    Eleni Ganiti ([email protected]) PhD candidate in Art History, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, School of History and Archaeology, Faculty of Philosophy The Military Dictatorship of April 1967 in Greece and its repercussion on the Greek visual arts scene. Introduction The 21st of April, 1967 has been a portentous date in the history of modern Greece, as a group of right – wing army officers seized power, imposing a regime of military dictatorship, also known as the Regime of the Colonels or the Junta. The dictatorship came after a period of political instability in the country, intercepting the normal course of things at the political, social and economical sector. Obviously this kind of disorder could not leave the cultural life of the country unaffected. The imposing of the dictatorship had a strong impact on the evolution of the visual arts in Greece, mainly because it came at a time when Greek art, for the first time in the modern years, was finding its pace. The desire for synchronization with the international art was being finally fulfilled and for the first time Greek artists were part of the international avant guard. The visual arts scene was flourishing, the audience’s interest was growing and the future seemed promising and optimistic. Then the Junta came to interrupt this upswing. In this presentation we will attempt to explore: i) the effects of the dictatorship on the Greek visual arts scene and the artistic production of the period ii) the reaction of the art world mainly through exhibitions and works of Greek artists that were created and exhibited in the country during the seven years of the Military Regime.

  • Books and Reading Year 2005 News
    Books and Reading Year 2005 News JANUARY 05.01.05 The Three Kings, readers and socially committed, open the Books and Reading Year for the very young The first words of their majesties were in memory of all the children who, a few days earlier, had suffered from the devastating waves of the tsunami. And, just as King Melchior asked of them, the boys and girls of Barcelona sent a wave of kisses to the children in south eastern Asia and their families. The Three Kings of Orient arrived in Barcelona on the afternoon of 5th January. This was the beginning of a magical night: among the presents, this year they bore hundreds of adventures printed in story books. 350,000 people were waiting for them in the streets of the city. Melchior, Gaspar and Balthazar arrived in the Port of Barcelona at 5.30 pm on board the boat Santa Eulàlia. As is traditional they were welcomed by the Mayor of Barcelona, Joan Clos, who gave them the keys of the city so that they could enter all the houses and leave the presents. Also in keeping with an old tradition, he offered them bread and salt, in memory of a time when the town was enclosed by walls and the Governing Council, known as the —Consell de Cent,“ distributed bread to eat and salt to preserve food. Clos thanked the Kings for their visit and this year asked them to carry books as well as toys so that —the very young would get used to reading and learn to explore imaginary worlds“.

  • Food Heritage and Nationalism in Europe
    Food Heritage and Nationalism in Europe Edited by Ilaria Porciani First published 2019 ISBN: 978- 0- 367- 23415- 7 (hbk) ISBN: 978- 0- 429- 27975- 1 (ebk) Chapter 1 Food heritage and nationalism in Europe Ilaria Porciani (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) Chapter 1 Food heritage and nationalism in Europe Ilaria Porciani Food: heritage for uncertain times More than ever, food occupies a central place in our thoughts and our imagin- ation. The less we cook or eat in a decent way, the more we are concerned with the meaning and strategies of cooking, the authenticity of recipes and their normative grammar. Food, the most accessible threshold of culture (La Cecla 1997 ), is ubiquitous in television series and programmes, fi lms (Saillard 2010 ), magazines, newspaper articles and novels (Biasin 1991 ; Ott 2011 ), as well as in recent and very popular detective stories. Commissario Montalbano, created by Andrea Camilleri, makes a point of praising the true Sicilian cooking of his housekeeper while despising the cuisine from distant, albeit Mediterranean, Liguria as prepared by his fi anc é e. The hero of Petros Markaris’s detective novels, Inspector Costas Charitos, a Rum – that is, a Greek born in Istanbul – explores contact zones and frictions between the often overlapping cuisines of the two communities. The detective created by Manuel V á squez Montá lban constantly describes local and national dishes from his country in vivid detail, and mirrors the tension between local, Catalan and national cuisine. Why should this be so if these attitudes did not speak immediately to everyone? In every culture, “foodways constitute an organized system, a language that – through its structure and components – conveys meaning and contributes to the organization of the natural and social world” (Counihan 1999 , 19).

  • Joining the Dots in Translation History: the First Brecht Poetry Anthologies in Greece Dimitris Asimakoulas
    Joining the dots in translation history: the first Brecht poetry anthologies in Greece Dimitris Asimakoulas Abstract The important questions any project on translation history may ask can be distilled into three basic queries: Where can change be observed? Which intermediaries are involved? What materials are relevant? This article focuses on an important transitional moment, the move from preventive censorship to ostensible freedom of expression in Greece in 1970, and on the publication of two anthologies of Brecht's poetry, the least studied genre of his oeuvre. A critical, mixed approach of combining mediated sources (interviews, memoirs) with less mediated sources (archives, texts) in a context of low documentation culture challenges established views: quantities in the flows of cultural products are impervious to flat interpretations and translations can indeed be more political than original writing. The paratextual framing, linguistic presentation, selection and ordering of a corpus of 86 poems shows precisely that. The two anthologies under consideration constituted a whole that was greater than its parts, and were prepared by intermediaries with an emerging habitus of cultural ambassadorship. Key words: anthology, censorship, Greek, ideology, poetry, translation history 1. History: a Rosetta Stone question An increase of translation activity may often be associated with significant shifts in a given cultural space. According to a translation history project that started in the 1990s and whose aim is to chart translation flows in Greece (19th century onwards), one of the major 20th century milestones is the period following 1968, when evidence of increased translation activity may be observed (Kasines 1998). The project is still in process and has not provided answers as to what this growth meant or whether/how it was affected by censorship.

  • Political Theatre in Times of Crisis. Case Study: Our Grand Circus, a Greek Example of Epic Theatre
    Political theatre in times of crisis. Case Study: Our Grand Circus, a Greek example of epic theatre. Afroditi Spyropoulou Student number: 4190068 Tutor: Dr. Sigrid Merx Second reader: Dr. Konstantina Georgelou University of Utrecht MA Thesis 2015 15/8/2015 1 Foreword I would like to express my gratitude to the people without whom this Thesis would have never been completed. First and foremost my husband, Ciro, for his support in all aspects. Konstantina Georgelou that provided her feedback in the beginning of the Thesis with her sharp view and mostly for her own initiative to mail Dr. Philip Hager and ask for some insight. Philip Hager sent his dissertation and the article on which I based the whole subchapter about Greek dramaturgy in the beginning of the 1970s. I thank them both and I am grateful of their help. Last but not least I thank my tutor Sigrid Merx that with her kindness and patience taught me from scratch how to write academically, maintaining her calmness every time I postponed a deadline. Without her precious help I would have never finished my studies in the Utrecht University. 2 Abstract This Thesis attempts to classify the play Our Grand Circus, a symbol of the Greek 7 years long dictatorship of the middle of 1970’s. The economic crisis and political oppression that started in Greece in 2010 brought this play again onto the Greek stages after 40 years of absence, reminding the success it had back in the ‘70s. Still, though, the play remains under the vague umbrella of “political theatre”.
