On the question of Global Hellenisms and "a metropolitan center"

Thinking about Modern Greek Programs and academic units in Australia, Canada, France, Greece, UK and US among others being at the forefront of knowledge production about the Greek diasporas

Thinking of artists, authors, poets, translators connected with Greek heritage or culture and living outside Greece earning distinction for their work across the world

These plain facts obviously de-center the notion of Greece as the metropolitan center of "global Hellenism"

Modern Greek studies, it follows, are implicated in transnational networks and constellations beyond Greece as its center.
