This advanced training course has for aim an analysis of Europe understood from a double viewpoint, as ideological entity and as a body of institutional practises. This exercise shall involve two thematic axes: (1) understating the diversity of perspectives parting from the “inside” and realizing how they are negotiated from the “outside”, namely as what pertains to the South – and in this extent postulating, at the same time, that through the colonial experience and migratory dynamics the “outside” has continuously structured the “inside”; (2) exploring the challenge of thinking Europe whilst field of experimentation of ideas and practices that pursue equality. In both cases, it deals with examining the existence of Europe at different levels: local, regional, national and transnational, parting from the principle that these levels contract with each other; it also deals with positioning practices and ideas regarding Europe in a short, medium and long time span, exploring the permanence and the transformations of the models that have established themselves in the last five centuries since the beginning of European expansion.
