Why not celebrate Europe Day today?
By: Manuel Montobbio | May 9, 2013
Why this Europe Day is not a holiday in Europe?. Why not celebrate all Europeans as we celebrate the New Year, Christmas and other religious holidays, the May or national or local ephemeris consider referrals of our collective identity?. Why limit your celebration to official events and receptions of the holders of the European institutions, the "Saint Schuman" enjoyed by its officers, or some discussion and articles in the media on the occasion of this day (as in final he)?. Do we care more about all religious commemorations, historical, thematic, national or local to fourteen days we spend our holidays work schedule?. Is it just a matter of European institutions and European Union officials, something that happens to others and not to us?. Is not that we Europeans as us as we celebrate the holidays we celebrate?. Europe Is not something to celebrate, and, if applicable, why?.
We celebrate what we are and what we believe. We celebrate what happened so that we might we are and who we are and want to remain. We celebrate what we believe and we celebrate that. We celebrate the beautiful moments of life, and to make them more beautiful celebrate. And life itself and being born. And death for us who are still alive in us live. We celebrate that we are together, to be together, and we got together to celebrate. We celebrate that we, the us who we are and for us. We celebrate what we've done, what we have achieved, what we are and want to be.
.
Why and what are festive holidays?. How they came to be?. Maybe they are today for many days off, for leisure, but his character originally was not working due to the need for dedication of that day to other ceremonies, family or other group activities, the need for that day were part of social being so different from what we as workers, respect for what we commemorate that seems best shown through exclusive dedication in this, with the uniqueness of the break from the routine of everyday life. For even exceptional - that last and final exceptionality of the moments that mark a before and after in nature and in life - were originally the reasons for its conclusion, as the winter and summer solstices, or the arrival of rain, or the birth or death, or burial or wedding, ol coronation of a king, or victory parade demanding triumphant warriors returning home, or harvesting or planting. He is joining this exceptional universal, common to all societies, that specific to each company or group of people, that makes us a we his, and to do it and feel it is celebrated. The us of family, the shared religion, the political community.
We can thus consider fourteen days as holidays listed in the work schedule as a conquest of the labor movement and the progressive expansion of social rights associated with the development of the welfare state. And no doubt it's existence. Mas is both in its content - in deciding what those holidays and in celebration of what - a pact between beliefs and ideas, an accommodation and recognition of the past, of tradition, an attempt to collect the legacy of history, but also to produce it, to make traditional ideas, to associate your celebration that held beliefs, to devote one day to his conclusion as to them is done to equalize in the symbolic and the collective imagination, impregnate their reasons for sociality, somehow promote civil sociality, civic or republican narrative mythology and state and community. The establishment and declaration of a new holiday - whether the worker or the Constitution - looking the myth, the symbol, the exemplary, the totem.
That search symbol, ritual, myth, totem occurs in all political power is restored, and the whole political community is constituted as such. And somehow they also look to this and this, as if to help them to be, to light up at all. How many times a time, a fact, a collective desire, a town or a power system have been trapped in a symbol. Many the very symbol can be power.
The symbol in the right time, you can get to make a unique and unrepeatable moment in history, that those who have lived will want to repeat, such as the growth and spread in revolutionary France La Marseillaise, that tells Stefan Zweig highlights of humanity. A narrative from which it seems as if people had not found his song, but a song to his people than to sing that song together worthwhile be people defending the homeland by singing it to him who has felt no dignity to sing eorgullo that of being one of the citizens that the song appeals. Where is the Marseillaise of the European Union?
