ISBN 0-933824-20-3 ISSN 0577-5574 OURS ONCE MORE: Folklore, Ideology, and the Making of Modern Greece by MICHAEL HERZFELD Originally published in 1982, by the University of Texas Press COWINNER OF THE 1981-82 CHICAGO FOLKLORE PRIZE " ... an important contribution to intellectual history ... It should be required reading for anyone interested in the study of modern Greece." IRWIN T. SANDERS, Journal of Modern Greek Studies "Apart from its value as a unique and insightful reading of both folklore history and ethnohistorical development, Herzfeld's book rep­ resents an exciting methodological step forward in folklore studies." Choice "Even though this book deals with its central themes within fairly precise limits, it is packed with illuminating detail; and its interest is not confined solely to the area of folklore studies since, as the author rightly suggests, the attitudes which emerge in the context of this argument are also of more general significance. Apart from documenting a fascinating story of the reciprocal influence of politics and scholarship in the last century, the book throws an always sympathetic and often humorous light on many aspects of the thinking of the Greeks about themselves in the present day." JULIET DU BOULAY, Times Literary Supplement (T.L.S.) " ... admirably nuanced ·and ·thoughtful ... not only a history of modern Greek folklore, but also an excellent introduction to modern Greek culture." KosTAS KAzAZIS, Anthropological Linguistics " ... ·the book clearly establishes the seminal importance of folklore studies for a full understanding of modern Greek culture and history." PETER ALLEN, American Anthropologist " ... important and bold insights ... touches upon significant aspects of Greek culture that village ethnographies are too narrow to encompass."

Out of the hundreds of worthy poets that flourished in modem Greece, Ritsos is one of the outstanding few, on a level with Cavafy, Seferis and Elytis. The poet of Romiosini, Epitaphios and Lianotragouda is well-known by every Greek, especially since his unique poetry was set to music by Mikis Theodorakis. But as his work has become increasingly available to more people through translation in various languages, his repu­ tation has grown all over the world. Thirty years ago, the poet Louis Aragon wrote that, reading Ritsos' poetry, he experienced "the violent shaking of genius," and referred to him as "the greatest living poet of our time." Ritsos is the recipient of several international awards and has been nominated a number of times for the Nobel Prize. "When Pablo Neruda was nominated for the Nobel, he said that he knew "of someone better qualified for this honor: Yannis Ritsos." English translations of his works have appeared in many literary journals and poetry anthologies, some by well-known translators such as Kimon Friar, Edmund Keeley and Peter Bien. The CHARIOTEER previously presented Ritsos' poems in translation, but not until now, has a complete issue been dedicated to his work, including not only translations of his poems but critical essays about them. An aspect of Ritsos' poetry that should be mentioned here is its so-called "political" nature. Ritsos has indeed written several poems that are patently political, devoted to the leftist cause. But to characterize Ritsos as a political or social poet, as is

    Boxes, Inkwells, Speech and Formulas DRAFT

    Boxes, Inkwells, Speech and Formulas DRAFT Richard J. Fateman March 10, 2006 1 Introduction This paper sets out some designs for entering mathematical formulas into a computer system. An initial approach to this task suggests that the previous model, namely writing mathematics on paper or chalkboard, should lead to a natural computer system using a stylus for writing on a tablet. For feedback and for presentation such as in this paper, we use the typesetting capabilities of Knuth’s TEX system to show how “properly typeset” expressions might appear. We use TEX here to show our design for an interactive input scheme, under implementation. For this to work, an interactive system must make expressions appear approximately in the same sequences as illustrated, on a computer display. The solid color boxes that appear in the incomplete forms are intended as invitations for the user to continue writing out a formula, continuing from within one of those boxes. Think of them as “virtual inkwells.” For example, an attempt to write a superscript must begin by dipping the stylus (or mouse) in the superscript inkwell. An attempt to write an operand adjacent to an existing must begin in that inkwell. Initiating writing elsewhere on the screen will have no proper ink and will not contribute to the formula entry. We also point out that speaking the terms, rather than writing them, may provide more accurate communication. At this point we suggest you look ahead a page or two to see some pictures of inkwells. 1.1 Why Inkwells? This ink-well-based constrained input provides an obvious basis for cooperation between the human entering a formula and the supporting computer program.

  • Issues of Gender Representation in Modern Greek Art the Case of Thaleia Flora-Caravia’S Photographic Images and Self-Portraits

    Issues of Gender Representation in Modern Greek Art the Case of Thaleia Flora-Caravia’S Photographic Images and Self-Portraits

    p Issues of Gender Representation in Modern Greek Art The Case of Thaleia Flora-Caravia’s Photographic Images and Self-Portraits Despoina Tsourgianni ABSTRACT There is a recent trend, mainly in the fi eld of historiography but also in art history, toward the exploration of female autobiographical discourse, whether it concerns writ- ten (autobiographies, correspondence), painted (self-portraits), or photographic data. On the basis of the highly fruitful gender perspective, this article seeks to present and interpret the numerous photographs of the well-known Greek painter Thaleia Flora- Caravia. These photographic recordings, taken almost exclusively from the painter’s unpublished personal archive, are inextricably linked to the artist’s self-portraits. This kind of cross-examination allows the reader to become familiar with the mosaic of roles and identities that constitutes the subjectivity of female artists in Greece in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. KEYWORDS: autobiography, female artist, modern Greek art, photography, self-portrait p Introduction No opening words could be more appropriate to introduce a study on twentieth- century artist representation than the verses of Rainer Maria Rilke on the painter Paula Modersohn-Becker: So free of curiosity your gaze had become, so unpossessive, of such true poverty, it no longer desired even you yourself; it wanted nothing: holy.1 aspasia Volume 13, 2019: 31–64 doi:10.3167/asp.2019.130105 32 DESPOINA TSOURGIANNI It is of key importance to note the way in which this emblematic poet of modernity perceives the ideal depiction of oneself: as one being stripped of any vanity that leads to the beautifi cation of physical characteristics.

    Transplanting Surrealism in Greece- a Scandal Or Not?

    International Journal of Social and Educational Innovation (IJSEIro) Volume 2 / Issue 3/ 2015 Transplanting Surrealism in Greece- a Scandal or Not? NIKA Maklena University of Tirana, Albania E-mail: [email protected] Received 26.01.2015; Accepted 10.02. 2015 Abstract Transplanting the surrealist movement and literature in Greece and feedback from the critics and philological and journalistic circles of the time is of special importance in the history of Modern Greek Literature. The Greek critics and readers who were used to a traditional, patriotic and strictly rule-conforming literature would find it hard to accept such a kind of literature. The modern Greek surrealist writers, in close cooperation mainly with French surrealist writers, would be subject to harsh criticism for their surrealist, absurd, weird and abstract productivity. All this reaction against the transplanting of surrealism in Greece caused the so called “surrealist scandal”, one of the biggest scandals in Greek letters. Keywords: Surrealism, Modern Greek Literature, criticism, surrealist scandal, transplanting, Greek letters 1. Introduction When Andre Breton published the First Surrealist Manifest in 1924, Greece had started to produce the first modern works of its literature. Everything modern arrives late in Greece due to a number of internal factors (poetic collection of Giorgios Seferis “Mythistorima” (1935) is considered as the first modern work in Greek literature according to Αlexandros Argyriou, History of Greek Literature and its perception over years between two World Wars (1918-1940), volume Α, Kastanioti Publications, Athens 2002, pp. 534-535). Yet, on the other hand Greek writers continued to strongly embrace the new modern spirit prevailing all over Europe.
