Das geschichtswissenschaftliche Teilprojekt des vom Bundesministerium
für Bildung und Forschung geförderten Verbundprojekts
"Imagined
Europeans. Die wissenschaftliche Konstruktion des Homo Europaeus"
veranstaltet am 7./8. September und am 4./5. Oktober 2007
Workshops in Berlin und München.
"Europa ist eine Erfindung des Europäers. Doch wer erfand den Europäer?
Seit wann bevölkert der Homo Europaeus - als Durchschnittsmensch, als
Idealtypus, als Repräsentant - die Vorstellungswelten vor allem derer,
die sich im erfundenen Europa beheimatet wähnen? ... Im Mittelpunkt
stehen nicht Konstruktionen Europas oder des Europäischen, sondern
Konstruktionen des Europäers im Rahmen der untersuchten Wissensfelder.
Außerdem stellt der Workshop die Frage nach der Funktion des jeweiligen
Wissensbestandes, in dem Aussagen über den Europäer zusammengefasst
werden."
