在20世纪90年代，关于欧洲身份的构成、谁属于它以及它的内部和外部边界等问题，出现了相互竞争的形象。这迫使人们反思国家领土权与其他空间尺度上发生的领土权之间的联系。本文分析了欧洲的图像，欧洲身份的叙述，以及这些图像如何暗示不同的形式和概念化的空间性。欧洲被理解为一种经验、一个结构体和一个机构。结构性解释传统上占主导地位，但现在，制度官僚主义观点在定义欧洲时占据了主导地位。越来越多的难民和移民潮使人们对以国家为中心的身份认同和民族文化的叙述产生了质疑。在目前的情况下，需要一种更加世界性的观点，而不是既定的、排他性的地方概念。本文认为，这可以通过理解地方作为个人经验的累积档案，不受某些特定位置的约束。就区域而言，可将其理解为集体体制结构。研究的一个挑战是反映区域和地方如何走到一起，以及在这一过程中涉及什么样的空间结构和意识形态。
During the 1990s competing images emerged of what constitutes European identity, who belongs to it, and what are its internal and external boundaries. This has forced reflection on the links between state territoriality, and territorialities occurring on and between other spatial scales. This paper analyses images of Europe, narratives on European identity, and how these images have implied different forms and conceptualizations of spatiality. Europe is understood as an experience, a structural body and an institution. Structural interpretations have traditionally been dominant, but now an institutional-bureaucratic view has taken a dominant position in defining what Europe is. Growing flows of refugees and immigrants call into question the state-centred identities and narratives of nationally bounded cultures. In the current situation a more cosmopolitan view is needed instead of the established, exclusive concept of place. The paper suggests that this can be done by understanding place as a cumulative archive of personal experience that is not bound with some specific location. Regions, for their part, may be understood as collective institutional structures. A challenge for research is to reflect how regions and places come together and what kind of spatial imaginaries and ideologies are involved in this process.
