| Sažetak: | This paper considers the diaspora as a vantage point from which to challenge the traditional opposition between national and regional/local identities. Through a study of the institutional and social organization of the Greek-Orthodox colony in Venice in the early modern period, the paper investigates the ways in which regional belonging informed communal logics in a diaspora context, as well as the ways in which communal governance informed these local identities. The Venetian case therefore invites one to consider the « diaspora experience » as part and parcel of the political and social construction of local identities, in particular through patterns of trans-local mobilization of regional markers. This analysis shall finally allow us to question the situation of the Greek-Orthodox colony in Venice, in face of the emergence, in the middle of the xviiith century, of a « new Greek diaspora », and to offer an alternative model to the implicit assumption of an existing continuity between « the making of the community » and that of the nation. |
