Degrees of European Belonging
The fuzzy areas between us and them
Editor
While we tend to divide the world into Us and Them, a number of grey nuances exist beyond this white and black distinction. The purpose of this book is to address the fuzzy areas between Us and Them through the study of European belonging as it is represented in the French elite daily, Le Monde. Corpora collected from 2014 to 2017 are used for case studies in the framework of Discourse Analysis to look at the use of “Europe” in headlines, and the representation of the United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, Belarus, and Turkey. The combination of these case studies allows to present a conceptual framework for the representation of Europe by Le Monde. However, beyond the study of what belonging to Europe means for Le Monde, this book is about the legitimacy of being “in-between”, i.e. belonging neither totally to Us nor to Them.

“It achieves an informative overall conclusion on what it sets out to do and is thus a great contribution to discourse studies of Europe and, through its combination of methodological approaches, also an inspiring achievement within the wildly interdisciplinary undertaking that is Discourse Studies.”
