Albanian Families' History and Heritage Making at the Crossroads of New
Voicing the stories of the excluded: Albanian families’ history and heritage making at the crossroads of new and old homes Eleni Vomvyla UCL Institute of Archaeology Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor in Philosophy in Cultural Heritage 2013 Declaration of originality I, Eleni Vomvyla confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature 2 To the five Albanian families for opening their homes and sharing their stories with me. 3 Abstract My research explores the dialectical relationship between identity and the conceptualisation/creation of history and heritage in migration by studying a socially excluded group in Greece, that of Albanian families. Even though the Albanian community has more than twenty years of presence in the country, its stories, often invested with otherness, remain hidden in the Greek ‘mono-cultural’ landscape. In opposition to these stigmatising discourses, my study draws on movements democratising the past and calling for engagements from below by endorsing the socially constructed nature of identity and the denationalisation of memory. A nine-month fieldwork with five Albanian families took place in their domestic and neighbourhood settings in the areas of Athens and Piraeus. Based on critical ethnography, data collection was derived from participant observation, conversational interviews and participatory techniques. From an individual and family group point of view the notion of habitus led to diverse conceptions of ethnic identity, taking transnational dimensions in families’ literal and metaphorical back- and-forth movements between Greece and Albania. -
200Th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence 1821-2021 18 1821-2021
Special Edition: 200th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence 1821-2021 18 1821-2021 A publication of the Dean C. and Zoë S. Pappas Interdisciplinary March 2021 VOLUME 1 ISSUE NO. 3 Center for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies From the Director Dear Friends, On March 25, 1821, in the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnesos, the chieftains from the region of Mani convened the Messinian Senate of Kalamata to issue a revolutionary proclamation for “Liberty.” The commander Petrobey Mavromichalis then wrote the following appeal to the Americans: “Citizens of the United States of America!…Having formed the resolution to live or die for freedom, we are drawn toward you by a just sympathy; since it is in your land that Liberty has fixed her abode, and by you that she is prized as by our fathers.” He added, “It is for you, citizens of America, to crown this glory, in aiding us to purge Greece from the barbarians, who for four hundred years have polluted the soil.” The Greek revolutionaries understood themselves as part of a universal struggle for freedom. It is this universal struggle for freedom that the Pappas Center for Hellenic Studies and Stockton University raises up and celebrates on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Greek Revolution in 1821. The Pappas Center IN THIS ISSUE for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies have prepared this Special Edition of the Hellenic Voice for you to enjoy.

“The Semiotics of the Imagery of the Greek War of Independence. from Delacroix to the Frieze in Otto’S Palace, the Current Hellenic Parliament”
American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS)R) 2020 American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS) E-ISSN: 2378-702X Volume-03, Issue-01, pp 36-41 January-2020 www.arjhss.com Research Paper Open Access “The Semiotics of the Imagery of the Greek War of Independence. From Delacroix to the Frieze in Otto’s Palace, The Current Hellenic Parliament”. Markella-Elpida Tsichla University of Patras *Corresponding Author: Markella-Elpida Tsichla ABSTRACT:- The iconography of the Greek War of Independence is quite broad and it includes both real and imaginary themes. Artists who were inspired by this particular and extremely important historical event originated from a variety of countries, some were already well-known, such as Eugène Delacroix, others were executing official commissions from kings of Western countries, and most of them were driven by the spirit of romanticism. This paper shall not so much focus on matters of art criticism, but rather explore the manner in which facts have been represented in specific works of art, referring to political, religious and cultural issues, which are still relevant to this day. In particular, I shall comment on The Massacre at Chios by Eugène Delacroix, painted in 1824, the 39 Scenes from the Greek War of Independence by Peter von Hess, painted in 1835 and commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, and the frieze in the Trophy Room (currently Eleftherios Venizelos Hall) in Otto’s palace in Athens, currently housing the Hellenic Parliament, themed around the Greek War of Independence and the subsequent events. This great work was designed by German sculptor Ludwig Michael Schantahaler in 1840 and “transferred” to the walls of the hall by a group of Greek and German artists. -
Early Nineteenth-Century British Drama and the Greek War of Independence
Staging Transcultural Relations: Early Nineteenth-Century British Drama and the Greek War of Independence Alexander Grammatikos, Langara College Abstract Keywords This paper examines two British Romantic dramas written Nineteenth-Century British during the Greek War of Independence and its aftermath: George Drama; Greek War of Burges’s The Son of Erin or the Cause of the Greeks (1823) Independence; British Romantic and John Baldwin Buckstone’s The Maid of Athens; or, the Re- Hellenism; Philhellenism; Lord volt of the Greeks (1829). The paper discusses the plays’ portray- Byron als of transcultural interactions between Greeks and Europeans (Irish and British) and argues that the two dramas encourage audiences to see similarities between themselves and Greeks, while also critiquing British apathy toward the Greeks’ efforts to achieve liberation. Despite Burges’s and Buckstone’s shared support for the Greek war, however, an important difference between the two texts exists: while The Son of Erin maintains a relentless attack on the British government for aligning British politics with Ot- toman policies and remaining indifferent toward the Greek war, The Maid of Athens suggests that Britons who take advantage of Greeks’ subjugation misrepresent Britain’s true feelings about the Greek War of Independence. JMH 34 (2019): Special Issue JMH 34 (2019): Special Issue Article: Alexander Grammatikos Introduction In his seminal text, That Greece Might Still Be Free: The Philhellenes in the War of Independence, William St. Clair writes that “[o]ne of the surprising features of the history of philhellenism during the Greek War of Independence is the slowness of the response in Britain. -

