  • Recognition

    Neni PanourgiáARTICLEJournal of Greek Media & Culture2019

    The human-scape of Europe has changed irrevocably since the intensification of extractive economies and the wars that they have engendered from the 1990s onwards. Greece, as a country, and Athens as its major city, have been caught in this web off-guard, even though any astute politician could have seen the changes coming.

Lauria-Perricelli has interrogated the political labor that produced The People of Puerto-Rico while he has recognized and acknowledged the importance of the work for anthropology. Although this dialectic is a challenging one, I maintain that it is equally fertile. It is a dialectic, ho…

    Frazer as (1) a slightly later Bachofen (both retranslated Pausanias, Frazer correcting Bachofen's version) or (2) a considerably earlier Benjamin.Much as Benjamin's imaginative excursions among modernity's ''ruins'' (via the work of litterateurs) recalled the ''ancient labyrinths that Pausanias had entered,'' so did Frazer's forays among primitivity's ''ruins'' (via the work of ethnographers).Boon engages the affinities adhering Bachofen, Frazer…
