""In this book, Chiara Bottici and BenoiÌ‚t Challand explore the formative process of a European identity situated between myth and memory"-- Provided by publisher."In Imagining Europe, Chiara Bottici and BenoiÌ‚t Challand explore the formation of modern European identity. Europe has not always been there, although we have been imagining it for quite some time. Even after the birth of a polity called the European Union, the meaning of Europe remained a very much contested topic. What is Europe? What are its boundaries? Is there a specific European identity or is the EU just the name for a group of institutions? This book answers these questions, showing that in Europe’s formation, myth and memory, although distinct, are often merged in a common attempt to construct an identity for its present and its future. In a time when Europe is facing an existential crisis, when its meaning is being questioned, Imagining Europe explores a vital and often unacknowledged aspect of the European project"-- Provided by publisher."

Campur tangan para partisan partai di tingkat nasional memainkan peran yang penting dan tidak terhindarkan dalam mendefinisi ulang cara orang Bali merekonstruksi identitas budayanya yang amat kuat ditunjang oleh pariwisata dan strategi pembangunan selama Orde Baru. Sayangnya, proses rekonstruksi budaya ini tidak berjalan seperti yang diharapkan. Saat kesempatan untuk reformasi daerah atau partai politik muncul sebagai alternatif yang memungkinkan, eksklusivisme kedaerahan yang justru muncul."
