“…Yet while their political profile most often lies somewhere on the spectrum of the Left, solidarity networks focus less on explicit political mobilisation and more on addressing basic, often urgent, human needs. Rakopoulos () characterises solidarity networks as ‘hidden’ forms of welfare, offering services outside or alongside state‐based social support. Solidarity initiatives are also substantively different from NGOs and non‐profits, which also provide extra‐state services.…”

“…Yet while their political profile most often lies somewhere on the spectrum of the Left, solidarity networks focus less on explicit political mobilisation and more on addressing basic, often urgent, human needs.

Works also link the crisis to recession and to conditions disenfranchising groups already on the margins (Alexandrakis ), changing one's attachment to history and place (Knight ; Vournelis ), engendering anxiety regarding one's position in Europe or creating bitterness about a “present becoming damaged future” (Herzfeld ; Kalantzis , ), and securitizing daily life (Dalakoglou ).…”

The present conjuncture produces new things: new experiences of the past as relevant to the present (Kalantzis , ; Knight , ; Vournelis ), novel socialities around “informal economy” (Rakopoulos :88), new cinematic and theatrical spectacles that disturb dominant national narration (Papanikolaou ), new political discourses that deny official affiliation to parties (Yiakoumaki ), new potentials for dissent (Dalakoglou and Vradis ), enhanced imaginings of colonialism and novel experiences of nationhood (Herzfeld ; Kalantzis , ; Knight ), and new possibilities for reclassifying suicides as political acts (Davis :1020; Knight :62). Many authors describe the “new” as building on preexisting attitudes, for instance regarding the past's reworking in the present (cf.…”
