Description
This scholarly examination explores post-19th-century Athens as a distinctive case study in metropolitan capitalism, investigating how modern antiquity functions as a hidden dialectic between past and present. The book analyses one of Europe's great capital cities-a metropolis never intended as a modern capital-through its architectural representations, revealing the concealed processes behind reconstructing historical narratives. By studying how antiquity has been appropriated to celebrate European capitalist metropolitan modernity, this work exposes the ideological tensions embedded in urban development and architectural theory. Published by Routledge as part of the Visual Modernities series, it offers critical insights into the relationship between heritage, architecture, and contemporary urban identity in Athens.
