First of all, it is an ethnography of the remaining small Sephardic Jewish community in the city of Thessaloniki in northern Greece. Although Dr. Kravva is herself a native of this city, she notes that until she began to look for a research topic for her Ph.D., she knew almost nothing of the existence of this community and its long history. This brings me to the second area which is covered in this book – the turbulent history of the city of Thessaloniki during the twentieth century. The author shows how the ethnic composition of the cosmopolitan city changed dramatically, firstly with the coming of the Greek-speaking refugees from Asia Minor, which rendered the large Jewish population a minority, and secondly with the Second World War and the deportation of the city‟s Jews, only a few of whom were to return. Thessaloniki became a Greek-speaking city, with its inhabitants mainly practitioners of Greek orthodox Christianity. The Jewish population abandoned its original language of Ladino, which they had brought with them from Spain, and adopted Greek as their language. History is not, however, just about „what happened‟ but also about how people continuously interpret it and try to make sense of it. Kravva demonstrates that while the official version of history, which she herself learned in school, makes little reference to the Jewish contribution to the city or to what happened during the second world war, members of that community who returned to live in the city did retain such memories, and an important way in which they continue to do so is through food practices. While the Jews of Thessaloniki continue to think of themselves as such, they also consider themselves to be fully Greek and citizens of the Greek state. The generation below middle age is ambivalent about its Jewishness, not wishing to appear too different, while the Greek orthodox majority sometimes questions the „Greekness‟ of the Jews. Yet paradoxically, Jews outside Greece question the way in which those in Thessaloniki practice Judaism, particularly criticising them for their lack of a kosher diet. In fact ethnic and religious identity is complex and shifting, and a sense of being Jewish manifests to a greater or lesser extent in particular contexts, being particularly marked in terms of religious rituals. Food – its preparation, cooking, and eating - is the focus of this book, and is the way in which identity is remembered and enacted. The author shows the central importance of food not only in the construction of the Jewish family but also in that of the community, particularly through three main institutions: the Jewish primary school, the old people‟s home, and the synagogues. Food is about taste, smell and the evocation of memory, it is about nostalgia and belonging and Jews in Thessaloniki, like the rest of humanity, are indeed what they eat. Yet ideas about food and identity are far from static. Even as Kravva shows that there are debates within the community about whether or not Jews in Thessaloniki should adopt kosher practices, she also reports the discussions in the wider society about the place of ethnic minorities in Greece and how their history should be represented. Such debates are by no means resolved, and the issue of the relationship between religious and ethnic identity, on the one hand, and citizenship of the Greek nation-state on the other, remains highly contested. In short, then, Kravva‟s work reveals the way in which the study of food can lead in so many different directions. It covers gender relations, households and families, it involves the construction of communities through rituals and the commensality practiced in their institutions. Yet its study also encompasses the politics of the nation-state, its politics and ideologies, and even moves beyond to the global arena, in which members of the Jewish diaspora may consider themselves linked to one another. The author clearly conducted her fieldwork with sensitivity and has been able to translate her data into an empathetic account of the people with whom she worked. In the process she has made a significant contribution to the anthropological study of food and identity.

Preface to the book by Margaret Kenna It has been said that the most important cooking implements are the nose and the tongue, followed by the eye – does it smell right? does it taste as it ought to? does it look as it should? The tastes, smells, colours and textures of food are intimately bound up with personal and embodied experience, with both cook and eater recognising through their senses what their bodies learnt in the past about that particular substance as an ingredient of a dish, and about that dish as part of a meal. Whether this is a personal or a family past, food triggers memories of a particularly fundamental kind, which are aspects of a multi- faceted identity: as an individual, a family member, the inhabitant of a village or town, resident of a region, and citizen of a particular country. No wonder that the saying “you are what you eat”, and the aphorism of Brillat-Savarin, “Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are”, ring so true: food, memory and identity are inextricably intertwined.

