This article recognizes the discourse of Philotimo as a prevalent mode of the diaspora’s representation of national identity in the context of the Greek debt crisis. It shows how this narrative adheres to the cultural technologies of nation branding to establish a positive Greek self-representation and in so doing, countering the crisis-related international devaluation of the national image. This cultural rehabilitation functions as a mode of governmentality: it seeks to shape the global perception of Greece and Greek identity for several interrelated purposes. First, in endowing value to Greek identity, it aims to restore national credibility and in turn cast Greece as an attractive destination for foreign investments. In this capacity, the narrative links national culture with global capitalism. Second, in redeeming the Greek nation as a moral nation, the branding fosters diaspora solidarity to Greece as a moral imperative. Notably, the purpose of the branding enterprise is not to merely disseminate a favourable image globally, but also to constitute Greek identity in the diaspora and Greece. Operating at the intersection of national, transnational and global processes, the narrative requires analysis that extends beyond the conventional framework of diaspora‐homeland relations. The Greek branding enters a broader politics in which countries deploy their national cultures to position themselves competitively within global capitalism. From this angle, the article identifies an emergent diaspora political form ‐ a partnership between private and civic organizations ‐ which asserts authority to represent Greek identity globally for the purpose of economic, social and cultural gains. It concludes with a reflection about the social and political implications of this branding, as well as the role of scholars who write about this phenomenon, and more broadly about Greek national mythologies.

The article analyses Alexis Alexiou’s thriller Istoria 52 (Tale 52) (2008) in relation to media and academic discourses on fear and safety in the city. The film’s mise-en-scène does not include any shots of the city; however, the off-screen presence of the city is implied as the main driver for the main character’s actions. The film was produced at a time when Athens was undergoing a huge urban regeneration, which remained incomplete, leading to the unwilling coexistence of people from different walks of life. The article offers an analysis of the film’s narrative and, in particular, its spatial dimension, placing it in the context of the contemporaneous urban condition of the Greek capital, which is implied, but not shown, in the film. I argue that the main character’s disturbed mental state, which drives much of the action in the film, is not just a result of an unbalanced psychology. Rather, his desire for isolation and the hyper-protection of private space are reflections of a conservative view on fear and safety in the city, where urban regeneration strategies are simultaneously the solution and the cause of fear and insecurity, trapping people in an endless closed loop.

The human-scape of Europe has changed irrevocably since the intensification of extractive economies and the wars that they have engendered from the 1990s onwards. Greece, as a country, and Athens as its major city, have been caught in this web off-guard, even though any astute politician could have seen the changes coming. This altered human-scape comprises human subjects involved in a dynamic dialectic of recognition ‐ recognition of the self and the other, and recognition of the self by the self, in the process producing new subjectivities and hardening already existing ones. I am looking at three emblematic points in Athens ‐ Exarcheia, the Athenian Trilogy and Gerani ‐ through the eyes and the words of (primarily) anarchist and leftist activists, subjects who have been at the forefront of resistance both to hegemonic and authoritarian politics since the 1960s and to their extractive economies. Through raw material that I collected in the summer and winter of 2018 I examine the positions taken by these subjects as they try to re-negotiate their politics of recognition in a landscape that is constantly shifting.
