"The state doesn't exist here": Political imaginaries in the Greek minority of Albania

"Ici,l'Etat n'existe pas": Les imaginaires politiques de la minorité grecque d'Albanie

Résumé

This article explores how people from the Greek minority of Albania experience, imagine, and narrate their encounters with the sovereign power and the state in the context of competing sovereignties of the border region. Within the ways of life produced by the borderlands, particular political imaginaries appear in which statecraft and statehood are inextricably linked through discourse, and any detail of the everyday experience may become a matter of politics. In such a context, alternative sovereignty projects are produced to creatively transform the existing ideologies and symbolically resolve the discursive conflict of statecraft and statehood generated in the dichotomy of Albanian and Greek, local and national, right and left, past and present.
