It argues that theatre in Greece through the productions of tragedy proposed an aesthetic framework of performances of tragedy that could be recognised as ‘purely Greek’ within which the styles of productions moved. The whole issue is discussed using Bourdieu’s model of the development of the ‘field of cultural production’. Particularising this model in the field of theatre, the thesis argues that, due to the lack of Greek dramatic plays rich in symbolic capital, the productions of tragedy became the area where the ‘sub-field of theatrical restricted production’ was developed in Greece. This development, however, presupposed that the field of performance had to meet the two crucial challenges that Greek culture faced during this period. The first one consisted of the cultural appropriation of tragedy within the frame of the aesthetic ideology of the capitalist class which claimed the continuity of the Greek nation through the ages placing emphasis on the use of demotiki and the Byzantine and more recent phases of what is considered ‘Greek’ culture.. The second consisted of the unavoidable reference to the European theatrical tradition in such a way that it would lead to styles of performances that could be characterized as ‘purely Greek’ and face Europe as a rival. Both these issues touched heavily on the issue of hellenikotita , which during this period consisted of a principal qualitative criterion to assess the symbolic capital of cultural products. The main argument of the thesis is discussed in relation to the work of five directors, the Sikelianoi, that is, Aggelos Sikelianos and his wife Eva Palmer-Sikelianou, Fotos Politis, Dimitris Rondiris and Karolos Koun. These directors are the main representatives of what is considered in this thesis to be the first and the second phase in the history of the ‘sub-field of restricted theatrical production’ in Greece. It is argued that these directors proposed aesthetic styles of performances renegotiating, on the one hand, the European theatrical tradition in Greek cultural terms and creating, on the other, a ‘Greek’ aesthetic style/s of performance by drawing from the entirety of what was considered to be ‘Greek’ culture. The body of the productions of tragedy during that period in combination with the articles and other material, for example speeches, provided by the directors themselves constitute a discourse on hellenikotita and Greek performance. Within that framework it is argued that Greek theatre through the productions of tragedy participated equally and dynamically as other cultural field in the constitution of Greek culture during that period. ii Acknowledgments This thesis owes its existence to all three of its supervisors. To Keith Sturgess it owes the subject. To Maria Shevtsova it owes the methodology. To Kate Newey it owes its final form and the fact that, at last, it is finished. I am indebted to all three of them but most of all I want to thank Kate Newey, not only for her invaluable advice, but also for her support and her willingness to work along my at times hectic rhythms. She was there when I really needed her. I also want to thank my friend, Associate Professor Katerina Kaleri, who helped me to understand how I should think and express myself as a scientist in a time when I was full of ideas but had no idea of how to put them in order and present them. In addition, I want to thank the Director of the National Theatre, Nikos Kourkoulos for allowing me to study the National Theatre’s Archives. I want especially to thank Dimitris Dimarakis, who was in charge of the National Theatre’s Library and Archives at the time I was researching, for his help and his willingness to provide me with all the material I needed. I also want to thank the K0BE (State Theatre of Northern Greece) and 0OK (Theatrical Organisation of Cyprus) for supplying me with the material of their performances of tragedy that I asked for. Although in the end I did not use it, I intend to use it in future works. Finally I should mention that, unlike the state theatres, the Theatro Technis was unwilling to provide me with the information and material I asked them for. I want to thank my friend, director Eleni Triantafillaki, for the conversations we had on performances of tragedy and for helping me to contact the K0BE. I am also grateful to my friends Androniki Chrysafi and Associate Professor Kostas Valakas for their technical and other support whenever I needed it. Last but not least I want to thank my parents, Professor Minas Roilos and Kaiti Roilou, for being patient and supporting to me during this long journey and my friends Vasso, Ioanna, Vassilia and Graeme for reminding me repeatedly that there are other things in life besides Ph.Ds. All Greek texts are translated by me unless otherwise stated. In the transliteration of Greek names and words I decided to follow Linos Politis’ example and accentuate all names or words that are stressed on their final or antepenultimate syllable, which are not normally accentuated in English language. In regard to the accentuation of the Greek texts I decided to follow the mode of accentuation of the edition from which I was quoting. Thus for a large number of them I used the multi -accentuated system and for the small, as it proved, number of the rest of them the single-accentuated one. In the titles of the books, however, I used the official single-accentuated system so as to have a unified form in the bibliography. Furthermore I followed the spelling of the editions from which I was quoting despite the typographical mistakes that sometimes occurred.

