Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Diasporic media and communication practices advance re-imaginings of national and transnational cultural spaces and challenge the boundedness of cultures and belonging within the nation-state. In the case of Europe, the growing diversity of cultural and media repertoires destabilize ideologies of national and cultural integration. As a consequence, living within (European) media cultures and imagining identity and belonging become terrains of cultural contestation. This paper draws from a cross-European mapping of diasporic media in order to show how commonality is imagined, but also disputed and reshaped in media and communication practices. Five themes that relate to diasporic media cultures illustrate the ways European différance is shaped in the engagement with diverse cultural and media projects. Media and communications, as producing images and narratives and as being adopted and appropriated for intercommunity and interspatial connections, play an active part in processes of identification with communities within Europe and beyond it. This discussion concludes with an argument about the possibility for more inclusive cultural politics of difference.
