  • Sino-Greek Relations in Greek and Chinese Media, 2020
    ‘ Sino-Greek Relations in Greek and Chinese Media, 2020 Plamen Tonchev Research Associates: Pavlos Petidis, Yuliana Porja, Yannis Yannopoulos March 2021 FOREWORD The Institute of International Economic Relations (IIER) has carried out systematic research into Sino-Greek relations in recent years, including in-depth studies of ‘Chinese Investment in Greece and the Big Picture of Sino-Greek Relations’ (2017) and ‘China’s Image in Greece, 2008-2018’. Since 2016, the institute has regularly contributed chapters on Greece to the annual reports released by the European Think-tank Network on China (ETNC). This report is yet another step forward in enriching IIER’s China expertise. What is qualitatively new about this specific research is the comparative analysis of Greek and Chinese media in 2020 and early 2021. It is hoped that the report will contribute to a growing body of international literature on the crucial role of media in shaping perceptions and, in particular, the way China projects its narratives as foreign policy tools. The study is based on a mix of: (i) quantitative media monitoring within a representative sample of influential Greek print media outlets, while several TV channels are also covered by the research; (ii) a qualitative appraisal of Greece-related themes presented by major Chinese media; (iii) comparative analysis of media coverage of the two countries and their relations by Greek and Chinese media. After an extensive review of data on both sides, the team dove beneath the surface for possible explanations of the trends identified. The research methodology is presented in the Annex. While writing this report, the authors have identified areas for further research into the specific audience targeted by Chinese media in Greece or appropriate metrics that could help capture the effectiveness of China’s policies in the media sector.

Study of Greek same-sex relations since Sir Kenneth Dover’s influen- tial Greek Homosexuality (London, 1978) has been dominated by a hi- erarchical understanding of the pederastic relations assumed to be normative between older, sexually and emotionally active “lovers” and younger, sexually and emotionally passive “beloveds.” Michel Foucault’s subsequent History of Sexuality: Vol. 2, The Use of Pleasure (New York, 1986) was heavily influenced by Dover’s collection of evidence and concretized these roles into formalized “sexual proto- cols.” Self-consciously invoking Foucault was David Halperin’s One Hundred Years of Homosexuality (London, 1990), which envisioned phallic penetration as a trope for the asymmetrical political em- powerment of adult citizen males over “women, boys, foreigners, and slaves—all of them persons who do not enjoy the same legal and political rights and privileges that he does” (Halperin, p. 30).

Its contribution to the historiography of the period stems from the fact that it constitutes the first academic study of the third largest resistance organisation in Greece, the 5/42 regiment of evzones. The study of this national resistance organisation can thus extend our knowledge of the Greek resistance effort, the political relations between the main resistance groups, the conditions that led to the civil war and the domestic relevance of British policies.

  • (May 1)—The Risen Christ Appears to His Disciples PRAY That You Will Be Open to What Jesus Means When He Says
    Day 121 (May 1)—The Risen Christ Appears to His Disciples PRAY that you will be open to what Jesus means when He says, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” READ—John 20:19-21:25 OBSERVE—We’ve covered John 18:1-20:19 in our study of the passages common to the Gospels. In the events surrounding Jesus’ death, John parallels the Synoptic Gospels more closely than anyplace else. His account of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances adds a great deal to our understanding of those incredible days! v.19-23—Though R.C. Sproul cautions us against assuming that the risen Christ passed through the door and into the room where the huddled disciples sat (Knowing Scripture, p. 46), it’s hard to see any other intention from John’s language. He seems to be describing a supernatural appearance, though Jesus immediately calms their fears by showing His hands and side. Before the dramatic appearance of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Jesus gave Him to His followers in a quiet, but dramatic, fashion. Their spiritual power and authority as leaders of the infant church would enable them to exercise church discipline. v.24-29—We mentioned earlier that one of the reasons Thomas may not have been with the other disciples is that he was dealing with his own grief at disappointing his Lord (John 11:16). Though Thomas is a pragmatist and empiricist, when proof is offered, his response is perfect, “My Lord and my God!” As a message to future believers, Jesus emphasizes that faith is believing what is not seen (Hebrews 11:1), not requiring proof.
