SUMMARY:Katherine Fleming\, "How to Think About the Past"
DESCRIPTION:“How to Think About the Past” \nLecture by \nKatherine Elizabeth Fleming \nPresident and CEO\, J. Paul Getty Trust\nand Alexander S. Onassis Professor of Hellenic Culture and Civilization\,\nDepartment of History\, New York University (NYU) \nMarch 2\, 2024 \n4:00 p.m. \nUCLA Fowler Museum\, Lenart Auditorium\nReception to follow \nEvent is free but advanced registration is requested\n \nIntroductory remarks by The Honorable Christina Valassopoulou\, Consul General of Greece in Los Angeles. \nThis lecture will not be livestreamed or recorded. \nIn his poem “O gyrismos tou xenitimenou” (“The Return of the Exile”)\, Giorgos Seferis famously wrote that the protagonist’s nostalgia for Greece had created a “non-existent country.” \nWe access the past in various ways\, none of them totally reliable: memory\, nostalgia\, history — carry with them different implications and different defects. This talk will consider various ways in which these different pathways to the past connect to modern Greek history\, literature\, and nationalism. Drawing on examples from contemporary oral history and from Greek-Jewish memoirs\, it will consider the various ways in which the past is always with us — and always changing. \nKatherine Elizabeth Fleming is President and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust and the Alexander S. Onassis Professor of Hellenic Culture and Civilization in the Department of History at New York University (NYU)\, where she served as Provost from 2016 to 2022. A historian of Modern Greece and the Mediterranean\, her interests range from religious identity to historical memory to oral history. In Greece she is the co-director of the large-scale public history project ISTORIMA.ORG\, which she co-founded with the journalist Sofia Papaioannou with a significant grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.  From 2012-2016 she was President of the Board of the University of Piraeus in Greece. She currently serves as a political appointee to the administrative board of the University of Paris system in France.  \nThis event is being co-sponsored by the LMU Basil P. Caloyeras Center for Modern Greek Studies and held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles. This program is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). \n \n \nParking Information: \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). \nTo view the walking map from Parking Structure 5 to the Fowler Museum\, click here. \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\n\n\nTo save time\, you may purchase your parking permit for $15 in advance using Bruin ePermit: https://bruinepermit.t2hosted.com/pnw2/selectevent.aspx.

SUMMARY:"Liberalism and the Foundations of the Modern Greek State (ca 1830-1880)" Lecture by Michalis Sotiropoulos
DESCRIPTION:Liberalism and the Intellectual Foundations of the Modern Greek State (ca 1830-1880) \nLecture by Michalis Sotiropoulos\, The 1821 Fellow in Modern Greek Studies\, British School at Athens  \nSaturday\, March 16\, 2024\n4:00 p.m.\n314 Royce Hall\, UCLA\nReception to follow \nThis event is free to attend but advance RSVP is requested.\nRSVP link: https://forms.gle/k9RShpX6Y7yzxZYX7 \nIntroductory remarks by The Honorable Christina Valassopoulou\, Consul General of Greece in Los Angeles. \nQ&A moderated by Simos Zenios\, Associate Director\, UCLA SNF Center for the Study of Hellenic Culture  \nThe lecture will be recorded\, after the event\, you will be able to find the recording on our YouTube channel here. \nAbstract:\nThe Greek state was a direct outcome of the Greek Revolution of 1821-30. During the revolution itself\, several attempts were made to give the state a political form\, with the Kapodistrias administration (1828-31) probably being the most consistent of them. After the assassination of Kapodistrias in 1831 and the anarchy that ensued\, the Great powers intervened and agreed to make the 17-year-old Prince Otto of Bavaria the monarch of Greece. The modern Greek monarchical state\, initially in effect absolutist\, was reshaped by two moments of revolt: 1843\, king Otto was forced to grant a constitution sanctioning a national parliament; and 1862\, when he was forced to abdicate\, opening the way for a new constitutional process\, the election of a new king\, and the promulgation of a new\, remarkably liberal constitution. Although both these processes were instrumental for the formation of the early Greek state\, they have received surprising little attention from historians. This lecture seeks to fill this gap and offer an interpretation of these political transformations and in particular of the ousting of King Otto. It argues that a significant factor in the criticisms against the Bavarian monarchy was a liberal ideology that was gradually formulated by a group of legal scholars – at times university professors\, lawyers\, jurists\, members of legislative committees\, politicians\, ministers etc. By focusing on the thought and public action of these jurists – figures such as Pavlos Kalligas\, Nikolaos Saripolos\, Ioannis Soutsos\, Ioannis Rallis\, to name but a few – this lecture has three aims: to shed new light on how and why these transformations came about;  to assess the liberal language that informed them; and to assess the short-term and long-term significance of these transformations for the history of modern Greece.  \nBio:\nMichalis Sotiropoulos\, FRHistS\, is a historian of modern Europe specializing in the intellectual history of the Mediterranean and the Greek world in the long nineteenth century. Sotiropoulos has earned a PhD from the University of London and is currently the 1821 Fellow in Modern Greek Studies at the British School at Athens and principal investigator of the SNF-funded research project ‘Unpublished Archives of British Philhellenism during the Greek Revolution\, 1821-1832’. His publications include studies of the Greek Revolution of 1821\, on law and the formation of states\, and on the historiography on the Age of Revolutions\, while his monograph Liberalism after the Revolution: The Intellectual Foundations of the Greek State\, ca. 1830-1880 was recently published by Cambridge University Press. In October 2024 Michalis will be joining the University of Edinburgh as a Lecturer in Modern Greek Studies. \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. \n \nParking Information:\n \nParking for Royce Hall is available in Parking Structure 4.  \nParking Structure 4 is located at: 221 Westwood Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA 90095.
