Through a critical interpretation of the meanings of the various symbols - and their often contradictory or ambiguous dimensions - Johan Fornäs investigates how Europe currently identifies itself and is identified by others outside its borders. While the focus is on the European Union's symbols, those symbols are also interpreted in relations to other symbols of Europe. Offering insight into the cultural dimensions of European unification, this volume will appeal to students, sholats, and politicans interested in European policy issues, cultural studies, and postnational cultural identity.

A series of examples show how the uses of this concept are linked to issues of power and identity.
Kultur är ett av språkets allra mest mångtydiga och svårdefinierade ord. Här ges en guide till hur dess fyra huvudbetydelser har växt fram och vad kultur kan betyda idag - från odling via livsformer och konstarter till meningsskapandets processer. Genom en lång rad talande exempel framträder en bild av hur begreppet knyter samman frågor om makt och identitet.

However, a series of structuralist and poststructuralist waves have at the same time marginalised hermeneutics in cultural studies. The influential anti-hermeneutic challenges of Foucault, Kittler and Latour underline the necessity to abandon the romantic conceptions in much of classical hermeneutics. However, these critics tend to throw the baby out with the bathwater, and cannot ground late modern cultural theory. If taken fully seriously, the demand to abandon interpretation and replace meanings with some kind of materiality would evacuate cultural research or reduce it to plain physics. Instead, Paul Ricoeur’s critical textual hermeneutics offers a more useful polydimensional understanding of culture. This is a presentation of anti-hermeneutic challenges, discussing how they may be overcome by recharging key cultural concepts with energies deriving from taking these challenges seriously and letting them inspire a reconstitution of cultural theory from a post-anti-hermeneutic perspective.
