Summary/Abstract: The article discusses media events in the context of Greece before the rise of Syriza. Contemporary cases of political violence have been instrumentalized as a “war against anomie”. This makes it possible to analyze its highly medialised context, within which the discourse of an emergency situation has been formulated in Greece. The article discusses the broad impact of media events on voters outside of Athens, with particular attention being paid to the hunger strike chance of a young anarchist named Nikos Romanos, the media coverage of which serves as an example of counter-hegemonic media practices.
