Η Αόρατη Ελληνική Διασπορά – «Παγκόσμια ελληνική διασπορά» πέρα από εθνοτική καταγωγή

Η φίλη μου η Τ που μεγάλωσε στην Ελλάδα με την βοήθεια των μεταναστών γονέων της από την Αλβανία που μετανάστευσε στην Αμερική και που διαβάζει παθιασμένα ελληνική λογοτεχνία την οποία σπουδάζει. Ο φημισμένος μας γκλόμπαλ μπραντ Γιάννης που από την Αμερική υποστηρίζει υλικά την γειτονιά που μεγάλωσε. Ο γνωστός μου Κ με γονείς από Αιθιοπία, γεννημένος στην Πάτρα τώρα μετανάστης στο Λονδίνο που από μικρός καλλιεργεί τις (τώρα απέραντες) γνώσεις του για την Ελληνική μουσική και πειραματίζεται με πολυπολισμικες διασταυρώσεις.

Αυτοί οι τρεις άνθρωποι και άλλοι εκατό και χιλιάδες που οι βιογραφίες τους συνδέουν τις καταγωγές τους με την εμπλοκή τους και καλλιέργεια της ελληνική κουλτούρας -και σε σχέση με άλλες- έξω από τα σύνορα. Αυτοί που το αφήγημα της διασποράς ως ομογένεια όμως τους αποκλείει. Αποτελούν την αόρατη Ελληνική διασπορά.

Αυτά τα θέματα περιφέρονται στην σκέψη μου καθώς μελετώ πρωτοποριακά κείμενα από την δεκαετία του 1990 περί παγκόσμιου Ελληνισμού ως παιδεία. Πέρα από την ομογένεια λοιπόν, κάτι που είχα επισημάνει στο παρακάτω, και τώρα προσκαλεί συστηματική σκέψη προς ένα εναλλακτικό αφήγημα.

 
Δες, «O Γιάννης Αντετοκούμπο, ζωντανή μαρτυρία της αδυναμίας του όρου «ομογένεια» να εκφράσει τη δυναμική της διασποράς στην Αμερική».

Contemporary Greek American scholarship–On the Question of Recommended Reading Lists

Ok. Look

Since the 1990s, the list has been growing of Greek American scholarship which

(a) is published by prestigious US and global University Presses

(b) has opened new conceptual spaces, advanced the field in conversation with theories of diaspora, migration, subjectivity

(c) has been widely discussed by US diaspora and migration scholars

(d) has been extensively cited by worldwide prominent scholars and the next generation of researchers

(e) offers powerfully written, sophisticated and innovative analyses of new research domains

(f) had been advancing comparative studies

[we can continue adding to the list]

If these books are not featured in current recommended reading lists (they are not in a recent example) then this exclusion turns into an object of analysis historicizing Greek American studies. The canon that the lists produce and their ideological underpinnings...

A few thoughts about Greek transnational/diaspora studies and the next generation of researchers

Context

The last four months, amid global turmoil and regional devastation, I have been striving to continue my critical work on diaspora, in a project taking up the construction of “Global Hellenism.” I would have never advanced this work without the benefit of pioneering research achieved by scholars from the previous generation but also my contemporaries. Feeling a sense of gratitude and intellectual debt, my thoughts also veered toward the next generation in the context of the current state of the field of diaspora studies, still short of human and institutional resources. I felt compelled to share the following, initially intended as a conclusion to my writing (still in progress) with the community of modern Greek studies scholars and the broader public.

The Text

As I move toward concluding this writing, I think about the question of the next generation of modern Greek transnational/diaspora scholars. I recall the intellectual resources my generation inherited but also the challenges it confronted. I feel immensely grateful to those intellectual ancestors who produced quality scholarship, boldly taking risks to challenge canonical renderings of diaspora and "Hellenism," opening new routes for critical inquiry, raising the bar while freeing us to explore new research questions.

But I also remember, so viscerally, the embodied frustration about the vast knowledge gaps in the field due to the limited human resources and institutional power. As a result, a great deal of labor was necessary––excavating tunnel after tunnel it was exhausting––to be able to cross into new research frontiers.

The wide circulation of narrow and essentialist identity narratives in the public sphere also presented an impediment for advancing the field. Those of us working against this reductive cultural politics had to invest vast energies in demonstrating the self-evident reality of the diaspora as a heterogeneous field. It involved practicing scholarship as intervention, calling for inclusion of subjectivities, histories, and experiences not fitting normative simplifications. This critical work was urgent, we felt, to engage students, scholars of diasporas; also the public, community institutions. But in a weak and reticent diasporic public sphere this latter enterprise faced difficulties.

