    American School of Classical Studies at Athens Newsletter Index 1977-2012 The index is geared toward subjects, sites, and major figures in the history of the School, and only the major subject of an article. Not every individual has a cross-entry: look for subject and site, first—entries that will tend to be more complete. Note: The symbol (F) next to an entry signifies the presence of a photograph of the subject. S = Spring [occasionally, Summer] Issue; F = Fall Issue; and W= Winter Issue, followed by the year and page number. Parentheses within subentries surround subsubentries, which would otherwise be indented and consume more space; this level of entry is separated by commas rather than semi-colons. When in doubt in a jungle of parentheses, refer to the right of the last semi-colon for the relevant subhead. Where this method becomes less effective, e.g., at “mega”-entries like the Gennadeion, typesetting devices like boldface and indentation have been added.

  • To: Dr. Ursula Von Der Leyen President of the European Commission Cc: Ms. Věra Jourová Vice-President for Values A
    To: Dr. Ursula von der Leyen President of the European Commission cc: Ms. Věra Jourová Vice-President for Values and Transparency Athens, 16 April 2021 Subject: Ensuring journalists’ safety and physical integrity in the EU Dear President von der Leyen, Dear Vice-President Jourová, We are writing to you in relation to the brutal killing of the Greek journalist George Karaivaz. It is regrettably another despicable act, which follows the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia in Malta in 2017 and of Ján Kuciak in Slovakia in 2018. Physical threats and violence against journalists have been, unfortunately, on the rise. These crimes can lead to media’s self-censorship and therefore, have a grave chilling effect on freedom of expression, as enshrined in Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Press has a vital role to play in the functioning of a democratic society. Journalists’ public watchdog role is crucial for a democratic society, based on the rule of law. Moreover, it has an instrumental role in ensuring an open and vigorous public debate, thereby reinforcing the public’s trust in our democratic processes. In this regard, we need to do away with the sense of impunity for crimes against journalists. Therefore, we call upon you to use all means at your disposal towards guaranteeing the safety and physical integrity of journalists in the EU. This includes a swift adoption of a Recommendation on the safety of journalists, as outlined in the 2020 European Democracy Action Plan. The Recommendation should have a significant focus on threats against women journalists, who are also increasingly subject to online and offline threats.

[email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu 2017/01 Greek politics in 2019 Following 4,5 years of SYRIZA (and Independent Greeks) administration, Greece saw a governmental change in 2019. The conservative New Democracy won the national election of 5 July and Kyriakos Mitsotakis became the new prime minister. While the first semester of the year was full with political tensions in view of the national election, the second was relatively calm. The government of New Democracy enjoyed a grace period and was not encountered with significant political challenges. The law allowing Greeks living abroad to vote was one of its successes and received broad political support. 2019 was an election year for Greece. All opinion polls were suggesting that the governing SYRIZA party would lose the national election to the main opposition New Democracy party. This happened in July indeed. The way until the national election was full with political tensions. The year started with the coalition government of SYRIZA-Independent Greek charting separate courses after 4,5 years of close cooperation. The main reason for the divorce was the opposition of the leader of Independent Greeks and Defense Minister Panos Kammenos to the Prespes Agreement signed between Greece and North Macedonia. When this Agreement came to the Greek Parliament for approval, Kammenos withdrew his support to the Greek government.

  • Greekness, Identity and New Greek Cuisine
    2nd Symposium of Greek Gastronomy: Food, Memory & Identity in Greece & the Greek Diaspora Greekness, Identity and New Greek Cuisine Albert Arouh (Epikouros) Professor emeritus DEREE college / Food critic Αbstract: Greekness defines the essence of our national identity and it is usually anchored in certain constants in our history, traditions and language, and especially in Greek nature. Likewise in Greek food, Greekness is defined in the materials we use that derive from the uniqueness of Greek nature, in the regional demotic traditions, and in the continuum of our history. In this presentation, I will try to shy away from such essentialist definitions of identity and approach the subject with a relativist spirit that anchors the Greekness of food in collective fantasies and invented memories that create a dynamic allowing the adoption of foreign influences and changes without loosing the sense of identity. I will also claim that the renewal and revitalization of our gastronomic identity stems from those restaurants in Greece that serve New Greek Cuisine, which is part of an international movement linking creative, modernist cuisine to national and regional traditions. __________________________________________________________________________________ I would like to pose a seemingly weird question that has preoccupied me since I recently wrote (under my pen name) a book about Greek food and identity, oddly entitled New Greek Cuisine: About the Greekness of Moussaka, our Gastronomic Identity and its Renewal (Επίθοσρος, 2012). The question I want to pose, I know will send shivers down the spines of some in the audience, but here goes anyway: Is sushi Greek? Before you start throwing Greek style yogurt at me (which of course is Greek - or is it?), let me show you first a video based on a commercial, showing a typically Greek grandmother who, instead of baking the perennial cheese pie, is rolling sushi for her grandchildren.

