The Greek civil war as cultural trauma
Abstract
Based both on desk and field qualitative research, this paper attempts to demonstrate when and how the Greek civil war was instituted as a ‘cultural trauma’. A cultural trauma is not a state of affairs but an open and adversarial process of social negotiation over the meaning, the public representation and memorization of past painful events. These events are given meaning by various agents of the public sphere (intellectuals, career groups, the media etc) viewed by large segments of society7 or the entire social body as humiliating, inappropriate, and unjust.