    Τι είν’ η πατρίδα μας; Performing ‘time out of joint’ at the National Theatre of Greece (2011-13) ‘We are going to open the chapter “Greece”. Our aim is to talk exclusively about our country.’1 (Anon 2011) With these words, in May 2011, the artistic director of the National Theatre of Greece Yiannis Houvardas launched the theatre’s programme for the autumn 2011 - spring 2013 period. The season under the title What is our motherland? (Τι ειν’ η πατρίδα μας;) featured works by Greek and non-Greek artists that focused on three areas: Greeks’ perceptions of themselves, non-Greeks’ views of the country and its people, and what Greece might signify in that particular historical moment. The What is our Motherland? Season that concluded Houvardas’s six-year tenure, included different kinds of events: performances, talks, rehearsed readings and exhibitions, they all offered a synchronic and diachronic perspective on the Greek nation.2 This article explores three performances of Greek plays that were programmed as part of that season: Lena Kitsopoulou’s Austras or Couch Grass (Άουστρας ή η Αγριαδα [2011]); Iakovos Kampanellis’s The Backyard of Miracles (Αυλή των Θαυμάτων, [1957/58]), and Spyridon Peresiadis’s Golfo (Γκόλφω, [1893/94]). These three texts offer insight into the performance of Greek national identity in markedly different historical moments: the pastoral drama Golfo was originally staged 1 All translations from Greek material are mine. The analysis is based on my experience as audience member of The Backyard of Miracles (February 2012) and Golfo (Epidaurus theatre, August 2013) as well as on the video recordings of the productions held at the library of the National Theatre in Athens; the reading of Austras is solely based on the video recording, the unpublished playscript and other documentation material available at the National Theatre library.

  • Laughter from Hades: Aristophanic Voice Today*
    51 Ifigenija Radulović University of Novi Sad, Serbia Ismene Helen Radoulovits Petkovits National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece Laughter from Hades: Aristophanic Voice Today The current Greek political situation again brings to light, and on stage, many ancient dramas. Contemporary Greek theatre professionals, not turning a blind eye to reality, have come up with ‘the revival’ of old texts, staging them in new circumstances. Aristophaniad is an original play with a subversive content inspired by Aristophanes and a contemporary street graffito reflecting contemporary Athenian life. It is a mixture of various comic and other dramatic elements, such as ancient comedy, grotesque, pantomime, musical, ballet, opera, standup, even circus. Additionally, staging methods developed by the Greek director, Karolos Koun (1908‐1987) are also evident in the production. Idea Theatre Company, exploiting excerpts from Aristophanes’ plays and starring the comediographer himself, manages to depict a fictional and real world in one. The performance starts with the rehearsal of Aristophanes’ new play, Poverty, which is in danger of being left unfinished since Hades plans to take Aristophanes to the Underworld. The play ends with Plutus. In the meantime, the performance entertains its audience, leading them to experience Aristotelian catharsis through laughter. This collective ‘purification’ of the soul is supposed to be mediated by laughter and provoked by references to serious life issues, given in comic mode and through a vast range of human emotions. The article deals with those comic features and supports the thesis that in spite of the fact that times change, people never cease to fight for a better society.

  • Ancient Greek Myth and Drama in Greek Cinema (1930–2012): an Overall Approach
    Konstantinos KyriaKos ANCIENT GREEK MYTH AND DRAMA IN GREEK CINEMA (1930–2012): AN OVERALL APPROACH Ι. Introduction he purpose of the present article is to outline the relationship between TGreek cinema and themes from Ancient Greek mythology, in a period stretching from 1930 to 2012. This discourse is initiated by examining mov- ies dated before WW II (Prometheus Bound, 1930, Dimitris Meravidis)1 till recent important ones such as Strella. A Woman’s Way (2009, Panos Ch. Koutras).2 Moreover, movies involving ancient drama adaptations are co-ex- amined with the ones referring to ancient mythology in general. This is due to a particularity of the perception of ancient drama by script writers and di- rectors of Greek cinema: in ancient tragedy and comedy film adaptations,3 ancient drama was typically employed as a source for myth. * I wish to express my gratitude to S. Tsitsiridis, A. Marinis and G. Sakallieros for their succinct remarks upon this article. 1. The ideologically interesting endeavours — expressed through filming the Delphic Cel- ebrations Prometheus Bound by Eva Palmer-Sikelianos and Angelos Sikelianos (1930, Dimitris Meravidis) and the Longus romance in Daphnis and Chloë (1931, Orestis Laskos) — belong to the origins of Greek cinema. What the viewers behold, in the first fiction film of the Greek Cinema (The Adventures of Villar, 1924, Joseph Hepp), is a wedding reception at the hill of Acropolis. Then, during the interwar period, film pro- duction comprises of documentaries depicting the “Celebrations of the Third Greek Civilisation”, romances from late antiquity (where the beauty of the lovers refers to An- cient Greek statues), and, finally, the first filmings of a theatrical performance, Del- phic Celebrations.