Though nation-centric narratives of diaspora still reign supreme in state and popular discourse, the critical corpus above was successful in carving alternative academic and public spaces for thinking and writing diaspora. Sectors in the academy cultivated it, graduate students were exposed to new ideas, a range of academic and popular journals were receptive. Though commanding a relative limited academic space, critical diaspora studies were effective in moving the conversation toward regional particularities, class and gender-specificities, silenced pasts, the making of bicultural selves, issues of ethnics and politics in cultural representation, transnational inquiries, diasporic citizenship, diaspora solidarities with vulnerable groups. There were significant gains, but a great deal of work remains to be done. Not everyone found critical self-reflection a compelling practice.

The next generation enters this field inheriting a significant corpus of work, but also still confronting major lacunas in knowledge. They do so while entering a market of limited academic opportunities in Greek diaspora studies at a time when critical scholarship finds itself under duress. The global tendencies of governments to tightly regulate multiculturalism and the simultaneous ascendancy of national historiographies and popular celebrations of heritage makes critical scholarship at best unpopular at worse undesirable and target of nationalist critique. Junior scholars embracing post-colonial projects are chastised in public as unpatriotic. Funding for such scholarship may be limited, magnifying opportunities for those who safely pursue complacent research. Once again, the next generation is confronted with cultural fronts which we thought, until recently, that we left behind. We now return to the struggle for asserting the value of diverse historiographies.

Greek diaspora studies carry limited academic capital and operate with limited human and financial resources. The Greek state and community organizations invest a great deal in promoting their own identity narratives but not in advancing a multifaceted public conversation by empowering reflective academic studies. In the diaspora governmental economy of positing diasporas as global players in advancing national interests, enhancing cultural prestige and status, knowledge production is hierarchical. Projects reflecting on improving “diaspora homeland” relations enjoy support by state and financial institutions vested in this relationship. Research that places limits in its critique of institutions enjoys great visibility while work interrogating dominant ideologies is still sidelined. This while spaces of critical freedom seem to be shrinking.

In the current global dynamic, under dramatic changes whose implications are difficult to foresee, diasporas serve as tools for states, elites, and institutions to advance their political, economic and national interests. Identity narratives privilege certain modalities of practices––investments, political support, philanthropy, transfers of professional expertise, cultural preservation, empowering local institutions––while displacing others. Questions regarding poverty in the diaspora, struggles for coping with soaring real estate prices, inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic exploitation fall outside the purview of this discourse. Scholars face the task of addressing these issues. But how to advance this remapping when academic positions are scarce and globalization contributes to the proliferation of new collectives, initiatives, institutions, cultural expressions, discourses. Diaspora studies lack adequate resources to meaningfully keep pace with these new articulations.

What is it to be done? There are no easy answers. In this juncture, we will do well to once again remind ourselves that modern Greek studies *is* transnational modern Greek studies. Let us also note that questions of globality intensify and expand the scope of this field where diaspora studies indeed cross paths with modern Greek studies, a potentially powerful academic partner (in the context of a historically uneasy relationship). Scholars may wish to consider position papers and essays as ways of contributing, though this practice does not often translate into academic credentials. Tenured scholars are best positioned pragmatically for this kind of tactical interventions. We may wish to think of edited volumes on diasporic literature, archives, popular culture, civic activism, solidarities with persecuted or devalued demographics, the arts. Anthologies of poetry and short stories. Enter in dialogue with think tanks and journalists. One major fight is for continuing critical scholarship producing knowledge raising questions, generating debate. Let us keep reflecting on what we could further deliver to the field and offer to the next generation…

Bibliography on Greek America (2024)

This bibliography compiles publications on Greek America for 2024, in English and Greek.

Who Speaks for the Diaspora?

With the increasing governmental value of the diasporas (particularly the wealthy ones) we are seeing the expansion of a managerial class in the media, heritage organizations, institutions, the cultural service sector as well as the academy who have limited understanding of the histories and the complexities of the phenomenon but know enough (and also are adept at rehashing nation-centric ideologies) or will be producing enough to reproduce regulated meanings of the diaspora and in the process shrink the (already small) demographic who does the critical work of naming these phenomena and their connection with neoliberalism and the ruling of the dominant classes.

A note about academic diaspora studies and their public role

In the absence of relevant studies, we can only speculate about the reasons for the lack, or at best limited, institutional interest in supporting Greek diaspora studies.

 
But we can very well see the implications of this neglect, particularly in this historical moment when grassroots interest in heritage and identity accelerates. With limited human and other resources there is little what researchers can do, while some opt to strictly stay within the niche of their research interests. As a result, academic contributions for understanding and contextualizing grassroots identity narratives is limited, and in some areas non-existent.

 
To speak about a topic which is close to my heart and politics, understanding women’s struggles for equality. In the context of this year’s International Women’s Day, diaspora associations mobilized widely, paying tribute to diaspora women, recognizing their contributions, honoring trailblazers, granting awards––under the rubric of promoting the discourse of equality.

