Myth, Representation, and Identity - An Ethnography of Memory in Lipsi, Greece (Hardcover)

Lipsi is a small Greek island in the southeast Aegean Sea. There,
the local oral tradition weaves the island's history from the
mythical Calypso to this day, relating stories of people from a
distant past and of those who are still leaving their mark, until
the day they become memories and stories as well. This eternal time
of an endless repetition, as perceived by today's inhabitants, is
projected onto space making a narrative landscape through material
constructions, collective bodily movements, and supernatural
apparitions. The result of long-term ethnographic fieldwork, this
book refers to the community of Lipsi as an example of the
correlations between popular cosmologies, official religion, and
the development of a symbolic landscape, along with the formation
of collective identities and representations in the context of a
"cultural and social experience of the world."
