  • Revolt and Crisis in Greece
    REVOLT AND CRISIS IN GREECE BETWEEN A PRESENT YET TO PASS AND A FUTURE STILL TO COME How does a revolt come about and what does it leave behind? What impact does it have on those who participate in it and those who simply watch it? Is the Greek revolt of December 2008 confined to the shores of the Mediterranean, or are there lessons we can bring to bear on social action around the globe? Revolt and Crisis in Greece: Between a Present Yet to Pass and a Future Still to Come is a collective attempt to grapple with these questions. A collaboration between anarchist publishing collectives Occupied London and AK Press, this timely new volume traces Greece’s long moment of transition from the revolt of 2008 to the economic crisis that followed. In its twenty chapters, authors from around the world—including those on the ground in Greece—analyse how December became possible, exploring its legacies and the position of the social antagonist movement in face of the economic crisis and the arrival of the International Monetary Fund. In the essays collected here, over two dozen writers offer historical analysis of the factors that gave birth to December and the potentialities it has opened up in face of the capitalist crisis. Yet the book also highlights the dilemmas the antagonist movement has been faced with since: the book is an open question and a call to the global antagonist movement, and its allies around the world, to radically rethink and redefine our tactics in a rapidly changing landscape where crises and potentialities are engaged in a fierce battle with an uncertain outcome.

  • Cult and Crisis: a GIS Approach to the Sacred Landscape of Hellenistic Attica
    Open Archaeology 2019; 5: 383–395 Original Study Constanze Graml*, Manuel Hunziker, Katharina Vukadin Cult and Crisis: A GIS Approach to the Sacred Landscape of Hellenistic Attica https://doi.org/10.1515/opar-2019-0024 Received February 12, 2019; accepted June 18, 2019 Abstract: From a political point of view, 3rd century BCE Athens represents a shattered unity. Parts of the Athenian countryside and even the city itself were occupied by foreign troops. This loss of control affected the city’s political, economic, social, cultural, and religious life. Since Cleisthenic times, relations between political units and religious communities had become institutionalised through specific cults. Other cult places of relevance to the larger community and therefore with a catchment area that exceeded a deme, e.g. Eleusis, were also affected, as they lay within the occupied territories. This partial inaccessibility of the countryside risked the disruption of religious duties. The project “Cult and Crisis: The Sacred Landscape of Attica and its Correlation to Political Topography” aims to identify potentially affected cult places with no limitations regarding their possible catchment area by analysing their placement in relation to foreign military bases. Alterations in cult practice can plausibly be detected in changes ranging from cessation to the rerouting of ritual movement or the establishment of substitute cult places. As these “solutions” rarely feature in written sources, our GIS-based approach will focus on material remains from sanctuaries. Although an object’s use for ritual practice cannot be deduced with certainty, the distribution of finds certainly attests to human activity. This contribution presents a trial of this approach, taking the Sounion area as its case study.

  • Athens Biennale 2015 ― 2017 OMONOIA) and Will Take Place at the Onassis Cultural Centre - Athens (27 May) and at Bageion (28 May)
    Athens Biennale 2015 ― 2017 Synapse 2: Rethinking Institutional Critique – Α View from the South INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT Ιn this Summit, we explore the role of art institutions and cultural organisations, as well as that of the bio-poli- tics and political economy of late capitalism. In the current context of global dispossession, austerity, inequality, indebtedness, conspicuous consumption, zero hour work, extreme financialisation and privatisation of life, what kind of institutions should art biennials be? Where should they look for their public and political constituen- cies? What kind of practices should they nurture? What forms of sociability, relationality and political imagi- naries should they foster? Where shall they draw the boundaries, if any, between their inside and their outside? We invited leading international scholars, artists, activists and cultural organisations to think together new insti- tutional formats, value forms and ways of working together by embracing the perspective of Europe’s south. This south is not a fixed locality, but a broad geopolitical formation that includes the Middle East and Eastern Europe and exists outside Europe’s centre and from which we ask the speakers to situate themselves and find a common vocabulary as a new point of departure. Co-programmed by Massimiliano Mollona and Stephanie Bailey The Athens Biennale 2015 – 2017 OMONOIA continues its creative collaboration with the National Theatre of Greece, which hosts the Summit of Synapse 2 on Friday April 15th at the New Rex.
