Listening Across the Green Line

Short text reflecting on listening and citizenship focusing on the Cyprus conflict – in connection to the traumas and legacies of the 1974 Turkish invasion – and the ways it has been sonically and acoustically conveyed in everyday life on the radio. The text explores the ways in which both listening and the radio became potentially transformative.The text was published in the academic blog "Greek Studies Now - Cultural Analysis Network" run by the University of Oxford and the University of Amsterdam: https://gc.fairead.net/green-line?fbclid=IwAR0p2X4gW3sDnfAErbPyW-CgPpbnM7fSOJwXWufUnMYH7L8zlzMj0GDDYeg

This is a slightly enlarged version of a text that was first published as a part of portfolio titled 'Acts of citizenship in present-day Greece' edited by Kristina Gedgaudaitė, Dimitris Papanikolaou and Theophilos Trampoulis at the Journal of Greek Media & Culture vo. 9, issue 2 (November 2023), 223-225; https://intellectdiscover.com/content/journals/10.1386/jgmc_00079_5. This portofolio of reflections drew its inspiration from the colloquium Being Citizens Together: Rethinking Social Citizenship in Greece that took place on 11 February 2023 at the National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST). It includes an interview with the curators of the event Dimitris Papanikolaou and Theophilos Tramboulis with Kristina Gedgaudaitė as well as critical reflections and creative writing interventions by eight of the participants: Christos Chrysanthopoulos, Sofia Dona, Brikena Gishto, Pafsanias Karathanasis, Erofili Kokkali, Iris Lykourioti, Anna Papaeti and Theo Prodromidis.
