Book presentation:
Europa dezentrieren: Globale Verflechtungen neu denken (Campus, 2019)
The co-editors Jens Adam (Bremen) and Paweł Lewicki (research associate at the Chair for Comparative Middle European Studies) will discuss the publication with Kira Kosnick, professor for Comparative Social and Cultural Anthropology (EUV).
Das Buch lädt in verschiedenen Beiträgen dazu ein, die brüchige Gegenwart des europäischen Projekts und die vielfältigen Krisen, die derzeit die Wahrnehmung Europas bestimmen, aus dem Blickwinkel seiner wenig beachteten globalen Verflechtungen und Abhängigkeiten neu zu denken. Es verbindet erstmalig eine sozial- und kulturwissenschaftliche Europäisierungsforschung mit postkolonialen Perspektiven und schlägt empirisch-analytische Wege für eine reflexive und kritische Europa-Forschung vor.
Read more information about the co-editors Jens Adam and Paweł Lewicki here (in German language).
The log-in information for the event via zoom will be shared on time via e-mail. We kindly ask everyone who is interested to sign up by sending an e-mail to ifes@europa-uni.de.
