Pappas Interdisciplinary March 2021 VOLUME 1 ISSUE NO. 3 Center for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies From the Director Dear Friends, On March 25, 1821, in the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnesos, the chieftains from the region of Mani convened the Messinian Senate of Kalamata to issue a revolutionary proclamation for “Liberty.” The commander Petrobey Mavromichalis then wrote the following appeal to the Americans: “Citizens of the United States of America!…Having formed the resolution to live or die for freedom, we are drawn toward you by a just sympathy; since it is in your land that Liberty has fixed her abode, and by you that she is prized as by our fathers.” He added, “It is for you, citizens of America, to crown this glory, in aiding us to purge Greece from the barbarians, who for four hundred years have polluted the soil.” The Greek revolutionaries understood themselves as part of a universal struggle for freedom. It is this universal struggle for freedom that the Pappas Center for Hellenic Studies and Stockton University raises up and celebrates on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Greek Revolution in 1821.

  • Theophilus C. Prousis
    THEOPHILUS C. PROUSIS THE GREEKS OF RUSSIA AND THE GREEK AWAKENING, 1774-1821 The Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire became a cause célèbre in European public opinion and was the most significant diplomatic issue confronting the Great Powers in the Near East during the 1820s. The emergence of an independent Greek state in 1830 represented the first change in the map of Europe after the Congress of Vienna (1815). As such, the Greek Revolution constituted the first major breach in the Met- ternichean system, which had been established to preserve the political status quo and to protect legitimate rulers from liberal and nationalistic unrest. Although the Greek War of Independence came as an unwelcome sur­ prise to Metternich and to other heads of state in Europe, it did not occur in a vacuum or without preparation. Indeed, the Greek Revolution represen­ ted the culmination of a Greek national movement which had developed in the 18th century. Like subsequent Balkan national revivals, the modern Greek awakening was generated by internal and external forces. While opposition to Ottoman rule provided the main internal impetus, the Greeks required assistance and support from outside sources. The most important external impetus for the Greek awakening came from tsarist Russia. As Dimitri Obolensky has clearly shown in his work The Byzantine Commonwealth, the Russians and the Greeks, along with the other Balkan peoples, formed a cultural unity, an association of Christian peoples linked by the bonds of Orthodoxy and Byzantine civilization. The most essential bond was the Orthodox faith, which became the cement of Byzantium and the Byzantine commonwealth1.

Yunan devletindeki teritoryal genişlemenin yanı sıra Yunan bilincinde yaşanan değişim/dönüşüm, hem süreç hem de anlam itibariyle kendine özgü bir ulus inşa süreci ile ilişkilidir. İster içsel ve dışsal unsurların etkileşimi isterse de ulusal güçlerin yeni değer yaratma süreci açısından bakılsın, Yunan ulus inşa sürecinin gerek düşünsel gerekse eylemsel boyuttaki gelişimi büyük oranda dışsal değişkenlerin etkisi altında gerçekleşmiştir. Bu bağlamda, çalışmada Yunan ulusçuluğunun bir devlete dönüşmesinden önceki periyotta içsel ve dışsal boyut irdelendikten sonra, Yunan devletinin kurulmasıyla ulus inşası çerçevesinde şekillenen Yunan ulusal kimliği ve bu kimliği etkileyen parametreler içsel ve dışsal unsurlarıyla analiz edilecektir. Anahtar sözcükler: Helen, Yunanistan, Yunan Ulusal Kimliği, Megali İdea, Türk-Yunan İlişkileri Abstract Analyze of Internal and External Parameters in the Process of Greek Naional Identity Formation With her values as language, ethnic root, history, religion and culture in the axis of Greek identity, contemporary Greece has a very different political culture and social * Araş.

Besides the territorial expansion of Greek state, the change/transformation occurred in Greek consciousness is closely related with a sui generis nation building process. Whether the interaction of internal and external elements or creation of new values by national powers regarded; the progress of Greek nation building process in theoretical and practical dimensions, is heavily influenced by external factors.
