Phone: (718) 997-5657 E-mail: [email protected] Course Description: This course is a survey of Modern Greek Literature (in translation) from the middle of the nineteenth century to the present. We will examine the authors and their works for their individual stylistic and thematic elements within the context of European literary and cultural movements. This is a “W” course and therefore, we will also focus on the development of writing skills. We will devote some time each week to discussing writing issues and will workshop papers. Learning Objectives: In this class the students will be taught to: analyze and interpret texts through close reading, analysis, and writing; recognize literature’s ability to reflect the character of a particular society by examining literary works as products of historical conditions, cultural contexts, and personal experiences; provide a comparative approach to understanding the place of Modern Greek literature within the larger field of European literature; develop students’ skills in critical thinking, understanding and appreciation of the written language; and advance students’ writing and analytical skills on the university level. Required texts: 1. Course packet: Available at Queens Copy Center. 2. Kazantzakis, N. (1965). Report to Greco. New York: Simon and Schuster 3. Vassilikos V. (1968). Z. New York: Ballantine Books, Inc. Recommended Text: A Writing Handbook, such as The Little, Brown Compact Handbook. Library Reserve: Report to Greco and Z novels will be on reserve at main library reserve desk. Assignments: 1) Students need to attend class everyday. However, it is not your presence that is graded but rather your participation, which requires meaningful contribution to the discussions of the readings in class and cooperation with peers in group assignments and writing workshops. It is therefore mandatory that you attend all sessions, have completed all readings in advance, and arrive to each session on time. Absence from a class is not an excuse for being unprepared and/or for skipping the readings of that class. 1 2) You have to complete one short and two longer writing assignments for this class. For the longer assignments you have to produce a first draft and revise it based on your peers’ and my comments. All writing assignments need to be typed and double-spaced, with 1’’ margins. Use 12-point font size, preferably Times New Roman. Include a cover page but do not add plastic covers. Remember to include page numbers. 3) For each day’s reading you need to write a synopsis (no more than one double-spaced page). 4) You may be given 2 or 3, random, very short reading quizzes in the beginning of a given day’s session for the readings of that day. This requires that you come prepared. 5) It is an expectation that you complete the work on time. All assignments will be due in the beginning of class on the specified date. Submit a hard copy, please, do not email. Evaluation: 1) Participation: 20% 2) Short writing assignment (2-3 pages): 15% 3) Short reading quizzes and daily reading synopses: 15% 4) Paper I (5-7 pages): 20% 5) Paper II (7-9 pages): 30% Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the act of using someone else’s words, ideas or structures as your own without proper documentation. It is an extremely serious academic offense and can get you expelled from the College. If you have any questions about how to use or cite outside sources, please ask for help. Writing Center: The Queens College Writing Center offers individual tutoring in person and online. The Writing Center is located in Kiely 229, and can be reached at 718-997-5676. The Center makes appointments for the whole term at the beginning, so I recommend checking the due dates of assignments and going as soon as possible to make appointments. If you wait it will be next to impossible to get a slot.

  • Albanian Families' History and Heritage Making at the Crossroads of New
    Voicing the stories of the excluded: Albanian families’ history and heritage making at the crossroads of new and old homes Eleni Vomvyla UCL Institute of Archaeology Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor in Philosophy in Cultural Heritage 2013 Declaration of originality I, Eleni Vomvyla confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature 2 To the five Albanian families for opening their homes and sharing their stories with me. 3 Abstract My research explores the dialectical relationship between identity and the conceptualisation/creation of history and heritage in migration by studying a socially excluded group in Greece, that of Albanian families. Even though the Albanian community has more than twenty years of presence in the country, its stories, often invested with otherness, remain hidden in the Greek ‘mono-cultural’ landscape. In opposition to these stigmatising discourses, my study draws on movements democratising the past and calling for engagements from below by endorsing the socially constructed nature of identity and the denationalisation of memory. A nine-month fieldwork with five Albanian families took place in their domestic and neighbourhood settings in the areas of Athens and Piraeus. Based on critical ethnography, data collection was derived from participant observation, conversational interviews and participatory techniques. From an individual and family group point of view the notion of habitus led to diverse conceptions of ethnic identity, taking transnational dimensions in families’ literal and metaphorical back- and-forth movements between Greece and Albania.

