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. -
The Relationship Between Dispositional Empathy, Psychological Distress, and Posttraumatic Stress Responses Among Japanese Unifor
Nagamine et al. BMC Psychiatry (2018) 18:328 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12888-018-1915-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The relationship between dispositional empathy, psychological distress, and posttraumatic stress responses among Japanese uniformed disaster workers: a cross-sectional study Masanori Nagamine1* , Jun Shigemura2, Toshimichi Fujiwara3, Fumiko Waki3, Masaaki Tanichi2, Taku Saito2, Hiroyuki Toda2, Aihide Yoshino2 and Kunio Shimizu1 Abstract Background: Disaster workers suffer from psychological distress not only through the direct experience of traumatic situations but also through the indirect process of aiding disaster victims. This distress, called secondary traumatic stress, is linked to dispositional empathy, which is the tendency for individuals to imagine and experience the feelings and experiences of others. However, the association between secondary traumatic stress and dispositional empathy remains understudied. Methods: To examine the relationship between dispositional empathy and mental health among disaster workers, we collected data from 227 Japan Ground Self-Defense Force personnel who engaged in international disaster relief activities in the Philippines following Typhoon Yolanda in 2013. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale were used to evaluate posttraumatic stress responses (PTSR) and general psychological distress (GPD), respectively. Dispositional empathy was evaluated through the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, which consists of four subscales: Perspective Taking, Fantasy, Empathic Concern, and Personal Distress. Hierarchial linear regression analyses were performed to identify the variables related to PTSR and GPD. Results: High PTSR was significantly associated with high Fantasy (identification tendency, β =0.21,p < .01), high Personal Distress (the self-oriented emotional disposition of empathy, β =0.18,p <.05),andnoexperienceofdisaster relief activities (β =0.15,p < .05). -
Acute Stress Responses in Chinese Soldiers Performing Various Military Tasks Peng Huang1, Tengxiao Zhang2, Danmin Miao1* and Xia Zhu1*
Huang et al. International Journal of Mental Health Systems 2014, 8:45 http://www.ijmhs.com/content/8/1/45 RESEARCH Open Access Acute stress responses in Chinese soldiers performing various military tasks Peng Huang1, Tengxiao Zhang2, Danmin Miao1* and Xia Zhu1* Abstract Background: To examine Chinese soldiers’ acute stress responses, we did this study. Methods: The soldiers completed the Acute Stress Response Scale (ASRS) when engaged in major tasks, such as earthquake rescue in Wenchuan, Sichuan, and maintaining social stability in Urumchi, Xinjiang. The ASRS has good reliability and validity. The study enrolled 1,832 male soldiers. Results: The results showed significant differences among five dimensions and the overall response index when comparing four diverse military tasks. Further analysis found that reduced work efficiency and 24 symptom clusters were significantly positively correlated. Conclusions: The acute stress response of soldiers performing various tasks was influenced by many factors, including the task characteristics and external factors. In addition, the acute stress response affected their work efficiency.

Appendix B: a Literary Heritage I
Appendix B: A Literary Heritage I. Suggested Authors, Illustrators, and Works from the Ancient World to the Late Twentieth Century All American students should acquire knowledge of a range of literary works reflecting a common literary heritage that goes back thousands of years to the ancient world. In addition, all students should become familiar with some of the outstanding works in the rich body of literature that is their particular heritage in the English- speaking world, which includes the first literature in the world created just for children, whose authors viewed childhood as a special period in life. The suggestions below constitute a core list of those authors, illustrators, or works that comprise the literary and intellectual capital drawn on by those in this country or elsewhere who write in English, whether for novels, poems, nonfiction, newspapers, or public speeches. The next section of this document contains a second list of suggested contemporary authors and illustrators—including the many excellent writers and illustrators of children’s books of recent years—and highlights authors and works from around the world. In planning a curriculum, it is important to balance depth with breadth. As teachers in schools and districts work with this curriculum Framework to develop literature units, they will often combine literary and informational works from the two lists into thematic units. Exemplary curriculum is always evolving—we urge districts to take initiative to create programs meeting the needs of their students. The lists of suggested authors, illustrators, and works are organized by grade clusters: pre-K–2, 3–4, 5–8, and 9– 12. -
World Literature: the Unbearable Lightness of Thinking Globally1
