It was since a time that also the European Central Bank should
have accepted the objective need to grant more space, on Europe’s official documents, to cultural,
emotional and mithic, elements.
In the new “Europa” series of Euro bills, the
watermark will include the image of the mythic Europe,taken from a Campanian vase.
Among the “original sins” of Europe, we must
account that “Elusion of culture”, which had been at the origin of the Diktat
of the Ministries of Culture of the Council of Europe, issued in Blois, whereby
they forbade member states to present, in ministerial programs, the birth of Europe as a long
term phaenomenon, hence, a cultural one.
The "infamous" Huntington, who is known worldwide ,
unfortunately, only for his theory of the Clash of Civilisations, had criticized
the critics of Identity, citing the case of a famous Jewish colleague, who, in
a first time, published a book for criticizing the idea of Identity, and, later
on, another book about Jewish Identity. On the comntray, a concrete reaction
to the crisis of Europe could only take place via the re-discobvery of European Identity,
to be understood as a “thick” cultural identity.
Certainly, this “struggle against identity” has a “noble” background in the Millenaristic prophets of “the End of Man”. Identity is confused, according to these ideologues, with Original Sin. Thinking of myself as something different from the rest of the world would be, according to them,precisely that which has originated Evil in the World. Only the sacrifice of Identity would allow to reconstitute the Paradise Lost, where neither scissure, nor contradiction, would survive.

Between these two apparently opposite points of
view (from one side, the “black-and-white” view of those ideologues, and, from the other, actual
reality), there are millenaries of historical experiences, who have tought us
that, inasfar as we give up our identity,
we open the way to the most inacceptable violence from the side of Power.
As a consequence, “Identity” remains, for us, a bulwark of
Liberty.
