Europe as an "Empty Signifier": A Radical Constructivist Perspective
In this paper we wanted to occupy a radical constructivist perspective in order to think about the European identity and the process of Europeanization. We started by distinguishing between conventional and radical constructivism - the former relying on scientific realism and positivism in treating concepts such as ideas, identities, cultural match… as variables that can be made compatible with the “objective” science of observation, while the latter renounces any kind of “metaphysical realism” in order to deal with an epistemological reflexivity of its own research field and the conditions of possibility of intuitive understandings that conventionalists are not keen to challenge. The difference could also be delineate as whether it is possible to grasp international reality independently of our own apparatus of understanding, or does our own position (as academies) intervenes in the process of its construction.
