Changes in Young Europeans’ Values During the Global Financial Crisis

2019

We investigate the impact of the global financial crisis (GFC) on the personal values of youth and young adults (age 16–35 years) from 16 European countries. Using time series cross-sectional data from seven waves (2002–2014) of the European Social Survey, we examined (1) whether the GFC led to value shifts between cohorts of young people and (2) whether welfare state provision moderate the expected value shifts. Multilevel analyses showed that, following the GFC, the importance of security, tradition, benevolence, and, to a lesser extent, conformity values increased. In contrast, hedonism, self-direction, and stimulation values decreased. In line with our moderation hypothesis, power, and…

A note on homoclinic solutions of (p,q)-Laplacian difference equations

2019

We prove the existence of at least two positive homoclinic solutions for a discrete boundary value problem of equations driven by the (p,q) -Laplace operator. The properties of the nonlinearity ensure that the energy functional, corresponding to the problem, satisfies a mountain pass geometry and a Palais–Smale compactness condition.

Introduction : Europe, Heritage and Memory-Dissonant Encounters and Explorations

2019

The introduction to Dissonant Heritages and Memories in Contemporary Europe theoretically grounds the book’s various problematizations of heritage and identity struggles in Europe today, including the heritage policies of the EU and other intergovernmental organizations, struggles over ethnographic and historical exhibitions, activist practices, and dissonant memories. By discussing these struggles and their problematizations, the introduction connects the book to a wide range of ongoing debates across the humanities and social sciences. At the same time, it discusses how convergences and divergences within and between the volume’s chapters foster new insights regarding the concepts of diss…

Politics of Mobility and Stability in Authorizing European Heritage : Estonia’s Great Guild Hall

2019

AbstractKaasik-Krogerus scrutinizes the European Heritage Label (EHL) as an authorized heritage discourse (AHD) in the making. She analyses how the discourse is formed in a politics of mobility and stability between the local, national, and European scales resulting from the interplay of europeanization (of the national and local) and domestication (of the European). The chapter asks how this politics of mobility and stability is conducted to manage the scalar dissonance in one of the sites, the Great Guild Hall in Tallinn, Estonia. Kaasik-Krogerus argues that the politics conducted in the exhibitions works in two controversial ways: legitimizing mobility and stability as natural and simult…

Dialogue in and as European heritage

2022

In this article, we scrutinize the use and institutionalization of the concept of ‘dialogue’ in the cultural politics of the European Union. Our focus is on how dialogue is understood in the context of the European Union’s flagship heritage action, the European Heritage Label, that aims to strengthen citizens’ sense of belonging to the Union. Since heritage has gained increasing prominence in the European Union international relations, we also discuss how ‘dialogue’ is institutionalized in the European Heritage Label as part of the European Union’s heritage diplomacy. We approach dialogue in the context of the European Heritage Label as a floating signifier; an ideal seldom explicitly defi…

Europe from Below : Notions of Europe and the European among Participants in EU Cultural Initiatives

2021

In this book, Tuuli Lähdesmäki, Katja Mäkinen, Viktorija L. A. Čeginskas, and Sigrid Kaasik-Krogerus scrutinize how people who participate in cultural initiatives funded and governed by the European Union understand the idea of Europe. The book focuses on three cultural initiatives: the European Capital of Culture, the European Heritage Label, and a European Citizen Campus project funded through the Creative Europe programme. These initiatives are examined through field studies conducted in 12 countries between 2010 and 2018. The authors describe their approach as ‘ethnography of Europeanization’ and conceptualize the attempts at Europeanization in the European Union’s cultural policy as po…

Eurooppalaista identiteetiä rakentamassa : lukion historian opetuksen luoma kuva Suomesta osana Eurooppaa 1980-luvulta 2000-luvulle

2012

Pro gradu- tutkielmassani selvitin, minkälainen on lukion historian opetuksessa välittyvä kuva Suomesta eurooppalaisena valtiona. Tarkastelin mitä opetussuunnitelmat 1980-luvulta 2000-luvulle kertovat historian opetuksen tavoitteista ja mitä kerrotaan historian opetuksen vaikutuksesta oppilaan identiteettiin. Tutkin mikä on ollut opetuksen painopisteenä ja millaisia historian tulkintoja on haluttu virallisesti tukea ja millaisia arvoja historianopetukseen on liitetty. Tutkimukseni alkuperäislähteenä toimivat vuosien 1985, 1994 ja 2003 lukion valtakunnallisten opetussuunnitelmien perusteet sekä yhteensä 42 näiden opetussuunnitelmien perusteella Editan, WSOY:n ja Otavan julkaisemaa historian …

Struggle and banality of belonging to Europe. Cultural Europeanization from the perspective of the Central and East European citizens

2023

The European Union (EU) has developed cultural policy initiatives that seek to promote cultural Europeanization with the purpose of constructing European identity narratives and facilitating citizens’ sense of belonging to Europe and the EU. The article focuses on the citizens’ perspective to cultural Europeanization through ethnographic research on one central action in the EU cultural policy, European Heritage Label (EHL). We analyse the interviews conducted in selected EHL sites with Central and East European (CEE) citizens who were visiting the sites as well as with cultural heritage practitioners working at three EHL sites located in CEE countries. We ask how the practitioners and the …
