Abstract
The introductory chapter surveys the semantics of the word local in modern languages as well as in ancient Greek, and also in conceptual debates about connectivity. From these remarks emerges a new notion of the local: it is presented as a substantiated life world that is energized by everyday custom and culture. Drawing on a strong identity of place, the local horizon is a canvas as rich as the human experience itself. The subsequent section fleshes out a first ancient case-study, that of the city of Phlious in the Peloponnese, that illustrates the key paradigms and analytical principles that guide the investigation throughout. The following section extends the conceptual framework. Beyond more expressive dimensions of localism, for instance in local pottery styles, this part of the chapter discusses the deep frame of the local as it transpires in scholarship on neighborhoods and the urban space matrix, archaeologies of home, and research on the so-called brain GPS in the Neurosciences. Based on the findings of multiple disciplines and fields, the chapter concludes with a full-fledged conceptualization that highlights both the physical and imagined qualities of the local in ancient Greece.
