Contemporary history: The growth of a field in Greece since 1974
This paper seeks to synthesize fifty years of academic historical publishing since 1974. It argues that the advent of democracy in Greece anticipated three waves of historiographic production: one immediately following the Junta's collapse in 1974 up to the 1990s; a second from the late 1990s to the 2010s; and one since then until the present

The Southern European Transitions to Democracy: A Historiographical Introduction
This text serves as an introduction to the dossier 50 years of Scholarship on the Southern European Democratic Transitions: A Comparative Approach which aims to compare and contrast these processes in Greece, Portugal and Spain, as they unfolded during the 1970s and beyond. Our starting point is that the three Transitions were conceptually linked from the beginning as the vanguard of Huntington’s famous “third wave” of democratic transitions, but…
The Memory of Southern European Dictatorships in Popular TV Shows
Ever since the ground-breaking historical mini-series Holocaust (1978), television has proven to play a major role in structuring the collective memory about the past. 1 This medium has, moreover, displayed a capacity to trigger a collective rendering of, and coming to terms with, painful, hidden or forgotten aspects of the past. Media specialist Garry R. Edgerton has even argued that ‘television is the principal means by which most people learn …
Children of the Dictatorship: Student Resistance, Cultural Politics and the 'Long 1960s' in Greece
Putting Greece back on the cultural and political map of the "Long 1960s," this book traces the dissent and activism of anti-regime students during the dictatorship of the Colonels (1967-74). It explores the cultural as well as ideological protest of Greek student activists, illustrating how these "children of the dictatorship" managed to re-appropriate indigenous folk tradition for their "progressive" purposes and how their transnational exchang…
Rebel code? The transnational imaginary of ‘armed struggle’ in the fall of Southern European dictatorships
This article focuses on armed organizations of the extreme left during and after the fall of Southern European dictatorships in the mid-1970s. It explores the transnational connections between revolutionary terrorist organizations of diverse background in Spain, Portugal, and Greece, looking at the ways in which political violence and its semantics ‘travelled’ across borders and beyond national characteristics and specificities. The article explo…
Cultural Resistances in Post-Authoritarian Greece: Protesting the Turkish Invasion of Cyprus in 1974
The July 1974 invasion of Cyprus by Turkey caught the Greek Colonels (1967–74) off guard, as they proved entirely incapable of responding to the casus belli, partly provoked by their own actions. Greece remained technically in the state of military mobilisation for about four months and with the democratic transition well underway. This article catalogues the ways in which this conflict mobilised Greek civil society in unprecedented ways. Using o…

Projections Onto the Past: Memories of Democratization in Spain, Greece, and Portugal During the Great Recession
This article engages the argument that the 2008–2009 Great Recession forced a revisiting of the period of transitions in Spain, Greece, and Portugal as “political masterpieces,” especially among a younger generation of activists. It argues that this radical reevaluation turned the conflicting generational recollections of the past into pivotal components of present political contestation. Moreover, it shows how the redeeming power of the transiti…

The revolution before the revolution. Late authoritarianism and student protest in Portugal by Guya Accornero
Until very recently, the student movement under the Salazar and Caetano regimes in Portugal was a seriously understudied phenomenon by experts and an obscure subject for the general reader. While s
Grecia antes y después del referéndum: Los niños mimados de la vieja Europa
Este artículo se centra en cómo la juventud ha sido considerada un poderoso elemento dentro de la cultura política griega desde los años setenta. Contempla, en particular, cómo el papel de los jóvenes ha sido ensalzado o demonizado visto, bien como una fuerza orientadora (por ejemplo, el movimiento estudiantil de 1973), bien como puramente destructivo para la sociedad griega (por ejemplo, durante las revueltas de 2008). El artículo se concentra e…
Consumption and Gender in Southern Europe Since the Long 1960s
Consumption and Gender in Southern Europe since the Long 1960s offers an in-depth analysis of the relationship between gender and contemporary consumer cultures in post-authoritarian Southern European societies. The book sees a diverse group of international scholars from across the social sciences draw on 14 original case studies to explore the social and cultural changes that have taken place in Spain, Portugal and Greece since the 1960s. This …
Introduction: The end of a parable? Unsettling the transitology model in the age of crisis
This volume brings together scholars from the fields of history, political science, political economy, historical sociology and cultural studies, to comment on the theoretical and empirical unsettling of democratic transitions at the time of the economic crisis. The volume links together transitions in time and space, reappraising the democratic processes in Southern Europe in the mid-1970s, the post-1989 transformations in Eastern Europe, the ef…
Cuban Europe’? Greek and Iberian tiersmondisme in the ‘Long 1960s’
This article addresses the ways in which the Third World emerged as a new referent in Greece and Spain in the ‘long 1960s'. It shows how ‘Thirdworldism’ emerged out of growing dissatisfaction with the Old Left’s defeatism and the ways in which, by way of the Cuban and Vietnamese example, radicals started to conceive their countries as US colonies. It also compares the ways in which Greek and Iberian Jacobins – some of whom came together in Paris …
Is there a future in this past?” Analyzing 15M's intricate relation to the Transición
The current economic recession in Spain prompted a need to reassess post-authoritarian phenomena, as in moments of deep social, political and economic crisis the recent past tends to become an issue of contention. A key question of the indignados' self-representation and understanding of self revolves around their relation to the past and, in particular, the transition to democracy. The present paper aims to analyze how these social activists per…
Let's get laid because it's the end of the world!’: Sexuality, gender and the Spanish Left in late Francoism and the Transición
This article sets out to look at the ways in which gender relations and sexuality became politicised over time and especially during the 'long 1960s' in Spain during what is often called 'late Francoism'. It analyses the gradual change to more liberal mores that coincided with the so-called apertura, or opening-up of the regime, that began in the early 1960s and was intensified by the 1970s. The way in which progressive students – the so-called p…
From politics to nostalgia – and back to politics: Tracing the shifts in the filmic depiction of the Greek 'long 1960s' over time
A number of Greek feature films in the 1990s and early 2000s – from End of an Era to Uranya – created a standard depiction of the Colonels’ dictatorship as an era filled with bittersweet adolescent memories. The Comedy of the Junta: The Light Side of a Dark Era , a recent documentary produced in April 2010 by Elias Kanellis, presented it as a laughable farce. More importantly, even, this period was treated as distant and definitely over. Almost f…

Reconsidering Social Movements, 'Moments of Change' and Theoretical Framing Over Time
This article focuses on three separate "moments of change" - 1968, 1989 and 2011 – in order to trace the changes in the way in which social movements were theoretically framed on a research level ever since the 1960s. Rather than focusing on the real or imaginary connections that activists often create with the contestatory past – or the rejection thereof – it demonstrates the ways in which those moments were theorised and the genealogies that we…
