Description du projet
(Ex-)changement culturel et perceptions mutuelles en Europe de l’Est et de l’Ouest
Dans une période marquée par les crises migratoires, la pandémie de Covid-19, les reculs démocratiques et les conflits tels que la guerre en Ukraine, l’Europe a vu resurgir les stéréotypes culturels et nationaux. Quatre décennies après la fin de la guerre froide, l’Europe est confrontée à une aliénation croissante entre l’Europe de l’Est et de l’Ouest, et à des points de vue contradictoires concernant l’Europe, l’UE et ses principes. Ces tendances révèlent la persistance de dynamiques post-coloniales en Europe. Le projet NARDIV, financé par l’UE, se penche sur l’avenir des relations transnationales à travers la culture et le patrimoine. Il se concentre sur six pays de l’UE: la France, les Pays-Bas, l’Allemagne, la Pologne, la Slovaquie et la Roumanie. Des universitaires, des praticiens de la culture, des artistes et des dirigeants de l’industrie créative se réunissent pour étudier les défis actuels, des histoires divergentes à l’impact des médias numériques.
Objectif
Europe experiences a relaunch of cultural and national stereotypes triggered by the migration crisis, Covid-19, democratic backslides and war against Ukraine. Four decades after the fall of the war, Eastern and Western Europe seem increasingly alienated, each having different perceptions on Europe, the EU and its principles. These trends manifest themselves in an alienation between Eastern and Western Europe, as well as in the perception of Europe in general. Intermittently they are, as we suggest, expressions of resilient post-colonial relationships within Europe.
With a focus on the (clichéd binary) East-West confrontation, this project explores the future possibilities of building and managing transnational relationships in the fields of culture and heritage, one of the mainstays of customary cultural diplomacy. Taking six European countries as the basis of our exploration – France, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Slovakia and Romania – we critically examine mutual perceptions in Eastern and Western Europe through the prism of intercultural exchange.
In the framework of the project, scholars, practitioners from culture-exchange institutes, artists and creative industries players join forces to scrutinise current difficulties, from diverging historical developments, emotional investments, to challenges of the digital media revolution. The objective is to develop new strategies to conceptualise and revitalise cultural encounters and exchange between East and West to discuss mutual perceptions and ideas. The findings of this collaboration aim at a) boosting the culture-diplomacy / exchange sector by strengthening their role as mediators of transnational European values; b) lay bare best and worst practices in order to develop recommendations for new approaches and (media) strategies. Thus, fostering a more inclusive concept of cultural diplomacy to counter populist, identity-based discourses and to promote the European narrative across different cultural heritages
