Waldman Eugene W. Holland 7? Adviser Gregory Jusdanis One-of-a-Kind Program For Vassilis ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am deeply indebted to the many people who have supported me through the long years of graduate education. To my dear parents, Thomas E. and Anna Leontis, I am grateful for their insistence on a bilingual education and love of letters, and to my brother, Neocles Leontis, for sharing dilemmas of assimilation. To numerous friends and colleagues I owe many thanks: to Julian Anderson for advice on language and style; to Susan Ritchie for running commentary on the vagueries of theory; to Brenda Hosey for her cartography of the University bureacracy; to Stephanie Winder for endless conversations about Hellenism; and to Panayotis Bosnakis, Vangelis Calotychos, Van Gegas, Stathis Gourgouris, Martha Klironomos, Eva Konstantellou, Tracy Lord, Nenny Panourgia, Maria Papacostaki, and Charles Stewart—the next wave of Neohellenists—for their willingness to share with me their vast stores of knowledge. Nanos Valaoritis advised me on the specificity of the terms Hellenism and Neohellenism and offered great critical insight into the project of his contemporaries. I also thank Professors Margaret Alexiou, Peter Bien, John Chioles, Michael Herzfeld, and Gregory Nagy for their advice, encouragement, and confidence; Charles L. Babcock, Frederic J. Cadora, and Dean Micheal Riley gave me administrative backing for inter-departmental work and financial backing for my studies in theory. To Stephen V. Tracy I owe some difficult but immensely useful lessons in both the breadth and limits of a Classical education. I have benefited greatly from the attention and attentive readings of three excellent supervisors: Marilyn R. Waldman, who also supported me at a critical time, assisted in the passage of my interdisciplinary proposal for graduate studies, and pointed out at every turn the global implications of my research on Neohellenism; Eugene W. Holland, always a generous, immensely intelligent, and critical teacher and reader; and Gregory Jusdanis, who successfully cultivated an interpretive community of Neohellenic scholars and invested it with his own integrity and intellectual generosity. Finally, I am indebted to Vassilis Lambropoulos, who gently and persuasively pointed out what routes of inquiry there are for thinking and being. This project was supported by a Presidential Fellowship from the Graduate School of the Ohio State University. Some parts of the dissertation were previously published in earlier versions: chapter II in the J o u rn a l o f Modern Greek Studies (May 1990) and chapter IV in The Journal of Modern Greek Studies (May 1991). I would like to thank the editor Ernestine Friedl for her kind attention to my work. Portions of chapter III were delivered at Harvard University in March 1991, chapter IV at the Modern Greek Studies Symposium in October 1989 in Minneapolis, and chapter V at the O.S.U. graduate student conference, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies: The Next Wa w in October 1990. The College of Humanities, Department of Classics, Department of Judaic and Near Eastern Languages and Literatures, Division of Comparative Studies, and Graduate School partially covered travel costs for some of these conferences. iv UlTfl March 13, 1957 .........................................

Tomko Dr. Anthea Kraut Copyright Natalie Zervou 2015 The Dissertation of Natalie Zervou is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgments This dissertation is the result of four years of intensive research, even though I have been engaging with this topic and the questions discussed here long before that. Having been born in Greece, and having lived there till my early twenties, it is the place that holds all my childhood memories, my first encounters with dance, my friends, and my family. From a very early age I remember how I always used to say that I wanted to study dance and then move to the US to pursue my dream. Back then I was not sure what that dream was, other than leaving Greece, where I often felt like I did not belong. Being here now, in the US, I think I found it and I must admit that when I first begun my pursuit in graduate studies in dance, I was very hesitant to engage in research concerning Greece.

