As the millennium draws to a close, Europe is faced with a major challenge: that of upholding a message of humanity and carrying it as far as possible. Through the themes tackled in this book: desire and the urge to travel, the ambiguity of modernity, frontiers both imaginary and real, the seduction of landscapes, of the Other, of speech, the lure of forgetting and the demands of memory, the renewed appeal of barbarity but also the irrepressible desire for one justice for all... a Europe emerges which is sometimes turned in on itself, sometimes open to exchanges, to creativity, to the imagination, in turn built up and torn apart. The book Pushing back the horizon is a journey through these different forms of seduction, sometimes luminous, sometimes ambiguous which have haunted and which still haunt the old continent. At each stage there are two ways of seeing things, and the approach of the contributors and the illustrations attempts to convey the ambivalence of this Europe of many paradoxes, which simultaneously seduces and troubles us.   Documentation centre    centre for european culture    cultural centre of terrasson    documentation centre on human migrations    euroatelier association    european institute of cultural routes    fondation david parou saint-jacques advanced search printer friendly version send to a friend contact    home page  discovering Europe  Europe in progress  european mediations  memory of Europe  capital questions  european diagonals  who are we ?  with whom do we work ?  atlas of cultural routes  shop  polls  forum  Photo Gallery
