🗣️ We're pleased to share this wide-ranging interview with 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘳 𝘌𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 Dimitris Tziovas, on Greece’s cultural evolution since the Metapolitefsi — from the changing image of Greece abroad and the exploration of our national identity, to the role of literature, cinema, and the diaspora in shaping modern narratives.

Professor Tziovas also breaks down why Greece’s story can't be told through simple binaries—and suggests a richer, hybrid perspective instead.
