In total 42 papers were submitted by 48 presenters, coming from 24 different countries (Albania, Austria, Brazil, China, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, South Africa, Turkey, UK and USA). The conference was organized into 13 sessions that included a variety of topic areas such as myths, gender analysis, literary exchanges, and more. A full conference program can be found beginning on the next page. In accordance with ATINER‘s Publication Policy, the papers presented during this conference will be considered for inclusion in one of ATINER‘s many publications. The purpose of this abstract book is to provide members of ATINER and other academics around the world with a resource through which to discover colleagues and additional research relevant to their own work. This purpose is in congruence with the overall mission of the institute. ATINER was established in 1995 as an independent academic organization with the mission to become a forum where academics and researchers from all over the world could meet to exchange ideas on their research and consider the future developments of their fields of study. It is our hope that through ATINER‘s conferences and publications, Athens will become a place where academics and researchers from all over the world regularly meet to discuss the developments of their discipline and present their work. Since 1995, ATINER has organized more than 400 international conferences and has published nearly 200 books. Academically, the institute is organized into seven research divisions and 38 research units. Each research unit organizes at least one annual conference and undertakes various small and large research projects. For each of these events, the involvement of multiple parties is crucial. I would like to thank all the participants, the members of the organizing and academic committees, and most importantly the administration staff of ATINER for putting this conference and its subsequent publications together.
