Transformative Connections: Trauma, Cooperative Horizons, and Emerging Political Topographies in Athens, Greece

Pages 32-44 | Published online: 12 Nov 2015
 

Abstract

Bringing literature on trauma and politics together with Deleuze's writing on sense and events, this ethnographic study considers how traumatized subjects contribute to emerging political landscapes. I argue that slow motion traumas root lived crises that can become shared, informing critical perspectives, agencies, and grounding potentially disruptive ethics and politics.

Notes

[1] A recent news story about a young Romani girl, dubbed the “blonde angel”, given to another family by parents who could not care for her sparked Andreas’ interest in the plight of this community.

[2] The Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) first came to power in Greece on 20 January 2015. The party leader, Alexis Tsipras, resigned as prime minister on 20 August 2015 after losing his majority in the Greek Parliament. SYRIZA won the subsequent election and Tsipras returned as prime minister on 20 September 2015.
