Starting point for this publication is a critique of the unreflected instrumentalisation of >European MemoryEuropean MemoryEuropean Memory< as a discursive reality of which academia is an integral part. It manifests itself whenever actors pick up 'Europe' in their interpretations of the past. Covering a broad spectrum of European memory ranging from the Vikings to the Srebrenica massacre, the volume includes very different attributes of European self-descriptions and enquires into the entanglements of memory in present and past that are linked with these interpretations.
