  • Marxist Thinking on Greekness and Class in Rebetika
    ‘Forbidden Fruits’ and the Communist Paradise: Marxist Thinking on Greekness and Class in Rebetika YIANNIS ZAIMAKIS No matter what the earth will turn red […] We will make sure of that 1 Introduction A deep-seated belief in the inevitable advent of a utopian communist society prompted the Greek Leftist intelligentsia to pave the way for the oncoming radical transformation of society, rescuing people from the “jail” of capitalist injustice. Considering themselves the avant-garde of the progressive movement, leaders of Marxist opinion had the strong sense that it was their duty to “humanize the masses” 2 and to inculcate class-consciousness among the proletariat. Invoking various antithetical and evolutionary schemes, they were involved in a furious debate amongst intellectuals of all political inclinations about the cultural character of Greek identity—a debate that lasted from the late interwar period to the mid-1980s, and, to some extent, persists today. In this essay, I examine rebetika texts drawn from the plethora of the writings that have been published in numerous dailies, magazines, and books since the 1930s. Some of them have been re-printed in later studies or collections. 3 The publication of the Vlisidis’s anthology of rebetika texts with 2396 references and brief descriptions of relevant writing has increased the availability of such sources. 4 Furthermore, I rely upon Vlisidis’s well-documented study of the discourse of the Greek Left. 5 It is an important reference for scholarly work on rebetika , which has proliferated during the last decades. 6 I wish to thank the rebetologist Kostas Vlisidis for his interesting advice and the litterateur Margarita Antoniou for her constructive comments on this paper.

Though the Moiroloi meaning of this typical phrase seems to be inexplicable, nonetheless as Musical speech a general feeling it is shared by most of the people in the field. Starting from the Epirot instrumental ‘moiroloi’, extensive field research Lament-song reveals that many vocal practices considered by former researchers to Symbolic meaning be imitations of instrumental musical practices, are in fact, definite lament vocal practices-cries, embodied and reformed in different ways Collective memory in other musical contexts and serving in this way different social purposes.

  • How the Turks of the Peloponnese Were Exterminated During the Greek Rebellion
    HOW THE TURKS OF THE PELOPONNESE WERE EXTERMINATED DURING THE GREEK REBELLION SALÂH~~ R SONYEL Russo-Greek intrigues The peninsula of the Peloponnese (in southern Greece), which is also known as the Morea, was first partly conquered in 1397 CE by the Ottoman Sultan Beyazit I from the Byzantines, and was completely overrun in 1460 by Sultan Mehmet II, who was received as a deliverer by the Greek Orthodox Christian population, then suffering under the rule of the Roman Catholics'. In 1698 the Ottomans were complled to cede the Peloponnese to the Venetians, under the Treaty of Carlowitz, but in 1718 it was retroceded to the Ottoman Empire under the Treaty of Passarowitz2. According to the late Professor Dr. Douglas Dakin, who was an expert on the history of modern Greece: "This renewed Turkish rule the inhabitants found preferable to that of the Venetians; taxes were lighter; the adminisn-ation was less efficient and therefore less harsh; and the (Ottoman) infidel was much more tolerant than the Roman Catholic"3. The Ottomans established a province (pa~ahk) in the Peloponnese, the Greek population of which was about 400,000, gradually augmented by about 50,000 Turks and other Muslims. Despite the comfortable and easy life which the Greeks, especially those living in urban areas, led, they began to intrigue with the Russians during the reign of Tsar Peter the Mad. These intrigues, which aimed at the resurrection of the Byzantine Empire, continued under Empress Catherine II during whose reign Russian agents roamed the countryside in the Peloponnese, inciting the people to rebellion 4.

  • Wood Research Short Note Physical and Mechanical
    WOOD RESEARCH 58 (1): 2013 xx-xx SHORT NOTE PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF BEECH WOOD HARVESTED IN THE GREEK PUBLIC FORESTS Michalis Skarvelis, George I. Mantanis Technological Education Institute of Larissa, Department of Wood and Furniture Design and Technology, Laboratory of Wood Technology Karditsa, Greece (Received December 2010) ABSTRACT This work reports on the properties of beech wood, one of the most important hardwood species, harvested in the Greek public forests. The physical and mechanical properties of two beech species, namely Fagus sylvatica L. and Fagus orientalis Lipsky, were investigated on samples originating from four different natural forests located in the central, northwest and northeast Greece (Larisa, Metsovo, Kastoria, Xanthi). The properties studied were dry density, shrinkage (axial, radial, tangential), Janka hardness, static bending, longitudinal and cross-sectional compression, shear, cleavage and impact strength. Metsovo’s originating Fagus sylvatica wood showed the highest dry density (0.66 g.cm-3), while beech wood from Xanthi (Fagus orientalis) exhibited the lowest one (0.60 g.cm-3). The mean width of annual rings varied from 2.03 to 2.28 mm, noticeably not in accord with the respective densities. Radial shrinkage was found to be 5.46 % on the average; mean tangential and volumetric shrinkage was 9.93 % and 15.08 %, respectively. In regard to the mechanical properties, mean values for static bending, Janka hardness, compression parallel to the grain, compression perpendicular to the grain, shear, impact bending and cleavage of beech wood were found to be 105.49, 48.54, 55.43, 11.96, 14.85, 784.35 and 26.45 N.mm-2, respectively.
