SUMMARY:CES: Imagining Europe: Culture, Legitimacy and the EU in Crisis
DESCRIPTION:<div class="scroll"><div class="summary">As economic and political crises have stretched European social solidarity to the breaking point, McNamara’s new book, "The Politics of Everyday Europe: Constructing Authority in the European Union,” offers a way of understanding the foundations of the EU’s political authority. Examining a broad range of EU policy areas, she shows how everyday culture matters, and how the construction of meaning can be a potent power resource for the EU as a innovative political form--albeit one open to contestation and subversion by the very European citizens it calls into being.</div><div class="speakers"><div class="speaker"><span class="role"><br>Discussant: </span><a href="http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/soc/faculty/beckfield/index.html"> Jason Beckfield</a> <span class="affiliations">Professor of Sociology, Harvard University</span></div><div class="speaker"><a href="https://sfs.georgetown.edu/kathleen-mcnamara"> Kathleen McNamara</a> <span class="affiliations">Associate Professor of Government and Foreign Service , Georgetown University</span></div></div><div class="sponsors"><span><br>Sponsors:</span> <a href="https://ces.fas.harvard.edu/studygroups/european-union/">The European Union Study Group</a></div><div class="details"><br>Light lunch will be served before the event in the CES Atrium</div><div class="contact"><span><br>Contact:</span> Peter Verovšek, <a href="mailto:verovsek@fas.harvard.edu">verovsek@fas.harvard.edu</a></div></div>
