The contributions shed light on the subject from different perspectives, including political science, history of ideas, sociology, cultural studies, and art criticism. In the first part, the book provides a historical review with a focus on philhellenism, perceptions of antiquity and modernity, and the evolution of Greece as an idea. The second part looks at the current Greek crisis and analyses ideological, political and cultural aspects and stereotypes that contributed to the formation of contemporary Greek culture. The third and final part discusses notions such as aestheticism, idealism and pragmaticism, and deconstructs narrations of Greece through artistic media, such as films and exhibitions, which present a new oriental Utopia.

Sotiropoulos is Associate Professor of Contemporary History & Politics at the University of Peloponnese, Greece, and Editor-in-Chief of the Nea Hestia journal. 410 0$aReform and Transition in the Mediterranean,$x2945-6428 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aPolitical Sociology 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 14$aPolitical History. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 676 $a306.201 676 $a320.94950905 702 $aPanagiotopoulos$b Panayis$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSotiropoulos$b Dimitris P.$f1975-$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910369926503321 996 $aPolitical and Cultural Aspects of Greek Exoticism$92538853 997 $aUNINA
