SUMMARY:Book Club: "Lysistrata" by Aristophanes
DESCRIPTION:This conversation is presented by the UCLA SNF Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture  and the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles \nSaturday\, November 9\, 2024 \n10 a.m. Los Angeles / 8 p.m. Greece \nVia Zoom \nClick Here to RSVP \nLed by Professor Sharon Gerstel\, Director of the UCLA SNF Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture\, and the Honorable Christina Valassopoulou\, Consul General of Greece in Los Angeles\, this academic year’s book club will feature Greek books in translation. For future book selections and meeting dates\, click here.  \nThe discussion will be held in English. \nFrom the publisher: Aristophanes’ play\, Lysistrata\, takes place toward the end of the Peloponnesian War and centers on the lives of the soldiers’ wives. One woman\, Lysistrata\, under the impression that a man’s libido is ultimately his driving force in life\, comes up with an interesting peace solution: to deny their husbands sexual relations until they can settle on a peace agreement that will end the war. However\, Lysistrata’s strategy effectively creates even more war than before as the sexes begin to feud with each other. Aristophanes’ play is both comic and poignant as it reveals the relationship between men and women in classical Athens society. \nThis program is held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles and is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). \nLinks to purchase book: \nAmazon (Translated by The Athenian Society): https://www.amazon.com/Lysistrata-Translated-Annotations-Athenian-Society \nBarnes and Noble (Translated by Jefferey Henderson): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/aristophanes-aristophanes/1102172367?ean=9780941051026&aug=1

SUMMARY:Byzantine Crime Novels in the Twenty-First Century: From History to Fiction by Panagiotis Agapitos\, University of Mainz
DESCRIPTION:Byzantine Crime Novels in the Twenty-First Century: From History to Fiction  \nA lecture by \nPanagiotis Agapitos\nGutenberg Distinguished Research Fellow\, Byzantine Literature\nUniversity of Mainz \nSaturday\, November 16\, 2024\n4:00 p.m.\n314 Royce Hall\, UCLA Campus\nReception to follow \nRSVP link: https://forms.gle/AMserxQLbWa2exNS9\nEvent is free but RSVPs are requested. \nIf you are unable to attend but would like to watch the lecture via livestream on our YouTube channel\, the link is provided below: \nLivestream link: https://youtube.com/live/bNnV8v_vlcE?feature=share \nConversation following the lecture with Professor Michael Cooperson\, Associate Director\, UCLA Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture. \nThis lecture tackles the question of “authenticity” when writing crime novels set in the remote past. Agapitos’ three novels (published between 2003 and 2009 in Greece)\, that are set in the first half of ninth-century Byzantium during the rule of the last iconoclast emperor\, Theophilos (r. 829–842)\, form the basis of a lively discussion about the challenges of producing a satisfactory narrative. The fairly clear generic conventions of a traditional British-style mystery are not applicable to a medieval culture such as Byzantium\, starting with the basic issue of the absence of detection and the relevant detective. Contemporary fans of crime fiction have broad expectations about what a detective novel should be\, but they also want a feeling of “real” history in the narrative. In his novels\, the speaker tackles this problem by employing various techniques derived from Byzantine rhetoric and narrative\, while\, at the same time using archaeological\, historical and textual studies to offer a medieval yet contemporary crime story that feels medieval but is\, in fact\, postmodern. \nPanagiotis Agapitos is the Gutenberg Distinguished Research Fellow in Byzantine Literature at the University of Mainz. Previously\, he taught for 25 years at the University of Cyprus as Professor of Byzantine Literature and Culture in the Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies. He studied at the University of Munich and received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1990. He has taught as a visiting professor at the Free University of Berlin\, the High School of Social Sciences in Paris\, Stanford University\, and the Sapienza University of Rome. His research interests focus on Byzantine literature\, the history of manuscripts and education in Byzantium\, the critical edition of Medieval Greek texts\, narratology\, theory and practice of rhetoric\, genre studies and cultural history. He has published over 90 papers on these topics\, while his most recent book is a translation into English of the Tale of Livistros and Rodamne\, a Byzantine romance of the thirteenth century (Liverpool University Press\, 2021). He is currently writing a narrative history of Byzantine literature (AD 300–1500) under contract with Cambridge University Press. In his free time\, he writes “mystery stories” set in ninth-century Byzantium. \nThis event is held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles and made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). \nGefyra (Bridge) is a collaborative program established by the UCLA SNF Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture and the SNF Centre for Hellenic Studies at Simon Fraser University with support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). Gefyra’s mission is to connect students\, faculty\, and communities along the West Coast of North America with Greek scholars\, artists\, and other creators\, so that they can together explore expansive and imaginative approaches to Greek culture and knowledge production. The program additionally supports academic conferences and cultural projects that bridge the West Coast and Greece. \nPresented by:\n \nCo-Sponsored by: \n \n \nUnder the auspices of:\n \nParking for Royce Hall is available in Parking Structure 5 located at: 302 Charles E Young Dr N\, Westwood\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095. Parking Structure 5  is accessible from Royce Drive\, south of Sunset Boulevard\, and west of Hilgard Ave. (in the northeast section of the campus). \nNo parking attendants will be on-site at the parking structure\, and Pay-By-Space/Visitor Parking is extremely limited in this lot\, so we highly encourage you to purchase a parking permit in advance: \n\nTo save time\, you may purchase your parking permit for $16 in advance using Bruin ePermit: https://bruinepermit.t2hosted.com/pnw2/selectevent.aspx.
