一个硬币的两面：欧元图像折射的欧盟认同问题.pdfVIP

摘 要 欧洲一体化是 20 世纪中后期世界政治最重要的命题之一，而欧洲单一货币 ——欧元，被视作经济一体化最成功的产物。关于欧元的研究多集中与经济领 域，但由于在自然货币历史中货币与主权国家认同之间天然的相关性，欧元的 产生就必然与欧盟、成员国与欧元区人民对其价值意义的塑造相联系。本文通 过对一个硬币两面的历史回顾——经济与政治历史的解读与文化史的解读，试 图分析欧元作为人造货币产生时，独特的政治价值塑造过程。在对欧元的分析 过程中，本文采用欧洲央行在命名、设计竞赛与发行宣传的大量文献作为内容 分析的研究对象，以此揭示货币与政治认同之间的理论关系。本文认为，现代 货币的认同特点并非以政治教化而是以政治合法性获取的方式影响人们的政治 认同，因此，精英为欧元赋予价值意义时，既体现了他们对欧盟、欧洲一体化、 欧元的理解，更是以具有合法性、符合社会思潮变迁的手法作为表达。本文通 过对货币图像与欧洲央行文献的分析，认为欧盟的认同建构并非基于一个具体 的欧洲文化基础之上，而是试图以历史的时间观创造一个“想象的共同体”。而 这种认同塑造的决定性力量开始时为民族国家，随后，一个良性的制度将使对 国家的认同转移到超国家机构的内在逻辑中来。 关键词: 欧元；欧盟；欧洲认同 1 Abstract 20 Century witnessed European integration as one of the most important topic for world politics, in which European single currency, the euro, is considered the most successful outcome of economic integration.

However, since currency is naturally linked to national sovereignty in the history of money, euro could also be considered as relevant to value and identity construction both by EU and member states. The coin with two faces, in this thesis, means two separate way on understanding euro: a economic and political history on how it come into being from currency history and world politics structure, and, a culture history on the detailed of how it is designed by individuals. Based on content-analysis on the visual and literature materials of European Central Bank, this thesis try to analyze the relation between currency and identity. What it found is that modern currency, far from constructing identity as a pedagogue mode, always try to be legitimac
