It tracks how intellectuals, historians, philologists, novelists, poets, painters, folklorists, and composers, in an intensely collaborative transnational network, articulated the national identities and aspirations that would go on to determine European history and politics, with effects that are still felt today. Edited by Joep Leerssen, in cooperation with almost 350 authors from dozens of countries, this encyclopedia gives a clear idea of the intricate (transnational and intermedial) networks and entanglements in which all aspects of Romantic Nationalism are connected. The online Open Access edition of The Encyclopedia of Romantic Nationalism in Europe is available here.

Similarly as in Spain and Portugal at much the same time, archives became accessible for academic historians. The general public's expectations about the establishment of historical 'truth' concerning the recent past were pressing.1 It is against this backdrop that we propose to review the changing conditions of historical research and especially the challenges involved in gaining access to primary sources, in particular those related to 'national matters'. We will try to show the ways in which the particularities of the Greek case have to do with the history of civil rights in the country in the twentieth century, both during the interwar years and – more dramatically – during the Cold War period.

It analyzes the developments, recording them in the history of tertiary education in Greece and considering them in the context of the political and social conjuncture. Main sources for writing this article were legal provisions, the press and the few relevant studies that deal with the topic. The basic working hypothesis of the paper is that the fall of the dictatorship and the participation of the student movement in the fight against the dictatorship unleashed forces within university institutions –that had already acquired a mass character since the 1960s– which claimed a more substantial role in their administration and operation. The purging of academic staff of junta elements provided an initial sample of this change. The challenging of university hierarchies...

The position of historian emerged as a distinct academic and professional field in Greece in the ... more The position of historian emerged as a distinct academic and professional field in Greece in the last quarter of the 20th century. In an attempt to explore this “delay” in comparison to Western European countries, this article offers an overview of the making of the field of modern Greek history during the twentieth century. Starting from the gradual acknowledgment of the autonomy of modern Greek history in relation to classical and Byzantine studies, the article traces its evolution and its close ties to political and social developments. The prevalence of historical positivism and philological principles, along with the dominance of the ideology of national continuity – the latter enriched through the postwar ideologies of national-mindedness and anticommunism – led to the persistence of the “historian-philologist” until 1974. The fall of the military dictatorship in 1974, which marked the end of the post-Greek Civil War era, was a catalyst for the flowering of modern Greek studie...

Using the past as a symbolic resource, the agents of political and social power seek to provide the definitive version of how and why did we arrive at the present. Simultaneously, these official versions of the past are constantly contested by opposing social forces, which frequently manage to have their versions merge with, incorporated into or stand alongside those of their opponents. It is through these procedures, namely historiographical debates such as these explored in this issue of Historei...

Κεντρικός άξονας που διατρέχει όλο σχεδόν τον προηγούμενο αιώνα είναι η επιλεκτική από το κράτος δυνατότητα πρόσβασης στις πηγές, η ελλιπής οργάνωση των σχετικών αρχείων και η άμεση συνάφεια της συγκρότησής τους με βάση τις πολεμικές περιπέτειες της χώρας αλλά και τον ταραχώδη πολιτικό της βίο. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δίδεται στην υπόθεση της «καύσης των φακέλων», στην καταστροφή δηλαδή, στις αρχές της δεκαετίας του 1990, ενός τεράστιου τεκμηριωτικού υλικού που είχε προκύψει από την παρακολούθηση, κατά κύριο λόγο, αριστερών πολιτών σε όλο τον 20ό αιώνα. Η υπόθεση αυτή αποτέλεσε προνομιακό πεδίο σύγκρουσης ανάμεσα σε δυο αντιλήψεις, σε εκείνη που τα αντιμετώπισε κυρίως ως τεκμήρια απαραίτητα για την διερεύνηση της ιστορίας του 20ού αιώνα και σε εκείνη που αντιμετώπισε την καταστροφή τους ως το επιστέγασμα της πολιτικής συμφιλίωσης που είχε επιτευχθεί στην ελληνική κοινωνία, μετά τα τραύματα που προκάλεσαν εμφύλιες συγκρούσεις,

Η ενσωμάτωση των προϊστορικών χρόνων στην ιστορία του ελληνικού έθνους συνδέθηκε με την ανάδειξη πολιτισμών που θεωρήθηκαν, από την ελληνική και ευρωπαϊκή επιστήμη, ιδιαίτερα σημαντικοί, όπως ο μυκηναϊκός ή ο μινωικός.
Α) ο φόβος της επαναχρησιμοποίησής των φακέλων στο πλαίσιο της δυσπιστίας για το τι θα μπορούσε να συμβεί σε μια κοινωνία που έμοιαζε για πολλούς να μην έχει εμπεδώσει την έννοια της δημοκρατίας.
Β) ο φόβος ότι το κράτος δεν θα μπορούσε να εγγυηθεί τη διατήρηση του απορρήτου, απόρροια της έλλειψης εμπιστοσύνης με βάση και την προηγούμενη ιστορική εμπειρία.
Γ) ο φόβος για την αποκάλυψη του περιεχομένου τους τόσο από την πλευρά των θυτών όσο εν μέρει και των θυμάτων.
Απέναντι στην επιθυμία για γνώση του παρελθόντος κυριάρχησε ο φόβος για τις επιπτώσεις αυτής της γνώσης, αλλά ενδεχομένως και η κούραση μιας κοινωνίας που επιθυμούσε να γυρίσει σελίδα, οδηγώντας στην αποδοχή της καταστροφής των ανεπιθύμητων και πάντα τρομακτικών κληρονομιών του διχαστικού παρελθόντος.
