Beside their socio-economic importance, these sectors are composed of several micro-companies, providing an atomized entrepreneurial landscape and tending to be marginalized in decision-making processes. Small-scale fisheries and aquaculture are currently facing common challenges: key enabling technologies, capacity creation, improved technological, and market researches for more cost-effective and sustainable solutions, resources co- management, science-based policies, improved biological and production data collection and assessment, viability and sustainability of ecosystem function. Under these premises, ARIEL project co-financed by the INTERREG VB ADRION Programme 2014-2020 (https://www.adrioninterreg.eu/), aims to promote technological and non-technological solutions for innovation of small-scale fisheries and aquaculture among scientists-policy-makers-entrepreneurs, acting as a knowledge network and considering in a single frame the complex ecological, economic and societal challenges. ARIEL will develop capacity-building actions for policy makers for the adoption of a science-based approach to improve resources co-management and develop appropriate supporting schemes to stimulate actors clustering. Project activities will lead to strategic and operational guidelines to promote open innovation in SSF and AQ led by research institutes, facilitated by policy makers, endorsed by entrepreneurs and recognized by consumers. ARIEL promotes the up taking in small-scale fisheries and aquaculture of open innovation led research, facilitated by policy and endorsed by operators involving multiple-skills organizations from Italy, Croatia, Montenegro and Greece able to strategically/operationally tackle the complex challenges of small scale fisheries and aquaculture sectors growth in the Adriatic-Ionian Region and able to identify key innovation drivers for policy and research as well as ensure project results durability and transferability. 3 The ARIEL partnership is composed by 8 scientific and institutional organizations from 4 Countries: Lead Partner: CNR-IRBIM Ancona (IT) Marche Region, Region of Sicily (IT) Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (HR) Public Institution RERA SD for Coordination and Development of Split Dalmatia County (HR) Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (GRE) Region of Western Greece (GRE) Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MEN) University of Montenegro – Institute for marine biology (MEN) Project duration: 30 months (1.1.2018-30.06.2020) Project budget: € 1 249 234.50 4 INTRODUCTION Unlike fast-growing aquaculture sector, where all scientific results and innovations are quickly integrated into business, the situation is quite different in small-scale fisheries (SSF). This fisheries sector is still largely traditional and continues to operate within framework as it was hundreds of years ago. Mediterranean fisheries have existed since ancient times, so the current fisheries pattern is the result of this long history, rather than the outcome of a specific management policy (Matić-Skoko, 2018). For most commercial species, a significant feature is that juvenile fish support most of the fishery. The mean annual landings have been around 1.5 million tons in the last decade. Mediterranean fishing production represents a limited proportion of the world production, which is about 100 million tons. But, on the other hand, the average price of the products of this activity, intended almost exclusively to be consumed when fresh, are five to ten times higher than those in most other regions of the world. Besides, from the European point of view, Mediterranean fishing is far from being marginal, since it represents nearly 20% by weight and 35% by the value of the Community's fishery production. From a socio-economic point of view, fishing activities in the Mediterranean employ several hundreds of thousands of persons. Mediterranean fisheries are highly diverse and vary geographically, not only because of the existence of different marine environments, but also because of different socioeconomic situations. Concerning the catch in recent years, countries that mostly contribute to the total landing in 2014 for the Mediterranean Sea are Italy (177,019 t), Spain (78,467 t), Croatia (78,928 t), Greece (no data), France (15,076 t), Cyprus (1,249 t), Malta (2,403 t) and Slovenia (247 t) (FAO, 2015)2, all EU member states while just small proportion fall on African Mediterranean countries. The only innovations in SSF sector are the modernization of vessels and fishing tools and techniques. Of course, there is also the use of modern fish tracking devices such as echo- sonders, sonars, GPS, ... Therefore, it is difficult to find good practice examples of transferring research results and innovations to SSF. In this sector, it is interesting to diversify the activity in which fishermen turn to fishing tourism as an additional activity during the period when the catch of fish is poor or when it is not allowed to use certain fishing gears or fish in an area. And then there is the sale of their own fish without the extra links in sale chain inside their own fish markets or to serve it directly at their restaurants. ________________________________ 1 Matić-Skoko, 2017. 3.

