Narrating Europe’s Pluralities: Unity, Diversity and Exceptionality

Europe's identity has been said to be shaped by unitary narratives about a shared legal heritage, extending to past societies such as ancient Greece and Rome or the Carolingian Empire. In many ways, these narratives present a vision of Europe built on a unitary culture and standard procedures. At the same time, pluralism is reflected in adaptations, reinterpretations and counter-narratives that have developed in response to the dominant narratives. The aim of this workshop will be to critically investigate different narratives set in diverse European contexts, and to examine them through the lens of legal pluralism.
