About the image:Coffeehouse interior in highland Sfakia, 2010.

Coffeehouses are central to Sfakian men’s traditionalist claims, especially regarding the offering of public hospitality, and to commercial depictions of “the village” (e.g. on postcards). At the same time, coffeehouses may be contested locally on the grounds of their androcentrism and alleged excesses of conviviality (in the form of e.g. drinking and gossiping). Today, views of village sociality beyond the coffeehouse have become particularly visible thanks to young women’s digital photographs on social media. The map, adorned here with a set of beads (komboloi) that further speaks to a traditionalist framing, may occasionally spark discussions among customers about politics in Greece and the wider region. Maps of this type are commonly found in school classrooms.

Konstantinos Kalantzis is an anthropologist and photographer whose ethnographic practice incorporates cameras and the visual as key means of grasping social experience.
