Since then it has become the leading American research and teaching institution in Greece, and indeed it is the largest of all the American overseas research centers. Today, the School pursues a multifaceted mission to advance knowledge of Greece from antiquity to the present day, including its connections with other areas of the ancient and early modern world, by train- ing young scholars, conducting and promoting archaeological fieldwork, providing resources for scholarly work, and disseminating research. The ASCSA is also charged by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports with primary responsibility for all American archaeological research, and is actively engaged in supporting the investigation, preservation, and presentation of Greece’s cultural heritage.

  • The First World War and the Refugee Crisis
    The First World War is at the core of most na- The First tional historiographical narratives, including those of many European countries, the US, World War and Australia and New Zealand. Its centenary has proven that it is a global event.1 Nevertheless, the refugee crisis: is the same event commemorated on the spec- trum of the respective national narratives? A historiography close examination of different national narra- tives that have developed around the Great War and memory in the suggests that it may be more accurate to speak of a range of “great wars” that were fought in Greek context the 1910s rather than of a single, homogenous event that was understood, received and, most importantly, remembered in the same way by all the groups involved. In Greece, one of the major consequences of the First World War was the Greek-Turkish War of 1919–1922, the disaster in Asia Minor and the ensuing refugee crisis. It is a memory that has overshadowed the memory of the Great War, serving as a lens through which both the events that preceded and proceeded the military defeat of 1922 were interpreted. The evacuation of the Greek population of Asia Minor in 1922 is one of Emilia Salvanou the main lieux de memoire in the Greek national Hellenic Open University narrative. Asia Minor refugees are perceived as the archetypical victims of a supposed pri- mordial Greek-Turkish enmity – a concept deeply woven into the founding myths of the Greek nation – that culminated after Greece’s defeat in Anatolia. The way they are constructed histo- riographically does not differ very much: they are contextualised within the framework of Greece’s campaign in Asia Minor in 1919, the ensuing Greek-Turkish War and Greece’s mili- tary defeat.

It focuses on the early period, particularly the works of Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu and Halide Edip Adıvar in Turkey and Elias Venezis in Greece. It seeks to show the way themes were selected and then used or adapted to reflect more contemporary concerns.

Published version of the paper reproduced here with permission from the publisher. Never to Return: Migration and Old Age in Venezis’s “The State of Virginia” Stamatia Dova This paper discusses Ilias Venezis’s short story “The State of Virginia” with special emphasis on the themes of migration and old age. Published in 1954, in the aftermath of WWII and the Greek Civil War, “The State of Virginia” captures the drama of an elderly woman victim of the Asia Minor Catastrophe, as she is migrating to Virginia, U.S.A. after thirty years of temporary residence in a refugee village in rural Attica. My analysis focuses on the protagonist’s reluctant migration as it emerges from the farewell scene between her and her life-long friend; their conversation on the irreversibility of their separation, the challenges facing elderly migrants, and the significance of native soil voices an insightful discourse on belonging and rootedness that transcends many socio-temporal limits. In 1954 Ilias Venezis, internationally acclaimed author of Number 31328 (Τὸ Νούμερο 31328, 1931), Tranquillity (Γαλήνη, 1939), and Aeolian Land (Αἰολικὴ γῆ, 1943) pub- lished a collection of short stories under the title The Defeated (Οἱ Νικημένοι); among them the five page-long “The State of Virginia”, a close reading of which I offer in this paper.

    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.

  • Common Topoi in the Turkish Literature of the War of Independence and the Greek Literature of the Asia Minor Disaster1

A. (2021). Echoes across the national divide: Common topoi in the Turkish literature of the War of Independence and the Greek literature of the Asia Minor Disaster. Journal of Academic Studies in World Languages, Literatures and Translation (WOLLT), 2(1), 32-56. Abstract This paper draws attention to common features of the early literatures of the Turkish War of Independence and of the Greek Asia Minor Disaster. The salient feature is the emphasis on victimhood, with each literature presenting the sufferings of its own side. This explains the different choice of subjects, for the Turks the Muslim peasantry during the war, for the Greeks Christian captives and refugees at and after its end. To convey these sufferings as lived experience both literatures use first person narration and in both literatures the boundaries between fact and fiction are hard to determine. Works in both literatures are also strongly influenced by political and other circumstances at the time of composition rather than of the war itself. These points are illustrated by examples from the work of Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu, Halide Edip Adıvar and Elias Venezis. Finally the treatment of the refugee experience both in literature and the recording of oral history is briefly surveyed and reasons are suggested for its prominence in Greece and its absence in Turkey.
