Abstract

This paper discusses the problem of the historiographical construction of the concept of polis, using as strategy the analysis of the historiographical treatment to the subject of the inclusion/exclusion of the resident aliens (metics) in the Classical Athenian polis. Six models are proposed: the religious city, the consumer-stamental city, the modern city, the class city, the institutional city, and the philosophical-existential city; after that, the paper discusses some recent historiographical alternatives.
