Open Seminar: Multiple Pasts/Alternative Futures: Rethinking ‘Greek’ Identity after AusterityLocation: Greek Centre, Mezzanine, 168 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne |
||
SynopsisThe economically catastrophic and political turbulent circumstances both of the recent past and foreseeable future may not seem like the best time for Greeks to reconsider questions of Greekhistory and Greek identity; however, paradoxically, there may be no better time to think about what kind of future Greeks want for themselves beyond an escape from the cruel and punitive experiences of externally imposed austerity. What kind of society should a future Greek society aim to become, particularly when the European project has itself been put into question? It may be that there is an opportunity here for Greece to lead Europe into a less fearful, more open-armed embrace of its multiple histories and identities. |
