Dissidence sociale et identités culturelles en Grèce au XIXe siècle
Abstracts
Until 1830 and the constitution of the Greek State, the clephtes enjoyed high social status, but were later regarded as common criminals. This reversal is due to the transfer of legitimacy that took place around 1830: under the Ottomans, civil society (the Greek peasantry) and political society (the authorities) complementarily thanks to the principle of autonomy. The social bandit, who was then a true local notable, found its place as a mediator between the two poles. However, the arrival of Bavarians made him useless and dangerous. The figure of clephte was thus perpetuated in the popular mentality undergoing distortion: he was now a model of social resistance, legitimized by illegal actions against new social order.
