In the News (Thu 24 Dec 09)

  
 Europeanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Commonly, but not necessarily, associated with the demand for faster and deeper integration of the states of the European Union, it is an attitude whose prevalence among the people of Europe varies widely across the continent, with the United Kingdom and the Scandinavian countries generally the most skeptical.
Europeanist thinking is, by definition, synonymous with support for supranational union in Europe, i.e.
Europeanists are usually not entirely satisfied with the organization and working of the EU institutions, but they think the solution lies not in destroying what has been built, but on the contrary to push for more unity, transparency and democracy.

 Society for the Anthropology of Europe
The SAE also was concerned with reaching graduate students who were in departments with no Europeanists on the faculty, and were therefore likely to feel themselves marginal to their colleagues.
While the legitimacy and contributions of Europeanist Anthropology within the larger discipline are still a concern, the current focus of the Society has shifted somewhat.
The concerns of Europeanists that they are marginalized as a group within the broader field of Anthropology had firm foundations.

 EASA Europeanist Network   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The objective of this network of Europeanists is to provide a forum for communication and exchange, and an arena for intellectual and professional debate between members on issues relevant to a region of the World named Europe.
It should also be instrumental in identifying new themes in research and teaching, as well as 'professional niches' of interest to social anthropologists, and in providing a platform for developing in collaboration all sort of projects to deal with these challenges and opportunities.
Secondly, whether the Europeanists Network as such (or in collaboration with other networks and/or professional associations) would want to get involved in convening and organising a conference on the theme Anthropology in Europe.

 Council for European Studies
On the one hand, Steinmetz reminds us of things that Europeanists should never forget: that Europe was constructed of non-European materials; that it took its modern shape on the backs of the lands it conquered; and that even its own state formation in the medieval and early modern periods was a colonial process.
New Inspirations: One new source of inspiration for Europeanists is found in the recent blossoming of European and Europeanist anthropology, as once-ghettoized Eastern Europeanist specialists interact with their once-postcolonial and increasingly-Europe focused colleagues in Western Europe.
And European and Europeanist scholars have been actively broadening the “social movement” field beyond their territorial home to examine revolutions, communal conflicts, nationalism and democratization.

The Report would then be taken as a sort of White Paper or basic document, which to a considerable extent help in framing the symposium's works and debates; as well as being thoroughly scrutinized and discussed in a specific panel during the meeting.
On the occasion of the 9th EASA Conference (Bristol, September 2006) the Europeanists network will hold its first formal 'business meeting', where final decisions should be taken in regard to the issues referred to above; as well as all other issues that pertain to the aims and management of the network.
The editing of the proceedings or the European Science Foundation's workshop Towards an Anthropology of Europe…, held in Litomysl, Czech Republic, is in progress.

 21st Century Crusades? - Story 19, Prediction 8
The recent terrorist bombings in London and Sharm-al-Sheik were not specifically directed against Christianity, Pope Benedict XVI said Monday, but he stopped short of agreeing that Islam could be a religion of peace.
A committed Europeanist, the German-born pontiff sees Europe's burgeoning population of immigrant Muslims as a growing threat to Christian values and the Christian way of life.
But to the Islamist suicide bombers the aim was to create chaos through terror; and if a few brethren died in the process they had given their lives in a worthy cause.

 Ballet-Dance Magazine - Moving Africa - Vincent Sekwati Koko Mantsoe, Andriamoratsiresy, Salia nï Seydou - ...
Previous experiences or preconceived notions of what dance from Africa is thought to be disperse before these eloquent dance expressions that are not theatricalised presentations of culturally specific, scared or secular rituals, or renditions of the lived experience of the noble savage, or peregrinations of the elegant survivor of denigrating circumstances.
Even though the Barbican presented an obstacle for Mantsoe to reach his audience on a spiritual plane, Mantsoe succeeded in “touching” the audience with carefully chosen glances that revealed the mental and spiritual states of Barena (Chiefs) that Mantsoe portrayed.
But beyond this first glance, the gaze apprehends, if it is suitably endowed, multiple world experiences where Africanist and Asian roots coupled with individual choreographic propensities make these works dance making phenomena in their own right.

