Abstract:

 

This article briefly explores the parameters of the process of Greek national identification and the  practice of self-identification in specific social, political and global conditions. The construction of a  history of Greek national identity is the construction of a meaningful universe of events and  narratives, for a collectively defined subject. What has supposedly occurred in the past produces a  relation between ‘what came before’ and ‘what is’. Such a process can be interpreted as a dialogue  between past and present. A dialogue which, employing the Russian literary theorist Mikhail  Bakhtin’s perspective, achieves a voice and point or points of view. An implicit dialogue, no less, of  responses to actual, imagined or potential global forces. Such a dialogue can be understood at the  level of structural conditions in which shifting identities are identified, assimilated, marginalised or  rejected.
