  • Surplus Citizens Struggles in the Greek Crisis, 2010–2014
    Surplus Citizens Struggles in the Greek Crisis, 2010–2014 Dimitra Kotouza A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 109,645 words University of Kent September 2015 Abstract This thesis analyses the social struggles that occurred between 2010 and 2014 during the crisis in Greece: labour struggles, the movement of the squares, demonstrations and riots, neighbourhood assemblies, solidarity projects and economies, local environmental struggles, and anti-fascist and migrants’ struggles. It discusses their internal and external limits in the historical specificity of the contemporary crisis and class relation. Drawing critically on Théorie Communiste’s periodising schema, these struggles are framed, first, through a shift in the dynamic of the class relation effected by the crisis and the re- structuring, which is a continuation of the first phase of ‘neoliberal’ restructuring in the 1990s. This shift intensified a central capitalist contradiction: while the capital relation imposes most violently the absolute dependence of subsistence on the wage, the wage relation fails to guarantee subsist- ence and integrates proletarians as surplus to capitalist reproduction. Second, the struggles are framed through the deep political crisis of state sovereignty and the relation between state and civil society, caused by the relentless imposition of the restructuring in conjunction with supranational institutions. These historical transformations are traced through the mutual constitution of interna- tional tendencies and the development of class struggle in Greece, against theories of dependency and underdevelopment. Ideological responses to the financial crisis and the logic of the restructur- ing are interrogated by employing theories of value, fetishism, and the state influenced by the Ger- man ‘value-form’ debate.

  • Elliniko Theatro Promotes Greek Culture Worldwide by Expanding the Temporal, Spatial and Social Boundaries of Hellenic Theatre
    Elliniko Theatro promotes Greek culture worldwide by expanding the temporal, spatial and social boundaries of Hellenic Theatre. Elliniko Theatro embraces the Greek Theatre of New York, based in the United States, and Greek Theatre International, based in Greece. The Greek Theatre of New York (GTNY) was founded by actor, writer, producer Yannis Simonides and his colleagues in 1979, and ever since it has served Greek and English speaking audiences with acclaimed productions in the USA and internationally. The company has sought to approach the classical, medieval and contemporary Hellenic repertory with discipline, delight and occasional irreverence. GTNY has collaborated with distinguished artists, such as Olympia Dukakis, Nicholas Kepros, Yannis Houvardas, Loukas Skipitaris, Theoni Vachliotis Aldredge, Alexander Mylonas, Dionysis Fotopoulos, Mikis Theodorakis, Robert U. Taylor, Anna Makraki, Dionyssis Fotopoulos, George Tsontakis, Kostas Mourselas, Iakovos Kambanellis, Manolis Korres, Yannis Glezos, Caryn Heilman, Dan Georgakas, Vangelis Fampas and others, and has always been mindful of nurturing young talent in all fields of the performing arts. Over the years it has become known for its festivals of new plays, its solo and ensemble performances, its children theatre tours and its imaginative staging of Greek oratorios. Productions over the years have included Aeschylus’ Agamemnon, Sophocles’ Electra, Euripides’ Iphigenia in Tauris, Aristophanes’ Lysistrata, Thesmophoriazousai and The Birds, Kazantzakis’ Greek Passion, Theodorakis’ Song of the Dead Brother, Kambanellis’ Nameless Fairytale, Kornaros’ Erotokritos, Gregorios’ Christos Paschon, Simonides’ Epitheorisi, Alexandriad, Cavafy and Smyrne, Korres’ Happy Sunset, Skourtis’ The Nannies and Karaghiozis in America, Makriyannis’ Memoirs, and Plato’s Apology of Socrates. Ellen Stewart of La MaMa ETC praised GTNY as one of her “brightest children”, and Melina Mercouri championed it as “the longest living and most accomplished theatre of the Greek Diaspora”.

    Smyrna: Large-format panorama of the seafront. Late 19th-century postcard. (Antonis Mailis Archive) vein of irony here – one of the main features of Politis’ writing – and much sarcasm, as well as incessant discussion, mainly in Hecate, of philosophical and other matters. Politis was born in Athens but grew up and came of age in the cosmopolitan environment of the city of Smyrna, where he came into contact with Western European culture and lit- erature. However, memories of the lost city, after its defeat and the Asia Minor Disaster of 1922, did not begin to surface in him until his third novel, Ero˚ca, which appeared in 1937 and was the novel that made his reputation. This novel, which critics considered to be superior to Grand Meaulnes, the nov- el it was modelled on, appears to take place in Patras, where Politis was transferred and worked between 1934 and 1942, Refugees from Asia Minor boarding boats, 1922. (E.L.I.A. Photographic Archive) but the story begins with childhood memories of Smyrna. Its heroes are children imitating adults, pretending to be firemen, wearing helmets like those worn in ancient times and trying to put out fires they themselves have started. This innocent childhood ‘heroism’ is very skilfully interwoven with a preco- cious introduction to death and with the first erotic awaken- ings of adolescence. Time is continually changing and the ac- tion seems to be shifted away from the feats of imaginative he- roes to the valour of the heroes of The Iliad. So when Andre- as, the protagonist, dies, his beloved friend Loizos organizes athletic games, partly as a way to re-activate the group and partly as a parody of the burial games for Patrocles in The Il- iad.
