None European Culture in Diversity PDF
Edited by Krystyna Kujawinska Courtney, Evan Williams
Description
This collection of articles devoted to Europe was born from the urgent need to present the specificity of European culture, both its unity and diversity, and at the same time create a stimulating dialogue about European culture and its complexities.
European culture, considered as all inherited beliefs and values behind social action, has been treated in the past as a complex phenomenon of superior value, as the result of a common past among European nations, the permeation of various cultural elements between cultures, and their absorption in different contexts.
In the past the process of shaping European identity was often fierce and dramatic, influenced by the events taking place within, but also outside European borders.
Now, it has undergone various transformations as a result of new political, economic and cultural challenges.
For this reason, the authors and editors of this volume place emphasis on diachronic perspectives: their approaches often consider local European issues against a global background.
