PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH EDITION he present study provides an in-depth analysis of the historical T mechanisms of benefaction within the context of building a nation- state. The frame of reference is Gramscian theory, which conceptualises the modern benefactor as an organic intellectual of the bourgeoisie. This conceptual innovation introduces a new paradigm for the historical analysis of benefaction. The current paradigm draws its historical evi - dence from the Hellenistic era, where aristocrats rule, govern and have the duty to be benefactors of their country. The new paradigm draws its historical evidence from the modern period of nation-state build - ing, where benefactors function as organisers of culture and institu - tions, but do not occupy public office. Furthermore, while the current paradigm focuses on the personal and the social function of the bene - factor, the new paradigm focuses on the historical function of the benefactor as an organic intellectual of the bourgeoisie, an approach absent from previous conceptualisations. This paradigm shift is the main reason for the limited use of English and French secondary lit - erature in the present study, as work in those languages tends to relate to the old paradigm. The conceptualisation of the historical experience of nation-state con - struction in a peripheral country like Greece clearly reveals the speci - ficity of benefaction as compared to other practices demonstrating a sense of duty towards the community, such as philanthropy and vol - unteerism. Moreover, the concept of the benefactor as an organic intel - lectual of the bourgeoisie is extended to embrace the phenomenon of institutional benefaction, dominant today, whereby foundations act as collective organic intellectuals of the planetary hegemonic bourgeoisie. The role and the theoretical underpinning of benefaction are both cru - cial to our world in crisis. Professor Matoula Tomara-Sideris Athens, 19 April 2017

PREFACE he Neo-Hellenic reality has been shaped by a combination of T forces and processes. Prominent among them is the phenomenon of Hellenism abroad and the activity of benefaction. The articulation of the two is organic and their synergy at the economic, institutional and cultural levels has had a decisive impact on Neo-Hellenic society. The present study examines three central issues. In the first chapter, the modern phenomenon of Hellenism abroad is studied, with the principal focus being on the Greeks in Egypt, or Aigyptiotes (hereafter Egyptiots). In the second chapter, the ideology, function and practice of benefaction are analysed. Finally, in the third chapter, the modern forms of benefaction are discussed. The connecting link between the multi-faceted levels and dynamics of the historical development of benefaction is the role of the benefactor as a strategic bearer of the Enlightenment, acting as an organic intel - lectual of the bourgeoisie. This book, the fruit of extensive research, presents a wealth of archival data related to the practice of benefaction, as well as a systematic analysis of the phenomenon, thereby situating Neo-Hellenic benefac - tors within their relevant historical context.

1. The Greek Diaspora and benefaction he 19th and early 20th centuries constitute the “Age of Empire,” 1 Tthat is the international expansion of the colonial system with the western metropoles as its centre. Its dynamics and contradictions led to a series of crises which eventually resulted in the deconstruc - tion of the system during the “short twentieth century,” 2 in other words, from the years following World War I until the third quarter of the 20th century. A decisive moment for the development of the Greek communities abroad is the signing by the and Russia of the Treaty of Kucuk Kaynarca in 1774. By this treaty, the Ottomans extended to Greek shipowners the specific legal benefits of the Capitulations, which secured economic-tax facilities and law exemptions for Europeans active in the Empire, providing them with a crucial advantage over local economic actors. By granting full independence from the local Ottoman authorities to predominantly Western European merchants, the Capitulations promoted the imposition of the colonial system and offered European capitalism new possibilities of penetration into the economy of the Ottoman Empire. The Neo-Hellenic communities abroad followed the historical course of the international colonial system, colonial trade and the develop - ment of colonial relations. These communities, living outside the main territory of the national body, preserved their ethnic identity 3. They represent a collective entity with a common mentality and national conscience. Four periods can be traced when studying the phenome - non of the growth of Neo-Hellenic communities abroad. 4

BENEFACTION IN MODERN GREECE – THEORY AND HISTORY

The first period (the genesis) starts during the 18th century and ends during the early 19th century. In this period, ethnic Greeks emi - grated from their homelands to England, France, Austro-Hungary, Northern Italy, the Balkans, Romania and Russia, establishing flour - ishing communities from Western Europe to the Black Sea. The second period (maturity) covers the remainder of the 19th cen - tury, when Greeks left their homelands to settle in North Africa, Asia and the Southern Hemisphere. The third period (completion) extends from the end of the 19th century to the early 20th century, up to World War I. The fourth period, which starts in 1918 and extends to the present day, is characterised by the decline of Hellenism abroad and the oblig - atory return of its members to Greece itself. The abolition of capitu - lations in the Ottoman Empire (1914) and Egypt (1937-1949) represents a turning point in the development οf anti-colonial move - ments, which resulted in the readjustment and final collapse of the international imperial system. The economic crisis which has affected Greece since 2010 has resulted in the revival of the phenomenon of emigration. A fifth period of the Greek diaspora is coming into shape. This time, however, the international socio-economic circumstances have changed. Greeks are now heading towards existing European and transatlantic com - munities, without establishing new ones, thereby contributing to the transformation of today’s ecumenical Hellenism. The historic Hellenic diaspora was organically integrated into the establishment of the colonial system and the resulting division of labour. Its role during this historical period was essential, and its effect on both local realities and the emergence of modern Hellenism, unde - niably crucial. Representatives of the Neo-Hellenic diaspora established the Philike Etaireia (Friendly Society), which laid the foundations for the outbreak of the Greek revolution in 1821. Representatives of the Greek commu - nities abroad coordinated the struggle for Greek independence from

THE GREEK DIASPORA AND BENEFACTION

Ottoman rule, propagating a supra-local, national perspective. The declarations of Alexander on February 24, 1821, addressed to the Greek diaspora, reformulate the Rigas Ferraios’ visions of a politico-military project: 5 Bulgarians and Albanians, Armenians and Grecians, Blacks and whites, with one common ardor, Let us don our sword for freedom, And with one heart, one mind, one soul, Strike at the Tyrant’s root, that he may perish! And ignite a flame all over , Running from Bosnia to the Arab lands! It was representatives of the communities abroad, entrepreneurs, politicians, intellectuals and benefactors who financed and staffed the economic structures and the state and cultural institutions, which con - stituted the backbone of the nascent Neo-Hellenic state. In 1770, during the 18th century genesis of the Neo-Hellenic dias - pora, 6 the first Greek community was formed in Calcutta. By sea or by land, the Greeks had begun seeking their fortune abroad, follow - ing compatriots who had set out before them. From the late 18th century onwards, Greeks are found throughout Western and Central Europe, in places like Dresden, London, and Paris. They established communities along the main overland trade routes, in the cities of Belgrade, , Budapest, , Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Nizhny, and in the ports of Odessa, Trieste, Marseilles, Venice and Livorno. Travelling overseas they reached Australia, the United States, Canada and South America. In all these places, Greek com - munities with their own schools, churches, hospitals and publishing houses came into being. During the 19th century, when the established communities were maturing, Greek emigrants shifted their orientation towards the South. Moving beyond the restricted boundaries of the contemporary Hellenic state, Greeks formed flourishing and lively communities
