ARTIKEL UND FEUILLETONS
Culturopolia
Zusammendenken, was zusammengehört
Culturopolia ist eine Serie von Feuilletons, die zwischen 2011 und 2014 im "Sixth Sense" von Europe & Me erschienen. Sie widmen sich in Vergessenheit geratenen Verbindungen quer durch die europäische Kulturgeschichte – von den europäischen Sonntagsnarrativen der lateinischen Sprache und des Christentums über international vernetzte Denker der Weimarer Klassik und Pointen der Aufklärung bis zu den tausendjährigen Schrecken der Kriege auf europäischen Boden.
Die Serie wurde initiiert und herausgegeben (sofern nicht abweichend angegeben) von Matt Shearman.
Europe’s Latin Question, 1. Januar 2012
"The charming lady who gave our continent her name was of Jewish ethnicity and Phoenician (nowadays Lebanese, Syrian and Israeli) nationality, the god who kidnapped her was Greek, and they had their first sex in Crete. The roots of the mythical figure "Europa" are of Greek and not of Latin origin. And yet the "Latin connection" is highlighted on every possible occasion when it comes to legitimising the idea of a European identity, or even a European language."

"The French, not the Greeks, invented today's Europe and did so through bloodshed and tragedy. Rejecting the feudal-absolutist class society, realising the ideas and values of the enlightenment, 1789 was the birth of what would become a commonly shared notion of democracy and human rights throughout Europe. Yet 1789 also proved how dramatically a supreme moral vision can turn into its opposite through its very implementation – likewise a dilemma of persistent relevance. A German poet was early in grasping that, and tried to lead France on his alternative path to democracy: Friedrich Schiller."

The Best of All Possible Worlds?
2. April 2011
"An earthquake of magnitude 9, a tsunami of 15 metres, conflagration for days. 85 percent of a blossoming metropolis is devastated, 235,000 people killed. A mental shake-up makes the foundations of age-old world views crumble, and when the initial distress dies away the world finds itself undergoing a process of deep rethinking hitherto unseen."
