Why don’t we get involved in a joint work ...
Why don’t we get involved in a joint work on the history of Europe of cultural routes, and not only on the narratives and trajectories, studied exclusively from a national perspective. This repeated rereading must remind us that memory is not one-dimensional, that it must also make room for mediation between concurrent memories. The memory of every European consists of multiple aspects, of sometimes contradictory overlap of membership feelings. The mixture of intercultural currents crossing our continent creates, by their complexity, the sense of membership in a European community. It is necessary to recall to what extent the different episodes constituting national histories can be understood as a common heritage.
