Description:This book addresses, for the first time within the compass of a single volume, the issue of the formation of Modern Greek identity in such a way as to connect a period traditionally addressed by Byzantinists (the 15th century) with the early modern and modern periods down to the middle of the 20th century. Within the post-modern context it has commonly been assumed that notions of Modern Greek identity emerged in the nineteenth century as a by-product of the Enlightenment: in other words, that identity discourse is a construction of the State. Contrariwise, recent and current work on late Byzantium points to ideological, political and philosophical conceptualisations of Hellenic identity that are much older and which urge us to re-consider established views on the topic. Late Byzantine thinkers such as Gemistos Plethon and Laonikos Chalkokondylis were preoccupied with the idea of Hellenic identity and developed notions of Hellenism that were not only philosophical, but also ideologically and politically expedient. Byzantine scholars in Italy in the 15th century and Leo Allatios continued the problematisation of Modern Greek identity. From a very different perspective, during the 19th century, Greek writers and thinkers such as Emmanuel Roides and Alexandros Papadiamantis developed strongly contrasting views about the intellectual connections between Modern Greece and its Byzantine heritage. Unlike existing approaches to Modern Greek identity, this volume assumes two antithetical but complementary vantage points. One takes us forward from the 15th to the 20th century; the other reverses the angle by moving backward from the 20th century to late Byzantium. The former traces a process of identity formation; the latter sheds light on a process of reflection upon Hellenism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
