Anti-austerity voices, the press and affective politics in Greece - Wednesday 8th March 
2pm, Dr Maria Kyriakidou, UEA - Clephan Building 0.01

This paper explores the ways anti-austerity politics have been covered in the mainstream press in Greece. Empirically, the paper draws upon two different empirical studies on press coverage of anti-austerity: the reporting of the Aganaktismeni protests in 2011; and the coverage of the ascendance of the radical left SYRIZA to power in 2015. The paper approaches both phenomena as the most vocal expressions of anti-austerity politics in Greece, if not in Europe, and critically examines the dominant frames through which the two processes were reported. In particular, it questions the way anti-austerity ideas were presented as valid political and economic alternatives and possible solutions to the crisis. 

Best wishes
