Abstract: This article argues for a robust notion of collective identity which is not reduced to a psychological conception of identity. In the first part, the debate on the concept of identity raised by several authors is taken up critically with the intention of defending a strong sociological conception of identity which by definition is a collective identity. The basic assumption is that collective identities are narrative constructions which permit the control of the boundaries of a network of actors. This theory i… Show more

“…for example Oberhuber 2007, Balibar 2004, Fligstein 2008, Delanty and Rumford 2005, Checkel and Katzenstein 2009, Cerutti and Lucarelli 2008, Friedman and Thiel 2012, Eder 2009, Herrmann et al 2004, Mole 2007, Stråth 2010, Krzyżanowski 2010, Wodak 2004, Wodak and Weiss 2005, DeBardeleben 2011, Morin and Carta 2014. Although such body of literature has provided significant insights on the many fluid transformations of Europe(anness), very few studies have illuminated how European identities are being negotiated and transformed among social actors vis-à-vis global changes and increasingly transnationalised societies which "make obsolete conventional understandings of identity formation and its processes" (Haller 2005(Haller : 1183.…”

“…Narratives offer new interpretations of the present; they are ways of experiencing and interpreting time and situate the present in relation to the past and future (see Eder 2009). Unlike earlier histories, which generally contained a 'grand narrative,' new histories of Europe are entirely devoid of any attempt to discern a meaningful pattern.…”

“…To speak of European identity, in the sense of the identity of Europe, is meaningful only if is clear that by European identity is meant something more than collective identity (Eder 2009). Group based identities -whether national identities or ethnic identities -generally do not produce societal cultural models and have a declining capacity to do so.…”

“…According to Eder (2009), European collective identity is "multiple" because it is shaped by competing historical narratives that represent the unsettled spaces of European social relationships and conflicts. Building on Eder's idea, I have been using Marquand's great ambiguities as the arena of competition, which structures politically motivated memories of Monnet.…”

“…There has been a growing emphasis on the need to link the debate on a collective European identity to the complex structure of social relations underlying the European political community (Eder, 2009). Instead of focusing on official EU symbols such as flags and buildings, and measuring the public's identification with these symbols, identity formation should be grasped in terms of organically emerging narratives that mediate European social conflicts and agendas.…”