I have not fully followed the discourse, and I do not think there is yet academic essays or commentaries contextualizing its various iterations. I hope I am mistaken. Perhaps there will be in the future. But Greek diaspora gender studies has also few practitioners.

 
I would have loved to hear how these grassroots celebrations of women addressed working class women. Whether the discussion included various feminisms and intersections between gender, class, sexuality. Whether there were discussions of how the struggle for equality squares with the social organization of associations which still segregate gender. Whether there were expressions of solidarity with vulnerable women in demographics beyond the Greek diaspora, in the spirit of an outward ethos of diasporic citizenship.

The lack of support for diaspora studies has considerably compromised its contributions to the public sphere, to the detriment, I believe, to all diaspora citizens as well as those in Greece who value reflection and learning.

A broad conversation is due about our presence in the public sphere and the forms it might take.

Note on Entrepreneurialism

Entrepreneurialism is valorized as a driving force for innovation, creativity, progress, success. It is cited to foreground the willingness to take risks, the ability to think and act outside the box, to the crossing, that is, of all kinds of boundaries, leading to new solutions and technologies, discoveries, medical breakthroughs, ultimately human well-being. Entrepreneurialism is of course ideologically loaded. In immigrant/ethnic discourses, where it is celebrated, it has provided ahistorical explanations of mobility, justification for intra-ethnic (as well as interethnic) hierarchies (successful vs unsuccessful migrant) and the arrogance that comes with them, national mythologies (bootstrap mobility), attacks on labor movements (the entrepreneurial middle class seeking to discipline immigrants involved in the labor movement, fearing the tarnishing of the ethnic reputation and the capitalist status quo). Entrepreneurialism creates but also destroys (social relations, the environment, values). Not rarely it connects with shady dealings behind sealed doors.

 
This is to say that the media, journalists, scholars, citizens ought to move beyond the ideology of entrepreneurialism as unbounded optimism––the sky is the limit––and explore the various facets of its social implications.

Collected Writings (in blogs and the media) on Greek American history and historiography

I have now collected my writings in my blog and the media (2007-2024)
on the subject of Greek American history and historiography (36918 words) ––

Writings in Blogs and the Media
(2007-2024)
Yiorgos Anagnostou ©

The writings in this collection sprang from several intertwined desires, intellectual and affective. Deep feeling, while thinking about or experiencing particular Greek American realities, was one driving force. Another was the need to keep public memory alive about events not recognized as broadly as their significance requires. Also at work was an aspect of the research process––presenting knowledge left out from publication in the interest of space. Occasionally, a piece derived from research undertaken for work on a peer-reviewed project. This found its way into my blogs, which explains the long, article-like feel of some of the entries. In a few cases, let me note, I incorporated sections of my academic publications into blogs in my wish to bring the research closer to the broader public.

This collection documents an aspect of my writing life amidst major writing commitments––articles, book chapters, essays, editorials, book reviews, poems as well as blogs published in Ergon: Greek/American & Diaspora Arts and Letters, which are not included in this corpus.

Several of the writings featured here were meant as interventions in unfolding public conversations, produced in circumstances associated with intense, often overwhelming, work schedules. This urgency compromised, to some extent, the depth and range of my thinking as well as the degree of narrative expressiveness necessary for evoking complexity. This has been a relative drawback, but a price I was willing to pay in exchange for my intellectual contribution on issues that mattered to me.

The bulk of the writings were initially published in my blog Immigrations–Ethnicities–Racial Situations: Writings about Difference and Contact Zones (I-E-RS) (https://immigrations-ethnicities-racial.blogspot.com/), a venue which was founded in 2010. Some comprise book reviews and essays published in the media––Greek and Greek American mostly; I also include a Greek Australian example.
I would like to take the opportunity and express my debt to Kostis Kourelis given that my venturing into blogging was greatly inspired by his Objects-Buildings-Situations (https://kourelis.blogspot.com/), an initiative I admired for its eloquence and substance. The term “situations,” a borrowing in the title of I-E-RS, speaks to this affinity.

In I-E-RS, readers will also find entries pertaining to popular culture, including film, literature, Greek American studies, the politics of diaspora. I plan to compile and make this facet of my work available later in 2025.

Facebook’s praise culture

Witnessing the super applause at play, thunderous clapping elevating average value at a triumphant pedestal; showering with petals the illusion of super achievement.

 
Thinking how deeply damaging this is for a cultural field, an academic project. Cheers from a variety of angles working in tandem to blanket weak assumptions, blind spots, limitations. The weight of interests lowering expectations, compromising critical reflection, crashing the bar low. A ritual massacre hailed as a triumph in fb’s colosseum…
