Abstract:
A journalist’s comment, an abstract from a play-script and references to the culture of literary cafés offer instances of a certain self-fashioning of early-twentieth century intellectuals in Athens. It seems that part of their identification as a class relied heavily ontheir making themselves seen as intellectuals and on juxtaposing their whole bodily and sensory disposition to that of the bourgeois. The concept of visibility catalyses our understanding of the modern regime of social signification that rendered possible thecreation of a self-conscious and temporarily separate, “sincere” and “hard working”, élitist national guard.
