Europe with a View: How Communication Students and an Analyst of Media Discourse Understand and Narrate (Another?) Union.

This paper reports on the dynamics the ‘world café methodology’ generated among participants in a discussion group on “(Mis)understanding Europe”. The interactions and the narratives that emerged during the seminar will be examined focusing on the specific standpoints sixteen communication students elaborated. They analysed the flaws of the European narrative(s), but also the great potential digital natives represent for the future of the Union. Data emerged during the two-day session will be discussed within an ethnography of communication framework, combined with linguistic anthropology techniques and a poststructuralist approach to International Relations.