Access Provided by Georgetown University Library at 12/13/11 11:38PM GMT Diaspora 12:1 2003 World Literature: The Unbearable Lightness of Thinking Globally1 Gregory Jusdanis The Ohio State University 1. Does literature have anything interesting to say about globaliza- tion? Is the work of literary critics germane to those analyzing today’s transnational flows of people, ideas, and goods? Many students of globalization, who work primarily in economics, political science, cultural studies, and journalism, would be skeptical of the claim that literary study could address their concerns. Indeed, they would be surprised to learn that Comparative Literature has been championing cosmopolitanism for more than a century, or that it had developed an international perspective on literary relations decades before they had. Comparative Literature, in fact, prefigured today’s transnational consciousness through its attempt to tran- scend the limits of individual national traditions and to investigate links among them. This makes the current malaise of Comparative Literature baf- fling. A discipline that promoted polyglossia and comparison for 100 years now finds itself in decline. Rather than emerging as a leading light in an academy so preoccupied with interdisciplinarity and difference, Comparative Literature has lost its glow. Most alarming of all, it has allowed English, Cultural Studies, and Globalization Studies to pursue a scorched-earth policy with respect to foreign languages. The discipline that spearheaded transnationalism in the humanities now finds itself in the rear guard. With some justification, Gayatri Spivak speaks of the death of the discipline. Her book, like so many studies of Comparative Lite- rature today, is written in an elegiac tone. -
(Re)Ciphering Nations: Greece As a Constructed Illegibility in Odysseas Elytis’S Poetry
Journal of Literature and Art Studies, ISSN 2159-5836 January 2014, Vol. 4, No. 1, 25-33 D DAVID PUBLISHING (Re)Ciphering Nations: Greece as a Constructed Illegibility in Odysseas Elytis’s Poetry Álvaro García Marín Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Madrid, Spain In their attempt to construct their identity in opposition to European one, non-Western new nations with alphabets such as Greek, Hebrew, or Cyrillic, used them as a way of emphasizing difference, and thus provide symbolic spaces for the newborn nations. The illegibility of these alphabets for Western people, along with the ancient prestige of at least Hebrew and Greek, fostered the illusion of temporal continuity and provided legitimacy to their atomization projects. Odysseas Elytis (1911-1996), Nobel Prize for Literature winner in 1979 and the last national poet of Greece, blends this old tendency in Greek culture and the broader claim of modern European poets for the essential autonomy of art and literature. His efforts to reinforce the walls separating Greece from Latin-Western culture by reinforcing the illegibility of both Greek and poetic idioms, aim at constructing a more essential Greece, founded on aesthetics, language, and writing instead of politics, institutions, or geographic borders. In this paper, engaging mainly in the fields of literary and postcolonial studies, the author intends to analyze the mechanisms by which language, writing, or literature can be used to (re)cipher once again the already exclusive concept of nation, and thus to undermine every possibility of deciphering and translatability. He concludes that in “conceptually colonized” nations such as Greece, this process implies and anticolonial movement still caught nevertheless in a colonial discursivity. -
Keeley - Issue Five - Colloquy
Keeley - Issue five - Colloquy An Interview with Edmund Keeley Dimitris Vardoulakis Any English reader interested in Greek literature inevitably comes across Edmund Keeley. The director of the Hellenic Studies Program at Princeton University until seven years ago when he retired has done much to make Greek poetry known. His exemplar translations of Kostantinos Cavafy, George Seferis, Agelos Sikelianos, Giannis Ritsos and Odysseas Elytis helped to establish a reputation in English speaking countries of the great Greek poetry of the 20th century. Keeley arrived in Greece as a young boy when his father was appointed to the American consulate in Thessaloniki. That was in 1936, when the clouds of the second World War had started gathering over Europe. His parents to sent him to the German school, because it was considered the best academic institution for non-Greek speakers. "Greek school was not thought of very highly," Keeley recalls, "but I wish I had gone there. I would have learnt Greek much better. I can read and speak, but I write like an yperetria (house maid)." The German school was favourably disposed toward National Socialism: "The indoctrination was subtle, and most parents evidently did not know it was going on, otherwise they surely would have taken their children out of school-at least, I hope they would have. But some of what was going on was certainly obvious, e.g., the Hitler youth movement. The indoctrination was hardly under the auspices of Metaxas, the Greek dictator, though his local representatives probably didn't object to it, and sometimes there were parallel Neolea events." Besides translations, Keeley has published seven novels ("all, but one, set in Greece; Greece is my landscape"), as well as several books of criticism (Cavafy's Alexandria and Modern Greek Poetry: Voice and Myth , among others), history ( The Salonica Bay Murder: Cold War Politics and the Polk Affair ), and, more recently, a book on translation with, he deplores, the unimaginative title On Translation: Reflections and Conversations .
