Sažetak
Over the last two decades questions on identity, language, difference, diversity, hybridity, multilingualism, multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism have been strongly debated. In the case of the European Union this interest is evident across a wide range of disciplines including political science, policy studies, language studies, cultural geography, anthropology, sociology, history and cultural and film studies. Influenced by ‘ cultural turn’ , many of these studies see identities as processes of becoming rather than being, and in this context it is rather misleading to speak of identities, it is more appropriate to speak about identifications (Hall 1996). ‘ Being European’ is seen as just one of many identifications which can exist alongside others. However, these identifications are not equal, or a free choice, they are constructed by the interplay of different discourses (political, economic, cultural etc.). In this paper we explore the complexity of processes of identification… We ask:what makes it possible to talk about the so called 'European identity'…and how is this identity articulated with various national and local identities in Europe.
