Abstract

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 visitors engage with European identity narratives and elaborate their European belonging. We especially scrutinize how everyday encounters and experiences, such as mobility, shape identifications with 'Europe' and perceptions of what is 'European'. The interviews are interpreted in the theoretical framework of 'being' and 'becoming' European. This framework indicates a centuries-long liminal position of the Central and Eastern Europe. It enables us to scrutinize CEE citizens' sense of belonging to Europe in an intersection of dual Europeanization, i.e. cultural Europeanization and 'Europeanization' of the CEE countries to overcome this liminal position and become 'true' Europeans.

属于欧洲的奋斗与平庸。从中欧和东欧公民的角度看文化欧洲化。
欧洲联盟(欧盟)制定了旨在促进文化欧洲化的文化政策措施,目的是构建欧洲身份叙事,促进公民对欧洲和欧盟的归属感。本文通过对欧盟文化政策中的一项核心行动--欧洲遗产标签(EHL)--进行人种学研究,重点关注公民对文化欧洲化的看法。我们分析了在选定的欧洲遗产标签遗址与参观遗址的中欧和东欧(CEE)公民以及在位于中欧和东欧国家的三个欧洲遗产标签遗址工作的文化遗产从业人员进行的访谈。我们询问了从业人员和游客是如何参与欧洲身份叙事并阐述其欧洲归属感的。我们特别研究了日常接触和经历(如流动性)如何形成对 "欧洲 "的认同以及对 "欧洲 "的看法。访谈在 "成为 "和 "成为 "欧洲人的理论框架下进行解读。这一框架表明了中欧和东欧长达几个世纪的边缘地位。它使我们能够在双重欧洲化(即中欧和东欧国家的文化欧洲化和 "欧洲化")的交叉点上仔细研究中欧和东欧公民对欧洲的归属感,以克服这种边缘地位,成为 "真正的 "欧洲人。
