  • From Assimilation to Kalomoira: Satellite Television and Its Place in New York City’S Greek Community
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Directory of Open Access Journals © 2011, Global Media Journal -- Canadian Edition Volume 4, Issue 1, pp. 163-178 ISSN: 1918-5901 (English) -- ISSN: 1918-591X (Français) From Assimilation to Kalomoira: Satellite Television and its Place in New York City’s Greek Community Michael Nevradakis University of Texas at Austin, United States Abstract: This paper examines the role that imported satellite television programming from Greece has played in the maintenance and rejuvenation of Greek cultural identity and language use within the Greek-American community of New York City—the largest and most significant in the United States. Four main concepts guide this paper, based on prior theoretical research established in the field of Diaspora studies: authenticity, assertive hybridity, cultural capital, and imagined communities. Satellite television broadcasts from Greece have targeted the audience of the Hellenic Diaspora as an extension of the homeland, and as a result, are viewed as more “authentic” than Diaspora-based broadcasts. Assertive hybridity is exemplified through satellite programming such as reality shows and the emergence of transnational pop stars such as Kalomoira, who was born and raised in New York but attained celebrity status in Greece as the result of her participation on the Greek reality show Fame Story. Finally, satellite television broadcasts from Greece have fostered the formation of a transnational imagined community, linked by the shared viewing of Greek satellite programming and the simultaneous consumption of Greek pop culture and acquisition of cultural capital. All of the above concepts are evident in the emergence of a Greek “café culture” and “sports culture”, mediated by satellite television and visible in the community’s public spaces.

  • Competing Mexican and Anglo Placenaming in Texas, 1821–1836 Gene Rhea Tucker University of Texas at Arlington, USA
    names, Vol. 59 No. 3, September, 2011, 139–51 Re-Naming Texas: Competing Mexican and Anglo Placenaming in Texas, 1821–1836 Gene Rhea Tucker University of Texas at Arlington, USA When Mexico gained its independence from the Spanish Empire in 1821, numerous placenames across the country changed to become uniquely “Mexican.” This “national project” of Mexicanization attempted to foster a nation-wide sense of mexicanidad, highlighting the country’s Amerindian past and commemorating its patriotic heroes. Communities and provinces of the former New Spain chose new toponyms to emphasize their newfound Mexican identity. This process extended to the northern province of Texas, as officials and settlers tried to utilize typically Mexican placenames in an attempt to Mexicanize the province. The toponyms used by settlers in Texas, however, reflected the stresses between its Mexican and Anglo inhabitants. Though some settlers tried to prove their loyalty to Mexico, most immi- grants from the United States, with little respect for their new homeland, clung tenaciously to their culture and refused to assimilate. This included their use of the English language and typically American placenames. Mexico lost the power to name Texas, and it eventually lost power in Texas. keywords Mexico, Texas, toponyms, Mexicanization, nationalism Toponyms, like any other cultural artifact, can illustrate the history of a place and the people who lived there. Nation-states have utilized placenames to project their power over the landscape and the population under their control. They can use the power of names to create a sense of nationalism, honoring heroes and history. One popular example is the Russian city of St Petersburg, which, for political reasons, went from St Petersburg to Petrograd to Leningrad and back to St Petersburg over eight decades in the twentieth century.
