ABSTRACT

The intense preoccupation with the coordinates of the self, the mapping of its limits, has resulted in a shifting of the concept of Greekness that leads, among other things, to a new problematic, a new conceptual scheme. The self, just as is has definitely moved away from the security and comfort of ithografia, has definitely moved away from conceptions about its cohesive representations. The common attitude towards the fragmented global individual seems to place local history in a different perspective. Local history does not quite constitute one of the ends of a temporal scale but returns changed and affected, injected in the meanwhile with the altered gaze or perception of the wandering subject. The process of globalization, apart from diminishing differences and spaces, is also fragmenting the imagined unity within the same country and represents an enormous intensification of conflicts.
