  • Date De Contact Ale Autorului
    Date de contact ale autorului E-mail: [email protected] Facebook: ilijasfera Armanii din Serbia Cel mai timpuriu document istoric care pomeneste despre existenta vlahilor, este un vechi manuscris rusesc "Povest vremjonih ljet", scris in veacul al XII-lea, care descrie anul 898, venirea si cucerirea Panoniei de catre unguri, pomeneste concret si de existenta vlahilor. "Venisera ugri (unguri) din rasarit si s-au napustit peste muntii inalti si au inceput sa se razboiasca cu vlahi si sloveni...” Un alt zapis din anul 1066, scris de catre autorul bizantin Kekaumenos, de origine armean din Tesalia, aminteste deasemenea despre o intelegere dintre vlahi, greci si slavi pentru a protesta impotriva unor dari noi impuse de bizantini. Majoritatea istoricilor sunt de parere ca denumirea de vlah a aparut in Eviul Mediu, ca a fost data de catre triburile germanice sau de catre slavi, denumire pentru bastinasi traco-iliri romanizati din peninsula balcanica. Eu consider ca acest termen de vlah, este mult mai vechi si deriva din timpuri stravechi, de la cultul zeului Val, Bal, Moloh…etc, una si aceiasi denumire cu Armis la traci si Hermes la greci. De aici provine si numele antic Sarmisegetuza, capitala geto-dacilor, dar si numele de Arman, al macedo-vlahilor (https://talcuireapocalipsa.wordpress.com/2017/10/07/sarmisegetuzadenumiresi mbolica-marcul-viteazul/). Dupa batalia de la Pydna (168 I.Hr), Macedonia este cucerita si ocupata de Imperiul Roman si inceteaza sa mai existe ca stat independent. Dupa spusele multor autori, o alta mare lovitura, nu doar pentru macedo-vlahi, ci si pentru vlahi nord dunareni va fi navalirea popoarelor slave in veacul VI si VII, care treptat vor desparti legaturile dintre vlahi de nord si sud.

    Retranslating Philosophy: The Role of Plato’s Republic in Shaping and Understanding Politics and Philosophy in Modern Greece Effrossyni Fragkou Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the PhD degree in Translation Studies School of Translation and Interpretation Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Effrossyni Fragkou, Ottawa, Canada, 2012 2 Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the help, contribution, and support of a great number of people who held my hand along the difficult path of its creation and during its different stages. I am particularly greatful to one of the greatest professors I ever had the pleasure and privilege to work with and thanks to whom I received my very first initiation in Translations Studies, the late Daniel Simeoni. I am also intellectually indebted to professors Claude Tatilon, Alan Baudot, and Maria Pateli for showing faith in my capacities and encouraging me to follow my dreams. I am also very greatful to Karen Van Dyck, Dalie Giroux, Salah Basalamah and Francisco Gonzalez for their valuable comments. I have been very fortunate to be surrounded and loved by a great number of people, such as friends, co-workers, and family all of whom provided practical, financial, intellectual and moral support when I needed it the most. I am particularly greatful to Mehdrad, Tony, Elsa, Markos, Lola, Manos, Denis, Kostas, Marianna, Despina; all my friends from Multi-languages; my clients who gave me work when I needed the extra money; and the various publishers who showed faith in my translations and decided to publish them.

  • Church of Greece Under Axis Occupation
    Church of Greece under Axis Occupation A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Panteleymon E Anastasakis IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Adviser: Theofanis G. Stavrou August 2009 © Panteleymon E Anastasakis, August 2009 Acknowledgements Completion of this dissertation would not have been possible without the constant support of teachers, family, and friends, and I am pleased to have the opportunity to thank them all. Among the several teachers who have contributed substantially to my “paedeia,” I would like first to thank members of my dissertation committee. My adviser Professor Theofanis G. Stavrou played a central role in this learning process from the moment I expressed interest in working with him at the University of Minnesota until I defended my dissertation. Among other things, it was he who suggested the dissertation topic of the role of the Church of Greece during the Axis occupation of the country. Throughout my years at Minnesota, he provided valuable advice and encouragement, and continued to have faith in me even when I wavered. Professor John Kim Munholland maintained a deep interest in my work at all times. He encouraged me to view the Greek experience in the broader European context of the Second World War, occupation, and resistance. From our first seminar until my dissertation defense, his insightful comments played a crucial role in shaping me as a scholar. Similarly, Professor Sarah Chambers, a Latin America expert, contributed her own useful comparative insights to the project. I especially appreciated her suggestion to explore in greater detail society’s expectations from institutions like the church as opposed to expectations from state institutions.

