“…They wished to write a popular national history instead of a right‐wing national history to emphasise revolution and resistance, including the 1821 independence war; anti‐imperialist and antifascist struggles against Britain, Germany, and the US; and the 1974 democratic revolution (on the current debate on how to define revolution, see Deluermoz and Jeanpierre, 2016). Theodorakis's use of the bouzouki (a popular musical instrument) even in Neruda's Canto General (Papadogiannis, 2015: 35–36), Danae's rediscovery of folklore, and many similar artistic projects all aimed to reinterpret Greek history as a people's history. Greeks could share this national history – which was at once patriotic and internationalist – with other oppressed peoples around the world.…”

“…Artistic creation was also crucial in popularising the Chilean 1970s in Greece because of culture's important role during the Metapolitefsi (Papadogiannis, 2015). Culture's key role has two main explanations.…”

“…Theodorakis's and Neruda's Canto General was performed at concerts and festivals, which were major political and cultural Metapolitefsi events. According to Kornetis (2021), such events ‘renegotiat[ed] the parameters of political participation and partly reset the agenda of the country's foreign policy’ (see also Papadogiannis, 2015: 87).…”

This article discusses how Greeks perceived Salvador Allende's overthrow, Pinochet's military dictatorship, and US interventionism in Chile. By the end of Greece's dictatorship (1967–1974), left‐wing militants emotionally identified with the ‘Chilean tragedy’ through their own experiences of military authoritarianism. Indeed, the Greek Colonels' Junta amplified the 1973 Chilean coup's local impact. Subsequently, during the early Metapolitefsi period (1974–1981), a wide variety of Greek political, social, and cultural actors used the Chilean 1970s as a key reference in the crucial debates that ultimately redefined Greece's collective political and cultural identities.

“…19 The Greek state closely monitored the beliefs of all its citizens, excluded the Left from the ranks of public administration to keep it 'permanently out of the circle of power'. 20 The objective was to gradually shift the ideological conviction of the population away from the democratic ideas and revolutionary practices of the 1940s. 21 The Greek state continued to persecute its 'enemies', keeping many of them in prisons and exile islands until after the fall of the dictatorship of the Colonels.…”

This chapter examines Pyrsos, a Greek illustrated magazine published by political refugees in East Germany, as a case study on the aesthetic articulation of solidarity with the so-called Third World in the 1960s by emigres situated in-between the West and the socialist states. It argues that the magazine's complex political and aesthetic discourse on solidarity was intellectually and aesthetically entangled with notions of identification and metonymy that 'inserted' the Greek case within an anti-imperialist, anti-American Third Wordlist struggle and, as such, were loaded with desires for the liberation and democratisation of Greece. The analysis examines how aesthetic and political articulations of solidarity were rendered visible in the magazine's visuality and intertextuality, focusing on its discourse on the Vietnam war. The chapter discusses the specific cultural histories and highlights the hidden accounts that unfolded from the margins during the Cold War. Beyond de-centring established, primarily Western-centric, paradigms of solidarity in the 1960s, its contribution speaks to the role of political publishing and to the distinctions between state and grassroots solidarity in the Eastern Bloc. By examining the emigres' magazine as a case study, this chapter aims to tease out existing definitions of solidarity in the 1960s whilst contributing to the study of its visual and aesthetic dimensions.