We chose the Acropolis Museum, as a new, emerging cultural organization in the European periphery which engages in public actions, in the form of symbolic initiatives, in order to set a specific cultural agenda for Greek and international media. We scrutinize seven symbolic initiatives publicized by the museum, as attributes that influence media content. We conclude that development of cultural/educational services, advertising and marketing, visitor/customer relations, partnerships, symbolic actions, special events, and supporting services constitute significant cultural attributes, which strategically become a part of the media agenda, thereby contributing toward the building of a museum agenda.

  • Armed Forces Intervention in Post-War Turkey: a Methodological Approach of Greek Newspapers Through Political Analyses
    PHOKION KOTZAGEORGIS ARMED FORCES INTERVENTION IN POST-WAR TURKEY: A METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH OF GREEK NEWSPAPERS THROUGH POLITICAL ANALYSES The Press as a political-social phenomenon may influence the forma­ tion of one’s conscience, make or break governments and influence public opinion in a decisive way. As an institution it may play an extremely important role in the writing of a countiy’s contemporary history. It is only recently that this last function of the Press has become the object of scientific research, resulting in the first attempts to write history using newspapers as the basic source. The present article aspires to contribute to the process of ‘deciphering’ the role played by the Press in the formulation or crystallisation of behaviours, political or other, vis-a-vis given facts or phenomena. The article aims at signposting the methodological principles in the presentation by the Greek newspapers of an external affairs event and its use by the political affairs editors of these newspapers. This article was con­ ceived in the course of study of the political game in Turkey as the prominence of the role of the army in that country became evident to the author. The actual cases of army intervention will not be dealt with here; what is of in­ terest is the reaction of the newspapers to the three military interventions in the political life of Turkey. In date order these took place on 27 May 1960, 12 March 1971 and 12 September 1980. The sources chosen are newspapers easily accessible to the public, of differing political persuasions; the time terminus of study is one month be­ fore and one after the date of intervention of the military.

  • A Report on Preventing Any Further Desecration of the Jewish Cemetery of Thessaloniki, Greece Findings, Concerns and Recommendations
    A Report on Preventing any Further Desecration of the Jewish Cemetery of Thessaloniki, Greece Findings, Concerns and Recommendations Prepared for Asra Kadisha, Conference of Academicians for the Protection of Jewish Cemeteries and the Central Rabbinical Congress July 2008 By David Rubel Jewish Cemetery of Thessaloniki, Greece Findings, Concerns and Recommendations 2 BACKGROUND 1. The old Jewish cemetery of Thessaloniki is being desecrated by construction under the authority of the City of Thessaloniki and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The cemetery was once the largest Jewish cemetery in the world and is located in a city that was home to one of longest continuous Jewish communities only to be destroyed during the Nazi occupation in World War II. The Asra Kadisha (Committee for the Preservation of Gravesites), the leadership of the Jewish community of Greece, as well as other Jewish organizations dedicated to the preservation of cemeteries abroad, have all strongly protested the desecration of the Jewish cemetery as violation of their religious beliefs. All of these organizations have stated that construction is taking place inside the boundaries of the Jewish cemetery..All construction work of a new Metro station and a campus building should be halted immediately. CURRENT DESECRETION 2. Until an authoritative and unbiased map is finally produced of the Jewish cemetery of Thessaloniki, all construction in contested areas should stop immediately. An area of land with such great religious and historical significance deserves a full and exhaustive research undertaking. A professional land survey and thorough historical investigation are essential. Just from the research that we have conducted on the cemetery, it is abundantly clear that there is compelling evidence that significantly differs from the United States Consulate General Office in Thessaloniki (which is based on mapping from the Survey Office of Thessaloniki in 1936 and cannot be judged an objective party).

