The article discusses the concepts of Europeanness and of European identity. In analyzing these phenomena, it makes the case for adopting a social constructivist approach. It stresses the fact that for a long time, Europeanness has remained a rather rare form of identification. Because of its hybrid and polysemic meanings, Europe should not be too readily identified with the European Union. Migration is a particularly insightful lens for the study of Europeanness in its historical and contemporary dimensions, highlighting intercultural encounters that have played a crucial role in turning Europe into a relevant point of reference.
