    The Ghikas House on Hydra: from Artists’ Haven to Enchanted Ruins

    The Ghikas House on Hydra: From Artists’ Haven to Enchanted Ruins HELLE VALBORG GOLDMAN Norwegian Polar Institute We sat on the terrace under the starry sky and talked about poetry, we drank wine, we swam, we rode donkeys, we played chess—it was like life in a novel. (Ghikas, quoted in Arapoglou 56) Introduction The Greek island of Hydra has become known for the colony of expatriate painters and writers that became established there in the 1950s and 60s (Genoni and Dalziell 2018; Goldman 2018). Two ‘literary houses,’ the homes of several of the island’s most well-known foreign residents during that era—the Australian couple, writers George Johnston and Charmian Clift, and Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen—have become places of pilgrimage for aficionados of Australian literature and popular music. Visitors wend through the maze of car- less, stone-paved lanes, asking for directions along the way, in order to stand outside the objects of their quests. Standing in the small public courtyard in front of the Johnstons’ house, or the tight laneway fronting the Cohen house, there is not much to see—the houses are quiet, the doors closed, the stone and white-washed walls surrounding the properties, which are typical of Hydra, are high. This doesn’t keep people from coming. They can picture in their minds’ eyes what is on the other side of the walls, having seen photographs of the writers at work and leisure inside the houses, and having read the books and listened to the songs that were written while the Johnstons and Cohen were in residence.

    Local Party Organizations and the Mobilization of Latino Voters

    LOCAL PARTY ORGANIZATIONS AND THE MOBILIZATION OF LATINO VOTERS A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Daniel G. Lehman May, 2013 Examining Committee Members: Robin Kolodny, Advisory Chair, Political Science Michael Hagen, Political Science Sandra Suarez, Political Science Rosario Espinal, Sociology i ABSTRACT We frequently hear that Latinos are the fastest growing minority group in the United States. We also know that like many American immigrant groups, Latinos tend to reside in states where a critical mass of their community already is settled, in this case largely for geo-political reasons (e.g. New Mexico, Arizona, California, Texas, Florida and New York). Why, then, is Latino participation in national politics lower than white, Black, and Asian voters? And who has an interest in doing something about it? This project addresses several interrelated questions concerning the place of Latinos in American politics and the health of democracy in the United States. Political parties are meant to link citizens to the state. However, parties often fear that reaching out to certain groups may alienate the concerns of some core voters, providing a disincentive to political parties to prioritize Latino outreach. Here, I ask, to what degree are local political parties involved in mobilizing Latino voters as compared to other voting groups? Interest groups have much narrower constituencies than political parties by definition, but their
