Greece from Junta to Crisis: modernization, transition, diversity
Monday 7 February 2022, 6:00pm to 7:30pm

Join us for this event that will introduce the new book by Dimitris Tziovas, titled 'Greece from Junta to Crisis: modernization, transition, diversity'. The recent economic crisis in Greece has triggered national self-reflection and prompted a re-examination of the political and cultural developments in the country since 1974. While many other books have investigated the politics and economics of this transition, this study turns its attention to the cultural aspects of post-dictatorship Greece. By problematizing the notion of modernization, it analyzes socio-cultural trends in the years between the fall of the junta and the economic crisis, highlighting the growing diversity and cultural ambivalence of Greek society. With its focus on issues such as identity, antiquity, religion, language, literature, media, cinema, youth, gender and sexuality, this study is one of the first to examine cultural trends in Greece over the last fifty years. Aiming for a more nuanced understanding of recent history, it offers a fresh perspective on current problems.
