Περίληψη
My presentation reflects on the themes of this workshop by thinking with two ethnographic films I have made in Greece, where elderly protagonists engage two historical moments from the 1940s that are deemed painful and that have the national status of heritage, enabled through the clouding of these moments’ conflictual elements. I will unpack what this pain is about and how the act of narration as well as the act of filmmaking capture the tensions between personal and national affects. I will also be reflecting on film as a process and a way of representing social experience, as well as on its role as an ethnographic object that enables ways of thinking about heritage and its affordances at the local level. The presentation will explore these questions, while featuring footage from the two films and by using the visual as a platform of thinking about the role of the past in the present as well the tensions of memory and heritage between national, local and other contexts.
