We chose the Acropolis Museum, as a new, emerging cultural organization in the European periphery which engages in public actions, in the form of symbolic initiatives, in order to set a specific cultural agenda for Greek and international media. We scrutinize seven symbolic initiatives publicized by the museum, as attributes that influence media content. We conclude that development of cultural/educational services, advertising and marketing, visitor/customer relations, partnerships, symbolic actions, special events, and supporting services constitute significant cultural attributes, which strategically become a part of the media agenda, thereby contributing toward the building of a museum agenda.

Enjoying the holistic experience inspired by the natural and cultural landscape, the viewer is unaware of past controversies about the mu- seum’s location, and is certain that is the right place to be for anyone wishing to admire the ancient monument together with its architectur- al sculptures.

I would also like to thank Eleonora Skouteri–Didaskalou a gifted academic who tried to teach me more than ten years ago what anthropology is and why studying it entails a kind of magic.

Money’s invisible prisons 10. The hidden side of the oligarchs New media empires are emerging in Turkey, China, Russia and India, often with the blessing of the political authorities. Their owners exercise strict control over news and opinion, putting them in the service of their governments. 16. Oligarchs who came in from the cold During Russian capitalism’s crazy initial years, a select few were able to take advantage of privatization, including the privatization of news media. But only media empires that are completely loyal to the Kremlin have been able to survive since Vladimir Putin took over. 22. Can a politician be a regular media owner? In public life, how can you be both an actor and an objective observer at the same time? Obviously you cannot, not without conflicts of interest. Nonetheless, politicians who are also media owners are to be found eve- rywhere, even in leading western democracies such as Canada, Brazil and in Europe. And they seem to think that these conflicts of interests are not a problem. 28. The royal whim In the Arab world and India, royal families and industrial dynasties have created or acquired enormous media empires with the sole aim of magnifying their glory and prestige.

  • The Evacuation of the Idomeni Refugee Camp: a Case of Discursive and Iconographical Representation on Digital Media
    Athens Journal of Mediterranean Studies XY The Evacuation of the Idomeni Refugee Camp: A Case of Discursive and Iconographical Representation on Digital Media By Andrea Pelliccia By using the Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis, this paper focuses on the visual and textual representation of refugees in the online version of two influential newspapers in Greece. The analysis examines the particularities and significance of news coverage of a critical event in Greece and Europe during 2016 that is the evacuation of the Idomeni refugee camp. The results show that in the media representation of refugees and asylum seekers, cultural clichés and the perpetuation of an essentialist discourse emerge systematically in a vicious circle. Through their representational frames, both newspapers reveal a tendency to more a homogenization of views and explanations than to provide a plurality of opinions. Using an institutional and generalist approach based on monodimensional formats, they thus contribute to perpetuating a dispositive suitable for pre-existing social representations and stereotypes. Keywords: Idomeni refugee camp, migrants’ representation, online newspapers, refugee crisis. Introduction: Research Objective and Methodological Approach The choice of online media is due to the fact that they are now part of the social, economic and cultural life of many societies, and are accessible to public, and are different from print-based newspapers, while reaching a younger audience (Newman et al. 2016). On the one hand, online newspapers tend to reproduce journalism culture of printed newspapers with their approach to storytelling, in values and relationship with readers. On the other hand, technological features of online platform – hypertext, interactivity, multimedia – have implications for the entire media production process (Deuze 2003): electronic consultation – due to the variety of textual typologies, consultation modes, and contextual elements – configures a new and specific system compared to paper-based newspapers.

  • What the Neighbor to the West Says Greek–Turkish Relations
    6 What the neighbor to the west says Greek–Turkish relations It is only in a foreign Land that you can understand that Greeks are your long lost brothers.1 There is nothing quite like a good quarrel with the United States or a crisis with Turkey, The Economist once commented, to persuade the Greeks to support their government;2 something the violent demonstrations during President Clinton’s visit to Athens in November 1999 certainly confirmed. There is a seeming unanimity in Greece over their country’s policies towards Washington and Ankara. However, unlike their uneasy, volatile relations with the United States, which tend to flare up at times of crisis, the Greeks are preoccupied with Turkey to the point of obsession. Their age-old conflict with their neighbor to the east absorbs them more than any other foreign policy issue. Considered a priority, Greek newspapers devote more column space to Turkey and related issues than to any of their European counterparts. Not so the Turkish press, which ranks the Greek–Turkish conflict only sixteenth in order of importance.3 It is a telling difference, representative of other spheres where the two coun- tries differ in terms of their perception and response to events. Take, for example, the 1919–22 war. In Turkey, the war, which replaced the old Ottoman-Islamic loyalties with a new national consciousness, is seen as a war of liberation and patriotic resurgence.4 In Greece, it is regarded as the greatest tragedy of modern times, a disaster, which wiped out 2000 years of Greek presence in Asia Minor.
