Abstract

This article explores the political languages which Greek revolutionaries employed between roughly 1821 and 1828, and the multiple ways in which these languages found their way into the political projects they put into force (or sought to do so). It does so by considering the revolution as an open-ended political crisis during which revolutionaries were forced to address – theoretically and practically – the fundamental issues of political power: its source, its location and its organisation. As it shows, the frameworks for political action (or “scripts”) the revolutionaries drew on varied and fed into alternative visions of statehood (national, federal, local). By uncovering and understanding these alternatives, as well as why some predominated over others, the article aims to: propose an alternative genealogy of “the political” in the Greek revolution; shed new light on the liberalism(s) of the Revolution; and bring the perspective of the Greek world into the discussion about the importance of the revolutionary wave of the 1820s.
“合则存,分则亡”:1821-1828年希腊革命时期的主权与政府
本文探讨了希腊革命者在大约1821年至1828年间使用的政治语言,以及这些语言在他们实施(或试图这样做)的政治计划中找到自己的方式。它将革命视为一场无止境的政治危机,在此期间,革命者被迫从理论上和实践上解决政治权力的基本问题:权力的来源、位置和组织。正如它所显示的那样,革命者所借鉴的政治行动框架(或“脚本”)是多种多样的,并融入了不同的建国愿景(国家、联邦、地方)。通过揭示和理解这些选择,以及为什么一些人凌驾于其他人之上,本文旨在:提出希腊革命中“政治”的另一种谱系;对革命时期的自由主义有了新的认识;并将希腊世界的观点引入到19世纪20年代革命浪潮的重要性的讨论中。