At around 4:00 in the afternoon he boarded a trolley for Athens and his Plaka theatre. There he swept the stage, cleaned the theatre of debris from the night before, watered the pebbled floor to cool it, dusted the chairs, and set out the puppets in the order in which they were to appear in the evening's performance. His first wife had accompanied him to the theatre each night to put the house in order and prepare the tickets. -

Aleksandros Ipsilantis Ve Filiki Eteria
MUTAD, 2021; VIII (1): 26–47 (ISSN 2529-0045); DOI: 10.16985/mtad.949302 ARAŞTIRMA MAKALESİ / RESEARCH ARTICLE FENERLİ ARİSTOKRASİSİNDE PROTO-MİLLİYETÇİ BİR ÖRNEK: ALEKSANDROS İPSİLANTİS VE FİLİKİ ETERİA A PROTO-NATIONALIST EXAMPLE IN THE PHANARIOT ARISTOCRACY: ALEXSANDROS YPSILANTIS AND PHILIKI ETAIREIA * Arzu ERMAN1 Öz İstanbul’un fethinin ardından Bizans İmparatorluğu’nun hayatta kalan ve Batı’ya iltica etmeyen aristokrat aileleri Osmanlı Devleti ile bir uzlaşıya giderek İstanbul’da kalmıştır. Ortodoks Rum Patrikhanesinin bulunduğu Fener semtinde yaşamaları nedeniyle Fenerliler olarak adlandırılan bu elit aileler, Osmanlı döneminde de gerek devletin, Rum milleti ile olan ilişkilerinde aracılık yapmaları gerekse zenginlikleri ve bilgi birikimleri ile devlet kademelerinde önemli görevler üstlenmiştir. Bu görevler onları Osmanlı sultanı ve çevresine yakınlaştırırken aynı zamanda sultanın otoritesi altındaki Hristiyan egemenler olarak Osmanlı yönetim sistemine entegre etmiştir. Bu nedenle katı bir ideolojiye sahip siyasi ve sosyal bir grup oluşturmayan Fenerli elit aileler, kendi güçlerinin ve çıkarlarının Müslüman yöneticilerinin yararına olacak şekilde çalışmak olduğunu kavrayarak önemli devlet makamları için birbirleriyle de kıyasıya rekabet etmiştir. Ancak bu elit ailelerden birine mensup Aleksandros İpsilantis’in Osmanlı Devleti’nin siyasi yapısından ayrılarak Yunan bağımsızlığını hedefleyen Filiki Eteria adlı örgütün başkanlığına geçmesi ve ardından da geniş çaplı bir isyan başlatması Osmanlı Devleti nezdinde tüm Fenerlilerin güç ve itibar kaybetmesine neden olmuştur. Bu çalışma, Fenerliler arasında proto-milliyetçi bir hizip olarak kabul edilen Aleksandros İpsilantis ve onun başkanı olduğu Filiki Eteria isimli örgütün tarih yazımımızda karıştırılan ve az bilinen yönlerine ışık tutmayı amaçlamaktadır. Rusya’dan beklediği desteği bulamayan ve Tuna Prenslikleri’nin yerel dinamiklerini iyi hesap edemeyen İpsilantis, 1821 İsyanı’nda başarısız olmuştur. Ancak Filiki üyeleri tarafından kısa süre sonra Mora ve Adalar’da yeni bir isyan başlatılmıştır. -
