The project sets out to examine how people in different national and cultural contexts engage with contemporary political issues and thereby have their share in shaping European societies and politics in the 21st century. This is done through the prism of an extraordinary aesthetic and social phenomenon that we call the political novel in Europe (or PNE), which is gaining prominence not only in strictly delimited literary circles but in European societies at large. Given this new relevance of political writing, CAPONEU’s goal is to assess the political novel as an important element of the European cultural heritage and as a tool for community building and European advocacy. The consortium brings together an interdisciplinary research team that seeks not only to unpack the rich literary heritage of the 20th century but also (through collaboration with a wide range of actors) to make the PNE experiences relevant to our present. It allows us to understand how perceptions formed by different beliefs, values, traditions, economy, history, culture, age and gender are reflected in the PNE as a specific literary genre, and how and why this genre re-emerges as a social factor today. Thus, not only the representation of beliefs and traditions in the PNE will be analysed, but also the role of the PNE itself in shaping and changing perspectives on the individual, the state, the economy, and especially on Europe’s historical and cultural past. Aware that the European project has been destabilised in recent decades by crises (economic and political crises, migrations, the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change), the question now is how the European heritage of the EPN can become active in strengthening the resilience of European societies to crises. Given the simultaneous resurgence of various forms of populism and/or authoritarianism, a subsequent recession, and, most recently, war with unpredictable consequences, answering this question will be crucial for the future of Europe.

该项目旨在研究不同国家和文化背景下的人们如何参与当代政治问题，从而在塑造 21 世纪的欧洲社会和政治中发挥作用。这是通过我们所观察到的非凡美学和社会现象的棱镜来实现的。鉴于政治写作的这种新的相关性，卡波内乌的目标是将政治小说评估为欧洲政治小说的一个重要元素。欧洲的该联盟汇集了一个跨学科研究团队，不仅致力于挖掘 20 世纪丰富的文学遗产，而且（通过与广泛的参与者合作）使之成为文化遗产。 PNE 经历与我们现在相关，它让我们了解不同信仰、价值观、传统、经济、历史、文化、年龄和性别所形成的观念如何反映在 PNE 作为一种特定的文学体裁中，以及这种体裁如何以及为何被重新定义。 -作为一种社会因素出现因此，今天不仅要分析 PNE 中信仰和传统的表现，还要分析 PNE 本身在塑造和改变对个人、国家、经济，特别是对欧洲历史和文化的看法方面的作用。意识到近几十年来欧洲项目因危机（经济和政治危机、移民、COVID-19 大流行和气候变化）而变得不稳定，现在的问题是 EPN 的欧洲传统如何能够积极增强欧洲的复原力欧洲社会鉴于各种形式的民粹主义和/或威权主义同时复苏、随后的经济衰退，以及最近后果不可预测的战争，回答这个问题对于欧洲的未来至关重要。
