“…In this sense, the closure generated a culture of complaint, but not a culture of resistance. 5 For an analysis of the idea of 'European efficiency', see Stacul (2006). 6 This view is largely idealized.…”

This article explores the ways the discourse of economic liberalism coexists with the values of a post-peasant society in the Trentino region of northern Italy. It illustrates how values that apparently have nothing to do with politics can form the background against which a political transformation is understood. In showing how ideological messages emanating from national and regional centres are appropriated by social actors, the article suggests that the discourse of economic liberalism becomes appealing because it converges with discourses existent in 'local culture', most notably with a notion of local identity built on ideas about work and private property.

“…Some scholars emphasise the importance of attending to the views of individual citizens (Goddard et al 1994;Robyn 2005;Pederson 2008). Others have done interesting work showing regional and 'on-the-ground' ways of conceptualising Europe in terms of local cultural categories (Bukowski et al 2003;Meinhof 2004;Wilson 2000;Stacul 2006).…”

“…In other words, as the EU fi gures more in members' everyday lives, and as transnational contacts and interconnections become more common, identifi cation with Europe should grow. A number of these scholars have called for studies of European identity in everyday lives (see Meinhoff 2004;Stacul 2006), but only a few have done the kind of close ethnographic analysis that characterise the papers collected here.…”

Religious organisations that secularise their community outreach to gain European Union (EU) funding, border-city residents whose consumption practices exploit cross-border economic disparities, EU member states that protect their domestic labour market by restricting access to legal work and medical care for citizens of new member states, recently admitted citizens who nevertheless take advantage of increased opportunities for mobility to improve their economic and social standing, and even in some cases use their scepticism about membership to promote their personal or national interests within the EU – all of these examples point to the complex and varied ways in which instrumentality figures in day-to-day dealings with the European Union. This special issue of AJEC seeks to contribute to the anthropological study of the European Union by examining ways in which various individuals, groups and institutions use the EU to pursue their political, economic and social goals at local, national and transnational levels within Europe.
