21世纪初在希腊出现的关于志愿服务和民间社会的说法，与那个时代希腊社会的现代化和欧洲化愿景相呼应。公共话语以及国家和欧盟的政策支持一种社会性模式，其中包括志愿服务，并与新的欧洲和希腊公民的生产有关。公共社会性的形式，如志愿协会，因此构成了产生主题的实验室。社会性的改革和志愿服务的发明被嵌入到各种文明项目中。与此同时，某种程度上的“缺乏志愿精神”被广泛归因于对希腊特殊性的普遍理解。本文提出了另一种观点，认为新的和旧的形式的公共社会性在其文化的形成，在当代危机重重的希腊的团结举措的蓬勃发展不被认为是一个悖论，而是社会及其强大的政治内容的重新配置的表达。
Narratives of volunteerism and civil society that emerged in Greece in the beginning of the twenty-first century echoed the modernization and Europeanization visions of Greek society that were proliferating in that era. Public discourses as well as state and EU policies endorsed a model of sociality that included volunteerism and was associated with the production of the new European and Greek citizen. Forms of public sociality, such as voluntary associations, thus constituted laboratories that produced subjects. The reformation of sociality and the invention of volunteerism were embedded in various civilizing projects. At the same time, a certain “lack of volunteerism” was broadly attributed to a general understanding of Greek particularity. This article proposes an alternate perspective that considers new and older forms of public sociality in relation to their cultural formation, where the flourishing of solidarity initiatives in contemporary crisis-ridden Greece is not considered a paradox, but rather the expression of the reconfiguration of the social and its potent political content.
