在过去的二十年里，种族研究变得特别流行。本文探讨了一些未经检验的假设有关古代种族，并指出了现代研究的某些重要盲点，特别是乔纳森霍尔的贡献的辩论。希腊历史学家几乎没有花时间思考种族概念适用的群体：通过共同探索城邦、区域、跨区域和泛希腊种族之间的相似性和差异，出现了一些令人震惊的结论。此外，希腊历史学家几乎没有花时间解释为什么种族概念比国籍概念更好。但是，种族概念往往忽略了一个有组织的社区及其在形成身份方面的共同活动的问题，从而产生了重大后果。我没有像霍尔那样对种族进行本质主义定义，而是勾画了一个替代框架，该框架不是将种族视为静态实体，而是将其视为一个开放的过程，在这个过程中，不同的希腊种族在一个范围内发生了不同的变化，范围从集体到集体。一个公共极。
The study of ethnicity has become particularly popular over the last twenty years. This article explores certain unexamined assumptions concerning ancient ethnicity and points out certain important blind spots of modern research, focusing in particular on Jonathan Hall's contributions to the debate. Greek historians have devoted little time to thinking about the groups to which the concept of ethnicity is applicable: by exploring together the similarities and differences betweenpoleis, regional, trans-regional, and Panhellenic ethnicities, some startling conclusions emerge. Furthermore, Greek historians have devoted little time to explaining why the concept of ethnicity is a better conceptual tool than that of nationality. But the concept of ethnicity tends to elide the question of an organised community and its shared activities in the formation of identity, with major resulting consequences. Instead of an essentialist definition of ethnicity, like that of Hall, I sketch an alternative framework that approaches ethnicity not as a static entity but as an open-endedprocess, in which the diverse Greek ethnicities moved variously within a spectrum, ranging between a collective and a communal pole.
