Each Session had a special subject which was treated by the invited lecturers. The IOA activities began with the 9th Postgraduate Seminar on Olympic Studies held at the IOA premises from May 5th to June 15th 2001. The special subject of the Seminar was: "Olympic Games: An overview of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and "Athens 2004", identical to the special subject of the 4th Session, the minutes of which are published in another Annual Report. Thirty selected students (11 men and 19 women) from 23 countries participated in the 9th Postgraduate Seminar. As in 2000, the number of women exceeded the number of men. Students from Slovenia, Ro- mania, Puerto Rico, FYROM and Ecuador took part in the Seminar for the first time. The high level works of the Seminar were supervised by the following distinguished professors: Dr. Wolfgang Decker (Ger- many), Dr. Evangelos Albanidis (Greece), Mr. David Wallenchinsky (U.S.A.), Dr. Kostas Georgiadis (Greece), Dr. Norbert Müller (Germany), Dr. Wojciech Liponsky (Poland), Dr. John MacAloon (U.S.A.), Dr. Angela Schneider (Canada), Dr. Bruce Kidd (Canada), Dr. John Daly (Austra- lia). Most of the participants were Ph.D. candidates (18) and post- graduate Master students (9). In addition, an administrative employee of the IOC library, a NOA Director and an Undergraduate student took part in the Seminar. Most students attended PE courses (17). The rest of them came from the following Schools: Medicine (1), Archaeology (1), Political Sci- ences and Philosophy (1), Psychology (1), Economics (1), Mathematics- History (1), the Pedagogical Institute (1), and Journalism (1). The students were, as every year, guided around Athens, in the archaeological sites and the Acropolis Museum, the Ancient Agora, the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, the archaeological sites of Isthmus, Nemea, Epidauros, Mycenae, the Temple of Epikourios Apollo (Vassai), Olympia and Delphi. - 7 - Stephen Miller, (supervisor of the excavations), offered an excellent two- hour tour at the archaeological sites and the Museum of Nemea. All the students attended the lectures given by the supervising lecturers, with great interest. The professors' lectures regarded subjects related to sport in Ancient Greece, the Ancient and Modern Olympic Games, the Olympic Education, the social and political parameters of the Olympic Movement and the philosophy and ethics of the Olympic ideal. The fact that the majority of students wished to conduct a doctorate thesis related to the Olympic Movement was remarkable. The presentations of the student's papers constituted an important asset to the success of the program. There was a significant number of original research papers and most of the students were informed for the first time on the research work and the views of other col- leagues from different parts of the planet. The results from the evaluation of the questionnaires filled in by the students, regarding the purpose and the goals of the Seminar, were exceptional. The students pointed out almost unanimously that they enlightened their misunderstandings regarding Olympism, en- riched their knowledge, formed more favorable views on the Olympic Movement, acquired new ideas. Generally speaking, the Seminar con- tributed to the goals of the Olympic Movement by offering a broad variety of learning experiences. Nine students participated in the examinations of the joint Master programme of the IOA and the University of Loughborough, under the supervision of the following professors: prof. Dr. Ian Henry (GBR), Dr. Eleni Theodoraki (GBR), the IOA Dean, Dr. Kostas Georgiadis and one independent examiner, Dr. Udu Merkel (GER). The participating stu- dents succeeded in the examinations and received a recognized di- ploma of participation with 30 credits, which enables them to proceed, if they wish, with their postgraduate studies in Loughborough. The 5th Joint International Session for Educationists and Officials of Higher Institutes of Physical Education was conducted in the prem- ises of the I.O.A. from the 20th until the 27th of July 2001. The pro- fessors are educated on Olympic issues in order to contribute to the introduction of the course of Olympic Education in their Schools. Uni- versities in many countries have already founded centers for Olympic Studies. Sixty-six participants (40 men, 26 women) and 10 lecturers from 43 countries participated in the Session. The Session's special -8- subject was: "The Greek Olympic and cultural heritage and the Olym- pic Games of Athens 2004". The special subject was treated in their lectures by the following professors: Stavros Lambrinidis (Greece), Dr. Charles Rutherford (Great Britain), Dr. Eleana Yalouri (Greece), Dr. Lamartine Dacosta (Brazil), Dr. Kurt Weis (Germany), Dr. Christina Koulouris (Greece), Dr. Mimi Murray (USA), Dr. Sonaibou Gouda (Benin) and Dr. John Cheffers (USA). The Session begun with the presentation of the work accom- plished so far by the Organising Committee and the Greek Government on the preparation of the Athens Olympic Games. Athens is getting ready at a quick place to welcome its guests. It was made clear that the city will live up to the expectations of the Olympic Movement. The participants and the lecturers stressed that Athens and Ancient Olympia constitute cities of remembrance of the Olympic Games and sport and could therefore form a benchmark on a global scale. The Greek cultural heritage should, of course, be projected in a way com- prehensible by all. The participants also expressed their wish to wit- ness the universality of the modem Olympic Games in the creative combination of Olympic Ideal and real life, during the Athens' 2004 Olympic Games. They suggested that emphasis should be laid on the Olympic Torch Relay, because it will remind people of the values of hope, solidarity, common ownership and coexistence. The Olympic Games, through institutions such as Olympic Truce, which could be established in combination with the Olympic Torch Relay, could pro- mote once again their social and cultural value. The participants' innermost wish was the effort to restore the Olym- pic Ideal and highlight, during the Athens Games, the fundamental values of Physical Education, such as: effort, excellence, global par- ticipation, team spirit, art, cultivation of sporting spirit, equality, free- dom. They also suggested that the 4 virtues of wisdom, justice, happiness and moderation should be adopted and accompany the Games. The Olympic Games and their philosophy have certainly

