Chasing the Past: Geopolitics of Memory on the Margins of Modern Greece (Provence University Press) - Softcover
Synopsis
In 2008 Greece became the centre of European current affairs due to the financial crisis that has affected its public finances. The situation shook the whole of the old continent by threatening the stability of the European Union s monetary system and with it the economies of all the member countries. While the development of what is known as the 'sovereign debt crisis' is not country-specific, the reforms that followed in Greece resulted in very significant improverishment of large parts of the population. Sintès situates the recent history of Greece leading up to its financial crisis, and the ensuing strikes, protests and political crisis, in the context, alongside theoretical work by scholars such as Jean-Loup Amselle and Arjun Appadurai. Addressing questions such as national identity, migration, the 'production of locality' and the future of the nation state through a series of case studies, Chasing the past: rethinking places on the margins of Greece will be essential reading for those seeking a fresh perspective on the crises affecting contemporary Europe.

Paperback. Condition: New. Since 2008, Greece has been at the centre of European current affairs due to the financial and economic crisis. However, it should not be forgotten that before the current crisis the political upheavals of the early 1990s and the collapse of Marxist-inspired regimes had already radically transformed the face of the country. These transformations have been seen as a return of the Balkans' question, raising issues of border disputes and migration, minorities and national inclusion. They have had far-reaching consequences on the relations between Greek society and its peripheries, and what some have deemed to be its destabilising diversity. In this context, the material presented in this book examines the strengthening of discourses of belonging which draw legitimacy from a glorification of the past and tradition. The fieldwork carried out over the past 15 years on the fringes of Greece has focused on groups who were stigmatised and distanced from standard definitions of Greekness. It provides an original perspective on the changes that the country has undergone in recent decades. The question of the nation-state's future is raised through close observation on the local scale, leading to a debate about the relationship between areal and reticular territory within the framework of globalisation. This book also aims to provide non-Francophone readers with access to research carried out on these issues in France, shifting the focus of Balkan Anglophone specialists for whom French publications remain a distant province.
