The volume traces the ways in which ideas of Europeanness shaped discourses of inclusion and exclusion during the last centuries. It draws on historical as well as literary, cultural, and art studies to examine topographies of Europe-related values and their role in framing difference and belonging in the face of the continent’s inner diversity. By taking a long-term view, the book shows how these patterns of mental mapping persisted and changed over time, offering fresh insights into how we understand Europe today.
