This paper is divided into two main sections that deal respectively with the most important linguistic and historical approaches to the political, cultural and institutional debates about Europe in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This overview is followed by an analysis of the articles published in the current issue of LCM. The inherent polyphony of the debates on Europe, their dynamic relationships with European past, European integration processes and Anti-European attitudes have emerged from these essays as a common ground for research. The dialogue between the studies that deal with discourse analysis on the one hand and historical studies on the other can therefore foster an improved understanding of European issues.
