Grassroots meanings and understandings of crisis in Chalkida, Greece

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
In this paper I analyze how the economic crisis prevailed in the Greek everyday 
reality and expose its grassroots meanings and understandings. My aim it to reveal 
and analyze the multiple definitions crisis acquires on the social ground and how 
people explain the seven-year socio-economic depression brought by the persisting 
economic crisis in Greece. Drawing from selected ethnographic cases from Chalkida, 
Greece, a mid-sized city at the periphery of Athens, I explore the multiple meanings 
crisis and austerity acquires in the social ground and expose the relatedness between 
economic activities and social life. To this extent, I examine the various grassroots 
economic practices, logics and established socio-economics patterns of diversely 
situated people.
