Fragile Realities
The essay analyzes recent responses by intellectuals to the discourse of “crisis” concerning Europe’s unity and its future, which has been dominating discussions about the European project. It first surveys the European Writers Conference held in Berlin in 2014 and interprets its Manifesto, then analyzes a series of letter exchanges between European authors that was published in 2016-17. Both of these endeavors, which have involved about sixty writers from inside and outside of the E.U., give insight into how intellectuals view the current state of Europe and how they configure what might be called a European cultural identity in the twenty-first century. Through a dialogue that promotes the significance of a public sphere in and about Europe, the projects showcase the difference between political and cultural discourse. They are read here as an attempt to reestablish a European Republic of Letters that should play a prominent role in the continuation and reorientation of the European cultural project.
