	Aziliz Gouez Research Associate. European Identity. Aziliz Gouez is a graduate of the Paris Institute of Political Studies ("Sciences-Po") and of the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS, Paris), where she studied anthropology. Her research has focussed on the symbolic levers of French local politics, then on diasporic phenomena. Before joining Notre Europe she alternated long periods both in and out of Europe. After a one year stay in Israel (volunteer on Kibbutz Hanita), she undertook ethnographic fieldwork research in the constituency of Corrèze MP and then leader of the French Socialist Party François Hollande, with a view to studying the material and symbolic trade offs which bind elected representatives and their voters. In 2003-2004, she was associate researcher at the Laboratoire d'Anthropologie des Institutions et des Organisations Sociales, directed by Marc Abélès (CNRS-EHESS; CULTPAT project: "Cultural Patterns of the European Enlargement") before leaving for New York where she pursued her PhD research while taking on varied jobs. Aziliz Gouez became part of Notre Europe's team in 2005 as head of research on European identity. She is now established in Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina), where she conducts ethnographic enquiries. She also contributes to the group formed by Pascal Lamy and Marc Abélès to reflect on the "anthropology of capitalism". Aziliz Gouez was born in 1979 and grew up in Brittany.

	Estrangements 06/08/2010 C’est avec un succès manifeste que les tenants du nationalisme et les partisans d’une refonte du pacte de solidarité collective ont abordé les rendez-vous électoraux de cette année 2010. Lega Nord en Italie, Jobbik en Hongrie, PVV aux Pays-Bas, ou N-VA en Flandres : le dépaysement que ces prédicateurs de l’entre-soi se proposent de conjurer est celui des autochtones, des citoyens racinés, qui ne se sentent plus « chez eux » dans leur ville. Pourquoi l’espace transculturel est-il si difficilement représentable dans l’Europe d’aujourd’hui ? Dé-paysements constitue une tentative pour analyser le décrochage entre dynamiques d’intégration économique et intensité des migrations intra-européennes d’une part, et expressions d’exclusivisme politique et culturel d’autre part.
	European encounters: 13 interviews on European Identity 29/07/2010 Réflexions sur la guerre, sur la place de l’Europe dans le monde, retours sur le passé communiste et le présent capitaliste - cette série d’entretiens sélectionnés par Aziliz Gouez offre une vision riche et profonde de notre appartenance à l’Europe du tournant du XXIe siècle. Chacune des personnalités interrogées nourrit le débat sur l’identité européenne de la singularité de son expérience historique et de sa tradition intellectuelle. À l’heure où le questionnement sur l’identité - nationale, civilisationnelle - prend des accents crispés et polémiques, la lecture de ces entretiens permet de prendre un peu de hauteur.