  • GREEK FOOD SOLIDARITIES (ALLILEGGIÍ) Communalism Vis-À-Vis Food in Crisis Greece
    “NEW” GREEK FOOD SOLIDARITIES (ALLILEGGIÍ) Communalism vis-à-vis Food in Crisis Greece James Verinis, Roger Williams University, Bristol (USA) In this paper I extend the anthropological analyses of “new” solidarity (allileggií) networks or movements in Greece to rural regions and agricultural life as well as new groups of people. Food networks such as the “potato movement”, which facilitates the direct sales of agricultural produce, reveals rural aspects of networks that are thought to be simply urban phenomena. “Social kitch- ens” are revealed to be humanistic as well as nationalistic, bringing refugees, economic migrants, and Greeks together in arguably unprecedented ways. Through a review of such food solidarity movements – their rural or urban boundaries as well as their egalitarian or multicultural tenets – I consider whether they are thus more than mere extensions of earlier patterns of social solidarity identified in the anthropological record. Keywords: solidarity, rural–urban dichotomy, ethno-national identity, globalization, food “New” Greek Solidarity Movements well as the seemingly paradoxical evidence I had col- When I first began to reflect on the work I had con- lected during my dissertation fieldwork – that many ducted for my Ph.D. dissertation between 2008 and bonds between Greeks and non-Greeks in rural ar- 20101 in the southern Peloponnesian prefecture of eas had strengthened since the early 1990s.3 What is Laconia (which was primarily about Greek/non- more, to say that economic migrants are not simply Greek farmer relationships [Verinis 2015]), I sought exploited by neoliberalism is generally anathema to to account for some statistical evidence that many anthropology, despite its interest in data niches vis- non-Greeks had left Greece since the onset of the fi- à-vis qualitative approaches such as my focus on a nancial crisis.2 Mainstream media has focused heav- certain relatively small group of economic immi- ily on the rise of support for the Greek far right, par- grants.

  • Initiative Is Addressed to Young People Aged 15-18 of Greek Origin and Philhellenes of the S
    The "Return to the Roots" Initiative is addressed to young people aged 15-18 of Greek origin and philhellenes of the same age group who want to experience the Principles of Hellenism, to use them as a cultural and moral background for their whole life and to transmit them to their family and social environment. The content of the educational process includes all those activities and experiences that will enhance the impact on their thinking, character and physical education. Objectives are not only to acquire knowledge but at the same time to form values such as Ethics, Honesty, Integrity, Sense of Justice, Dedication, Responsibility, Merit and Compassion and to develop these skills and abilities so they experience a full and happy life. Our vision is for the young people of Greek origin and the Philhellenes, as an integral part of Hellenism, to come close to their "Roots" throughout their adult life and to follow them according to their own choice. To proceed, on researching for themselves more aspects of the Greek Tradition and Hellenism than their original love for Greece and its Culture. Finally, those of Greek origin could search for their family "Roots" in the Homeland of their ancestors. The total duration of the Program is 3 weeks and includes: - The reception and hospitality services in hospitality facilities that are certified according to the CONVID-19 FREE process of TUV Austria www.tuv.at and guarantee a safe environment for participants. - Education in thematic sections concerning the Greek Language (Ancient - New), Greek Culture, Greek History, Olympic Education, the Environment, Greek Cuisine and Greek Customs and Etiquette.
