Public civilization and cultural citizenship at the Thessaloniki International Film Festival past Toby Kim Lee( Book )

1 edition published in 2013 in English and held by two WorldCat fellow member libraries worldwide

This dissertation explores the relationship between state, citizen and public culture through an ethnographic and historical examination of the Thessaloniki International Motion-picture show Festival in northern Greece. In the two-year period leading up to and following its fiftieth anniversay in 2009, the festival was caught up in the larger economical, political and social crises that have overtaken Hellenic republic in the last five years - a painful flow of rapid transformation and neoliberalization for i of Europe's stauchest social-welfare states. As the Greek country faces bankruptcy - both economic and political - it is being forced to revisit the terms of its social contract with its citizens. In a state where "culture" was once touted as a national "heavy industry," the relationship between the state and cultural production is likewise being restructured. Public civilization is one of the areas of social life in which people are now struggling with these changes and attempting to redefine what information technology means to be a citizen of the Greek land - utilizing and revising, local, national and transnational identities in the process. In this larger context, I consider how the Thessaloniki Movie Festival functions equally an institution of public culture. Specifically, this dissertation investigates how different films publics come up together inside the space of the festival and how, on the occasion of the institution's fifieth anniversary, unlike social histories of cinema were existence constructed in response to the present crises. I also accept an in-depth look at a Greek filmmakers' movement that boycotted the festival'due south fiftieth-anniversary edition equally a manner of protesting the state and demanding a new national motion-picture show policy. Through these investigations, I analyze how different forms of publicness, collectivity and citizenship are negotiated and enacted, both by the institution and past members of its publics and counterpublics. I argue that practices of cultural citizenship - forms of citizenship that arise where fields of cultural production meet the practices and discourses of the state - tin can establish important forms of resistance, attempts at recuperating a critical public sphere and reclaiming a citizenship based on the feel of a critical collectivity
