  • 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.

  • Nanos Valaoritis: the Cultural Cross-Breeding of a Cosmopolitan and Protean Writer
    Nanos Valaoritis: The Cultural Cross-Breeding of a Cosmopolitan and Protean Writer Nicole Ollier Journal of Modern Greek Studies, Volume 15, Number 1, May 1997, pp. 29-54 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/mgs.1997.0006 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/21770 Access provided by Brunel University London (4 Jun 2017 15:23 GMT) The Cultural Cross-Breeding of Valaoritis 29 Nanos Valaoritis: The Cultural Cross-Breeding of a Cosmopolitan and Protean Writer Nicole Ollier Abstract Nanos Valaoritis is considered an avant-garde writer chiefly owing to his role in promoting French surrealism in Greece and then in California. Parody, pastiche, collage, and effusive referentiality are ubiquitous in his work, but many of these elements could be considered the tools of postmodernism as well as surrealism. The attraction of two antagonistic poles reorients the poet, who turns toward structuralism, poststructuralism and deconstructionism, while blending easily such strategies as Bakhtinian dialogism and carnivalization. He continues to use intertextuality and theorization, ending up in narcissistic self-referentiality. The avant-garde classification is easily reversed by borrowing Valaoritis’s absurdist syllogisms, so that this pioneer might just as well be the last of a group on the verge of extinction, waiting for the rebirth of yet another avant-garde. …rism°nai l°jeiw, l°jeiw-xrhsmo¤, l°jeiw •n≈sevw ècidvt∞w ka¤ korufa¤aw, l°jeiw m° shmas¤an éprosm°trhton diã tÒ

    205 CATERINA CARPINATO PER UN’ANTOLOGIA DELLA POESIA GRECA CONTEMPORANEA SCHEDA BIOBIBLIOGRAFIA DI ANDREAS EMBIRIKOS E SCELTA DI TESTI* SCHEDA BIOGRAFICA Figlio di Leonidas Embirikos e Stefania Kidonieu (russa da parte di madre), Andreas nasce a Braila, in Romania, il due settembre del 1901. * Poeti greci del Novecento doveva essere il titolo di un’antologia che preparavo da anni per un’im- portante casa editrice milanese. Il lavoro, complesso e impegnativo, ha attraversato varie fasi fino quasi a giungere ad un punto di arrivo: l’antologia – che inizialmente comprendeva circa un’ottanti- na poeti con una selezione di testi non particolarmente ampia – avrebbe dovuto presentarsi al pub- blico in modo completamente diverso. Dopo aver allestito la editio maior avevo cominciato l’opera di sintesi che alla fine comprendeva solo 16 poeti (da Palamàs fino alla generazione del Settanta): i quattro grandi poeti – noti anche ai non specialisti di poesia greca moderna – (Kavafis, Seferis, Ritsos ed Elitis) e pochi altri autori, rappresentati e scelti secondo un criterio personale (come avviene in ogni opera del genere). Ogni poeta scelto si sarebbe presentato al pubblico italiano con una selezione di versi piuttosto ampia (almeno trenta-quaranta testi poetici) per poter consentire una visione quanto più possibile completa dell’opera complessiva dell’autore prescelto. Oltre alla scheda biografica, bibliografica (con particolare riguardo alla produzione scientifica accademica italiana ed alle precedenti traduzioni pubblicate nella nostra lingua) ogni autore sarebbe stato pre- sentato da un ricco apparato di testi in originale e traduzione, con ampie note. Avevo individuato il destinatario ideale di questo progetto nel lettore di poesia del Novecento (ma anche nel nostro pubblico studentesco che si ritrova nelle aule universitarie senza strumenti didattici specifici e senza le conoscenze linguistiche e culturali che possano rendergli facilmente accessibili per la conoscenza diretta del patrimonio letterario greco moderno).

  • Nanos Valaoritis a Memoir When I Arrived in London in Sept. 1944, I
    Nanos Valaoritis A Memoir When I arrived in London in Sept. 1944, I had two letters of introduction from the poet George Seferis, known then mainly in Greece, apart from a translation in John Lehmann's New Writing and ‘Daylight’ by George Katsimbalis and five poems of Lawrence Durrell, one to the aforementioned J. Lehmann and another to Cyril Connolly both of whom he had met on a mission to London from Cairo, where he served in the exiled Greek Government. I had chosen to go to London when in Cairo earlier. Seferis had given me a choice: to return to Athens with the Government, or to go to London in a minor position in the Greek Embassy and serve as an intermediary for the modernist Greek Poets unknown then in England. While in Cairo I saw again my friend Bernard Spencer, and other poets and writers like Robin Fedden, who produced the magazine, Personal Landscape. I had missed Durrell who was in Alexandria. Bernard and Larry had introduced me while in Athens to the modernist English poets of New Verse, and supplied me with books by Auden, Spender, MacNeice, Cecil Day Lewis, Dylan Thomas and others. T.S. Eliot was the only poet already known in Greece mainly through the translations of George Seferis and his lengthy introduction to the Waste Land, which served as the modernist manifesto for Greek poetry of the Thirties. I had been a junior member of this group since 1939 when I was first published in the prestigious modernist review Ta Nea Grammata (New Letters), at the age of 18.

  • Modern Greek Literature's Intersections
    Modern Greek Literature’s Intersections with Greek History and the Past: A Concise Outline Nektaria Klapaki, University of Washington Abstract Keywords The first part of this paper is a concise outline of some of the ways Modern Greek literature; ancient in which modern Greek literature has entered into a dialogue Greece; Byzantium; modern Greek with Greek history and the past from the nineteenth century to history; modern Greek ideology. the present by idealizing, Hellenizing, suppressing, inventing, negotiating, critiquing, or reinterpreting and re-inventing them. Along these lines, the paper weaves together different literary, ide- ological, and historical threads which help the readers realize that the topics examined by the ensuing papers of this Special Issue do not emerge out of a vacuum, but instead constitute responses to— or have been prompted by—concrete developments in the realms of modern Greek literature, ideology, and history. The second part of the paper delineates the Special Issue’s specific focus, scope, aims, approach and methodology, while summarizing the main argu- ments and contributions of each of the individual papers. JMH 34 (2019): Special Issue JMH 34 (2019): Special Issue Articles: Nektaria Klapaki Any attempt today to argue that a key feature of modern Greek literature is its persistent, almost incessant dialogue with Greek history and the past would amount to a cliché, in view of the consid- erable scholarly attention already given to the multiple manifestations, forms, and configurations of this dialogue.
