Για τι πράγμα μιλάμε, όταν μιλάμε για κοινωνικούς ανταγωνισμούς

Translated title of the contribution: What we talk about when we talk about about social antagonisms

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The chapter places the public lynching of Zak Kostopoulos/Zackie Oh (September 2018, Athens, Greece) in the knot of discourses constructed as a hegemony of the public sphere and public space. The killing of Zak, in the city centre and in broad daylight, has allowed for a rethinking of the petite bourgeoisie and state actors as an intersecting murderous force attaching 'otherness': queerness, the appearance of 'illness', the impression of 'guilt' against property. Queer activist Zak Kostopoulos' lynching has been a catalyst for the moblisation of grassroots political queerness in Greece. On Zak Kostopoulos, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zak_Kostopoulos
