| Summary: | This paper explores the Onassis Foundation’s transformative impact on
C.P. Cavafy’s legacy by bridging traditional literary heritage with
contemporary digital culture. Through strategic digitization, global
events, and social media campaigns, the Foundation has expanded
Cavafy’s reach, reframing him as both a cultural asset and a networked
figure for contemporary audiences. The study examines how this
institutional approach shapes perceptions of Cavafy’s work, balancing
authenticity with celebrity-making, and considers the implications for
Modern Greek literature’s visibility on the global stage. |
