Abstract

<jats:p xml:lang="en">This book presents a qualitative study of the European Parliament's memory politics, integrating EU studies and memory studies through a sociological, actor-centred approach. At the theoretical level, it develops original conceptual tools – most notably that of "intra-institutional memory activism" – through a critical literature review. Combining fieldwork, semi-structured interviews, and document collection, the book reconstructs the evolution of EU memory politics, highlighting their main discursive shifts. Focusing on the 9th legislature of the EP, it analyses the forms of memory entrepreneurship underlying these transformations, emphasising the role of informal political networks and the contribution of non-political actors, such as expert officials.</jats:p>
