Romiossini: Trans-culturalism in Dimitris Hadzis' "Double Book".

Abstract

Please note: this article is in Greek. The aim of this paper is to show the intercultural elements present in the novel "Double Book" written by Dimitris Chatzis. The starting point is the concept of “the Greek Nation”, which is a key objective in the work. Although this concept is central, other studies have hardly focused on it. Therefore, before searching for the intercultural elements of the work, the dimensions of the very concept of “Greek Nation” will be examined. My position is that, while the work promotes an essentialist concept of the Greek character, the narrator's inability to present certain aspects of this concept refutes this essentialist mood. Instead, certain intercultural elements are promoted, which render the work a pioneer for its time
