This paper aims to bring literature on stigma in conversation with Gramsci's theory of hegemony and to examine the production of territorial stigmatisation beyond the urban sphere, in a local context of socio-spatial struggle for land. I draw on a rich urban geographical scholarship on territorial stigma to examine how regional taint, built around institutional abandonment and the construct of 'remoteness', is mobilised to help legitimise and impose large-scale energy and tourism investments as a form of territorial 'common sense' in Eastern Crete's area of Sitia. The paper aims to contribute to the rich body of literature on territorial stigmatisation twofold: by examining the analytical usefulness of the concept to the study of the marginalisation of peripheral regions and the subsequent neoliberal drive for their 're-development' at all costs; and, drawing on Gramsci's theory of hegemony, by taking a close, critical sociological look at the production and internalisation of stigma within a local context of socio-spatial conflict and struggle
