SUMMARY:John Kittmer\, "'From the Tip of My Little Finger a River Flows:' Yannis Ritsos's Response to Dictatorship (1967-1970)"
DESCRIPTION:‘From the Tip of My Little Finger a River Flows:’\nYannis Ritsos’s Response to Dictatorship (1967-1970) \nA lecture by\nDr. John Kittmer\, former British ambassador to Greece\nin celebration of National Poetry Month. \nApril 22\, 2023\n10:00 AM Los Angeles/8:00 PM Athens\nVia Zoom \nOpening remarks by Her Excellency\nAlexandra Papadopoulou\,\nAmbassador of Greece to the United States \nExclusive poetry reading by renowned Greek actor \nStelios Mainas (Tetarti 04:45\, Mystikes Diadromes\, The Island) \nIn the first days of the Greek military dictatorship of 1967-1974\, Yannis Ritsos was imprisoned without trial: he was held initially in internment camps on the islands of Gyaros and Leros\, and then under house arrest at the family home in Karlovasi on Samos. The period of his confinement was lifted only in November 1970. During much of this period\, he was not only confined and harassed by the authorities\, but he was also very unwell. Despite this\, he managed to write and to maintain\, for the most part\, an astonishing rate of productivity\, producing nine collections of short poems and several long poems in different forms. In this talk\, we will look at Ritsos’ life and work during these years of confinement\, examining his poetic response – in short and long poems alike – to the conditions in which he was held\, the psychological pressures under which he was placed\, and the wider abuses of the military dictatorship. We shall consider the extent to which poetry offered Ritsos some sort of solution to the challenges he faced. \nJohn Kittmer is a former British ambassador to Greece and is the chair of The Anglo-Hellenic League. He has degrees in classics and modern Greek\, and wrote a prize-winning Ph.D. thesis on Yannis Ritsos. He is working on several publication projects in connection with Ritsos. His recent collaboration with the poet David Harsent on the poetry Ritsos wrote in the early years of the Colonels’ dictatorship will be published at the end of March (David Harsent\, A Broken Man in Flower: Versions of Yannis Ritsos\, introduction by John Kittmer [Hexham: Bloodaxe Books\, 2023]). \nIn case you missed it\, please view the video of the presentation below: \n \nThe event is cosponsored by the Embassy of Greece in the United States. \nThis program is supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).

SUMMARY:Themistoklis Aravossitas\, "Greek Language Education in North America: New Directions and Challenges" on International Greek Language Day"
DESCRIPTION:The lecture is offered on the occasion of International Greek Language Day. Her Excellency\, Alexandra Papadopoulou\, Ambassador of Greece to the United States\, will offer opening remarks. \nFebruary 11\, 2023\, 10:00 AM PST/1:00PM EST/8:00 PM Athens \nThe event takes place on Zoom. View a recording of this talk here. \nModern Greek is taught and learned across North America mainly as a heritage language\, through a complex education system that includes a variety of programs and learning materials\, as well as a diverse group of learners and teachers. This presentation discusses experiences\, community projects\, and studies from Toronto\, a representative anglophone multicultural city\, in order to examine the broader conditions of Greek language education in the diaspora. Asking how today’s schools and programs can serve the needs of future generations\, we examine some of the challenges faced by educators and community leaders: What is language shift and how it can be resisted? What’s the position of heritage languages in our society? What are the priorities for today’s parents and students and how can Greek language programs meet their needs? Has the pandemic affected the learning of Greek in the USA and in Canada? What types of opportunities emerge from information and communication technologies for our schools and communities? Proposing synergies between schools\, universities\, and community partners\, we argue that the future of Greek language education is ours to envision and plan. \nThemistoklis Aravossitas earned his BA in Education at the University of Athens. He completed his graduate studies at the University of Toronto\, with an MA and a PhD in Curriculum\, Teaching and Learning at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. He specializes in Heritage Languages\, Teacher Education\, and Knowledge Media Design. His doctoral work\, titled The Hidden Schools\, explored Greek language education in Canada. He is a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of the Aegean. He teaches Modern Greek at the Centre for European Studies in the Munk School of Global Affairs\, and at the Department of Languages\, Literature and Linguistics of York University. His scholarly work includes the co-edited volumes: Language Diversity in Greece: Local Challenges with International Implications (Springer\, 2020); Interdisciplinary Research Approaches to Multilingual Education (Routledge\, 2019); Handbook of Research and Practice in Heritage Language Education (Springer\, 2018). \nThe event is cosponsored by the Embassy of Greece in the United States and the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles. \nThis program is supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF)

