Aesthetics, Politics and the ‘Long 1960s’: Rethinking Student Radicalism in the Colonels’ Greece.
Kostis Kornetis (New York University)
This talk traces the impact of student dissent during the "long 1960s" in Greece. It explores the cultural as well as ideological protest of Greek student activists against the Colonels' regime (1967-74), illustrating how these “children of the dictatorship” re-appropriated indigenous tradition and mimicked foreign models of resistance. It further examines how the students’ social and political practices became a major source of pressure on the Colonels’ regime, greatly contributing to the total reshaping of Greek political culture in the following decades.

Monday 26 January, 17.30-18.30
Greece will decide the future of Europe: the recontextualisation of the Greek national elections in a British broadsheet
Council Room (K2.29), King’s Building, Strand Campus, King’s College London
http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/ahri/eventrecords/2014-2015/CHS/greekelections.aspx
Sofia Lampropoulou (University of Liverpool) will argue that a polarised image of crisis was constructed and that the framing of the Greek elections in a particular broadsheet resulted in double-voicing that positioned Greece as either dependent on or independent from Europe. Part of the Modern Greek seminar series.
