Paper long abstract:

Standardised European projects often entail eurocentric worldviews, fabricating discourses on the commonality of principles, moral values and social practices against the current conjuncture characterised by normatively regulated crisis and political fractures. The perceived state of living uncertainty and vulnerability of European institutions, create a space for the missing significance of current times and the emerging need to re-evaluate actors and network powers. Going beyond this apparently fixed framework where uncertainty is also given by fossilised Europeanisation techniques, other spaces may be investigated to question the significance of Europe outside its borders but, at the same time, conduct an analysis within of its physical and imagined boundaries. In this sense, tourist place/digital performances may be assembled to show a more complex scenario of what Europe may or may not be due to its internally disrupted societies in the post-pandemic future by following the tourists traveling through the unveiled (not eurocentric) emotional and material vision of how European people re-make Europe in their everyday life and the purposes that current Europeanisation may fulfil for future generations.
