Diversity of Belonging in Europe
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-04238-1 (ISBN)
Diversity of Belonging in Europe analyzes conflicting notions of identity and
belonging in contemporary Europe. Addressing the creation, negotiation, and (re)
use of diverse spaces and places of belonging, the book examines their fascinating
complexities in the context of a changing Europe.
Taking an innovative interdisciplinary approach, the volume examines
renegotiations of belonging played out through cultural encounters with difference
and change, in diverse public spaces and contested places. Highlighting the
interconnections between social change and culture, heritage, and memory, the
chapters analyze multilayered public spaces and the negotiations over culture and
belonging that are connected to them. Through analyses of diverse case studies, the
editors and authors draw out the significance of the participation or exclusion of
differing community, grassroots, and activist groups in such practices and discourses
of belonging in relation to the contemporary emergence of identity conflicts and
political uses of the past across Europe. They analyze the ways in which people’s
sense of belonging is connected to cultural, heritage, and memory practices
undertaken in different public spaces, including museums, cultural and community
centres, city monuments and built heritage, neglected urban spaces, and online fora.
Diversity of Belonging in Europe provides a valuable contribution to the
existing bodies of work on identities, migration, public space, memory, and
heritage. The book will be of interest to scholars and students with an interest in
contested belonging, public spaces, and the role of culture and heritage.