  • European Officers and the Mainland Irregular Forces on the Ionian Islands, 1798–1814: a Comparison of Command and Tactics
    Athens Journal of Mediterranean Studies - Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2021 – Pages 119 - 142 European Officers and the Mainland Irregular Forces on the Ionian Islands, 1798–1814: A Comparison of Command and Tactics By Nicholas Pappas* In the era of the Napoleonic wars, the Ionian Islands off the western coasts of Greece and southern Albania became a base of operations and an area of conflict in the Mediterranean in the years 1797–1814. In that period, Republican French, Russian, Imperial French, and British forces successively occupied these Greek-populated islands, formerly Venetian possessions. Each of these powers attempted to establish a nominally independent "Septinsular Republic" under their protectorate. There were efforts by all of these powers to organize native armed forces, some raised from among refugees from the mainland-bandits (klephtes), former Ottoman irregulars (armatoloi), and clansmen from the autonomous regions of Himara, Souli, and Mani. Although these refugee warriors were skilled in the use of weapons-flintlock firearms, sabres and yataghans-they fought and were organized according to traditions and methods that were different and considered "obsolete" in early nineteenth century Europe. This study will look into the organization, training and command of these troops by Russian, French, and British officers. It will study the successes and failures of these officers in forming these native warriors into regular or semi-regular forces. It will also examine how the attitudes and activities of these officers helped to develop the armed forces of the Greek War of Independence, 1821–1830. Keywords: Napoleonic wars, Ionian Islands, armatoloi and klephtes, military forces Introduction In the generation prior to the Greek Revolution, upwards of four thousand mainland irregulars soldiered on the Ionian Islands.

  • Kent Ve Devlet Arasinda: 18. Yüzyil Selanik Kirsalinda Güç Ve Sermaye Dinamikleri
    Cihannüma Tarih ve Coğrafya Araştırmaları Dergisi Sayı I/2 – Aralık 2015, 1-22 KENT VE DEVLET ARASINDA: 18. YÜZYIL SELANİK KIRSALINDA GÜÇ VE SERMAYE DİNAMİKLERİ İrfan Kokdaş Özet Akdeniz’deki liman kentleri anlatılarını eleştiren bu çalışma, ekonomik dönüşüm, siyasal hiyerarşi, erken modern Osmanlı taşra yönetimi açısından Selanik’te değişen toplumun unsurlarını incelemektedir. On sekizinci yüzyıl taşra toplumunda meydana gelen değişimler çok farklı dinamiklerin etkileşimi sonucu ortaya çıkmıştı. Bu dinamikler, reayanın hareketliliği, kırsalda ortaya çıkan siyasi güçler, büyük toprak sahipliliğinin artışı ve paramiliter kuvvetlerin gücünün artışı idi. Selanik ve çevresindeki kentlerin etrafındaki kırsal alanda belirginleşen güç ve mülkiyet ilişkilerine yeni bir bakış sunan bu çalışma, bu anlamda erken modern dönemdeki kır-kent ilişkilerinin yeniden yorumlanmasını amaç edinmektedir. Bunun yanında, şehir tarihçiliğini domine eden hinterland, kırsaldaki kent hâkimiyeti ve portfolyo kapitalistler gibi kavramların yeniden sorgulanmasını önermektedir. Bu çalışma, kentteki Avrupalı tüccarların ya da komprador burjuvanın stratejilerinden ziyade, toprak sahipleri, köylüler ve Osmanlı merkezi arasındaki ortaya çıkan yeni ilişki ağlarının Selanik’teki erken modern ekonomik büyümeyi ve siyasi yapıları belirlediğini iddia etmektedir. Anahtar Sözcükler: Selanik, kent-kır ilişkileri, erken modern dönem, çiftlik, Osmanlı liman kentleri Between City and State: Power and Capital Relations in the Eighteenth-Century Salonikan Countryside Abstract By challenging