  • State of Populism in Europe
    2018 State of Populism in Europe The past few years have seen a surge in the public support of populist, Eurosceptical and radical parties throughout almost the entire European Union. In several countries, their popularity matches or even exceeds the level of public support of the centre-left. Even though the centre-left parties, think tanks and researchers are aware of this challenge, there is still more OF POPULISM IN EUROPE – 2018 STATE that could be done in this fi eld. There is occasional research on individual populist parties in some countries, but there is no regular overview – updated every year – how the popularity of populist parties changes in the EU Member States, where new parties appear and old ones disappear. That is the reason why FEPS and Policy Solutions have launched this series of yearbooks, entitled “State of Populism in Europe”. *** FEPS is the fi rst progressive political foundation established at the European level. Created in 2007 and co-fi nanced by the European Parliament, it aims at establishing an intellectual crossroad between social democracy and the European project. Policy Solutions is a progressive political research institute based in Budapest. Among the pre-eminent areas of its research are the investigation of how the quality of democracy evolves, the analysis of factors driving populism, and election research.

  • Ellada Ioannou Populism and the European Elections in Cyprus
    Spring 14 The Risks of growing Populism and the European elections: Populism and the European elections in Cyprus Author: Ellada Ioannou Populism and the European elections in Cyprus Ellada Ioannou1 The aim of this paper, is to examine the rise of Populism in Europe and its association with the increase in anti-European sentiments, using Cyprus as a case study. A questionnaire in the format of a survey, was completed by 1009 Cypriot participants. The findings, were that compared to other European Union member states, show that Populism and Euroscepticism in Cyprus seem, at present, not to be extensively prevalent. However, there seems to be a slight shift towards Euroscepticism and pre-conditions for the emergence and rise of radical right-wing Populism in Cyprus, are evident. Introduction While definitions of populism have varied over the years, making “populism” a rather vague and ill-defined concept, scholars and political analysts agree that its general ideology is that society is divided into two groups: the “pure people” and the “corrupt elitist” and that politics should be, above all, an expression of the general will of the people.2 With its positive connotation, it is argued, that populism can have a positive, corrective impact on democracy, by pointing out the need to integrate people’s ideas and interests into the political system and the political agenda.3 However, “populism” in general has acquired a negative connotation, as a potential threat to democracy, due to its historical association with authoritarian rule and due to some of its characteristics such as “illiberal democracy” and its exclusive nature.

  • The Destruction of Art
    1 The destruction of art Solvent form examines art and destruction—through objects that have been destroyed (lost in fires, floods, vandalism, or, similarly, those that actively court or represent this destruction, such as Christian Marclay’s Guitar Drag or Chris Burden’s Samson), but also as an undoing process within art that the object challenges through form itself. In this manner, events such as the Momart warehouse fire in 2004 (in which large hold- ings of Young British Artists (YBA) and significant collections of art were destroyed en masse through arson), as well as the events surrounding art thief Stéphane Breitwieser (whose mother destroyed the art he had stolen upon his arrest—putting it down a garbage disposal or dumping it in a nearby canal) are critical events in this book, as they reveal something about art itself. Likewise, it is through these moments of destruction that we might distinguish a solvency within art and discover an operation in which something is made visible at a time when art’s metaphorical undo- ing emerges as oddly literal. Against this overlay, a tendency is mapped whereby individuals attempt to conceptually gather these destroyed or lost objects, to somehow recoup them in their absence. This might be observed through recent projects, such as Jonathan Jones’s Museum of Lost Art, the Tate Modern’s Gallery of Lost Art, or Henri Lefebvre’s text The Missing Pieces; along with exhibitions that position art as destruction, such as Damage Control at the Hirschhorn Museum or Under Destruction by the Swiss Institute in New York.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-68152-1 — Greek Theatre between Antiquity and Independence Walter Puchner , Assisted by Andrew White Frontmatter More Information i GREEK THEATRE BETWEEN ANTIQUITY AND INDEPENDENCE Th is fi rst general history of Greek theatre from Hellenistic times to the foundation of the modern Greek state in 1830 marks a radical departure from traditional methods of historiography. We like to think of history unfolding continuously, in an evolutionary form, but the story of Greek theatre is rather diff erent. After traditional theatre ended in the sixth and seventh centuries, no traditional drama was written or performed on stage throughout the Greek- speaking world for centuries because of the Orthodox Church’s hostile attitude toward spectacles. With the reinvention of theatre in Renaissance Italy, however, Greek theatre was revived in Crete under Venetian rule in the late sixteenth century. Th e following centuries saw the restoration of Greek theatre at various locations, albeit characterized by numerous ruptures and discontinuities in terms of geography, stylistics, thematic approaches and ideologies. Th ese diverse develop- ments were only ‘normalized’ with the establishment of the Greek nation state. WALTER PUCHNER is an emeritus professor in the Department of Th eatre Studies at the University of Athens. He has published more than eighty books and about 400 articles in academic journals. His research interests include the history of theatre in the Balkan Peninsula, the comparative folklore and ethnography
