Re-assembling and disciplining social Europe: turbulent moments and fragile f(r)ictions

In this chapter we trace European integration not as a linear, modernist process of catch-up, convergence and mutual learning but as a set of mediated, post-colonial encounters and translations. Conceiving of Europeanisation as a misplaced, catch-all term for multiple and discontinuous practices of disciplinarity, knowledge and power, allows us to re-examine the realm of ‘the social’ as it has been radically re-assembled and re-constructed across space and time, here specifically in relation to the Southeast European post-conflict, post-Yugoslav space-time assemblage. To do this, we take postcolonialism as a study of both culture and politics where imperialism, colonialism and agency are linked both discursively as well as materially.
