The subject of Vassos Argyrou's study is modernisation, as
reflected in the changing nature of wedding celebrations in Cyprus
over two generations from the 1930s to the present day. He argues
that modernisation is not a secular, progressive process, that
remodels the life of a society, ironing out local differences.
Rather, it is a legitimising discourse. It is an idiom which Greek
Cypriots employ to represent, and contest, relationships between
social classes, old and young, men and women, city folk and
villagers. At the same time, by involving modernisation, they are
submitting to foreign standards, and accepting the symbolic
domination of Europe.
