The Construction of a European Identity: A Visual Exploration of the House of European History’s Narratives

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The visual essay analyses the construction of Europeanity in the Brussels-based House of European History, a museum which opened its doors in 2017 and is mostly finance by the European Parliament. With a theoretical framework that distinguishes two dimensions (an essentialist/relationist discursive dimension and a political-spatial/socio-spatial material dimension), the essay combines a discourse-theoretical analysis with an arts-based research driven approach. The latter resulted in the inclusion of 19 photomontages which re-articulate the objects and projections of the permanent exhibition (and the museum shop) and which autonomously reflect on the museum’s construction of Europeanity. Together with the discourse-theoretical analysis of the exhibition (and its Guidebooks from 2019 and 2023), the analysis shows the strong presence of a more relationist discursive dimension, but it also demonstrates the impossibility to escape from more essentialist components, which include the articulation of Europeanity through value discourses, combined with the progressionist approach towards history and the privileging of the state on the one hand, and the (semi-)exclusions of regions that once were Europe, combined with the lack of substantial attention for the European periphery, and its key minorities and indigenous people, on the other hand.
