Transplanting Surrealism in Greece- a Scandal Or Not?
International Journal of Social and Educational Innovation (IJSEIro) Volume 2 / Issue 3/ 2015 Transplanting Surrealism in Greece- a Scandal or Not? NIKA Maklena University of Tirana, Albania E-mail: [email protected] Received 26.01.2015; Accepted 10.02. 2015 Abstract Transplanting the surrealist movement and literature in Greece and feedback from the critics and philological and journalistic circles of the time is of special importance in the history of Modern Greek Literature. The Greek critics and readers who were used to a traditional, patriotic and strictly rule-conforming literature would find it hard to accept such a kind of literature. The modern Greek surrealist writers, in close cooperation mainly with French surrealist writers, would be subject to harsh criticism for their surrealist, absurd, weird and abstract productivity. All this reaction against the transplanting of surrealism in Greece caused the so called “surrealist scandal”, one of the biggest scandals in Greek letters. Keywords: Surrealism, Modern Greek Literature, criticism, surrealist scandal, transplanting, Greek letters 1. Introduction When Andre Breton published the First Surrealist Manifest in 1924, Greece had started to produce the first modern works of its literature. Everything modern arrives late in Greece due to a number of internal factors (poetic collection of Giorgios Seferis “Mythistorima” (1935) is considered as the first modern work in Greek literature according to Αlexandros Argyriou, History of Greek Literature and its perception over years between two World Wars (1918-1940), volume Α, Kastanioti Publications, Athens 2002, pp. 534-535). Yet, on the other hand Greek writers continued to strongly embrace the new modern spirit prevailing all over Europe. -

Nanos Valaoritis: the Cultural Cross-Breeding of a Cosmopolitan and Protean Writer
Nanos Valaoritis: The Cultural Cross-Breeding of a Cosmopolitan and Protean Writer Nicole Ollier Journal of Modern Greek Studies, Volume 15, Number 1, May 1997, pp. 29-54 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/mgs.1997.0006 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/21770 Access provided by Brunel University London (4 Jun 2017 15:23 GMT) The Cultural Cross-Breeding of Valaoritis 29 Nanos Valaoritis: The Cultural Cross-Breeding of a Cosmopolitan and Protean Writer Nicole Ollier Abstract Nanos Valaoritis is considered an avant-garde writer chiefly owing to his role in promoting French surrealism in Greece and then in California. Parody, pastiche, collage, and effusive referentiality are ubiquitous in his work, but many of these elements could be considered the tools of postmodernism as well as surrealism. The attraction of two antagonistic poles reorients the poet, who turns toward structuralism, poststructuralism and deconstructionism, while blending easily such strategies as Bakhtinian dialogism and carnivalization. He continues to use intertextuality and theorization, ending up in narcissistic self-referentiality. The avant-garde classification is easily reversed by borrowing Valaoritis’s absurdist syllogisms, so that this pioneer might just as well be the last of a group on the verge of extinction, waiting for the rebirth of yet another avant-garde. …rism°nai l°jeiw, l°jeiw-xrhsmo¤, l°jeiw •n≈sevw ècidvt∞w ka¤ korufa¤aw, l°jeiw m° shmas¤an éprosm°trhton diã tÒ -

205 CATERINA CARPINATO PER UN’ANTOLOGIA DELLA POESIA GRECA CONTEMPORANEA SCHEDA BIOBIBLIOGRAFIA DI ANDREAS EMBIRIKOS E SCELTA DI TESTI* SCHEDA BIOGRAFICA Figlio di Leonidas Embirikos e Stefania Kidonieu (russa da parte di madre), Andreas nasce a Braila, in Romania, il due settembre del 1901. * Poeti greci del Novecento doveva essere il titolo di un’antologia che preparavo da anni per un’im- portante casa editrice milanese. Il lavoro, complesso e impegnativo, ha attraversato varie fasi fino quasi a giungere ad un punto di arrivo: l’antologia – che inizialmente comprendeva circa un’ottanti- na poeti con una selezione di testi non particolarmente ampia – avrebbe dovuto presentarsi al pub- blico in modo completamente diverso. Dopo aver allestito la editio maior avevo cominciato l’opera di sintesi che alla fine comprendeva solo 16 poeti (da Palamàs fino alla generazione del Settanta): i quattro grandi poeti – noti anche ai non specialisti di poesia greca moderna – (Kavafis, Seferis, Ritsos ed Elitis) e pochi altri autori, rappresentati e scelti secondo un criterio personale (come avviene in ogni opera del genere). Ogni poeta scelto si sarebbe presentato al pubblico italiano con una selezione di versi piuttosto ampia (almeno trenta-quaranta testi poetici) per poter consentire una visione quanto più possibile completa dell’opera complessiva dell’autore prescelto. Oltre alla scheda biografica, bibliografica (con particolare riguardo alla produzione scientifica accademica italiana ed alle precedenti traduzioni pubblicate nella nostra lingua) ogni autore sarebbe stato pre- sentato da un ricco apparato di testi in originale e traduzione, con ampie note. Avevo individuato il destinatario ideale di questo progetto nel lettore di poesia del Novecento (ma anche nel nostro pubblico studentesco che si ritrova nelle aule universitarie senza strumenti didattici specifici e senza le conoscenze linguistiche e culturali che possano rendergli facilmente accessibili per la conoscenza diretta del patrimonio letterario greco moderno). -

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Rhea Lesage June 11, 2018 [email protected] Nikos Gatsos archive at Harvard Library sheds light on Greek cultural history Harvard Library has acquired the archive of influential Greek poet and lyricist Nikos Gatsos (1911-1992), preserving his life’s work for future generations of researchers Key Points: • Manuscripts, personal correspondence, music, notebooks, photographs, and more from the avant-garde twentieth century writer will be made available to scholars around the world • The collection spans the humanities—from literature to music, social commentary to cultural history, philosophy to folklore CAMBRIDGE, MA—The archive of Greek poet and lyricist Nikos Gatsos has found a permanent home at Harvard Library. The acquisition is a key addition to the Library’s collections in Greek literature and civilization and will be made available to students and scholars around the world. Nikos Gatsos (1911-1992) had a profound influence on the post-war generation of Greek poets. Writing of both loss and hope, Gatsos’s unique blend of surrealism, symbolism and folk song created intense admiration and assured his place alongside his friends, Nobel laureates Odysseas Elytis and George Seferis, as one of the great twentieth-century Greek poets. The poet at 28 years old, Panagiotis Roilos, George Seferis Professor of Modern Greek 1939-40 Studies and Professor of Comparative Literature at Harvard, strongly encouraged the Library to acquire the archive. “Nikos Gatsos was one of the most prominent figures of the European avant-garde. His long poem Amorgos, which was published in 1943, during the occupation of Greece by the Germans and their allies, was almost instantly hailed by both critics and poets as an emblematic work of Greek surrealism.” Roilos continued, “The Gatsos archive will be a major addition to Harvard's archives on European modernism and of course to its unique collection on Greek literature and culture. -
