Iστορία ως άπειρα ενδεχόμενα - παρελθόν ως άπειρες ερμηνείες. | Stavros Panagiotidis | TEDxZakynthos
Ο Σταύρος Παναγιωτίδης μέσα από μύθους και αλήθειες για την ελληνική ιστορία μας έφερε σε επαφή με ερμηνείες και παρερμηνείες. Με μυθεύματα και επιστημονικά τεκμήρια.
Μας εξήγησε ότι οι ιστορικοί μύθοι γεννιούνται μέσα από την ανάγκη ανθρώπων και εξουσιών να κάνουν ένα επιτυχημένο προξενιό ανάμεσα στο παρελθόν και στο παρόν τους.
Ποιος είναι ο ρόλος του κράτους στη διαμόρφωση της ιστορικής αντίληψης; Ποιος είναι ο ρόλος του παρόντος στη διάπλαση της ιστορικής πραγματικότητας.
Με εξαιρετική άνεση να παρουσιάζει αλήθειες και μύθους μας προκάλεσε να έχουμε μια σκωπτική ματιά απέναντι στην ιστορία. Stavros Panagiotidis was born in 1982 in Thessaloniki and lives in Athens.
