Reading Greek Tragedy with Judith Butler
Considering Butler’s “tragic trilogy”—a set of interventions on Sophocles’ Antigone, Euripides’ Bacchae, and Aeschylus’s Eumenides—this book seeks to understand not just how Butler uses and interprets Greek tragedy, but also how tragedy shapes Butler’s thinking, even when their gaze is directed elsewhere. Through close readings of these tragedies, this book brings to light the tragic quality of Butler’s writing. It shows how Butler’s mode of read…
Part 1
Postsecularism may be seen as an ongoing response of the Counter-Reformation to Protestant secularism. It represents a spiritualist critique of modernity that advocates civic harmony and a nonpolitics of belonging. Yet the ethico-political dilemmas that the baroque church attempted to resolve continue to be dramatized in all their urgency by modern tragedy
Unbuilding the Acropolis in Greek Literature
Despite its eminence as a physical location and imaginary topos, the Acropolis appears very rarely in modern Greek poetry and fiction. When it does, local writers instead of glorifying it, like their foreign counterparts, present it as a haunting and menacing place, and sometimes even wish for its destruction. Thus they question its construction both by nationalism (in support of ethnic continuity) and by Western Hellenism (in support of cultural…
Governance, Hubris, and Justice in Modern Tragedy
Hubris is a notion that has recently acquired special urgency, as it seems to express in the post-communist era the demands of justice during the tragic clash between governance and violence. This ethico-political notion deserves to be studied not only in ancient writings but in modern drama and thought as well. Nikos Kazantzakis' unduly neglected Capodistria (1944) dramatizes the dilemmas of civic action during the democratic constitution of a p…
Tragedy and Counter-Politics
This article discusses aesthetic counter-politics in the early 20th century through an examination of the idea of tragedy in culture and metaphysics
Syncretism as Mixture and as Method
Among the several models in circulation today for the study of socio-cultural admixture, syncretism, although relatively neglected, remains the most promising one. With its rich history of meanings and debates, it offers a broad variety of applications from which Modern Greek can greatly benefit. This paper defines syncretism as the agonistic yet symbiotic coexistence of incompatible elements from diverse traditions, describes its purview, and ex…

Justice and Good Governance
A reading of Solon's elegy to eunomia through Castoriadis's seminal theory of autonomy as the explicit and reflective self-institution of society can elucidate the question of what constitutes sound governance. Solon proposes that the dignified realm of mortal life is the ethos of citizenship in a political state. Accordingly, this regime, which relies on intrinsic justification, needs to be understood in ethico-political terms. Its inherent ordi…

The Rise of Eurocentrism
Literature as National Institution
This book examines how the practices of criticism establish a particular domain of knowledge, the truth of literature. As a discussion of the ideology and politics of literary knowledge, it concentrates on constitutive elements of its production: the intertextuality of writing, the mediatedness of understanding, the formative role of reading expectations, the enabling presence of relevant literacy, the conditioning horizon of expectations, and th…
The Text and Its Margins
Encountering the Epistemological Challenge or, beyond Humanism
Just as any act of periodization periodizes the person doing the periodizing, so also, categorization politically categorizes the person categorizing. (Ryan 1982: 102) It has been a common assumption that the great number of existing Histories of Modern Greek Literature reflects the growing maturity and sophistication of Greek literary studies. Specialists in the field argue that the variety of approaches and perspectives used in these surveys, w…
