Europe and the Everyday : Subjectivities, Identities and Contestations

Due to significant processes of transnationalization in the European context, a considerable relevance of potential social and political conflicts or disagreements in everyday life linked to Europe or the European Union can be observed. Consequently, the focus of this book is on the increasingly intertwined European citizens themselves and their everyday experiences with European and EU-related issues. The individual chapters provide fine-tuned perspectives on the connection of social and political European integration processes in the context of the EU and the everyday life of Europeans. Overall, the book draws attention to both how contestations over Europe and the EU figure in everyday life and on how European integration shapes individual (social and political) subjectivities and identities. This book is intended for scholars and advanced students of European Studies, Sociology and Political Science and International Relations.
