Abstract:In 1974, democracy was restored in Greece and the state had to shift the boundaries of social and political exclusion. Nevertheless, the first right-wing governments did not accept the Left's symbolic legitimacy and integration into the nation. They refused to recognize the left-wing Resistance, while the Left opposition tried to establish the National Resistance as a central landmark in national history. PASOK's rise to power in 1981 altered the state's policy on the past. They incorporated EAM's legacy into national history, creating a new foundational myth with new silences and new voices. ND began to adopt a more inclusive stance, but when they came to power in 1990 they overhauled the process that had recognized the left-wing Resistance. PASOK's return to power in 1993 did not manage to resolve the many pending issues. Coming to terms with the Greek past was not a straightforward, linear process but rather a long, tangled, and arduous one, the end of which is not yet clear.

Abstract:An analysis of specific types of verbal attacks against Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Alexis Tsipras, New Democracy, and Syriza on Greek Twitter during a 20-month period from 1 January 2019 to 31 August 2020—a period that includes the transfer of power after the Greek general elections of 2019 and the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020—provides interesting insights regarding the levels, framing, and ideological orientation (left-wing vs. right-wing) of online aggression. The contextualization of these attacks within the broader political environment in which they took place makes apparent the most invisible aspect of political violence—namely, symbolic violence.

Abstract:In his essay "Intellectual Geniuses" in Psychological Studies on the Beautiful (1885), Georgios Vizyenos discusses the development of exceptional abilities by analyzing the psychological mechanism of inclination, common to all humans. Deftly displacing the question of genius toward the question of why people are different in the first place, he orchestrates a debate on the ontological definition of the soul, which allows him to criticize the Herbartian model dominant within the nascent field of psychology at the University of Athens. Along with its academic stakes, Vizyenos's reflection on genius has wider implications insofar as it revolves around questions of natural inequality and justice. His essay touches upon one of the core problems of modern capitalist democracies—namely, how to reconcile differences in abilities and talents with the ethical and political principle of equality.
