2011年维克托·特纳奖赢家，人文人类学学会2011年埃德蒙·基利图书奖得主，现代希腊研究协会考古学与人类学荣誉奖，2009年散文奖这本书同时讲述了一个故事-或者更确切地说，故事-和一段历史。这些故事是希腊左翼人士作为典型的悲惨人物的故事，因为在1929年至1974年期间，成千上万的希腊持不同政见者被拘留在监狱、流放地和集中营中并受到酷刑。他们有时被关押数十年，在非人的条件下劳作和剥夺。历史是希腊左翼如何被希腊国家构成为危险地带。世纪初制定的立法假定了这一区域。一旦这个区域建立起来，就有可能国家会用自己的公民来填充这个区域--这在1946年至1949年的希腊内战之后成为了一个可怕的现实。事实上，希腊政府在1929年就开始这样做了，将越来越多的公民认定为左派，并对他们进行迫害，手段从无限期拘留到处决。与传统的处理方法截然不同，Neni Panourgi将内战置于更大的历史背景中，在几个世纪以来标志着希腊社会的破裂中。她的故事开始于1929年，当时希腊政府在希腊群岛的孤岛上建立了许多流亡营地。这些集中营的法律的依据可以追溯到1871年的法律--最初是为了控制强盗--允许对那些被指控的人判处死刑，并驱逐他们的家人和任何帮助隐藏他们的人。她以2004年11月17日对革命组织的审判结束。根据多年的实地调查，Panourgi~使用民族志采访，档案材料，未发表的个人叙述以及政治犯和持不同政见者的回忆录来拼凑一代人的各种微观历史，故事揭示了现代希腊公民是如何被创造成一个令人担忧的政治主题的。她的书不仅仅是表达了几十年来被压抑的感受和经历。它为布什政府作为法律的创新出现的无限期拘留的概念建立了历史。帕努吉指出，其根源部分在于希腊在杜鲁门主义和马歇尔计划之后为新殖民主义提供的实验室。
WINNER OF THE 2011 VICTOR TURNER PRIZE, Society for Humanistic Anthropology WINNER OF THE 2011 EDMUND KEELEY BOOK PRIZE, Modern Greek Studies Association HONORABLE MENTION IN ARCHEOLOGY & ANTHROPOLOGY, 2009 Prose Awards This book simultaneously tells a story-or rather, stories-and a history. The stories are those of Greek Leftists as paradigmatic figures of abjection, given that between 1929 and 1974 tens of thousands of Greek dissidents were detained and tortured in prisons, places of exile, and concentration camps. They were sometimes held for decades, in subhuman conditions of toil and deprivation.The history is that of how the Greek Left was constituted by the Greek state as a zone of danger. Legislation put in place in the early twentieth century postulated this zone. Once the zone was created, there was always the possibility-which came to be a horrific reality after the Greek Civil War of 1946 to 1949-that the state would populate it with its own citizens. Indeed, the Greek state started to do so in 1929, by identifying ever-increasing numbers of citizens as Leftistsand persecuting them with means extending from indefinite detention to execution. In a striking departure from conventional treatments, Neni Panourgi~ places the Civil War in a larger historical context, within ruptures that have marked Greek society for centuries. She begins the story in 1929, when the Greek state set up numerous exile camps on isolated islands in the Greek archipelago. The legal justification for these camps drew upon laws reaching back to 1871-originally directed at controlling brigands-that allowed the death penalty for those accused and the banishment of their family members and anyone helping to conceal them. She ends with the 2004 trial of the Revolutionary Organization 17 November.Drawing on years of fieldwork, Panourgi~ uses ethnographic interviews, archival material, unpublished personal narratives, and memoirs of political prisoners and dissidents to piece together the various microhistories of a generation, stories that reveal how the modern Greek citizen was created as a fraught political subject.Her book does more than give voice to feelings and experiences suppressed for decades. It establishes a history for the notion of indefinite detention that appeared as a legal innovation with the Bush administration. Part of its roots, Panourgi~ shows, lie in the laboratory that Greece provided for neo-colonialism after the Truman Doctrine and under the Marshall Plan.