  • Elements of Framing, Stereotyping and Ethnic Categorisation in the Greek Media Discourse During the 1976 Greek-Turkish Crisis
    SECTION: JOURNALISM LDMD I ELEMENTS OF FRAMING, STEREOTYPING AND ETHNIC CATEGORISATION IN THE GREEK MEDIA DISCOURSE DURING THE 1976 GREEK-TURKISH CRISIS Oana-Camelia STROESCU, Researcher, PhD, “Romanian Diplomatic Institute” Abstract: The present paper details the elements contributing to the development of ethnic categorisation in the Greek daily political newspapers during the Greek-Turkish crisis of the summer of 1976. After the Cyprus operations of 1974, Greece and Turkey have lived short periods of détente and expressions of mutual sympathy, followed by tension and diplomatic and/or military posturing. The two NATO allies came often on a brink of an armed conflict due to a variety of issues linked to different interpretation of international law regarding national sovereignty in certain areas of the Aegean Sea. These states should act as lighthouses of stability in the volatile region of Eastern Mediterranean and exclude any possibility of renewed hostilities in the future, including the armed confrontation. The study analyses the position of the Greek national political dailies on the Aegean energy crisis and shows the Greek media behaviour towards the Turkish people during the 1976 crisis. What kind of nationalism is reconstructed in the Greek press discourse? Is it a kind of patriotism or do news discourse reproduce sentiments of national superiority by using framing, ethnic categorisation, stereotypes and negative images? Do they contribute to the peace process between the two countries or do they exaggerate the conflict? Our purpose is to argue that the Greek daily political press produces and promotes ethnic categorisation through textual messages for the duration of the crisis.

  • Inscribed Silver Plate from Tomb Ii at Vergina 337
    hesperia yy (2008) INSCRIBED SILVER PLATE p*ges 335~358 FROM TOMB II AT VERGINA Chronological Implications ABSTRACT Five items of silver plate from tomb II at Vergina are inscribed with their ancient weights. The inscriptions, using the acrophonic and alphabetic systems, suggest that the pieces were made to a drachmaweight of ca. 4.2 g. This weight of drachmawas introducedto Macedoniaby Alexanderthe Great and does not appearto have been used by Philip II. The inscriptions on the silver add to the cumulative evidence provided by the cremated remains, black-gloss saltcellars,and iconographyof the lion-hunt frieze that tomb II was the final resting place not of Philip II, but of Philip III Arrhidaios and Adea Eurydike. The excavationsby Manolis Andronikosat Vergina,the likely site of Aigai, have providedsubstantial evidence for the burialsof membersof the Macedonianroyal family.1The wealth that has emergedfrom the excavationof tomb II, the so-calledTomb of Philip II that lay beneath the GreatTumulus at Vergina,has been awe-inspiring.The gold larnax, ivory-decoratedcouch, gold-decorated purple cloth, and silverplate point - - to the burialof an individualof high and surelyroyal statusin Mace- doniansociety.

  • Queen Arsinoë II, the Maritime Aphrodite and Early Ptolemaic Ruler Cult
    ΑΡΣΙΝΟΗ ΕΥΠΛΟΙΑ Queen Arsinoë II, the Maritime Aphrodite and Early Ptolemaic Ruler Cult Carlos Francis Robinson Bachelor of Arts (Hons. 1) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2019 Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Queen Arsinoë II, the Maritime Aphrodite and Early Ptolemaic Ruler Cult By the early Hellenistic period a trend was emerging in which royal women were deified as Aphrodite. In a unique innovation, Queen Arsinoë II of Egypt (c. 316 – 270 BC) was deified as the maritime Aphrodite, and was associated with the cult titles Euploia, Akraia, and Galenaië. It was the important study of Robert (1966) which identified that the poets Posidippus and Callimachus were honouring Arsinoë II as the maritime Aphrodite. This thesis examines how this new third-century BC cult of ‘Arsinoë Aphrodite’ adopted aspects of Greek cults of the maritime Aphrodite, creating a new derivative cult. The main historical sources for this cult are the epigrams of Posidippus and Callimachus, including a relatively new epigram (Posidippus AB 39) published in 2001. This thesis demonstrates that the new cult of Arsinoë Aphrodite utilised existing traditions, such as: Aphrodite’s role as patron of fleets, the practice of dedications to Aphrodite by admirals, the use of invocations before sailing, and the practice of marine dedications such as shells. In this way the Ptolemies incorporated existing religious traditions into a new form of ruler cult. This study is the first attempt to trace the direct relationship between Ptolemaic ruler cult and existing traditions of the maritime Aphrodite, and deepens our understanding of the strategies of ruler cult adopted in the early Hellenistic period.
