In this volume we approach the question of what it is to be European by considering the way in which citizens talk about their everyday lives, as they are
perceived against the background of Europe and European issues. Hence, the volume will offer insights into the rarely glimpsed micro political world of
ordinary talk and explore the way in which such talk in social interaction and other spheres might help us understand what Europe means to a range of its
citizens.
Using a range of broadly discursive approaches we will touch on, inter alia, issues of identity, youth, borders, ethnicity, local politics, and minority
languages. In the end, we suggest, it is a common sense view of pragmatic utility that centres what it is to be European, and this is something which is
continually fluid and shifting within ever changing social, historical and political circumstances.
