The Maison wanted to breathe new life into the valuable idea of innovation and ways in which to express it. Within a free and at the same time remarkable framework of the unlimited imagination, Louis Vuitton wanted to create a different story, a story which comes together in the language of three world-renowned photographers: Annie Leibovitz, Juergen Teller and Bruce Weber. Much more than an advertising campaign, the aim was to bring three contemporary, individual and personal vocabularies face-to-face via the 2014/2015 Autumn-Winter collection. In an exercise in style, the three photographers shared their personal and very precise vision of modern-day fashion, willingly agreeing to play this enjoyable yet risky game where they would offer up their distinct visions to critical examination. For the first time ever, each accepted that their work would be mirrored by another great photographer. Η Series 1 είναι η πρώτη καμπάνια του Nicolas Ghesquière για την Louis Vuitton. Ο Οίκος ήθελε να δώσει νέα πνοή στην πολύ- τιμη ιδέα της καινοτομίας και στους τρόπους με τους οποίους θα μπορούσε να την εκφράσει. Μέσα σε ένα ελεύθερο και ταυ- τόχρονα αξιοσημείωτο πλαίσιο απεριόριστης φαντασίας, η Louis Vuitton ήθελε να δημιουργήσει μια διαφορετική ιστορία, μια ιστορία που αποκτά οντότητα με τη γλώσσα τριών παγκοσμίως γνωστών φωτογράφων: τους Annie Leibovitz, Juergen Teller και Bruce Weber. Είναι κάτι πολύ παραπάνω από μια διαφημιστική καμπάνια καθως ο στόχος ήταν η συνάντηση τριών σύγχρονων, ατομικών και προσωπικών τρόπων έκφρασης μέσα από την συλλογή Φθινόπωρο-Χειμώνας 2014/2015. Σε μια άσκηση στυλ, οι τρεις φωτογράφοι μοιράστηκαν το προσωπικό και πολύ ακριβές όραμα τους για την σύγχρονη μόδα , συμφωνώντας πρόθυμα να παίξουν αυτό το ευχάριστο αν και επικίνδυνο παιχνίδι όπου θα διέθεταν τα ξεχωριστά τους ορά- ματα προς κριτική εξέταση. Για πρώτη φορά στα χρονικά, ο κάθε ένας από αυτούς δέχτηκε να αναπαραχθεί το έργο του από κάποιον άλλο σπουδαίο φωτογράφο.

BODIES IN THE MARGINS Refiguring the Rebetika as Literature Sophia Schlesinger Faculty Advisor: Andrea Kaston-Tange Macalester English Department Submitted April 25th, 2020 Abstract This thesis engages a literary analysis of a corpus of songs and recordings known as the rebetika (sing. rebetiko), which prospered in the port districts of major cities throughout the Aegean in the early 20th century. Engaging the rebetika as literary texts, I argue, helps us understand how they have functioned as a kind of pressure point on the borders between nation and Other. Without making unproveable biographical claims about the motives of the music progenitors, I examine why so many have reached for the rebetika as texts with which to articulate various political and cultural desires. Using a multidisciplinary theoretical framework that includes Elaine Scarry, Stuart Hall, Edward Said, Mark C.

  • Music Genres and Corporate Cultures
    Music Genres and Corporate Cultures Music Genres and Corporate Cultures explores the workings of the music industry, tracing the often uneasy relationship between entertainment cor- porations and the artists they sign. Keith Negus examines the contrasting strategies of major labels like Sony and Universal in managing different genres, artists and staff, and assesses the various myths of corporate cul- ture. How do takeovers affect the treatment of artists? Why was Poly- Gram perceived as too European to attract US artists? Why and how did EMI Records attempt to change their corporate culture? Through a study of three major genres—rap, country and salsa—Negus investigates why the music industry recognises and rewards certain sounds, and how this influences both the creativity of musicians and their audiences. He explores why some artists get international promotion while others are neglected, and how performers are packaged as ‘world music’. Negus examines the tension between rap’s image as a spontaneous ‘music of the streets’ and the practicalities of the market, asks why execu- tives from New York feel uncomfortable when they visit the country music business in Nashville, and explains why the lack of soundscan sys- tems in Puerto Rican record shops affects salsa’s position on the US Bill- board chart. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with music industry per- sonnel in Britain, the United States and Japan, Music Genres and Corpo- rate Cultures shows how the creation, circulation and consumption of popular music is shaped by record companies and corporate business style while stressing that music production takes place within a broader cul- ture, not totally within the control of large corporations.

    Looking at the Past of Greece through the Eyes of Greeks Maria G. Zachariou 1 Table of Contents Introduction 00 Section I: Archaeology in Greece in the 19th Century 00 Section II: Archaeology in Greece in the 20th Century 00 Section III: Archaeology in Greece in the Early 21st Century 00 Conclusion: How the Economic Crisis in Greece is Affecting Archaeology Appendix: Events, Resources, Dates, and People 00 2 Introduction The history of archaeology in Greece as it has been conducted by the Greeks themselves is too major an undertaking to be presented thoroughly within the limits of the current paper.1 Nonetheless, an effort has been made to outline the course of archaeology in Greece from the 19th century to the present day with particular attention to the native Greek contribution. The presentation of the historical facts and personalities that played a leading and vital role in the formation of the archaeological affairs in Greece is realized in three sections: archaeology in Greece during the 19th, the 20th, and the 21st centuries. Crucial historical events, remarkable people, such as politicians and scholars, institutions and societies, are introduced in chronological order, with the hope that the reader will acquire a coherent idea of the evolution of archaeology in Greece from the time of its genesis in the 19th century to the present. References to these few people and events do not suggest by any means that there were not others. The personal decisions and scientific work of native Greek archaeologists past and present has contributed significantly to the same goal: the development of archaeology in Greece.

  • Early Life Business
    Aristotle Sokratis Onassis (Greek: Αριστοτέλης Ωνάσης, Aristotelis Onasis; 15 January 1906 – 15 March 1975), commonly called Ari orAristo Onassis, was a prominent Greek shipping magnate.[1][2] Some sources claim he was born in 1900 but that he later changed his date of birth so as to avoid deportation from Turkey.[citation needed] Early life Onassis was born in Karatass, a suburb of Smyrna (now İzmir, Turkey) to Socrates and Penelope Onassis (nee Dologu). Onassis had one full-sister, Artemis, and two half-sisters, Kalliroi and Merope, by his father's second marriage following Penelope's death. Socrates Onassis came from the village of Moutalasski (now named Talas), near Cappadocia in Asia Minor, which is the present-day Kayseri province, in central Turkey.[citation needed] A successful shipping entrepreneur, he was able to send his children to prestigious schools. At the age of 16, Aristotle Onassis spoke three foreign languages: English, Spanish and Turkish,[3] when he graduated from the local Evangelical Greek School .[4] After being briefly administered by Greece (1919–1922) in the aftermath of the allied victory in World War I, Smyrna was re-taken by Turkey and the Onassis family's substantial property holdings were lost, causing them to become refugees fleeing to Greece after the Great Fire of Smyrna.[5] During this period Aristotle Onassis lost three uncles, an aunt and her husband Chrysostomos Konialidis and their daughter, who were burned to death on fire in a church in Thyatira where 500 Christians were seeking shelter from the Great Fire of Smyrna. In 1923, Aristotle Onassis left for Buenos Aires, Argentina by Nansen passport, reportedly carrying just $60 in his pocket, and got his first job with the British United River Plate Telephone Company.[citation needed] Business Argentina Onassis imported tobacco from Turkey with help from his father.
