Understanding Modern Greece Political Mentality

项目摘要

In recent years, the European economic crisis--and Greece as one major epicenter thereof since 2009--stimulated Greek public debate on identity, and particularly on the relationship between Greek and European identity. Greece's Byzantine past and heritage, as well as today's predominance of an Eastern Orthodox religious affiliation, emerge as aspects of exceptional importance in this debate, which both directly and indirectly affect society, politics, and the actual relationship of Greece with the European Union and its member-states. In this project, I will enquire into the deeper assumptions within the Greek public sphere as these are to be traced in the discourse produced by Greek public intellectuals and academics who share the following two common traits: (a) a claim that Greece possesses a cultural otherness in comparison to the "West", which (b) is to be traced in its Orthodox Christian and Byzantine roots, from a religious and historical perspective respectively. These intellectual currents will be analysed through the perspective of cultural and religious studies concerning their religious basis and through the perspective of critical geopolitics concerning their implicit understanding of spatiality as demonstrated by the use of concepts such as "the West", "our own East" ("e kath' emas Anatole"), the Byzantine "Oikoumene", and so on. Apart from analysing these ideological currents, the demonstration and analysis of their impact on Greek society and politics is also to be thoroughly studied, i.e. the way these currents partially form public opinion and policy. I expect that through this research project, the deeper roots of Greek public opinion's implicit ambivalence concerning Europe and the European Union will become more articulate, lucid and better understood in their proper dimensions. Not only should this project decisively contribute to the understanding of the Orthodox and Byzantine roots of modern Greek identity per se and of Greece's contemporary ambivalence, but is should also provide the European scholar with an inner perspective on the causes and mechanisms of contemporary Greek political mentality.

近年来，欧洲经济危机-自2009年以来希腊成为危机的主要震中-激发了希腊公众关于身份的辩论，特别是关于希腊身份与欧洲身份之间的关系。希腊的拜占庭历史和遗产，以及今天东正教宗教信仰的主导地位，在这场辩论中成为特别重要的方面，直接和间接地影响社会，政治以及希腊与欧盟及其成员国的实际关系。在这个项目中，我将探讨希腊公共领域内更深层次的假设，因为这些假设可以在希腊公共知识分子和学者的话语中找到，他们有以下两个共同特征：（a）声称希腊与“西方”相比具有文化差异性，（B）可追溯到其东正教和拜占庭根源，分别从宗教和历史的角度。这些知识潮流将通过文化和宗教研究的角度进行分析，涉及其宗教基础，并通过批判地缘政治学的角度进行分析，涉及其对空间性的隐含理解，如使用“西方”，“我们自己的东方”等概念。（“e kath' emas Anatole”），拜占庭的“Oikoumene”，等等。除了分析这些思想潮流，还应深入研究这些潮流对希腊社会和政治的影响，即这些潮流如何部分地形成公众舆论和政策。我希望通过这一研究项目，希腊公众舆论对欧洲和欧盟的隐含矛盾心理的更深根源将变得更加清晰、清晰，并在适当的层面上得到更好的理解。这个项目不仅应该决定性地有助于理解现代希腊身份本身的东正教和拜占庭根源以及希腊当代的矛盾心理，而且还应该为欧洲学者提供关于当代希腊政治心态的原因和机制的内在视角。
