  • Albanian Families' History and Heritage Making at the Crossroads of New
    Voicing the stories of the excluded: Albanian families’ history and heritage making at the crossroads of new and old homes Eleni Vomvyla UCL Institute of Archaeology Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor in Philosophy in Cultural Heritage 2013 Declaration of originality I, Eleni Vomvyla confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature 2 To the five Albanian families for opening their homes and sharing their stories with me. 3 Abstract My research explores the dialectical relationship between identity and the conceptualisation/creation of history and heritage in migration by studying a socially excluded group in Greece, that of Albanian families. Even though the Albanian community has more than twenty years of presence in the country, its stories, often invested with otherness, remain hidden in the Greek ‘mono-cultural’ landscape. In opposition to these stigmatising discourses, my study draws on movements democratising the past and calling for engagements from below by endorsing the socially constructed nature of identity and the denationalisation of memory. A nine-month fieldwork with five Albanian families took place in their domestic and neighbourhood settings in the areas of Athens and Piraeus. Based on critical ethnography, data collection was derived from participant observation, conversational interviews and participatory techniques. From an individual and family group point of view the notion of habitus led to diverse conceptions of ethnic identity, taking transnational dimensions in families’ literal and metaphorical back- and-forth movements between Greece and Albania.

    The Philhellenic Horizon: Homeric Prolegomena to the Greek War of Independence Constanze Güthenke Based on what Armstrong and Dué, in the invitation to this conference, have termed the Wolfian paradigm of Homeric research and its intersection with the preoccupations of the Romantic period (ballads; nature; language; nation; nostalgia; modernity), this paper examines the role of Homer within the horizon of European Philhellenism (in the sense of a partisan position favorable towards Modern Greece), as much as the impetus of this Philhellenism on approaches to Homer. I will first focus on the case of Wilhelm Müller, who achieved prominence in his own time mainly for his several volumes of Griechenlieder, written in support of the Greek War of Independence. In a second part, I want to speculate about the fate of Homeric knowledge and its use in post-independence Greece, whose writers were very highly aware of the Homeric features of the Western philhellenic endeavor. The overarching research framework behind this paper is the triangle between antiquity, the modern West and modern Greece, and its resulting tensions. The representation of modern Greece by way of a nature discourse is one example; the position of Greece vis-à-vis Europe, trying to reformulate conceptually the refractions and (mis-)representations arising from mutual perception, is another. This is also a question of comparativism, which is currently strongly exercising the Humanities again. Comparative literature is discussing again the notion of “world literature” and its imbalanced axes (see, e.g., Prendergast 2004), while history and the social sciences are continuously looking for new concepts of exchange and interplay as a heuristic method.

  • A HISTORY of the PELASGIAN THEORY. FEW Peoples Of
    A HISTORY OF THE PELASGIAN THEORY. FEW peoples of the ancient world have given rise to so much controversy as the Pelasgians; and of few, after some centuries of discussion, is so little clearly established. Like the Phoenicians, the Celts, and of recent years the Teutons, they have been a peg upon which to hang all sorts of speculation ; and whenever an inconvenient circumstance has deranged the symmetry of a theory, it has been safe to ' call it Pelasgian and pass on.' One main reason for this ill-repute, into which the Pelasgian name has fallen, has been the very uncritical fashion in which the ancient statements about the Pelasgians have commonly been mishandled. It has been the custom to treat passages from Homer, from Herodotus, from Ephorus, and from Pausanias, as if they were so many interchangeable bricks to build up the speculative edifice; as if it needed no proof that genealogies found sum- marized in Pausanias or Apollodorus ' were taken by them from poems of the same class with the Theogony, or from ancient treatises, or from prevalent opinions ;' as if, further, ' if we find them mentioning the Pelasgian nation, they do at all events belong to an age when that name and people had nothing of the mystery which they bore to the eyes of the later Greeks, for instance of Strabo;' and as though (in the same passage) a statement of Stephanus of Byzantium about Pelasgians in Italy ' were evidence to the same effect, perfectly unexceptionable and as strictly historical as the case will admit of 1 No one doubts, of course, either that popular tradition may transmit, or that late writers may transcribe, statements which come from very early, and even from contemporary sources.

  • Nové Tajemství Amfipole: Toto Mauzoleum Z Doby Alexandra Velikého Skrývá Cosi Víc. Specialisté Došli K Tomuto Objevu Díky Geofyzikálnímu Průzkumu Pohřebního Komplexu
    1 NOVÉ OBJEVY NOVÉ TAJEMSTVÍ AMFIPOLE: TOTO MAUZOLEUM Z DOBY ALEXANDRA VELIKÉHO SKRÝVÁ COSI VÍC. SPECIALISTÉ DOŠLI K TOMUTO OBJEVU DÍKY GEOFYZIKÁLNÍMU PRŮZKUMU POHŘEBNÍHO KOMPLEXU. 2 Archeologové z Laboratoře aplikované geofyziky Aristotelovy univerzity v Soluni (Thessaloniki, Θεσσαλονίκη) soudí, že zřejmě zjistili přítomnost další prostory v mohyle v Kastě (Amfipolis, Řecko), jak informuje řecký portál „Protothema“. Výsledky geofyzikálního průzkumu, který prováděli, ukazují, že se tato prostora nachází na západní straně mohyly. Profesor Gregoris Tsokas, ředitel Laboratoře aplikované geofyziky, řekl: „vytvořili jsme trojrozměrnou mapu rozložení odporů a mohli jsme tak vidět, že je zde něco dalšího“. Tato prostora, kterou „je třeba prozkoumat“, se nachází asi o dva metry hlouběji a mohla by být „druhou pohřební komorou“, mnohem menší než ta, která je již vykopána, řekl Tsokas. Komplex hrobky v Amfipoli byl objeven roku 2012. O dva roky archeologové otevřeli její vstup a zahájili komplexní geofyzikální průzkum mohyly v Kastě. Od té doby se archeologové prokopali do nitra hrobky a odhalili její vstup a tři prostory, z nichž poslední byla pohřební komorou s ostatky pěti osob. Výsledky výzkumu prokázaly, že Mauzoleum bylo budováno v poslední čtvrtině 4. stol. př. Kr., tedy v posledních létech vlády Alexandra Makedonského a v bouřlivé době po jeho smrti.

Helen of Troy. Odysseus and his Odyssey. These names, still famous today, bring to mind the glories of the Bronze Age Aegean. • But what was the truth behind these legends? • The Wine Dark Sea • In Greek Epic, the sea was always described as “wine dark”, a common appellation used by many Indo European peoples and languages. • It is even speculated that the color blue was not known at this time. Not because they could not see it, but because their society just had no word for it! • The Aegean Sea is the body of water which lays to the east of Greece, west of Turkey, and north of the island of Crete.
