This book shows how the model of singing poets becomes then an
organizing principle for a system of national popular music. It
responds to the growing call for the teaching of the textual
networks of popular music within the domains of literary and
cultural studies.
What relates the early films of Yorgos Lanthimos with Vasilis
Kekatos's 2019 Cannes triumph The Distance Between Us and the Sky?
What is the lasting legacy of Panos Koutras's 2009 trans narrative
Strella: A Woman's Way in today's gender and sexual identity
activism in Greece? What was the role of cultural collectives in
the formation of a 'weird history' of Greek cinema? And how did
cinema and other cultural forms respond to a sense of Crisis and an
ever expansive management of life that we have now learnt to call
biopolitics? This book uses such questions in order to establish a
cinematic and cultural history of Greece during the last difficult
decade in an engaged and highly original manner. It focuses on key
films from the post-2009 'New' or 'Weird Wave' of Greek cinema,
proposing the Greek Weird Wave as a paradigmatic cinema movement of
biopolitical realism. At once representing, reframing and
reimagining the present, the Greek Weird Wave points to a much
larger development in World Cinema.

Between 1945 and 1975, both France and Greece developed an
interplay between literature and popular music, each making a new
'national canon'. Literature provided the aesthetic criteria, the
cultural prestige and the institutional basis for what aspired to
be a higher form of popular song. Published poems were turned into
popular songs, while a critical discourse, in return, celebrated
songwriters not only for being 'as good as poets' but for being
'singing poets' in their own right. In France, there were Georges
Brassens, Leo Ferre and Serge Gainsbourg; in Greece, the
presitigious title of 'tragoudopoios' (maker of songs) was awarded
to Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hadjidakis and Dionysis Savvopoulos.
This challenging and stimulating study draws on a wealth of
materials, from theoretical writings by poets, through their
lyrics, to the record sleeves and posters used to promote them.
