    Dead Heroes and Living Saints: Orthodoxy, Nationalism, and Militarism in Contemporary Russia and Cyprus By Victoria Fomina Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Professor Vlad Naumescu Professor Dorit Geva CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2019 Budapest, Hungary Statement I hereby declare that this dissertation contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions and no materials previously written and / or published by any other person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Victoria Fomina Budapest, August 16, 2019 CEU eTD Collection i Abstract This dissertation explores commemorative practices in contemporary Russia and Cyprus focusing on the role heroic and martyrical images play in the recent surge of nationalist movements in Orthodox countries. It follows two cases of collective mobilization around martyr figures – the cult of the Russian soldier Evgenii Rodionov beheaded in Chechen captivity in 1996, and two Greek Cypriot protesters, Anastasios Isaak and Solomos Solomou, killed as a result of clashes between Greek and Turkish Cypriot protesters during a 1996 anti- occupation rally. Two decades after the tragic incidents, memorial events organized for Rodionov and Isaak and Solomou continue to attract thousands of people and only seem to grow in scale, turning their cults into a platform for the production and dissemination of competing visions of morality and social order. This dissertation shows how martyr figures are mobilized in Russia and Cyprus to articulate a conservative moral project built around nationalism, militarized patriotism, and Orthodox spirituality.

  • Strange Homelands: Encountering the Migrant on the Contemporary Greek Stage Fragkou, M
    Research Space Journal article Strange homelands: encountering the migrant on the contemporary Greek stage Fragkou, M. Strange Homelands: Encountering the Migrant on the Contemporary Greek Stage1 Marissia Fragkou Abstract This article examines three examples from recent Greek theatre that stage experiences of migrants and refugees against the backdrop of Greece’s growing internationalism and multiculturalism. In allowing migrants to author their own narratives of border-crossing into a new “homeland,” these theatrical endeavours attempt to break both the monologism of Greek theatre and monolithic understandings of national identity. In acknowledging the risks and tensions underpinning the migrant’s presence on stage, the article also applies pressure to questions of encounter, authenticity, representation, and self-expression, and it interrogates some ways in which migratory subjects navigate the precarious space of belonging and author themselves in the context of contemporary Greek theatre. Keywords exile; heteroglossia; authenticity; One in Ten; Homelands; Clean City; The Emigrants Bio Marissia Fragkou is senior lecturer in Performing Arts at Canterbury Christ Church University. Her research focuses on the politics of representation, feminist theatre, affect, ethics, and precarity. She has published on British and European theatre for Palgrave, Bloomsbury Methuen, Performing Ethos, and Contemporary Theatre Review and has co-edited a special issue on contemporary Greek theatre for The Journal of Greek Media and Culture (2017). Her first monograph, Ecologies of Precarity in Twenty-First Century Theatre: Politics, Affect, Responsibility was published by Bloomsbury Methuen (Drama Engage Series) in 2018. 1 Recent Greek theatre evidences a growing interest in migration and displacement, with mainstream and alternative theatre venues staging works that aim to capture the experiences of migrants and refugees who have arrived in the country since the early 1990s.

Au venit aici, au făcut comerț, au prosperat, au clădit case, biserică, şcoli, mori, tipografii, dar au şi trăit, au suferit, au iubit. Cât de mult s‐au simțit ei aici acasă sau cât de mult au tânjit după pierduta patrida este dificil de spus. Un context istoric sau o alegere cu substrat financiar au determinat, în secolul XIX, zeci de familii să‐şi construiască aici viața. Şi‐au creat propria insulă într‐o mare de alte nații. A fost destul de simplu, pentru că aveau portul şi propriile vapoare care îi legau de Elada. Dar vremurile s‐au schimbat şi, precum alte insule greceşti astăzi puțin locuite, şi „insula grecească” din portul Brăila a fost, încet, părăsită pentru alte locuri mai prielnice pentru comerț liber sau pentru libertate de exprimare.
