"The Romanian press is beyond salvation"

An interview with Mircea Vasilescu

Earlier this year, Eurozine partner "Dilema Veche" was almost dragged down with the rest of a failing Romanian press. But thanks to original journalism, inventive strategy and an independent attitude, the magazine looks like pulling through all the stronger, says its editor. [ more ]

Håkan A Bengtsson
Prolog: Att återuppfinna Europa
Editorial: Reinventing Europe
The European demos needs to be established. National vs. supernational democracy is not a zero sum game.
Devrim Mavi
Juholt in -- invandrarna ut
How the Swedish Social democrats abandoned integration policy
Several changes by the new party leader indicate that the Swedish Social democrats no longer has a specific policy for integration issues.
Michael Kumhof, Mikael Feldbaum
Interview: IMF economist: Crisis begins with inequality
IMF economist Michael Kumhof travels the world with a somewhat surprising message coming from an IMF economist: if economic inequality is not reduced, it is just a matter of time before the world faces a new financial crisis.

Tema: Rörelser i staden

Focus: Movements in the city
Håkan Thörn
Kampen finns där makten finns
The movement is where the power is
When cities are gentrified, alternative culture is being pushed aside. But that is exactly why the inner city will never be come irrelevant for activists.
Lisa Kings
Rörelsen är i förorten
The movement is in the suburbs
Media loves to portray either apathetic slackers or violent rioters. Researchers are romanticizing hip hop. What neither of them see is that the new movements are alive in the civil society of the suburbs.
Sofia Wiberg
Påverkan på ojämna villkor
Influence on unequal terms
Citizen dialogue has become a way for municipalities to market themselves. But real democratic influence demands new forms of organizing.

Ingemar Lindberg
Alla vill betala skatt
Everyone wants to pay taxes
The threat to taxation does not come from high tax rates, in fact the opposite holds true.
Tomas Lindbom
Eliten Frankrike älskar att hata
The elite the French love to hate
A country's complicated relation to power and to its self image.
Elin Sahlin
Att hjälpa fattiga -- en god affär?
Helping the poor -- big business?
The Mexican state claims the Chiapas sustainable cities are built to combat poverty. Critics claim they are built to evict people from areas rich with natural resources.

The EU: Broken or just broke?

http://www.eurozine.com/comp/focalpoints/eurocrisis.html
Brought on by the global economic recession, the eurocrisis has been exacerbated by serious faults built into the monetary union. In a new Eurozine focal point, contributors discuss whether the EU is not only broke, but also broken -- and if so, whether Europe's leaders are up to the task of fixing it. [more]

European histories (2): Concord and conflict

http://www.eurozine.com/comp/focalpoints/eurohistories2.html
Broadening the question of a common European narrative beyond the East-West divide. How are contested interpretations of historical and recent events activated in the present, uniting and dividing European societies? [more]

Changing media -- Media in change

Media change is about more than just the "newspaper crisis" and the iPad: property law, privacy, free speech and the functioning of the public sphere are all affected. On a field experiencing profound and constant transformation. [more]

Slavenka Drakulic
The tune of the future
Italy: old Europe, new Europe, changing Europe

http://www.eurozine.com/articles/2012-03-15-drakulic-en.html
Travelling around Italy, Slavenka Drakulic observes one kind of Europe being replaced by another. Instead of attempting to conserve the cultural past, we should accept that migration will adapt much of what we consider "European" to its own image. [more]

Klaus-Michael Bogdal
Europe invents the Gypsies
The dark side of modernity

Social segregation, cultural appropriation: the six-hundred-year history of the European Roma, as recorded in literature and art, represents the underside of the European subject's self-invention as agent of civilising progress in the world. [more]

George Prevelakis
Greece: The history behind the collapse

Greece's economic crisis has its roots in a political pact dating back to the foundation of the modern state. The threat posed to Europe by the Greek breakdown is less contagion than a wave of anti-western feeling. [more]

Europe talks to Europe

http://www.eurozine.com/comp/europetalkstoeurope.html
Nationalism in Belgium might be different from nationalism in Ukraine, but if we want to understand the current European crisis and how to overcome it we need to take both into account. The debate series "Europe talks to Europe" is an attempt to turn European intellectual debate into a two-way street. [more]

Literature     click for more

Steve Sem-Sandberg
Even nameless horrors must be named

http://www.eurozine.com/articles/2011-09-23-semsandberg-en.html
It is high time to lift the aesthetic state of emergency that has surrounded witness literature for so long, writes Steve Sem-Sandberg. It is not important who writes, nor even what their motives are. What counts is the "literary efficiency". [more]

Literary perspectives
The re-transnationalization of literary criticism

Eurozine's series of essays aims to provide an overview of diverse literary landscapes in Europe. Covered so far: Croatia, Sweden, Austria, Estonia, Ukraine, Northern Ireland, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Hungary. [more]

Mykola Riabchuk
Tymoshenko: Wake-up call for the EU

The EU shouldn't be surprised by the Tymoshenko verdict: its support of anything nominally reformist has been perceived as acceptance of a range of repressions, argues Mykola Riabchuk. [more]

Conferences     click for more

Eurozine emerged from an informal network dating back to 1983. Since then, European cultural magazines have met annually in European cities to exchange ideas and experiences. Around 100 journals from almost every European country are now regularly involved in these meetings.
Arrivals/Departures: European harbour cities as places of migration
The 24th European Meeting of Cultural Journals
Hamburg, 14-16 September 2012

http://www.eurozine.com/comp/hamburg2012.html
Harbour cities as places of movement, of immigration and emigration, inclusion and exclusion, develop distinct modes of being that communicate how they see themselves as part of the structure that is "Europe". The 2012 Eurozine conference will explore how European societies deal variously with the cultural legacy of the "harbour city". [more]