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Rome, Italy. 5 In general fisheries management in the Mediterranean is at a relatively early stage of development, judging by the criteria of North Atlantic fisheries (Papaconstantinou and Farrugio, 2000). Quota systems are generally not applied, mesh-size regulations usually are set at low levels relative to scientific advice, and effort limitation is not usually applied or, if it is, is not always based on a formal resource assessment. Despite this, there has been some progress towards management by means of closed seasons and areas, which has provided positive results (Di Franco et al., 2016). The fisheries legislation of the different Mediterranean countries contains a great variety of conservation/management measures which can be broadly separated into two major categories: those aiming to keep the fishing effort under control and those aiming to make the exploitation patterns more rational. The first set of measures is based on restrictions imposed on the number or fishing capacity of the vessels, rather than on catch limits and control of discards and by-catches, upon which the fisheries policy in the Atlantic mostly relies. Among these measures, some aim at preventing the expansion of the number of fishing vessels through a licensing system, and can be characterized as direct, while other measures aim at placing upper limits on the fishing capacity of individual vessels, through engine power and tonnage limitations, and can be characterized as indirect. The second set of measures is based on provisions concerning gear specification, gear deployment, fishing practices or techniques, fishing seasons or areas, and resource exploitation patterns, which are commonly known as technical measures and such type of management is characteristic for the Mediterranean. For sure multiple control methods have to be used wherever possible and closed areas should be used to buffer uncertainty. They highlighted that these closed areas must be large and exclude all principal gears to provide real protection from fishing mortality and to be really effective. Generally, collected scientific fisheries data on the state of the stocks and related issues have to be more reliable because the fishing industry need to have a better and more stable basis for long-term planning and investment, for example, when regime changes reduce productivity in response to climatic fluctuations. It is expected that this have to safeguard resources and maximize long-term yields. Reliable and up-to-date information about the state of marine resources is essential to support sound management decisions as well as effective implementation of the reformed

  • Ideas and Ideals in Contemporary Greek Literature*
    IDEAS AND IDEALS IN CONTEMPORARY GREEK LITERATURE* Few of the modern Greek authors, poets and novelists, are known in the English-speaking world. The poems of Constantine Cavafis have been trans­ lated time and again in England and in the United States. George Seferis, the Nobel-Prize winner of 1963 is also known from several translations of his poems. Nikos Kazantzakis is the most popular of all. His lengthy Odyssey, his novels and his travel books are still avidly read in the United States. Less known here, already however known and respected in Europe, especially in France, in Germany and in the Scandinavian countries, is another poet and novelist, Pandelis Prevelakis, of whom two books have been so for published in English. With the exception of some sporadic translations of poems and novels, this is almost all that is known from the contemporary Greek Literature in the United States and generally in the English-speaking world. This is certainly very little, but there is a justification to it. First and most important, other aspects of Greece seem to be more exciting than her modem literature, among them being the history, art and literature of the Classical and the Byzantine times. There is also the difficulty of the modem Greek language, which is written and spoken only by the. Greeks, less than ten million of them. Among the great groups of Arabic, Slav, Latin and Anglo-Saxon languages, Greek seems to be something exotic — as exotic also is Hebrew. I am not going to suggest that the modern Greek language deserves a greater number of students than the languages of the Arabs, of the Slavs, or of the Anglo-Saxons.

  • Nikos Kazantzakis
    Nikos Kazantzakis Nikos Kazantzakis was a Greek writer and philosopher, famous for his Novel Zorba the Greek, considered his magnum opus. He became known globally after the 1964 release of the Michael Cacoyannis film Zorba the Greek, based on the novel. He gained renewed fame with the 1988 Martin Scorsese adaptation of his book The Last Temptation of Christ. When Kazantzakis was born in 1883 in Heraklion, Crete had not yet joined the modern Greek state and was still under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. From 1902 Kazantzakis studied law at the University of Athens, then went to Paris in 1907 to study philosophy. Here he fell under the influence of Henri Bergson. His 1909 dissertation was titled "Friedrich Nietzsche on the Philosophy of Right and the State." Upon his return to Greece, he began translating works of philosophy. In 1914 he met Angelos Sikelianos. Together they travelled for two years in places where Greek Orthodox Christian culture flourished, largely influenced by the enthusiastic nationalism of Sikelianos. Kazantzakis married Galatea Alexiou in 1911 and they divorced in 1926. He married Eleni Samiou in 1945. Between 1922 and his death in 1957, he sojourned in Paris and Berlin, Italy, Russia, Spain , and then later in Cyprus, Aegina, Egypt, Mount Sinai, , Nice, China, and Japan. While in Berlin, where the political situation was explosive, Kazantzakis discovered communism and became an admirer of Vladimir Lenin. He never became a consistent communist, but visited the Soviet Union and stayed with the Left Opposition politician and writer Victor Serge. He witnessed the rise of Joseph Stalin, and became disillusioned with Soviet-style communism.

