Processes of European identity formation are analysed here in terms of
identity work and, specifically, relationship (interplay) between biographical
and collective identity work. First sections of the text (1 and 2) are focussed on
grounding the approach in a range of theoretical orientations (symbolic interactionism
and culturalist perspectives), on outlining its methodological implications
(the rationale for using the method of autobiographical narrative interviewing
and various methods of text analysis), and, finally, on developing research questions
and preliminary analytical dimensions of studying the collective identity
work, especially in relation to European identity work, the latter being based
on results of the author’s research on the minority nation society of Wales (e.g.
collective identity constructions, and figurations, in terms of cultural periphery /
centre, hybridity, and marginality). In the next step of analysis, these preliminary
questions and dimensions are related to problems of European identity work in
general. In the next section (3) overall heuristic strategies of the offered project
are formulated: the attitude of refractive self-reflection, the dialogical principle
of calibrating research interactants’ perspectives, a multi-layer approach to the
interplay between individual experiences and a variety of collective meaning
resources, the strategy of contrastive comparison of studied cases and, finally, the zooming procedure of focussing (coding) empirical materials. The last section of
the text (4) relates to the objectives / expected products of the project concerning
dimensions and integrated model of collective identity work in Europe, and their
practical implications for a range of social / political activities in education, legislation,
governance, as well as for NGOs, social arenas and social movements.
