We Europeans? media, representations, identities

Summary: This volume explores the relationship between media and identity along the fault-lines and fissures of the ever-shifting collectivities that constitute Europe.

The collection explores how ethnicities, religions, tastes, generations and languages overlap one another, interact within individuals and define communities. Whether triggered by individual desires or shared fantasies, these dynamic collectivities make use of media in very different ways. Addressing topics.