  • Turkish Archival Material in Greek Historiography*
    Türkiye Araştırmaları Literatür Dergisi, Cilt 8, Sayı 15, 2010, 755-792 Turkish Archival Material in Greek Historiography* Evangelia BALTA** “L’ histoire est une lutte contre la mort” Jacques Le Goff1 THIS PAPER aims to examine the management of the Turkish archival material apper- taining to “Greek space,” a geographical continuum which functions as the canvas on which the Greek populations were intertwined with time and history. The study describes the place of the Ottoman era in Greek historiography up to 2005. By employing the term “Turkish archives,” this study will focus on the sources written in the Turkish language, thus distinguishing them from the total of the archival material generated in the linguistically and culturally pluralistic Ottoman Empire. This choice was made precisely in order to remove any confusion that the definitive epithet “Ottoman” might cause with regard to the sources produced by other pre-national com- munities of the empire, such as the Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Arabs, etc. This subject imposes a watershed, which is directly articulated with the introduction of Ottoman Studies in Greece and its establishment in the 1980s as a new branch of historical studies, as well as its implications in terms of methods, techniques and the manner in general of approaching the Ottoman past. Consequently, the discussion of this subject will revolve around two axes. First, the fate of the Turkish sources in mod- ern Greek historiography which deal with the Ottoman period, called Tourkokratia (Turkish Domination)2 in the scheme of national history, will be examined. Second, the confrontation and manipulation of these sources by the now international historical dis- * In 2003 several of the author’s articles on Ottoman archives and Ottoman Studies in Greece were published as Evangelia Balta, Ottoman Studies and Archives in Greece, Analecta Isisiana LXX, (Istanbul: The Isis Press, 2003) with relevant bibliography.

  • A Placed Critical Inquiry Into Literary Culture in Modern Nations
    GUARDING THE WILD: A PLACED CRITICAL INQUIRY INTO LITERARY CULTURE IN MODERN NATIONS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Eric L. Ball, B.S., M.S., M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Gregory Jusdanis, Adviser Professor Patrick B. Mullen ____________________________ Adviser Professor H. Lewis Ulman Department of Greek and Latin Professor Georgios Anagnostu Copyright by Eric L. Ball 2003 ABSTRACT Scholars in humanistic disciplines have been focusing on “place” in response to issues like environmental degradation and globalization. Literary ecocritics have undertaken place-centered studies in order to address issues important to local communities and ecological sustainability. Such projects, however, have not considered important assumptions about place (and their consequences) inherent in the historically constituted category of “literature” itself. This dissertation addresses this issue by developing a historically grounded place-based theory of literary critical interpretation and by demonstrating its practice. I begin developing theory by drawing on humanistic geography for an adequate theory of place in social and ecological terms. I engage with literary and folkloric research demonstrating that modern literary categories, critical practices, and assumptions have their roots in, and continue to reflect the concerns of, projects dealing with national identity. My goal is to develop a perspective capable of analyzing simultaneously, and in relation to each other, canonical national literature and widely ignored local literatures hitherto categorized as “mere folklore.” In order to put theory into practice, and to continue developing and refining the theory, I then turn to critical interpretation of texts relevant to one particular place: Crete.

