Roundtable: A Multifaceted WWI Centenary and an Evasive Europe

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Media Discourse of Commemoration

Abstract

This chapter presents the online roundtable during which the authors shared their results as they pertained to four questions: European belonging, cultural memory and expression of national identity, transnationalization of memory about WWI, and the construction of Europe in news media. This final collective chapter emphasizes the coexisting conceptions of Europe that are present in the media discourse of commemoration. Furthermore, it underlines how the tension between the various national and European narratives regarding the Centenary of WWI is part of an ongoing Europeanization process.
