Description
Product Description Europe's boundaries have mainly been shaped by cultural, religious, and political conceptions rather than by geography. This volume of bilingual essays from renowned European scholars outlines the transformation of Europe's boundaries from the fall of the ancient world to the age of decolonization, or the end of the explicit endeavor to "Europeanize" the world.From the decline of the Roman Empire to the polycentrism of today's world, the essays span such aspects as the confrontation of Christian Europe with Islam and the changing role of the Mediterranean from "mare nostrum" to a frontier between nations. Scandinavia, eastern Europe and the Atlantic are also analyzed as boundaries in the context of exploration, migratory movements, cultural exchanges, and war. The Boundaries of Europe, edited by Pietro Rossi, is the first installment in the ALLEA book series Discourses on Intellectual Europe, which seeks to explore the question of an intrinsic or quintessential European identity in light of the rising skepticism towards Europe as an integrated cultural and intellectual region. Review "[...] der Leser [wird] über Entwicklungen und (teils diskussionswürdige) Kontinuitäten von der Antike bis in die heutige Zeit hinaus mit Perspektivwechseln, Brüchen, gegenläufigen Tendenzen und unterschiedlichen Innen- und Außenperspektiven konfrontiert. Differenzierend zwischen geographischen, staatlich-territorialen und mentalen Grenzen trägt jeder Beitrag auf seine Weise dazu bei, den Prozess der Herausbildung Europas eben gerade nicht als geradlinig und selbstverständlich zu begreifen. [...] Wer nach einem kompakten Einstieg sucht, um sich einen schnellen Überblick über wichtige Aspekte der Geschichte Europas und des europäischen Selbstverständnisses zu verschaffen, wird den Bd. sicherlich mit Gewinn zur Hand nehmen."Kordula Wolf in: QFIAB 97 (2017), S. 451-452 About the Author Pietro Rossi, University of Turin, Italy.
