“…Of course this line of thought is itself established in the belief that there is a continuous and unbreakable historical line between Classical and Modern Greece through the Byzantine Empire. For more about this particular thought see the work of several anthropologists, see Herzfeld (1987Herzfeld ( , 1997; Just (1989); Stewart (19940;Faubion (1993); Karakasidou (1997); Sutton (1998);Hirschon (2000); Yalouri (2001); Brown & Hamilakis (2003);Theodossopulos (2007). 6 The importance of the past for the present and vice versa is not of course peculiar to the Greeks.…”

The poetics of anti-Americanism in Greece: rhetoric, agency and local meaning Elisabeth Kirtsoglou & Dimitrios TheodossopoulosAbstract: In this article, we examine the content and rationale of anti-Americanism in Greece, drawing ethnographic information from two urban centres, Patras and Volos. We pay special attention to the conspiracy prone attributes of Greek anti-American rhetoric, and, instead of simply dismissing it, or seeing it primarily as a manifestation of nationalist thinking, we attempt to unpack the threads of meaning that make it so appealing in local contexts. We look in particular at the aetiology of blame within this particular discourse and try to explain the specific readings of history and politics that make it significant in local contexts. We argue that Greek anti-Americanism has an empowering potential for local actors, as it provides them with a certain degree of discursive agency over wider political processes that are beyond their immediate control.

“…This is the history of wars and conflict they have been taught at school, the content of which is taken to have factual value. As several anthropologists have underlined, in Greece "notions of history are directly tied to unquestioned assumptions about Greek identity" (Sutton, 1998: 120), naturalized visions of the nation (Herzfeld, 1997), "the purity" of Greek blood and everlasting cultural continuities (Just, 1989;Faubion, 1993;Stewart, 1994;Hirschon, 2000;also Herzfeld 1982also Herzfeld , 1987.…”

The Turks and Their Nation in the Worldview of Greeks in Patras

Theodossopoulos¹

History and Anthropology

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this article, the inhabitants of Patras, a town in Peloponnese, discuss their views about the Turks, the most representative ethnic Other in Greece. They remember their childhood attitudes towards the Turks and compare them to the opinions they currently hold. In most cases they feel the need to rationalize their mistrust towards the state of Turkey and their use of overtly negative stereotypes to describe its people. They even appear willing to critically re-evaluate the standard versions of nationalist discourse that inform their views about the Turks. Nevertheless, their attempts to reconsider conventional beliefs about Turkey relies on nationalist readings of history and often results in the unintentional recycling of older stereotypes and the perpetuation of mistrust towards the ethnic Other.
