Lampros Flitouris

Lampros Flitouris serves as an Associate Professor (Maître de Conférences) in European History at the University of Ioannina, Greece, while concurrently holding a Lecturer position at the Open University of Greece. His primary institutional affiliation is with the Institute of Cultural and International Studies (IECI) and the Laboratory for the Cultural History of Contemporary Societies (CHCSC) at Paris-Saclay University, where he conducts research within the university's humanities framework. His academic profile spans both Greek and French academic institutions, reflecting his transnational research focus.

Flitouris specializes in the history of international cultural relations, with particular emphasis on 19th-20th century European history, propaganda mechanisms, cultural imperialism, and the political history of contemporary events. His current research project examines the cultural dimensions of the Dreyfus Affair across Europe, analyzing how this pivotal event shaped transnational perceptions and diplomatic interactions. His methodological approach integrates visual history with political analysis, especially regarding historical imagery and its manipulation in statecraft.

Analysis of his recent publications (2015-2020) reveals consistent thematic threads: Franco-Greek cultural diplomacy during critical historical junctures, the transformation of Southeastern European societies through cultural exchange, and the construction of national identities through sports and popular culture. His work demonstrates particular expertise in how cultural institutions like the French School of Athens served as diplomatic instruments, and how events like the Greek Civil War continue to influence contemporary political discourse through cinematic representation and memorial practices.

Flitouris actively contributes to scholarly networks including the Association for the Development of Cultural History, the Civil War Research Network, the Friends of the Literary and Historical Archives of Greece, André Malraux's International Friendship Association, and the International Association of Scholars of Popular Literature and Media Culture. His research is institutionally anchored in the CHCSC laboratory, which focuses on interdisciplinary investigations of modern cultural phenomena through historical methodologies.