    THE B ULGARIAN POLICY TTHE BB ULGARIAN PP OLICY ON THE BB ALKAN CCOUNTRIESAND NN ATIONAL MM INORITIES,, 1878-19121878-1912 Vladimir Paounovsky 1.IN THE NAME OF THE NATIONAL IDEAL The period in the history of the Balkan nations known as the “Eastern Crisis of 1875-1879” determined the international political development in the region during the period between the end of 19th century and the end of World War I (1918). That period was both a time of the consolidation of and opposition to Balkan nationalism with the aim of realizing, to a greater or lesser degree, separate national doctrines and ideals. Forced to maneuver in the labyrinth of contradictory interests of the Great Powers on the Balkan Peninsula, the battles among the Balkan countries for superiority of one over the others, led them either to Pyrrhic victories or defeats. This was particularly evident during the 1912-1913 Balkan Wars (The Balkan War and The Interallied War) and World War I, which was ignited by a spark from the Balkans. The San Stefano Peace Treaty of 3 March, 1878 put an end to the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878). According to the treaty, an independent Bulgarian state was to be founded within the ethnographic borders defined during the Istanbul Conference of December 1876; that is, within the framework of the Bulgarian Exarchate. According to the treaty the only loss for Bulgaria was the ceding of North Dobroujda to Romania as compensa- tion for the return of Bessarabia to Russia. The Congress of Berlin (June 1878), however, re-consid- ered the Peace Treaty and replaced it with a new one in which San Stefano Bulgaria was parceled out; its greater part was put under Ottoman control again while Serbia was given the regions around Pirot and Vranya as a compensation for the occupation of Novi Pazar sancak (administrative district) by Austro-Hun- - 331 - VLADIMIR P AOUNOVSKY gary.

  • Albanian Families' History and Heritage Making at the Crossroads of New
    Voicing the stories of the excluded: Albanian families’ history and heritage making at the crossroads of new and old homes Eleni Vomvyla UCL Institute of Archaeology Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor in Philosophy in Cultural Heritage 2013 Declaration of originality I, Eleni Vomvyla confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature 2 To the five Albanian families for opening their homes and sharing their stories with me. 3 Abstract My research explores the dialectical relationship between identity and the conceptualisation/creation of history and heritage in migration by studying a socially excluded group in Greece, that of Albanian families. Even though the Albanian community has more than twenty years of presence in the country, its stories, often invested with otherness, remain hidden in the Greek ‘mono-cultural’ landscape. In opposition to these stigmatising discourses, my study draws on movements democratising the past and calling for engagements from below by endorsing the socially constructed nature of identity and the denationalisation of memory. A nine-month fieldwork with five Albanian families took place in their domestic and neighbourhood settings in the areas of Athens and Piraeus. Based on critical ethnography, data collection was derived from participant observation, conversational interviews and participatory techniques. From an individual and family group point of view the notion of habitus led to diverse conceptions of ethnic identity, taking transnational dimensions in families’ literal and metaphorical back- and-forth movements between Greece and Albania.

Salahi Sevket sok, No.16, Nicosia/ North Cyprus e-mail: kirlangickultur a gmail.com Turkish Cypriots’ Problem of Identity Historical Overview: The Cyprus Problem was a problem of two conflicting nationalisms (Turkish and Greek), thus was a matter of two opposing imaginations which emerged during the 1950s and lasted until today. The advent of British colonialism in 1878 and political technologies of the colonial rule played a significant role in the emergence of this conflict, especially in the rise of the Greek Cypriot national mobilization for Enosis (union with Greece).1 In the mid-1950s, EOKA2 took up an armed struggle against colonial rule in order to achieve union with Greece and in a very short time this anti- colonial struggle became popular among the Greek Cypriot community under the leadership of the Cypriot Orthodox Church. In fact, the Greek Cypriots’ anti-colonial struggle was interpreted as one for liberation; however, from the angle of the Turkish Cypriots it was a mere disaster since it aimed to assimilate Turkish Cypriots inside the 1 The Enosis movement was part of a greater project of Greek nationalist mythology, the Megali Idea, which was elaborated in the 1840s. The Megali Idea was a belief “in the necessity of building up a greater state of two continents and five seas to cover all Greek speaking Christian Orthodox part of the Byzantine Empire”. This was a type of irredentist policy that was based on the effort to raise ethnic consciousness amongst the ethnos (nation) in the diaspora.
