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.

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.

Directed by Renaud Dehousse and Elvire Fabry. At a moment when Germany is the focus of much attention on the European scene, Notre Europe has turned to a series of experts who examine the changes that have taken place in Germany’s European policy. What are the current driving actors and forces? Can Germany really be considered more inward-looking than it used to be? Is this a long-term trend? Contributions have been made by German (or German-Greek) experts and are completed by a British external point of view.
