🎤 #Interview | Greek Historiography

Historian Nikos Christofis speaks to Rethinking Greece about the recently published volume 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐞: 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬, which he edited.

The volume, aiming to serve as a contemporary resource for students and scholars alike, explores how Greek historiography has evolved—from 19th-century nation-building narratives to contemporary approaches like gender studies, biography, and memory studies.

Christofis also discuses the importance of transnational and comparative frameworks in decentering Greek exceptionalism and aligning modern Greek historiography with broader international scholarly trends.

Professor Tziovas also breaks down why Greece’s story can't be told through simple binaries—and suggests a richer, hybrid perspective instead.

🗺️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐤𝐢 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐬: A New Way to Understand a Changing City

Thessaloniki is a city in motion—shaped by centuries of history and the pressures of today’s globalised world. As transformations continue to unfold across its social, spatial, and environmental landscape, many of these changes remain undocumented or difficult to access.

📍The Thessaloniki Social Atlas is a new, free online platform that brings together scientific research and public knowledge. With texts, maps, and urban data, it offers a critical, evidence-based look at the city’s ongoing evolution, with a special emphasis on how historical traits are being reshaped in the present.

📍This bilingual (Greek and English) resource is open to everyone—from local residents and curious readers to researchers and policy-makers.

📍The project aims to democratize knowledge, make complex research accessible, and support public dialogue on how Thessaloniki is changing—and what that means for its future.

👉Discover the Atlas and explore Thessaloniki through a new lens:
