Acts of citizenship in present-day Greece
How do communities (fully fledged, active or imagined) perform citizenship? How do recent policies on urban planning and economic development in the city impact public space as the very site where citizenship is claimed, performed and experienced? What is the relationship between practices of memory (from personal memory, to collective and institutional) and acts of citizenship? How does the memory and the archivization of community life (in othe…

Greece and the Global South
This is the introduction to the special issue "Greece and the South: Grammars of Comparison, Protest, and Futurity," edited by the authors of the introduction
The Economics of Intangible Capital
Intangible assets are a large and growing part of firms' capital stocks. Intangibles are accumulated via investment-foregoing consumption today for output in the future-but they lack a physical presence. Rather than stopping with this "lack," we instead focus on the positive properties of intangibles. Specifically, intangibles must be stored, so characteristics of the storage medium have important implications for their value and use. These prope…
Greek Weird Wave
Examines political engagement in recent films of the Greek New Wave Offers an up to date account of 21st century Greek filmmaking Provides a theoretically informed analysis that proposes new terms and a fresh viewpoint Proposes the Greek Weird Wave as a paradigmatic cinema movement, which points to a much larger development of biopolitical realism in World Cinema Listen to author Dimitris Papanikolaou discuss the book on the Archipelago podcast W…
‘The Lost Highway of Greek Cinema’, cinema screenings and events (2016–2020)
Review of: I Chameni Leoforos tou Ellinikou Cinema (‘The lost highway of Greek cinema’), Afroditi Nikolaidou and Anna Poupou (2019) Athens: Nefeli, 232 pp., ISBN 978-9-60504-238-7, p/bk, €13
Greek Weird Wave
This book is the first to provide a reading of the recent ‘Weird’ or ‘New Wave’ of Greek cinema, both through the concept of biopolitics and in the context of contemporary World Cinema politics, aesthetics, as well as production and circulation strategies. Its main aim is to show the ways in which, since the beginning of the 21 st century, cinema and other cultural forms in Greece have responded to a sense of Crisis and an ever expansive manageme…
Left Behind
We develop a general equilibrium model of asset prices in which benefits of technological innovation are distributed asymmetrically. Financial market participants do not capture all economic gains from innovation even when they own shares in innovating firms. Such gains accrue partly to the innovators, who cannot sell claims on proceeds from their future ideas. We show how the resulting inequality among agents can give rise to a high risk premium…
Critically queer and haunted
How can one do the history of Modern Greek homosexuality at the present moment, in a country where intersectional precarity, neo-liberal control and proliferating austerity measures ensure that rights and political demands are in jeopardy? How can we historicise the ways in which ethnonationalism and neoconservative rhetoric create a phobic atmosphere, at the very moment when sexual and gender difference become more pronounced and are finally sup…

Technological Innovation, Resource Allocation, and Growth
We propose a new measure of the economic importance of each innovation. Our measure uses newly collected data on patents issued to U.S. firms in the 1926 to 2010 period, combined with the stock market response to news about patents. Our patent-level estimates of private economic value are positively related to the scientific value of these patents, as measured by the number of citations the patent receives in the future. Our new measure is associ…
Cavafy pop
The pensive spectator, the possessive reader and the archive of queer feelings
This article provides a detailed reading of Trojans, the medium-length feature film by Constantine Giannaris on the life and work of C. P. Cavafy, released in 1990. Unlike the conventional life trajectory proposed by the more popular biopic Kavafis (Yannis Smaragdis, 1996), Giannaris’s film presents the telling of a life of C. P. Cavafy as a radical identity quest. It is a cinematic work as much about the past as it is about the present, as much …
Days of those made like me
This article begins with a comparison between the anonymous Roman d’un inverti (1894/5) and Cavafy’s poem ‘Na μείνει’, and then proceeds to read Cavafy’s private notes and key erotic poems in the context of late nineteenth- and twentieth-century discourses about non-normative sexuality. During that period, and in a discursive domain dominated by sexological case studies, the deviant sexual life story was published in order to titillate, check, co…
Investment Shocks and Asset Prices
I explore the implications for asset prices and macroeconomic dynamics of shocks that improve real investment opportunities and thus affect the representative household's marginal utility. These investment shocks generate differences in risk premia due to their heterogeneous impact on firms: they benefit firms producing investment relative to firms producing consumption goods and increase the value of growth opportunities relative to the value of…

Demetrios Capetanakis
The homosexual undertones of Demetrios Capetanakis’s English writings become evident when the work is seen in the context of the British literary circle that was instrumental in its publication. However, reading Capetanakis’s poems as a ‘coming out’ narrative leads us to assess the mismatching interpretations of gender and sexuality in Greece and the West and the larger complications of identity and identifications. It is suggested that, in Capet…