But neither does she succumb to a narrow essentialism; for though she contends that Africanist and Europeanist aesthetic principles constitute binary opposites (7-10), she wants to acknowledge the cultural dynamic of cross-pollination.
Gottschild writes, "Dance writer and enthusiast Arnold Haskell saw beyond the Europeanist aesthetic and gave an Africanist-based reading to these juxtapositions when he wrote, in the 1920s, that African-Americans `blend the impossible and create beauty'" (15).
Ephebism suggests vitality, flexibility, drive, etc. "Rhythmic speed, sharpness...., force, and attack are comparatively muted concepts in the classical European ballet tradition and are dictated and circumscribed by requisites of the ballet form" (16), according to Gottschild.

 Italy: Give Prodi a chance - Editorials & Commentary - International Herald Tribune
But he is also a serious player with a respectable track record in Italy's public life, a good international reputation and strong Europeanist credentials.
He is likely to repair large parts of Italy's credibility that have been seriously damaged by corporate scandals, most notably the saga over the management of the Bank of Italy.
Most of all, after five years of a government that scorned the Europeanist tradition, Italy now stands a chance of regaining its role as one of Europe's founding nations and being actively involved in the debate on policies and governance.

 Ballet-Dance Magazine - African Dance Identity and Adzido Dance - by Thea Nerissa Barnes
The most provocative, evolutionary aspect of these works was their use of alternative dancemaking traits not usually associated with African dance aesthetics.
With the transliteration of Europeanist and Africanist dance practices, with the proliferation of cultural hybrids in dance being the norm, not the exception -- what is “African dance” at this moment in time, post modernity, post apartheid, perhaps post racial?
There is a geographical and shared history for all African dance forms that lead to commonality but there are also the stereotypes and myths, the traditions that make exotic, or denigrate, invisiblise or commodify “African dance”.

In the broadcast both Ramsay Burt and Thomas DeFrantz explain how 20 th century Europeanist critical establishment may not have been interested in the experiences of African Americans as portrayed by Primus or appreciative of African American dance making as evidenced in Dunham’s merger of ballet and Caribbean aesthetics.
New approaches to dance making were instigated the moment the Europeanist gaze demeaned the dance of Africans on the slave ships those many years ago.
Baker and Dunham’s inclusion of Europeanist influences in their performance and choreographic work is also undeniable.

 Anthropology of East Europe Review 7(1&2)
Perhaps, as some believe, it is now time for East Europeanist anthropologists to widen their perspective, to abandon their "parochialness." Perhaps the EEAG has served its purpose, and it is now time to move on.
Sessions are planned on migration and immigration, religion, family history and historical demography, rural history, women's history, economic history, political history, urban history, criminal justice and legal history, the history of education, labor history, and methods and theory.

Gottschalk felt that the single greatest event during the period he would examine was the European collision with America.
To him, a Europeanist by training, Europe, by "discovering" the New World, created world history, albeit accidentally.
While Gottschalk was the main author, two associate authors were enlisted to broaden the study, and numerous young scholars were hired as Research Assistants, including a young Marshall Hodgson, who joined the team as its Islamic researcher.

North America is the most suitable place for this because here they do not even know what the European Commission is, for example.

 Anthropology of East Europe Review 9(1)
The EEAG will work with the SAE to organize panels on our area, and to involve East Europeanists in sessions either dealing with Europe as a whole or concerned with more general anthropological issues for which our experience and data are relevant.
The pace and extent of East European change has not only changed these societies and world geopolitics but also has effected the very categories by which we conceptualize the region.
The pace of regional change being what it is, we are hard put to keep up with East Europe events, current research, and your activities as well.

 rnsa: Will the U.S. and the EU Form a Free-Trade Zone?
Think tank Stratfor made several astute observations about this proposed policy we find particularly intriguing.
This buzz about a trans-Atlantic free-trade agreement (tafta) indicates that “there is unlikely to be a grand federalist push during Merkel’s turn as EU president.” As Stratfor explains, “While Merkel is an avowed Europeanist, she is uncomfortable with some aspects of European integration.
Issues like a common foreign policy or a system that constrains German options rub her the wrong way, and currently Germany is blocking efforts to streamline EU policy formation in issues of judicial affairs—preferring to retain Germany’s veto” (something the UK, on the other hand, is voting to give up).
