About Kyklos Kyklos (Meaning “Circle”) Was the Name of the First Staff Magazine of the Bank of Greece

Ο ΚÌKLOS: Kikì Dimoulà (in Greek) Author: Kiki Dimoula Introduction: Nikos Petsalis-Diomidis Publisher: Bank of Greece (Centre for Culture, Research and Documentati on ) Year of publication: 2013 Number of pages: 56 Dimensions: 29 x 21 cm Book type: Reprint Non-commercial publication. About Kyklos Kyklos (meaning “circle”) was the name of the first staff magazine of the Bank of Greece. Its publication began in 1961 and ended in 1969, soon after the arrival of the Greek junta. Kyklos featured economic articles and articles of general interest, but also short stories, poems etc. by important people of the Greek letters, such as Elias Venezis, Thanassis Petsalis-Diomidis, Nassos Detzortzis etc., who also served as employees of the Bank of Greece. The Centre for Culture, Research and Documentation inaugurated a series of events in the memory of those people and published accompanying commemorative issues of Kyklos with reprints of their original collaborations. In this way, the totality of their work in Kyklos was compiled in a single issue. About the issue Kiki Dimoula (1931-2020) was a renowned Greek poet of the so-called Generation of the Thirties and a member of the Academy of Athens. She contributed widely to Kyklos 21El.

Modem Greek Poetry on the Edge (of the century, of history, of language) Editors: Michalis Chrysanthopoulos Ekaterini Douka-Kabitoglou Lizy Tsirimokou Editorial assistant: Maria Schina Volume 8 2000 ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI Greek Poetry Elsewhere 1 Karen Van Dyck oth in Greece and abroad, Greek poetry is often treated like a fetish.2 Whether it is a Greek politician touting the merits of Kiki Dimoula's most Brecent collection, critics repeatedly referring to the Noble Laureate poets, George Seferis and Odysseus Elytis, or the friends of Jackie Onassis wanting C. P. Cavafy's poem "Ithaca" read at her funeral, Greek poetry has cachet. Like Freud's furs or Benjamin's velvet pouches or Almodovar's high-heeled shoes, Greek poetry as fetish compensates for everything that Greece does not have. Like coats, pouches and shoes, Greek poetry as fetish calls attention to what it covers over, encases or holds up. It speaks of lack in a language that soothes us with its masterful substitutions. Like flags andfoustanellas, and other more pa triotic fetishes, Greek poetry inscribes notions of national, linguistic and generic pririty. It is the measure of what is most Greek.3 As fetish Greek poetry is a great achievement. Its invocation of homeland, mother tongue, and lyric tradition has given us myriad ways of imagining oursel ves and the Greek nation. But like all fetishes it is selective in its replacement of the part for the Whole-the clothes for the body, the flag for the country. Greek poetry as fetish refers exclusively to poetry written in Greek in Greece.
