The (Re)-Invention of traditional: national mythology in the greek diaspora.

Αγγλικά

This paper seeks to explore the ‘diaspora experience’ of ‘living here while belonging there’ by
considering the role that culture and tradition play in identity construction. This will be done
with specific reference to the Greeks in Australia. After an analysis of the existing scholarship,
several key ‘theatres’ of culture and tradition in the diaspora will be considered. These include
national day celebrations, the role of education, the home, music and dance, as well as
experiences of return. The issues that emerge from these events and practices will be considered
and analysed in greater depth, examining various elements including the creation of identity and
the effects of generational differences within the community; the way in which culture is used by
both the diaspora as well as home and host states; and finally the problems associated with our
propensity to understand identity as falling into national categories.
