Nostalgia and the Greek Arcade Museum (GAM), Athens, 2024
Nostalgic nation
This article examines how nostalgia for the late twentieth century has marked Greece since the 2010s. The analysis merges invisible observation and semiotic analysis to scrutinize nostalgic social groups on Facebook and brings the findings into dialog with interviews with creators of nostalgic places. Nostalgia is approached as an emotion that revolves around idealized utopias founded upon simplicity and togetherness in Greek society. Finally, th…
Nostalgia and cultural creativity
This article explores how nostalgia may represent a culturally creative force in contemporary cities by examining the case of Athens. Since the beginning of the economic crisis of the 2010s, Greece has witnessed a nostalgic wave looking back to the late 20th century. A prominent expression of this nostalgia was the creation of nostalgic groups on Facebook that expressed yearning for a better and bygone past. Simultaneously, nostalgic locations fl…
Nostalgia as a Critique of Europe
The last 15 years have witnessed a wave of nostalgia for the recent past in Greece. This nostalgia is boosted by social media, especially Facebook, and revolves around the rising counsumer standards that the country experiences in the first three decades after its entry in the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1981. Drawing on media material and surveys, this article discusses this phenomenon, focusing on whether this nostalgia represents a cu…
Anxiety and Post‐Authoritarian Societies
This article discusses anxiety as an analytical and methodological concept in the investigation of post‐authoritarian societies, drawing on three well‐being‐focused anxieties that marked Greece in the 1980s: first, the degradation of the urban environment, especially in Athens; second, the technologisation of everyday life, most notably the popularisation of information technology; and third, the impact of novel, consumption‐focused media, partic…
On 80stalgia
Nostalgia for the 1980s, or 80stalgia, is a global phenomenon. This article explores the phenomenon in Greece and approaches 80stalgia as a cultural trend that marks media and pop culture. It combines digital ethnography through invisible observation (especially using Facebook, a social medium that favours nostalgic communities) and historicised content analysis to analyse 80stalgia in its interrelation with politics, and approaches it as having …

Affluent and Tender Online”

Through a digital observation of five celebrities’ Instagram activities that identified with the image of family man and affectionate father, the article argues that self-representations of affluent and involved masculinity and fatherhood represent a popular media trend. The article analyzes such self-representations as the outcome of historical tr…
The Rebellious 1960s via the Prosperous 1990s
This article explores the movie Τέλος εποχής (End of an Era) by Antonis Kokkinos (1994), a key film in the regeneration of Greek cinema in the mid-late 1990s. The film constitutes a form of public history construing and problematizing relations between the images and the historical past, exploring the dictatorship (1967–74) through the consumer-oriented values of the 1990s. By scrutinizing historical (dis)continuities (similarities, differences, …

Online memories of 1980s–2000s lifestyle and consumption politics in Greece during the current economic crisis (2009–2015)
Lifestyle media very successfully promoted (conspicuous) consumption as a major referent in the social and cultural convergence between Greece and Western Europe between the mid-1980s and the late 2000s. Perceiving the Internet as a crucial component of the contemporary public sphere where testimonial cultures abound, this article explores how during the current economic crisis particular communities of web users dealt with the breakdown of previ…

Gender and sexuality in three late-1980s Greek lifestyle magazines
This article examines the representational politics of gender and sexuality in Playboy , Status and Click , three Greek lifestyle magazines of the late 1980s. Despite differences in representation, politics, impact and audience demographics, these magazines’ politics towards gender and sexuality shared noticeable similarities. Challenging the view that lifestyle magazines one-dimensionally advocated patriarchy, the article argues that their posit…
