  • Short Overview of the Evolution of Modern Greek State
    Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences 55 Short overview of the evolution of Modern Greek state Shalva Tchkadua Telavi State University, Georgia Greece could be an heir of the Byzantine Empire. History often identifies Greece with Byzantium. Unfortunately, the speedy reinforcement of the Ottoman Empire caused Ottomans to become the heirs of Byzantium, and Greece disappeared from the political map. From 1453 till 1821 the territory, which is now called the Hellenic Republic, represented one of the provinces of the Ottoman Empire and Greece as a political unit did not exist. In 1821 the national liberation movement of Greece, with the guidance of Theodoros Kolokotronis, arranged the revolution against the Ottoman Empire and gained victory. Since that time Greece began fighting to re-establish unity and a state system.1 The Greek Revolution was organized in Greece as well as abroad. Greek emigrants were actively involved in the national liberation struggle. At that time Greece had gained all the criteria which are necessary for the formation of a people as a nation. Greece surpassed its conqueror state in economical-cultural development. Peasants were the main force of the revolution, though they were still strengthened by rich and powerful maritime-commercial bourgeoisie and national intelligentsia. They were the ideological leaders of the revolution.2 In 1815 a secret association under the name “Philiki Eteria” (i.e. friendly union) was established. Its center was in Odessa and the leaders were Nickolaos Skufas, Emanuil Xantos and Athanasios Tsakalov. In 1820, the association was led by Major General of the Russian Army Aleksandre Ipsilantis.

  • 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.

  • 19. YÜZYIL AVRUPA ROMANTİKLERİNİN 1821 MORA İSYANI ÜZERİNDEKİ SİYASİ VE KÜLTÜREL ETKİLERİ1 Esra ÖZSÜER*
    Türkiyat Mecmuası, c. 26/2, 2016, 325-344 19. YÜZYIL AVRUPA ROMANTİKLERİNİN 1821 MORA İSYANI ÜZERİNDEKİ SİYASİ VE KÜLTÜREL ETKİLERİ1 Esra ÖZSÜER* ÖZ 1789 Fransız Devrimi sonrasında Monarşinin çöküşü eşitlik, özgürlük ve adalet kavramlarının halka ait olduğu yönündeki düşüncenin ortaya çıkmasına sebep oldu. Böyle bir düşünce sistemi ilkesel olarak Ġmparatorluk içinde yaşayan ulusların kendi kimliklerini keşfetmesine ve ulus-devlet anlayışı ile milliyetçi olgunun doğmasına sebebiyet verdi. Nitekim akılcı düşüncenin egemen olduğu Aydınlanma Çağı ve akabinde Avrupa'da oluşan Romantik akım karşısında hiçbir imparatorluğun varlığını tek güç olarak sürdürmesi olası değildi. Böyle bir süreç elbette ki dönemin etkin gücü olan Osmanlı Ġmparatorluğu içinde farklı ulusların imparatorluğa karşı isyan hareketlerini de beraberinde getirdi. Balkanlar'da çıkan bu isyanlar sonucunda Osmanlı Ġmparatorluğundan bağımsızlığını ilk alan Yunanistan, 1821-1829 yılları arasında yaşanan isyan sürecinde en büyük desteği Avrupa'dan gördü. Antik Yunan hayranlığının hüküm sürdüğü Avrupa'da temel gündem demokrasi ve özgür düşüncenin doğduğu toprakların kendi Oryantalist düşünceleri doğrultusunda despot ve "Doğulu" saydığı Osmanlı'dan kurtarılması gerekliliğiydi. Nitekim Avrupa'daki Rönesans ve Reform hareketlerinin oluşması Yunan'ın atalarından kalan bir mirasın da neticesiydi. Avrupa böyle bir bilincin ötesinde "Yunan Davasını" kendileri açısından vicdani bir mesele olarak da görüyordu. Avrupa Yunanistan'a bir özgürlük borçluydu ve bu borcun ödenmesi için her türlü ekonomik, siyasi, kültürel ve askeri desteğin verilmesi gerekliydi. Başta Lord Byron, Victor Hugo, Chateaubrıand, Shelley gibi dönemin Romantikleri gerek verdikleri eserlerle gerek bizzat davanın içinde aktif rol alarak isyan süresince Yunanistan'a yardım ve destekte bulundular, Avrupa'nın pek çok yerinden gelen Filhelenler Antik Yunan'ı yeniden bulma ve yaratma ümidiyle geldikleri Yunan topraklarında isyana bizzat katılıp destek verdiler.

