This question, asked in various parts of the world outside Greece, concerns both the present and future. In fact, the very context prompted us to devote the current issue of Études helléniques/Hellenic Studies to the topic. We had hoped for greater participation in this debate, but it proved difficult for various reasons not worth mentioning here.In the end however, we have compiled a series of articles that provide a gobal view of the situation and obviously a full portrait. Defining the area is already difficult, as perusal of the many different point of views expressed and websites indicates.Chairs of modern Greek are listed along with seemingly full programs or basic courses next to political, historical and Byzantine studies, not to mention classics departments.There is even a site from the University of Athens (Department of History) presented within the framework of a project1 in which we find modern Greek studies plus the teaching of anything related to Greece, from the Golden Age to today! Another example, provided by Thomas W. Gallant, lists 40 modern Greek studies programs in Canada; whereas there are only four2. Even the official statistics from the Greek Ministry of Education refer to nine chairs of modern Greek studies in Canada. In reality, there are three at the following universities: McGill (Montreal), York (Toronto) and Simon Fraser (Vancouver). Furthermore, the latter two chairs are held by historians with the predictable consequences on the teaching of Greek language and literature. The other programs in Canada include classics and, in some instances, modern Greek. Another instance of this phenomenon: there are supposedly 344 chairs of modern Greek studies around the world including 179

    American School of Classical Studies at Athens Newsletter Index 1977-2012 the Index Is Geared Toward Subjects, Sites, and Major

    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.

  • Balkan Wars Between the Lines: Violence and Civilians in Macedonia, 1912-1918

    Balkan Wars Between the Lines: Violence and Civilians in Macedonia, 1912-1918

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: BALKAN WARS BETWEEN THE LINES: VIOLENCE AND CIVILIANS IN MACEDONIA, 1912-1918 Stefan Sotiris Papaioannou, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe, Department of History This dissertation challenges the widely held view that there is something morbidly distinctive about violence in the Balkans. It subjects this notion to scrutiny by examining how inhabitants of the embattled region of Macedonia endured a particularly violent set of events: the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War. Making use of a variety of sources including archives located in the three countries that today share the region of Macedonia, the study reveals that members of this majority-Orthodox Christian civilian population were not inclined to perpetrate wartime violence against one another. Though they often identified with rival national camps, inhabitants of Macedonia were typically willing neither to kill their neighbors nor to die over those differences. They preferred to pursue priorities they considered more important, including economic advancement, education, and security of their properties, all of which were likely to be undermined by internecine violence. National armies from Balkan countries then adjacent to geographic Macedonia (Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia) and their associated paramilitary forces were instead the perpetrators of violence against civilians. In these violent activities they were joined by armies from Western and Central Europe during the First World War. Contrary to existing military and diplomatic histories that emphasize continuities between the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War, this primarily social history reveals that the nature of abuses committed against civilians changed rapidly during this six-year period.

He is known for writing novels, novellas, and short stories under the pseudonym Stratis Myrivilis . [lower-alpha 2] He is associated with the "Generation of the '30s". [1] He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times (1960, 1962, 1963). [2] Contents. Biography [ edit | edit source ] Myrivilis was born in the village of Sykaminea (Συκαμινέα), also known as Sykamia (Συκαμιά), on the north coast of the island of Lesbos (then part of the Ottoman Empire), in 1890. [3] There he spent his childhood years until, in 1905, he was sent to the town of Mytilene to study at the Gymnasium. In 1910 he completed his secondary education and took a post as a village schoolmaster, but gave that up after one year and enrolled at Athens University to study law. However, his university education was cut short when he volunteered to fight in the First Balkan War in 1912. After the Balkan Wars, he returned home to a Lesbos free from Turkish rule and united with the motherland Greece. There he made a name for himself as a columnist and as a writer of poetry and fiction. He published his first book in 1915: a set of six short stories collected together under the general title of Red Stories . In World War I, Myrivilis saw active service in the army of Eleftherios Venizelos' breakaway government on the Macedonian front and also in the Asia Minor Campaign which followed.

  • The Crisis Years (1922-1927)

    The Crisis Years (1922-1927)

    CHAPTER THREE: The Crisis Years (1922-1927) 'I will write a sad ballad to the uncelebrated poets. There are those who take their place in history, and there are those who make history. It is the latter I honour.' (Terzakis 1987: 76) I Bakhtin's dialogic approach can provide a valuable perspective on the biographical narrative, highlighting the multiplicity of situated sites within it, the corporeal nature of subjectivity and memory, and the writer-biographer's location in the writing process. In this chapter I have approached the narrative by constructing a broad historical and literary framework of the period and by exploring Alekos Doukas' letters and manuscript's in relation to the contexts of his locations. I have used Bakhtin's concept of the 'chronotope' in both its literary and extra- literary sense to historically position the texts under scrutiny. Genre is given attention as a 'master category of dialogism' which allows us to read the texts in relation to the changing genres of the period (Holquist 1990: 144). This offers biographical discourse a generic analysis of texts through a diachronic perspective and interplay of textual and non-textual mediations. The biographical self is not sculptured in a vacuum but in direct relation to others, much as a hologram appears in three-dimensional space through its placement within a surrounding field. Far from being a simple interaction of two fixed entities, the self/other relationship is dynamic and contested, giving rise to distinctive identities which are never entirely stable or static (Holquist 1990: 135)*. This relationship is another aspect of intertextuality, and a literary biography is nothing if not an exploration of this endless web of intertextual dialogue.

    Greek Historiography and Slav-Macedonian National Identity

    GREEK HISTORIOGRAPHY AND SLAV-MACEDONIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY In his celebrated novel Η ζωή εν τάφω [Life in a tomb] (1954 edition), Greek author Stratis Myrivilis has the protagonist briefly stay in a village in the region of Macedonia during World War I. The peasants: …spoke a language understood both by Serbs and Bulgarians. The first they hate because they torment them and treat them as if they were Bulgarians; and they [also] hate the Bulgarians because they took their children to the war. Us [Greeks] they accept with some sympathetic curiosity, only because we are the genuine moral subjects of the…Ecumenical Patriarch.1 It is fair to assume that this encounter was with people that today most Greeks would have identified as Slav-Macedonians. The existence, formation and mutations of their national identity have posed an interpretative challenge to Greek scholars and proved a consistently controversial topic. Since the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) declared independence in September 1991, the name dispute has added a further layer of often emotional complexity to bilateral arguments and understandings of identity.2 Over the past century, a mainstream narrative has emerged in Greek historiography concerning when and how Slav-Macedonian national 1 Stratis Myrivilis, Η ζωή εν τάφω [Life in a tomb], Athens: Estia, n.d., p. 227; my translation. This passage is taken from the seventh and final 1954 edition. In the novel’s first edition, published in 1924, the above-cited passage is to be found in a version that is similar in essence but perhaps somewhat rougher in language.

It focuses on the early period, particularly the works of Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu and Halide Edip Adıvar in Turkey and Elias Venezis in Greece. It seeks to show the way themes were selected and then used or adapted to reflect more contemporary concerns.
