  • 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 Explorations and Poetic Avenues of Nikos Kavvadias
    THE EXPLORATIONS AND POETIC AVENUES OF NIKOS KAVVADIAS IAKOVOS MENELAOU * ABSTRACT. This paper analyses some of the influences in Nikos Kavvadias’ (1910-1975) poetry. In particular – and without suggesting that such topic in Kavvadias’ poetry ends here – we will examine the influences of the French poet Charles Baudelaire and the English poet John Mase- field. Kavvadias is perhaps a sui generis case in Modern Greek literature, with a very distinct writing style. Although other Greek poets also wrote about the sea and their experiences during their travelling, Kavvadias’ references and descriptions of exotic ports, exotic women and cor- rupt elements introduce the reader into another world and dimension: the world of the sailor, where the fantasy element not only exists, but excites the reader’s imagination. Although the world which Kavvadias depicts is a mixture of fantasy with reality—and maybe an exaggerated version of the sailor’s life, the adventures which he describes in his poems derive from the ca- pacity of the poetic ego as a sailor and a passionate traveller. Without suggesting that Kavvadias wrote some sort of diary-poetry or that his poetry is clearly biographical, his poems should be seen in connection with his capacity as a sailor, and possibly the different stories he read or heard during his journeys. Kavvadias was familiar with Greek poetry and tradition, nonetheless in this article we focus on influences from non-Greek poets, which together with the descriptions of his distant journeys make Kavvadias’ poems what they are: exotic and fascinating narratives in verse. KEY WORDS: Kavvadias, Baudelaire, Masefield, comparative poetry Introduction From an early age to the end of his life, Kavvadias worked as a sailor, which is precisely why it can be argued that his poetry had been inspired by his numerous travels around the world.

  • How I Came to Translate Karyotakis by Keith Taylor
    How I Came to Translate Karyotakis by Keith Taylor Keith Taylor, Univerisity of Michigan faculty member in English and co-winner, along with Prof. Bill Reader of Central Michigan University, of the 2004 Keeley and Sherrard Translation Award discusses the paths he followed on the way to translating the poetry of Kostas Karyotakis It is difficult to follow the paths of imagination and curiosity. But that someone like me-a rather happy protestant from the Canadian prairies-has come to spend a decade or more trying to translate the poems of someone like Kostas Karyotakis-a morose and skeptical Greek who killed himself twenty five years before I was born-is a puzzle that is at least amusing. There are parts to the puzzle that I don't understand and probably never will, but I know that the pieces started falling into place early in my life. My father is a protestant minister from a small and primarily rural denomination and he minored in New Testament Greek in college. Later he spent a couple of decades teaching the basics to the next generation of prairie preachers, so they would all know enough to preach the important sermon on the difference between eros, philos, and agape. The Greek alphabet, a Greek New Testament, and a few dictionaries were always around our house. Of course, I was a rebellious child, and-to my lasting regret- never spent the time to learn even the alphabet from my father, who would have loved to teach it to me. My family moved from western Canada to Indiana when I was a teenager, and for many years I didn't learn to fit in to my new place.

ISSN (Online) 2620-0635 ▪ https://doi.org/10.32591/coas.ojsa.0301.01001k _________________________________________________________________________ Tracking the Creative Process of Mikis Theodorakis’ Electra: An Approach to Philosophical, Esthetical and Musical Sources of his Opera Angeliki Kordellou University of Patras, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Patras, GREECE Department of Theatrical Studies Received: 19 March 2020 ▪ Accepted: 17 May 2020 ▪ Published Online: 28 May 2020 Abstract Taking into consideration Mikis Theodorakis’ autobiography, personal notes, drafts and sketches, several scientific studies about his musical work and by means of an analytical approach of his score for Electra, it seems that tracking its creative process demands a holistic approach including various musical and extra musical parameters. For this reason the aim of this paper is to present an overview of these parameters such as: (a) aspects of the Pythagorean theory of the Universal Harmony which influenced the artist’s worldview and musical creation; (b) the artistic impact of the ancient Greek tragedy and especially of the tragic Chorus on his musical activity; (c) his long term experience in stage music, and particularly music for ancient drama performances; (d) his music for M. Cacoyannis’ movie Electra; (e) the use of musical material deriving from previous compositions of Theodorakis; and (f) the reference to musical elements originating from the Greek musical tradition. Keywords: Electra, Mikis Theodorakis, lyrical tragedy, Greek contemporary music, Greek opera. 1. Introduction The tragic fate of Electra has been the source of artistic expression since antiquity.

  • The Dialogic Relationship Between Poems and Paintings and Its Application to Literary Education in High School
    The Dialogic Relationship Between Poems and Paintings and its Application to Literary Education in High School La relación dialógica entre poemas y pinturas y su aplicación a la educación literaria en la educación superior La relació dialògica entre poemes i pintures i la seua aplicació a l’educació literària a l’educació superior Marianna Toutziaraki. Phd. Candidate at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8406-9077 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to discuss the dialogic relationship between literary texts and paintings and the function of painting pictures in the teaching of literature in Secondary Education. The incorporation of paintings into literary education is founded on Bakhtin’s principle of dialogism. The wider spirit of the theory of dialogism allows us to detach the literary text from the solitude of its autonomy, connecting it not only to other literary texts but also to other forms of art, which unfold within a particular historical and cultural context. One example of the dialogic relationship between literature and painting could be the dialogue between the poem ‘We are just some… [battered guitars]’ of the Greek poet Kostas Karyotakis and two paintings of the Austrian artist Egon Schiele, which was deployed in a teaching session for Greek eleventh graders. This sample teaching, thoroughly described in the paper, gave prominence to the dialogic relationship between the poem and the paintings, tracing their analogies on a thematic, stylistic and sociohistorical level. It also brought out the students’ role as active participants in the dialogue between the poem and the paintings and as crucial agents of the meaning- making process.

Kısa ömrüne çok sayıda ve nitelikli şiirler sığdırmış olan şair Kostas Karyotakis ise bu edebi kuşağın en önemli temsilcilerinden sayılmaktadır. Türkiye’de konu üzerine yapılmış olan çalışmaların sayısının kısıtlı olması bu çalışmanın yapılmasında önemli bir etkendir. Çalışmada öncelikle Kostas Karyotakis’in yaşadığı dönemin siyasal olayları ve edebi gelişmeleri ele alınarak genel bir tasvir yapılmaya çalışılmış, ardından 32 yıllık yaşamı kronolojik olarak aktarılmıştır. Şairin etkilendiği yerli ve yabancı kaynakların izleri gözlemlendikten sonra ölümünün ardından ortaya çıkan “Karyotakizm” akımının Yunan edebiyatında nasıl bir etki oluşturduğu analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda ise Yunan şairin 22 şiirinin Türkçe çevirisine yer verilmiştir. Anahtar Sözcükler: Yunanistan, Şiir, Sembolizm, 1920 Kuşağı, Kostas Karyotakis iii ABSTRACT LIFE, WORKS AND INFLUENCE ON GREEK POETRY OF GREEK POET KOSTAS KARYOTAKIS GUNES FINDIKOGLU The importance of 1920s poets’, who were influenced by the Symbolism movement that emerged at the end of the 19th century is undeniable for the history of modern Greek literature. The poet Kostas Karyotakis, who has written numerous and qualified poems in his short life, is one of the most significant representatives of this literary generation. The inadequate number of studies conducted on the topic in Turkey is the main cause of the existence of this work.