    Special Edition: 200th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence 1821-2021 18 1821-2021 A publication of the Dean C. and Zoë S. Pappas Interdisciplinary March 2021 VOLUME 1 ISSUE NO. 3 Center for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies From the Director Dear Friends, On March 25, 1821, in the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnesos, the chieftains from the region of Mani convened the Messinian Senate of Kalamata to issue a revolutionary proclamation for “Liberty.” The commander Petrobey Mavromichalis then wrote the following appeal to the Americans: “Citizens of the United States of America!…Having formed the resolution to live or die for freedom, we are drawn toward you by a just sympathy; since it is in your land that Liberty has fixed her abode, and by you that she is prized as by our fathers.” He added, “It is for you, citizens of America, to crown this glory, in aiding us to purge Greece from the barbarians, who for four hundred years have polluted the soil.” The Greek revolutionaries understood themselves as part of a universal struggle for freedom. It is this universal struggle for freedom that the Pappas Center for Hellenic Studies and Stockton University raises up and celebrates on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Greek Revolution in 1821.

  • “The Semiotics of the Imagery of the Greek War of Independence. from Delacroix to the Frieze in Otto’S Palace, the Current Hellenic Parliament”
    American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS)R) 2020 American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS) E-ISSN: 2378-702X Volume-03, Issue-01, pp 36-41 January-2020 www.arjhss.com Research Paper Open Access “The Semiotics of the Imagery of the Greek War of Independence. From Delacroix to the Frieze in Otto’s Palace, The Current Hellenic Parliament”. Markella-Elpida Tsichla University of Patras *Corresponding Author: Markella-Elpida Tsichla ABSTRACT:- The iconography of the Greek War of Independence is quite broad and it includes both real and imaginary themes. Artists who were inspired by this particular and extremely important historical event originated from a variety of countries, some were already well-known, such as Eugène Delacroix, others were executing official commissions from kings of Western countries, and most of them were driven by the spirit of romanticism. This paper shall not so much focus on matters of art criticism, but rather explore the manner in which facts have been represented in specific works of art, referring to political, religious and cultural issues, which are still relevant to this day. In particular, I shall comment on The Massacre at Chios by Eugène Delacroix, painted in 1824, the 39 Scenes from the Greek War of Independence by Peter von Hess, painted in 1835 and commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, and the frieze in the Trophy Room (currently Eleftherios Venizelos Hall) in Otto’s palace in Athens, currently housing the Hellenic Parliament, themed around the Greek War of Independence and the subsequent events. This great work was designed by German sculptor Ludwig Michael Schantahaler in 1840 and “transferred” to the walls of the hall by a group of Greek and German artists.

  • Revolutionary Reckonings
    COMMENTARY had a fixation with the event. They declared their dictatorship to be a “national-salvationist revolu- tion” (ethnosotirios epanastasis) that would com- plete the work of its predecessor. In 1971, the 150th anniversary of the uprising, more than 300 books were published on the subject – an astonishing number dwarfing that of any year before or since. The nation’s classrooms rang with the exhortation: “Long live the revolution of 25 March 1821! Long live the revolution of 21 April 1967!” It was ironic to watch an authoritarian military Junta heroizing a bunch of unruly and quarrelsome chieftains who had been united by few things stronger than their loathing for the idea of a regular army. But the pre- dictable result of turning 1821 into fascist kitsch was that by the time the colonels fell from power in 1974, everyone was fed up with the subject. This explains why, amid the truly remarkable resurgence in historical studies in Greece that took place with the restoration of democracy, the subject of its independence struggle was initially neglected. An exception was the scholarly journal Mnimon, which consistently published high-calibre research on the subject. Just three years ago, it published not one but two important volumes of essays on the Greek revolution. These signalled an end to the neglect of the recent past and showcased a younger generation of historians that was finding new rea- sons for returning to 1821. One of these volumes is a collective tribute to the late historian Despoina Themeli-Katifori, who had contributed to the journal from the start.

  • Letter from the Director
    UCLA SNF CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF HELLENIC CULTURE # 3 | FALL 2021 OLYMPIOS FELLOWSHIP BRINGING A HERO TO LIFE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX 3 10-14 16 Conference Room, UCLA SNF Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture Letter from the Director September 1, marking both the Byzantine and ecclesiastical New Year, seems like an appropriate moment to think backwards and forwards—to give gratitude that we have survived a challenging time and to look forward with great anticipation to the gifts before us.