  • Modern Greek Studies in the 21St Century
    Modern Greek Studies in the 21st Century Panel 1. Elsewheres. Towards less (Pen)insular Modern Greek Studies Georgios Tsagdis (University of Westminster / Leiden University) The 'Elsewheres' of Modern Greek Literature By focusing on one of the most famous poems, from one of the most canonical authors of modern Greek literature, I wish to unravel the problematic of the 'elsewhere'. Cavafy's God Abandons Antony, speaks of emigration, yet in an uncanny reversal it is the city, rather than the person, that emigrates. This 'fleeing of the city', means death, yet it is not only the death of the individual, but the death of an era, of a whole world in demise. Kavafis, who embodies the cultural 'elsewhere' par excellence of modern Greek literature, might enable us orient in a literary and theoretical landscape where everywhere is elsewhere. Alexis Radisoglou (Durham University) Eurozone(s): On Articulating Europe and the Case of Greece Drawing on a larger research project on cultural constructions of a shared and divided sense of ‘Europeanness’, my paper seeks to analyze the ways in which contemporary fiction narrates Europe as a precarious domain for human praxis and political agency. Using Angela Dimitrakaki’s novel Αεροπλάστ (Aeroplast, 2015) as a case study, I focus both on the instantiation of a transnational territoriality in such texts and on their critical negotiation of the question of the possible ‘foundations’ of a shared European imaginary, highlighting different—often highly contentious—forms of contact, transfer and exchange within a plural Europe that transcends the narrowly economistic parameters and unequal power dynamics of the so-called ‘Eurozone’.

  • (Re)Ciphering Nations: Greece As a Constructed Illegibility in Odysseas Elytis’S Poetry
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, ISSN 2159-5836 January 2014, Vol. 4, No. 1, 25-33 D DAVID PUBLISHING (Re)Ciphering Nations: Greece as a Constructed Illegibility in Odysseas Elytis’s Poetry Álvaro García Marín Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Madrid, Spain In their attempt to construct their identity in opposition to European one, non-Western new nations with alphabets such as Greek, Hebrew, or Cyrillic, used them as a way of emphasizing difference, and thus provide symbolic spaces for the newborn nations. The illegibility of these alphabets for Western people, along with the ancient prestige of at least Hebrew and Greek, fostered the illusion of temporal continuity and provided legitimacy to their atomization projects. Odysseas Elytis (1911-1996), Nobel Prize for Literature winner in 1979 and the last national poet of Greece, blends this old tendency in Greek culture and the broader claim of modern European poets for the essential autonomy of art and literature. His efforts to reinforce the walls separating Greece from Latin-Western culture by reinforcing the illegibility of both Greek and poetic idioms, aim at constructing a more essential Greece, founded on aesthetics, language, and writing instead of politics, institutions, or geographic borders. In this paper, engaging mainly in the fields of literary and postcolonial studies, the author intends to analyze the mechanisms by which language, writing, or literature can be used to (re)cipher once again the already exclusive concept of nation, and thus to undermine every possibility of deciphering and translatability. He concludes that in “conceptually colonized” nations such as Greece, this process implies and anticolonial movement still caught nevertheless in a colonial discursivity.

  • Re-Imagining the Past Antiquity and Modern Greek Culture ABSTRACTS in ALPHABETICAL ORDER
    Re-imagining the Past Antiquity and Modern Greek Culture ABSTRACTS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER Effie F. Athanassopoulos [email protected] Classical vs. Byzantine pasts in the nineteenth century: Athenian monuments and archaeological practice This paper examines the changing role of Byzantium in the Greek national narrative of the nineteenth century and its relation to archaeological practice. The Modern Greek state, influenced by the European admiration for classical Greece, chose to emphasize cultural continuity with the classical past. In contrast, Byzantium was viewed as a long dark age, an alien past, which interfered with the efforts of the re- born state to establish an unbroken link with classical antiquity. Thus, the ‘purification’ of Athens was carried out by archaeologists who shared these views and felt little sympathy for the material remains of the Byzantine era. Concern for the protection of the Byzantine monuments was slow to develop. It went hand in hand with the re-discovery and rehabilitation of Byzantium, a slow process which gained momentum in the 1850s with the work of Zambelios and Paparrigopoulos . The inclusion of Byzantium into the national narrative influenced the direction of Greek archaeology which gradually began to lose its exclusive classical emphasis. Still, the demolition of medieval structures such as the Frankish tower at the Propylaia (1875) did not stop. However, there was considerable opposition and the dismantling of the tower sparked an intense debate, a debate which will be examined here in some detail. A few years later, the Christian Archaeological Society was established, and the programmatic destruction of the remains of Medieval Greece gradually came to an end.