Songs, parades, uniforms, flags, triumphal arches, statues or monuments, proclaimed holy days to honor the homeland. That step of beliefs and ideas as object of realization engine in history, the will of God to the people as a source of legitimacy, of affirmation of the social contract and popular sovereignty of the nation as a collective subject History, which occurs after the triumph of the French Revolution and Napoleonic extension, has a will and founding vocation, bursting with hitherto existing and the new statement as proof and symbol of progress and advancement of History, the new order and the new era that opens and establishes it and in the time of creation, adoption of new rituals in old ways, the manning of symbols, the magic, myths, ceremonial and ritual that defined the irrational character channeled the social experience of the order in the name of reason is broken. A symbolism, ritual and ceremonial republican, citizen, national, revolving around new stars and commemorations referential concepts binders of us, articulators of collective life: different, different, if you rupture - as the attempt shows the French Revolution to change up the names of the months, and reminds us in eighteen Brumaire of Napoleon Bonaparte -, but not without the same symbolism, grandeur and solemnity of cosmogenic speech and political account of what preceded it. Perhaps because, as we pointed out in his analysis of the political philosophy of Marx, Freud's psychoanalysis and anthropology of Levi-Strauss Nostalgia George Steiner in all, the knowledge that in the name of science and reason have tried to replace the cosmological discourse of religion have aspired to the same connection identity that religions regarding their believers. Perhaps simply because, consciously or intuitively, power, and women and men know, in the depths of our being social, that our life in common need of stories, examples, references, heroes and heroic ideals and ideas , songs, slogans, symbols, rituals, celebrations and totems to build, unite and keep our imagination and collective identity. And a History of which come and go, that we have done and do. And a better future and an ideal from which to live and give meaning to the present. Because we need to be, yes, these and many other things. And we need, we want to celebrate. Holidays need and want, and the founding solemnly proclaim and celebrate started one day. Because we are and to be.
Why not then celebrate Europe Day, or we do it how we do. Why not a holiday this May 9?. Why not do this?.
Could answer, in light of the above, as Pascal Lamy in La démocratie-monde, that "the absence of an intelligible scenery all Europeans hardly graspable and understandable for signs emitted power. Europe, from that point of view, is power without totem ". We might think that indeed is so and so has to be. That construction is different from Europe to any other system or existing political order, that it can not repeat the same substitutions and totemic symbolic representation in the history have led other political constructions. That Europe is, yes, a power without totem, and it has to be, so we want to be.
We might also ask whether totem can be a power without power. If the European construction is also a challenge to collective identity of building it. Or awareness of common identity, complementary to existing national identities and collective. From common human identity, of our common humanity, human rights we want to preserve and make social contract signing.
Kant told us that man is the only being that transcends itself. And Foucault that the prison is in oneself, as the law also. Also may be in us and Europe. Maybe it's the distinct European identity, one that results from assuming that the essence of Kantian transcend himself, to transcend existing national identities and assert it against our common human identity.
Human, more finally identity after all, and therefore also needed symbols, totems, collective celebration of collective identity.
Assume, finally, our multiple identities and multilevel citizenship, identity and European citizenship as essential elements of European integration. Remember that when looking back on the early days of European integration which began with the statement that the May 9 marks, Robert Schuman said that if I were to start over, start with culture. Thinking that perhaps could not empezarse the European by culture, but wonder if it will end without it.
We might ask, on the other hand, why not promote that conclusion from the power, if, perhaps subconsciously, that it could intuit it behaving finish its metamorphosis, the transformation of power in Europe, across Europe, in order to Europe, and somehow the hara kiri of his power, his symbolic exclusive to citizens, as had existed before.
You might think, well, there is no Europe to celebrate beyond the European Cup. But, if so, we might want to ask what Europe we want to celebrate it. And as citizens who ask for it on our behalf and for the realization of general interest in power in the states and the European institutions. Tell them we want Europe. And a Europe to celebrate. And we want to celebrate it. It also builds celebrating Europe Europe: how to celebrate it shows how we build, how we celebrate how we build it. They want Europe to be, well, a party. And we want to be festive your day, this day.
Holidays have been instituted from the top down, the power to the people, and from bottom to top, of citizenship to power. Also from bottom to top is constructed Europe. From us, every one and every one also depends on the path that starts with the question, restlessness, longing, desire, aspiration of the celebration of Europe.
