Abstract (en)

Discourses on “Europe” in Lithuanian political and media fields have been discussed. Broad variety of contexts and meanings since the EU pre-accession debates has been shown. Mainly positive connotations in the mainstream political talks is contrasting with the particular negative aspects reflected in euro-sceptic campaigns, such as that of Ignalina nuclear power station referendum, and “Referendum on Land”. Explanatory power of particular theoretical approaches, such as historic and discursive institutionalism, has been considered. As a supplementary approach, a meta-narrative explanation of what can be called content of “Europe”, is discussed.
