He has exhibited his work (solo), in Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Italy, Indonesia, Ecuador, Turkey, Denmark, U.A.E. and Germany. His thematic choices and his personal artistic vocabulary are informed by his experience and observation of the surrounding world. He organizes his exhibitions by using a theatrical attitude: he transforms the mundane every day objects into structural elements of his work. He uses a clean and rich color palette and vivid contrasts. He creates installations by using elements from the existing three dimensional spaces and by transforming them into art forms. He researches with sensitivity the limits between reality and illusion.

  • The Case of Athens
    Uniconflicts 61 05 Crisis ridden space, knowledge production and social struggles: The case of Athens Stefania Gyftopoulou PhD Candidate in Geography, Harokopio University e-mail: [email protected] Asimina Paraskevopoulou PhD Candidate in Development Planning, University College London e-mail: [email protected] 1. CRISIS 1.1. ‘Crisis’ as critique and knowledge The word, ‘crisis’ comes from the Greek verb ‘Krinein’ which means to judge, to form an opinion, to criticize. Crisis does not predefine a specific response. It is the act and the outcome of the critique; the mental act that leads to a response. Accordingly, cri- tique comes from the Greek noun ‘kritiki’. ‘Kritiki’ is carried out in order for ‘krinein’ to take place. Thus, crisis cannot truly exist without the act of critique. Roitman (2011: para 6) provides an enlightening explanation of “how crisis is constructed as an object of knowledge”. It is a 62 Crisis ridden space means to think of history as a narrative of events, politics, culture, relationships and even individual behaviours and norms. It works as a means to judge the past and learn from the past. But when she speaks of judging the past, is she not referring to the act of critique? Foucault asks for a critique that does not plainly evalu- ate whether the object is good or bad, correct or wrong. He speaks of a critique as a practice, producing along this process, different realities - values and truths - hence, a new ‘normalcy’. Thus, crisis is about becoming. 1.2. Crisis as subject formation and governmentality Through the production of ‘truths’ and ‘normalcy’ crisis influenc- es our understanding not only of ourselves but also of the posi- tion we hold in our societies.

It illuminates an aspect of them that has not been taken into account until today: it treats them as commemorative ceremonies that produce, reproduce, and transmit social memory. The interrelation and interdependence between social memory and ethnic identity construction processes are analysed and it is shown that ancient drama performances, due to specific characteristics, constitute something more than mere theatrical events (as they are defined within the Western tradition).

  • Macedonia in Greek Administration
    Preface When in 1821 Greeks started their revolt against the Ottoman Empire and fought for an independent state they had two major ideological issues to deal with: the identity of the new state and its future borders. If Hellas (Ελλάς) was the appropriate name for Modern Greece and ancient glory the most valuable argument for Greek independence, then how could Macedonia been kept apart? After all it was an integral part of Greek ancient history, which had nourished every single generation of educated people—not only Greeks—even before the war of Greek independence. The legendary figure of Alexander the Great had surfed smoothly over centuries of ignorance escorted by powerful myths and tales to find its appropriate position in the last part of 19th century, ancient history textbooks. They were the chapters of the Macedonian Hegemony and the Hellenistic period (4th and 3rd centuries B.C.), which had brought Greek culture to the frontiers of the then known world. Ancient History proved a very solid and enduring foundation for the modern Greek state. In this context, in the last quarter of the 19th century the case of Macedonia, this ill-defined region, was regarded as the final frontier of Hellenism, which Greece had to defend against the Slavs, if it was to survive as a state and not to end up as a sad caricature of Ancient Hellas. The romantic fight of the Greeks for Macedonia—in fact for the littoral part of it—created its own legend, which was shaped through a series of declared and undeclared wars from the 1878 Eastern Crisis to World War II.

  • Turkish Archival Material in Greek Historiography*
    Türkiye Araştırmaları Literatür Dergisi, Cilt 8, Sayı 15, 2010, 755-792 Turkish Archival Material in Greek Historiography* Evangelia BALTA** “L’ histoire est une lutte contre la mort” Jacques Le Goff1 THIS PAPER aims to examine the management of the Turkish archival material apper- taining to “Greek space,” a geographical continuum which functions as the canvas on which the Greek populations were intertwined with time and history. The study describes the place of the Ottoman era in Greek historiography up to 2005. By employing the term “Turkish archives,” this study will focus on the sources written in the Turkish language, thus distinguishing them from the total of the archival material generated in the linguistically and culturally pluralistic Ottoman Empire. This choice was made precisely in order to remove any confusion that the definitive epithet “Ottoman” might cause with regard to the sources produced by other pre-national com- munities of the empire, such as the Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Arabs, etc. This subject imposes a watershed, which is directly articulated with the introduction of Ottoman Studies in Greece and its establishment in the 1980s as a new branch of historical studies, as well as its implications in terms of methods, techniques and the manner in general of approaching the Ottoman past. Consequently, the discussion of this subject will revolve around two axes. First, the fate of the Turkish sources in mod- ern Greek historiography which deal with the Ottoman period, called Tourkokratia (Turkish Domination)2 in the scheme of national history, will be examined. Second, the confrontation and manipulation of these sources by the now international historical dis- * In 2003 several of the author’s articles on Ottoman archives and Ottoman Studies in Greece were published as Evangelia Balta, Ottoman Studies and Archives in Greece, Analecta Isisiana LXX, (Istanbul: The Isis Press, 2003) with relevant bibliography.
