Is interest shifting in our time from time to space? How and why does someone identify with a nationality or group? Does the concept of identification tend to replace the concept of identity, especially in multicultural societies? To what extent can culture be considered a protean concept? When and how do the images of Greece change? What do we mean by modernity in Greek literature? Are essays being written in our days or what do the terms tradition and rule refer to? These are some of the questions posed by this book, aiming to reconcile the epigraphic with the theoretical discourse. Through basic concepts, theoretical trends, or genres of writing, it seeks to outline how ideas, cultural practices, and literary modes appear, evolve, and transform over time and place. By discussing certain crucial dilemmas and exploring the international career of ideas, examining, where possible, their Greek reception, the book constitutes a manual for reflection on current issues and controversial issues related to culture and literature.
