This two-volume work brings together studies focusing on the Greek realities of class as they appear in and through the Greek media realm. Critically engaging with traditions of class analysis, it brings to light various class perspectives and their explanatory power for the Greek context. In doing so, it embraces intersectional approaches that study class structures in their co-constructions/co-articulations with other forms of social organization and identification, such as race, ethnicity, gender, religion, geography and labor. Instead of providing clear-cut definitions, the chapters reveal the complexities and relationalities of class cultures and classed selves in their making. Volume one brings forth studies concerned with intersectional questions of class, notions of otherness, and forms of exclusion as they appear in popular media genres over a variety of social issues. Further, the volume also deals with class-related issues connected to the study of reactionary, far-right, and racist content advancing in Greek public spheres.
