Apie sienas, kurios vis dar skiria Europos Vakarus nuo jos Rytų

Abstract

Europeans are still far from an all-embracing "grand narrative", assuming this is worth striving for at all. But much would undoubtedly be gained by discussing the existing plurality of narratives in a shared space transcending national boundaries. Under the heading "European histories", the 22nd European Meeting of Cultural Journals hosted by Kulturs barai and Eurozine in Vilnius in May, provided just such an opportunity. Here are some early impressions from the conference with the speeches of Valdas Adamkus, the President of Lithuanian Republic, and Remigijus Vilkaitis, minister of culture.
