Portal del coneixement obert de la UPC Quaderns d’Història de l’Enginyeria volum xiii 2012 GREECE AT THE PARIS UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION IN 1878 Konstantinos Chatzis [email protected] Georgia Mavrogonatou [email protected] “Greece is part of the Orient”, one can read in a letter by Jules Ferry, the French ambassador in Athens at the turn of the 1870s1. Ferry’s vision of Greek “otherness” was all but exceptional. The uprising of Greeks against the Ottoman rule in the 1820s aroused waves of sympathy throughout Romantic Europe of the time. It even gave birth to a movement known as Philhellenism, which fought for the cause of the people whose forebears “shaped the mind of Europe”2. But Philhellenism was doomed to live a rather short life, at least as a strong and influential movement3. Indeed, Greece eventually gained its independence in 1832, but the young nation proved unable to honour the expectations vested in it by the Philhellenists’ imagination: to be the equal of Plato, Aeschylus or Pericles was for sure a tough business for the 800.000-odd inhabitants of the Kingdom of Greece, painfully emerging out of a devastated post-war landscape4. Though Philhellenists were not to disappear completely from the European stage, Philhellenism soon lost much of its initial momen- tum. It was rather the numerous contemptuous observers of Modern Greece 1 Quoted by BASCH, Sophie (1995) Le mirage grec.

To experience this work as it was intended, please point your World Wide Web browser to: http:/ /xroads.virginia.edu/ ~MA96/WCE/title.html Many thanks to John Bunch for his time and patience while I created this hypertextual thesis, and to my advisor Alan Howard for his great suggestions, support, and faith.,.I've truly enjoyed this year-long adventure! I'd like to dedicate this thesis, and my work throughout my Master's Program in English/ American Studies at the University of Virginia to my husband, Craig. Without his love, support, encouragement, and partnership, this thesis and degree could not have been possible. 1 INTRODUCTION The World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, was the last and the greatest of the nineteenth century's World's Fairs. Nominally a celebration of Columbus' voyages 400 years prior, the Exposition was in actuality a reflection and celebration of American culture and society--for fun, edification, and profit--and a blueprint for life in modem and postmodern America.

  • The Transfer of the Exposition Form from Europe to Japan and China: the Case of Jury Awards
    The Transfer of the Exposition Form from Europe to Japan and China: The Case of Jury Awards Jeffer Daykin Though large-scale events bringing merchants from distant lands together in ephemeral marketplaces have existed across cultures for over a millennium, the “exposition” form that emerged from Europe’s Industrial Revolution was qualitatively different than earlier trade fairs. Beyond adding comprehensive arrays of technological innovations to the variety of exhibited products, the events themselves were held for a greater variety of purposes, some of which could be at odds with its functions as a consumer marketplace. Goals of educating the public to inspire continued technological innovation and to inculcate the value of modernizing efforts in society at large were emphasized by the originators of this new exposition form yet the notion of the free exchange of ideas stood in contradiction with the more commercial purposes of the events from their outset. Emerging from this conflict was the feature of jury awards for exhibits which came to be a near requirement for events to be deemed an exposition. By examining the context in which the jury awards element was first incorporated and tracing how it was transformed over time as the exposition form was transferred beyond the West to Japan and China, we can see how the tension between educative and commercial functions of expositions were ultimately resolved in favor of the host-locale’s primary interest. More developed nations like those in the West employed jury awards primarily to confirm the quality of exhibits for commercial purposes while late-developing nations such as Japan and China used jury awards to promote domestic innovation and technology transfer.

  • Towards the Expo 2015
    Towards the Expo 2015 1 Towards the Expo 2015 An Expo is a large international event that aims at the enrichment of human knowledge and technological progress, to promote cooperation and dialogue with international press. Given the importance of these major events, for almost a century now the need has arisen to standardise some aspects, such as duration, frequency and above all quality. The Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), established in 1928 with the International Convention of Paris is the international organisation responsible for establishing the parameters that control the Expo; the objective of the BIE is therefore to guarantee continuity of these events and maintain the level of international prestige earned over the years, selecting venues and dates and organising new Expos. The members of this organisation, with official headquarters in Paris, are all the States that have signed the convention. There are two different types of Expo: "Universal Expositions" (World Expo) and "International Expositions" (International Expo). The Expositions in the first category involve topics that concern the whole of humanity and therefore are global in nature. States, International Organisations, NGOs, Companies and other institutions can participate in these events, there is no limit to the size of the Exposition venue, and participants arrange the set-up of their own pavilions. Since 1996 these events have lasted six months and take place every five years. A Universal Expo will take place in Milan in 2015. 122 On the other hand the “International Expositions" take place in the period between the two Universal Expos and last for three months. The possible participants are the same as for a Universal Expo while the theme is more specific.

  • Concepts and Categories in the History of World Expositions: Introductory Remarks
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by OpenstarTs Guido Abbattista Concepts and Categories in the History of World Expositions: Introductory Remarks This collection of essays presents the results of a two-year project carried out in 2012- 2013 at the University of Trieste by a group of researchers from various disciplines working under the direction of this author. We hope the variety of approaches and methods that in- spired the studies may convincingly illustrate some of the original and interesting perspec- tives from which national, international, universal and world expositions can be explored. World’s fairs and expositions have aroused increasing interest among scholars in the last two decades. As the authors of a 2006 essential bibliography point out, research on the history of international exhibitions and world’s fairs is burgeoning and […] sources on the topic have proliferated enormously in recent years. As a consequence, the field has grown tremendously and now involves disciplines as diverse as History, Cultural Geography, Urban Studies, Art History and the History of Architecture, among others.1 Scholars now have a growing number of specialized publications and reference texts in several languages at their disposal, including an Encyclopedia of World’s Fairs and Expositions2 as well as works on particular expositions, single national experiences or on 1 A.

Structuring the Ephemeral: The Cultural Significance of World's Fair Architecture Raymond F. Betts For a period of slightly more than one hundred years international expositions created their own majesty as "phantom kingdoms": grandly planned, hastily constructed, greatly admired, quickly forgotten. These "world's fairs" were the emblems of an era confident that its technological achievements would assure greater human progress and international harmony. The ceremonial opening of the Great Exhibition of London was depicted in the Illustrated London News of 3 May 1851 "as the commencement of a new era of peace and good-will." On the occasion of the
