摘要

Despite its idiosyncratic features, the experience of the Greek crisis of the 2010s was decisively shaped by discourses articulated at the global, European, and national levels. While numerous sociological accounts have explored the spatio-temporal continuities and discontinuities of the crisis, few scholars have employed the concept of trauma to make sense of what changed and what remained the same, before and after the default. From a psychosocial perspective, this is a missed opportunity, not least because trauma is a boundary and thus enigmatic concept that, rather than typifying change, seeks to illuminate the interconnections between past and present, self and other, memory and practice. Drawing on 91 life story interviews conducted between 2020 and 2023, the paper examines the trauma of the Greek crisis, with a particular focus on its often-overlooked class-related manifestations.
