国民教育体系的发展是建立在这样一种假设之上的，即它们将提供“国家空间”的特定表现形式，地理和历史等学校科目向学生提供关于空间和时间的具体说明。欧洲一体化项目表明，学校课程需要提供想象空间的替代方式。本文考察了地理教科书中欧洲空间的表述。分析表明，这些文本包含不同版本的“空间政治”，需要对学校教授的“欧洲地理”采取批判反思的立场。
The development of national education systems was premised on the assumption that they would offer particular representations of the ‘national space’, and school subjects such as geography and history offered pupils specific accounts of space and time. The project of European integration suggests the need for school curricula to offer alternative ways of imagining space. This essay examines the representation of European space in school geography textbooks. The analysis suggests that the texts contain different versions of the ‘politics of space’ and that there is a need for a critically‐reflexive stance on the ‘geographies of Europe’ as taught in schools.
