Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course explores notions of nationhood and the creation of national consciousness, by adopting a comparative and transnational approach to frame the case of Greece. We will draw on a variety of genres – historiography, philosophy of history, fiction, poetry – to highlight major turning points in the construction of Greekness and its others, from the Enlightenment to the late twentieth century. The course’s aims include understanding of notions of cultural transfer, of collective memory, and of various ways of writing history.
