“…The private sector, in the form of large philanthropic foundations, rose to dominate heritage preservation and the new cultural production (Plantzos 2018). Critique soared: the receding state proved unable to adapt to the patron/facilitator patterns of management policy (Craik 2007), while chronic, palpable pathogenies in Greek cultural management (low state budget on culture, problematic prioritisation of spending, lack of infrastructure and tools, understaffing, clientelism) were further aggravated (Kouki & Liakos 2015). The 'state deficit model' steadily became a commonplace argument in academic narratives, while 'self-explanatory' flexible models emerged as one of the dominant modalities in the relevant bibliography, focusing on profit generation, entrepreneurship and cross-sectoral competitiveness; currently, proposals float between the synchronisation of public and private sectors, synergies and the preparation of the ground for investment on culture and heritage (Gazi 2017…”

“…Simultaneously, however, Greece has also been one of the hotbeds for a multi-faceted and heterogeneous democratic politics developing across the continent and particularly in Southern European countries and Ireland (see Hadjimichalis, 2017; O’Callaghan et al., 2014). More than a debt crisis then, the Greek and European travails constitute a “demo-crisis” (Kouki and Liakos, 2015: np). For Kouki and Liakos (2015), this term signifies how the elites have tried to first construct and then silence the demos , the people, as an obstacle to their efforts to respond to the crisis of the neoliberal project by implementing ultra-neoliberal policies.…”

“…Mainstream media have played a key role in the dissemination of such stereotypes and discourses, which continued during the economic crisis through the attribution of the crisis' roots to Greek culture (Liakos & Kouki, 2015). International media accepted and promoted non-systemic crisis narratives (Fairclough & Fairclough, 2012) and contributed to the circulation of blame, by focusing on the inadequate regulation of the market by the state, the intellectual and moral failures of people, and their "culturally induced" striving for corruption, greed, or laziness (Bickes et al, 2014;Kutter, 2014;Mylonas, 2012Mylonas, , 2015.…”
