Abstract
Drawing on the case-study of the 2006–2007 controversy over the history textbook edited by Maria Repousi, this chapter discusses one of the major debates on memories of Asia Minor in the Greek public sphere. By engaging with the arguments for and against the book, as well as by tracing this debate’s afterlives, the chapter shows both the stakes that the Greco-Turkish War presents in contemporary Greece and the ways in which this war intertwines with and speaks to other present-day concerns. Drawing on Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s concept of paranoid reading, the chapter ultimately argues that, if we are to fully grasp the dynamics through which memories circulate, we need to take into account the emotions evoked by any one memory.
