“…However, there are also many different and conflicting understandings of European memory (Trimçev et al 2020). Scholars, such as Macdonald (2013), Karlsson (2010) or Pérez Baquero (2021), claim that the idea of Europe has been discursively shaped by transnational memories and argue that the European project relies on transnational memories of different historical events, including the Holocaust, which is identified as the event of greatest significance.…”

“…This was particularly true of the new member states from the East. Former communist European countries preferred to emphasise their own suffering under the Soviet yoke(Littoz-Monnet 2012;Leggewie 2011;Trimçev et al 2020). Likewise, the ethically liberal and secular(ist) narrative of EU values incited increasing opposition.…”

“…Actors react to what they see happening abroad, and such diffusion explains in part why memory regimes may change at a moment of potential juncture. Our focus on how claims by various types of actors are mediated in newspapers emphasizes the importance of agency for transnational circulation (Rigney and de Cesari 2014; Wüstenberg and Sierp 2020; Trimçev et al 2020). In recent scholarship, the carriers of transnational diffusion have been the center of attention.…”

What qualifies as a political event is a core question for social and historical research. This article argues that the use of temporal structures in narratives of political and social developments contributes significantly to the making and unmaking of events. We show how arguments that draw upon history play a particularly important role in transforming the everyday unfolding of politics into discernable events with a clear time bracket. Through this lens, we investigate the 2016 Brexit referendum as an event that has triggered extensive debates about both Europe’s experiences of the past and political expectations for its future. Conflicting assessments of history are crucial for understanding how and when Brexit became an event of European significance and why it then ceased to be so. This case also enables us to distinguish more clearly between the agent-centered focus on the event itself, and the analytical ex-post assessment as a critical juncture. Methodologically, the article demonstrates the value of a multi-perspective approach for qualitative analyses with a focus on Brexit narratives articulated across several EU countries and the United Kingdom.
