Abstract

This article examines the narrative framework in European Union (EU) research and innovation projects, focusing on symbolic practices and terminology. The analysis includes over five years of ethnographic research, and 20 European projects funded by Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe, and Erasmus+ programs. It explores different ways project actors internalize and reproduce the EU's symbolic power through its policies, particularly the ambiguous concept of “innovation.” Using Bourdieu's theory of practice, the research highlights the way social structures within the “project field” influence dynamics and outcomes, often resulting in a gap between rhetoric and reality. The study also uncovers broader political and social implications of these practices, calling for critical reflection of their impact. In its conclusion, the authors discuss the challenges of maintaining genuine innovation amidst bureaucratic requirements and the EU's symbolic power, advocating for more nuanced and context-aware project practices.

“假释，假释”：揭示欧盟研究和创新项目的叙事框架

本文考察了欧盟研究和创新项目中的叙事框架，重点关注符号实践和术语。这项分析包括五年多的人种学研究，以及由地平线2020、欧洲地平线和伊拉斯谟+项目资助的20个欧洲项目。它探讨了项目参与者通过其政策，特别是模棱两可的“创新”概念，内化和复制欧盟象征性权力的不同方式。利用布迪厄的实践理论，该研究强调了“项目领域”内的社会结构影响动态和结果的方式，往往导致修辞与现实之间的差距。该研究还揭示了这些做法更广泛的政治和社会影响，呼吁对其影响进行批判性反思。在结论部分，作者讨论了在官僚主义要求和欧盟的象征性权力中保持真正的创新所面临的挑战，倡导更细致入微和情境感知的项目实践。相关文章Kanol， Direnç。2022. 新兴颠覆性技术的叙事策略：欧洲b区块链的案例研究。政治,政策50(5):952-66。https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12492。Matthew C.