  • Ascension to Spirituality According to N. Kazantzakis (Based on the Novel “The Last Temptation”)
    M.I. LAzARIdI (Kyrgyzstan) Ascension to Spirituality According to N. Kazantzakis (based on the novel “The Last Temptation”) Every man worthy of being called a son of man bears his cross and mounts his Golgotha. Many, indeed most, reach the first or second step, collapse pantingly in the middle of the journey, and do not attain the summit of Golgotha… Afraid of crucifixion, they grow fainthearted: they do not know that the cross is the only path to resurrection. There is no other path*. Nikos Kazantzakis The legendary Cretan Nikos Kazantzakis, a Greek writer, who was ranked among some critics to the category of the greatest writers of the XX century, lived a fantastic eventful life full of diverse interests and extraordinary efforts spent on physical and spiritual salvation of man. A writer, a philosopher, a traveler and a journalist N. Kazantzakis studied in Greece (Law), in France (where he attended lectures on the philosophy of Henri Bergson); the writer delved into the essence of all the world’s religions, studied the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Vladimir Lenin; being a journalist he traveled around the world (Germany, France, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Israel, China, Japan, Russia (where he spent three years), and Mount Athos (where he had a 40 day sojourn). N. Kazantzakis was friends with Angelos Sikelianos, a wonderful Greek poet who (along with his wife E. Palmer) was at the forefront of the revival of the Delphic Games. In 1914 they journeyed to Greece historical sites, so rich in its ancient and Christian monuments. This close spiritual fellowship was useful for both of them in their not just only difficult, but the tragic fate: each of them made his way of the cross.

  • Reading List for Rest of Europe
    Suggested Reading List for Rest of Europe Books Marrying Mozart Stephanie Cowell Cowell transports us back to the eighteenth century to meet four sisters growing up in a musical family in a ramshackle Salzburg house. Their fortunes are changed with the appearance of the 21- year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and we see the impact the magnificently gifted composer had on wider society. The Hare with Amber Eyes Edmund de Waal Once one of the greatest and richest banking families of the nineteenth century, the Ephrussis’ legacy was devastated with the 1938 Anschluss when the Nazis appropriated their property. At the height of Viennese fin-de-siècle society, the family also became renowned art collectors, with special interest in all things Japanese. Their descendant, de Waal, recounts their remarkable rise and fall through the story of 264 netsuke – wood and ivory carvings that escaped the clutches of confiscation as they were smuggled away and became the final remnants of a once-great collection. Only in Vienna Duncan J. D. Smith A former travel publisher, Smith decided to branch out and put his own sightseeing ideas together for a number of cities in his Only in… series. As its title implies, this account aims to showcase some of the sights that cannot be seen elsewhere, and over 80 more unusual venues and curiosities are presented with accompanying illustrations, offering an alternative glimpse of Vienna, from the Holy Lance to Fool’s Tower. The World of Yesterday Stefan Zweig Like the Ephrussis, Zweig grew up in a wealthy Jewish family in nineteenth-century Vienna and became known as a patron of the arts with ties to some of the era’s most prominent names, both in Austria (friendships with the likes of Freud and Herzl) and across Europe (acquainted with Gorky, Joyce, Ravel, and Yeats to name a few).

  • The History and Interventions of the Hellenic League for Human Rights (1918–2013)
    THE HISTORY AND INTERVENTIONS OF THE HELLENIC LEAGUE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS (1918–2013) Michalis Moraitidis READING UP ON THE HISTORY OF THE LEAGUE: GOALS AND BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RESEARCH PROJECT The Hellenic League for Human Rights is the oldest organisation that defends and intervenes decisively for human rights in Greece, having made its appearance long before the acronym NGO (Non-Governmental Organisation) entered the Greek vocabulary. The League is an association (somateio) set up under the provisions of the Greek Civil Code, and its history is intertwined with the contemporary his- tory of Greece and the many significant changes that occurred in the public sphere during its existence. In 2012, under the supervision of its current chairman Konstantinos Tsitse- likis, professor at the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki, the Hellenic League for Human Rights initiated a research project to examine its organisational history.1 The main intent of this ongoing project is to seek out and unearth the elements composing the history of the League from its establishment towards the end of the second decade of the 20th century (1918) to the present.2 This specific goal is achieved by studying relevant primary documents, in particular the private archives of committed former members of the League. These include the private archive of its founding chairman (chairmanship 1936) Alexandros Svolos, profes- sor of constitutional law at Athens University3 and leading member of the Greek Social Democratic Party (Sosialistiko Komma – Enosis Laikis Dimokratias, SK- ELD)4; the archive of Charalampos Protopappas, lawyer, leading proponent of the 1 Until now, there are no relevant books or articles dealing with the history of the Hellenic League for Human Rights.
