Από την πρώτη στιγμή τέθηκαν δύο βασικοί στόχοι: πρώτον, η διερεύνηση των ιστορικών, πολιτικών, οικονομικών και πολιτισμικών διαστάσεων του ελληνικού επαναστατικού φαινομένου, αξιοποιώντας τις σύγχρονες, διεθνείς, ιστοριογραφικές προσεγγίσεις που τοποθετούν το συγκεκριμένο γεγονός στο ευρύτερο επαναστατικό κύμα το οποίο κατακλύζει την Ευρώπη και τον κόσμο στα τέλη του 18ου και τις αρχές του 19ου αιώνα· και δεύτερον, η εξοικείωση των φοιτητών με ευρείες ερμηνείες της Ελληνικής Επανάστασης στη συγχρονία αλλά και διαχρονικά, οι οποίες επαναφέρουν τον αναστοχασμό και την κριτική σκέψη στο σημαντικό αυτό ζήτημα της νεότερης ιστορίας και οδηγούν στην απαγκίστρωση από τα στερεότυπα της σχολικής ιστορίας, της δημόσιας εθνικιστικής ρητορείας και των αποστεωμένων εορτασμών. Μέσα σ’ αυτό το πλαίσιο, το Τμήμα Ιστορίας-Αρχαιολογίας εγκαινίασε συνεργασία με τον Δήμο Νικολάου Σκουφά, η οποία οδήγησε σε δύο διεθνή συνέδρια που πραγματοποιήθηκαν στις 7-9 Ιουλίου 2013 και στις 26-27 Ιουλίου 2014, αφιερωμένα διαδοχικά στον Φιλελληνισμό και την Φιλική Εταιρεία.

    From Absence to Trauma: A Study on the Representation of the Occupation and the Civil War in Greek Films of the Period 1946-1989 by Dimos Dimoulas A dissertation submitted to the Department of Translation and Intercultural Studies, School of English, Faculty of Philosophy, In fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece June 2017 ii iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would have never been able to complete my dissertation without the guidance of my advisor, help from my friends, and support from my family. It is my great pleasure to acknowledge people who have given me guidance, help and encouragement. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to my advisor Professor Michalis Kokkonis for the continuous support of my Ph.D. study and related research, for his caring, personal attention, motivation, ample knowledge and for providing me an excellent atmosphere of doing research. His guidance helped me in all the time of research and writing of this thesis. Professor Kokkonis also helped me to develop my background in film theory and history, opening new horizons for me. Each of the members of my Dissertation Committee has provided me extensive personal and professional guidance and taught me a great deal about both scientific research and life in general. I would especially like to thank Professor Yiorgos Kalogeras. Working with Professor Kalogeras has been a pleasure and a privilege; he patiently corrected my writing and his help has been invaluable and much appreciated. My sincere thanks goes to Assistant Professor Eleftheria Thanouli her insightful comments and encouragement, her advice and feedback but also for the hard question which incented me to widen my research from various perspectives.