  • Contextualizing Ancient Greek Blood Sports

    Contextualizing Ancient Greek Blood Sports

    Contextualizing Ancient Greek Blood Sports While research on Roman spectacles of bestial violence (e.g. venationes, damnatio ad bestias) has had success in elucidating the cultural and universal meanings of these events, less attention has been paid to acts of communal violence against animals within the ancient Greek world. There is ample evidence for the existence of quail flipping, partridge fighting, bull fighting, cockfighting, and other acts such as bull leaping and animal baiting, to show that the Greeks found value in these blood sports. Although past scholars have addressed issues such as the symbolism of cocks and cockfighting (Csapso 1993) and the potential psychology and sociology underlying the events (Shelton 2011; Geertz 1971 on Balinese cockfighting), few have attempted to analyze these various games and contests within the overarching scheme of Greek athletics. While victories in chariot racing at Olympia could confer honor onto a polis (one may recall Alcibiades boasting of such a deed during the debate about the Sicilian expedition, Thucydides, 6.16), the outcome of the smaller blood sports brought about honors inherently limited to closed circles of individuals. Further, the heightened violence of these games necessitates an analysis in regards to their social functions and meanings. While it is accepted that blood sports among the Greeks could serve as markers of status and masculinity (Kyle 2007), further research is needed to explain why these events could serve such a function and also how the honors obtained differed from those acquired through the games and athletics of the Pan-Hellenic sanctuaries. Given the richness of evidence in both the literary and material record, the Greek predilection for cockfighting is a natural place to begin an inquiry into Greek blood sports.

The facility is located in Sydney’s suburb of Homebush, in the middle of the Olympic Park of the Australian city. When it was inaugurated, due to its 110,000 seats, it immediately conquered the “largest Olympic stadium in the world” title and at the same time it is the largest in Australia. The structure was designed and built with the intent of respecting demanding environmental conditions: compared to other Olympic stadiums (Athens and Beijing), as an example, less steel was used. The construction was started in September 1996 and completed just two and a half years later: on March 6, 1999, Sydney’s Olympic Stadium saw its first sport event: two rugby13 matches watched by 104,583 spectators. From October 2001 to October 2003, Stadium Australia was refurbished to make it the only stadium in the world capable of hosting five different professional sports: Rugby13 league, Rugby15 (Union), Australian Football, Soccer and Cricket.

    A Dialogic Narrative Contextualisation of Liminal Identity

    European Scientific Journal September 2019 edition Vol.15, No.26 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Conversion and Memory: A Dialogic Narrative Contextualisation of Liminal Identity Katica Kulavkova, PhD Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts (MASA), Republic of Macedonia Jasmina Ilievska-Marjanovic, BA Independent Researcher, Republic of Macedonia Doi:10.19044/esj.2019.v15n26p26 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2019.v15n26p26 Abstract Ethnic and religious conversion is deeply engraved in the history and memory of the Macedonian people, yet it remains a painful taboo subject. The paper is interested in the treatment of this topic in the New Macedonian Novel, which brought this problem from the collective unconscious into the public dialogue and shed light on its reoccurrence today. The analysis focuses on the novel The Book of Heavens (2000) by Krste Chachanski since it is equally representative of the topic of conversion to Islam in the Ottoman past, the poetics of the New Macedonian Novel, and the Macedonian dialogic and liminal identity. The Book of Heavens is set at the end of the 18th century in mountainous Macedonia, the forsaken Balkan periphery of the Ottoman Empire. It is centred around Adnan Pasha, the bi-religious and bi-cultural Janissary from Macedonia, his internal turmoil, and his quest for becoming the ethical warrior of his wilful choosing. The novel is a meta-historical and multi-voiced parable of dialogism and liminality in the context of human cognition, identity, and culture. But it is also a mythopoetic and magical realist saga for the ethical warrior, for the Macedonian tragically split and persecuted identity, for the syncretic civilisational borders and peripheries, and for protecting the palimpsest memory of human culture.

The Mediterranean Sea is among the heavily affected regions and the common bloom - forming taxa are scyphozoans Aurelia aurita s.l., Pelagia noctiluca, and Rhizostoma pulmo. Jellyfish have few natural predators, therefore their carcasses at the termination of a bloom represent an organic-rich substrate that supports rapid bacterial growth, and may have a large impact on the surrounding environment. The focus of this study was to explore whether jellyfish substrate have an impact on bacterial community phylotype selection. We conducted in situ jellyfish - enrichment experiment with three different jellyfish species. Bacterial dynamic together with nutrients were monitored to assess decaying jellyfish-bacteria dynamics. Our results show that jellyfish biomass is characterized by protein rich organic matter, which is highly bioavailable to ‘jellyfish - associated’ and ‘free - living’ bacteria, and triggers rapid shifts in bacterial population dynamics and composition. Based on 16S rRNA clone libraries and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis, we observed a rapid shift in community composition from unculturable Alphaproteobacteria to culturable species of Gammaproteobacteria and Flavobacteria. The results of sequence analyses of bacterial isolates and of total bacterial community determined by culture independent genetic analysis showed the dominance of the Pseudoalter- omonadaceae and the Vibrionaceae families.
