| contents | We are an image from the future’: Reading back the Athens 2008 riots Rosa Vasilaki Educación State Riots Greece Athens 2008 On the 6 th of December 2008, a police officer shot de ad a teenager in Ex archeia, a central area in Athens. Within hours, the reactions turned into riots spreading ac ross Athens. The Athens 2008 riots marked the beginning of the end of the years of affluence in Greece, which culminated symbolically with the 2004 Olympic Games. This paper proposes to read the Dece mber 2008 events back and ask to what extent these riots – symbolised by a graffiti on a wall in Athens saying ‘we are an image from the future’ - were a harbinger of the Gr eek crisis and of the generalised civil unrest which ensued and peaked between 2010-2012. With police data cl aiming that over 26,000 demonstr ations have taken place across Greece since the December 2008 riot s, civil unrest seems to have become endemic in the country, symptomatic of a crisis that is not on ly economic and social, but also political in the sense of the crisis of legitimacy of the State, its representatives and its institutions. 2017 artículo científico 2178-5198 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=303350428005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3033/303350428005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3033/303350428005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3033/303350428005/303350428005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3033/303350428005/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3033 Acta Scientiarum.
