However, literary sources, sacred laws and various engravings stipulate that such land was not to be leased out. Theoretically, only ordinary territory provided reve nue to religious sanctuaries, but available docu ments do not always make it pos sible to distinguish between the two types of land. Nonetheless, when sacred ground was farmed, it was no lon ger perceived as part of the religious landscape. Distinguishing markers were thus necessary to differentiate between sacred and common ground.

    TUBERCULOSIS IN GREECE An Experiment in the Relief and Rehabilitation of a Country By J. B. McDOUGALL, C.B.E., M.D., F.R.C.P. (Ed.), F.R.S.E.; Late Consultant in Tuberculosis, Greece, UNRRA INTRODUCTION In Greece, we follow the traditions of truly great men in all branches of science, and in none more than in the science of medicine. Charles Singer has rightly said - "Without Herophilus, we should have had no Harvey, and the rise of physiology might have been delayed for centuries. Had Galen's works not survived, Vesalius would have never reconstructed anatomy, and surgery too might have stayed behind with her laggard sister, Medicine. The Hippo- cratic collection was the necessary and acknowledged basis for the work of the greatest of modern clinical observers, Sydenham, and the teaching of Hippocrates and his school is still the substantial basis of instruction in the wards of a modern hospital." When we consider the paucity of the raw material with which the Father of Medicine had to work-the absence of the precise scientific method, a population no larger than that of a small town in England, the opposition of religious doctrines and dogma which concerned themselves largely with the healing art, and a natural tendency to speculate on theory rather than to face the practical problems involved-it is indeed remarkable that we have been left a heritage in clinical medicine which has never been excelled. Nearly 2,000 years elapsed before any really vital advances were made on the fundamentals as laid down by the Hippocratic School.

  • Revolt and Crisis in Greece
    REVOLT AND CRISIS IN GREECE BETWEEN A PRESENT YET TO PASS AND A FUTURE STILL TO COME How does a revolt come about and what does it leave behind? What impact does it have on those who participate in it and those who simply watch it? Is the Greek revolt of December 2008 confined to the shores of the Mediterranean, or are there lessons we can bring to bear on social action around the globe? Revolt and Crisis in Greece: Between a Present Yet to Pass and a Future Still to Come is a collective attempt to grapple with these questions. A collaboration between anarchist publishing collectives Occupied London and AK Press, this timely new volume traces Greece’s long moment of transition from the revolt of 2008 to the economic crisis that followed. In its twenty chapters, authors from around the world—including those on the ground in Greece—analyse how December became possible, exploring its legacies and the position of the social antagonist movement in face of the economic crisis and the arrival of the International Monetary Fund. In the essays collected here, over two dozen writers offer historical analysis of the factors that gave birth to December and the potentialities it has opened up in face of the capitalist crisis. Yet the book also highlights the dilemmas the antagonist movement has been faced with since: the book is an open question and a call to the global antagonist movement, and its allies around the world, to radically rethink and redefine our tactics in a rapidly changing landscape where crises and potentialities are engaged in a fierce battle with an uncertain outcome.

  • Athens Biennale 2015 ― 2017 OMONOIA) and Will Take Place at the Onassis Cultural Centre - Athens (27 May) and at Bageion (28 May)
    Athens Biennale 2015 ― 2017 Synapse 2: Rethinking Institutional Critique – Α View from the South INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT Ιn this Summit, we explore the role of art institutions and cultural organisations, as well as that of the bio-poli- tics and political economy of late capitalism. In the current context of global dispossession, austerity, inequality, indebtedness, conspicuous consumption, zero hour work, extreme financialisation and privatisation of life, what kind of institutions should art biennials be? Where should they look for their public and political constituen- cies? What kind of practices should they nurture? What forms of sociability, relationality and political imagi- naries should they foster? Where shall they draw the boundaries, if any, between their inside and their outside? We invited leading international scholars, artists, activists and cultural organisations to think together new insti- tutional formats, value forms and ways of working together by embracing the perspective of Europe’s south. This south is not a fixed locality, but a broad geopolitical formation that includes the Middle East and Eastern Europe and exists outside Europe’s centre and from which we ask the speakers to situate themselves and find a common vocabulary as a new point of departure. Co-programmed by Massimiliano Mollona and Stephanie Bailey The Athens Biennale 2015 – 2017 OMONOIA continues its creative collaboration with the National Theatre of Greece, which hosts the Summit of Synapse 2 on Friday April 15th at the New Rex.