SUMMARY:Roger Michel\, "Phidias Unbound: How Robot-Generated Replicas Could Solve the Parthenon Marbles Quandary"
DESCRIPTION:The Parthenon Marbles\, commonly known as the Elgin Marbles\, were removed from the ancient Acropolis of Athens in 1801 by Lord Elgin\, British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Carved by the sculptor Phidias\, they were eventually sold to the British government in 1817 and are housed in the British Museum. Public debate about repatriating the marbles is heated and ongoing. \nCan the creation of exact copies of the originals resolve the repatriation quandary? Roger Michel\, executive director of the Institute of Digital Archaeology\, at the University of Oxford\, believes the repatriation issue can be resolved with the help of 3-D machining. His research team has developed a robot with the ability to create faithful copies of large historical objects. Michel will explore humanity’s connection to culturally significant objects and the emphasis we place on physical possession. Is possession an inherently colonial concept? Are heritage assets particularly susceptible to being exploited for the purposes of historical revisionism? Under what circumstances can copies provide satisfactory substitutes for original material? These questions will be examined against the backdrop of the IDA’s ongoing Elgin repatriation efforts. \nRoger Michel is the founder and Executive Director of the Institute for Digital Archaeology (IDA). The IDA operates globally\, undertaking a huge variety of heritage projects\, many of which are aimed at advancing social justice goals. Its principal partners are the UN\, UNESCO\, and local and national governments. Mr. Michel has published and lectured frequently on various heritage conservation topics. He was a member of the faculty at BU Law School for 25 years\, is an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College (Oxford)\, and is co-publisher of Arion Magazine. Mr. Michel is a graduate of Harvard and Oxford Universities. \nThis event\, co-presented by the UCLA/Getty Program in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage\, is being held under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in Los Angeles and with the generous support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.

SUMMARY:Johanna Hanink\, "Bones\, Stones\, Trees\, and Roots: On the Enduring Urgency of Karkavitsas' Archeologist (1904)"
DESCRIPTION:How does a novella written more than one hundred years ago help to illuminate pressing issues in Greece today? Karkavitsas’ Archeologist\, an allegory for the contestation of antiquity’s role in Greek modernity\, was published at a time when Greece’s ancient past was emerging as a modern national industry. Major excavations were tied to the establishment of foreign schools in Greece\, while the sheer quantity of new archeological inspired a boom in museum construction. This talk will explore some of the early critiques that the work offered of the early Greek antiquity industry\, and of the mentalities – both foreign and domestic – that drove it. In the spirit of National Translation Day\, this talk will also consider the work’s many reflections on the Greek language (and the “Language Question”)\, as well as the complications the work itself presents for translation on both linguistic and cultural levels.  \nJohanna Hanink is Professor of Classics at Brown University. She is the author of Lycurgan Athens and the Making of Classical Tragedy (Cambridge 2014) and The Classical Debt: Greek Antiquity in an Age of Austerity (Harvard 2017). She is also a translator of Ancient and Modern Greek. \nThis lecture is offered on the occasion of International Translation Day\, in collaboration with the Embassy of Greece in Washington\, DC\, the UCLA Department of Classics\, and the Archaeological Institute of America\, Los Angeles Chapter. The discussion will be co-moderated by Professor Sarah Morris (Classics; Cotsen Institute of Archaeology) and Dr. Simos Zenios (UCLA SNF Hellenic Center). \nView a recording of this talk here. \nFor further information about The Archeologist and Selected Sea Stories\, visit the publisher’s site.

SUMMARY:Eleni Kefala\, "Strangers No More: Constantinople\, Tenochtitlan\, and the Trauma of the Conquest"
DESCRIPTION:The Byzantines had long dreaded the year 1492. According to their calculations based on the Scriptures\, it would bring the end of the world. In an eerie stroke of irony\, they were right in their fears. Even though they were slightly off in the timing of the fall of Constantinople into the hands of the Ottomans\, they anticipated with uncanny accuracy the end of the world as they knew it. Columbus’s crossing of the Atlantic paved the way for the European colonization of the Americas. But what is there in common between Byzantium and America beyond some bemusing serendipities? This paper approaches that question by rehistoricizing the fall of Byzantine Constantinople (1453) and Aztec Tenochtitlan (1521) while looking at three sorrowful poems composed by anonymous Greek and Aztec authors soon after the conquest of the Byzantine and Mexica empires.\nEleni Kefala is Senior Lecturer at the University of St Andrews. Her work explores modernity across different periods and cultures from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. She is the author of Peripheral (Post) Modernity: The Syncretist Aesthetics of Borges\, Piglia\, Kalokyris\, and Kyriakidis (2007)\, The Conquered: Byzantium and America on the Cusp of Modernity (2020)\, and Buenos Aires Across the Arts: Five and One Theses on Modernity (2022)\, and editor of Negotiating Difference in the Hispanic World: From Conquest to Globalisation (2011). \nEvent Co-Sponsored by the SNF Centre for Hellenic Studies\, Simon Fraser University. \nTo register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/300210596977 \n

SUMMARY:Roderick Beaton\, "Asia Minor in the Life and Work of George Seferis"
DESCRIPTION:A Celebration of National Poetry Month \nIn May 1944\, at the height of a new crisis facing the Greek government in exile during World War II\, which he served as a high-ranking diplomat\, George Seferis confided these thoughts to his Alexandrian Greek friend Timos Malanos: ‘It might surprise you if I tell you that the event that has affected me more than anything is the Asia Minor Catastrophe. . . . From the age of 13 I’ve never ceased to be a refugee.’ This talk describes Seferis’s early life in Smyrna and the seaside village of Skala tou Vourla\, and the ways in which he came to reflect on both\, in later essays and poems. Moving forward to the end of the 1940s\, the story resumes when the poet returned to his birthplace while serving in the Greek embassy in Ankara. During this period\, traveling widely in Asia Minor\, Seferis experienced what he termed a ‘wider Hellenism’\, one that encompassed the Hellenistic expansion in the wake of the conquests of Alexander the Great and continued throughout the millennium of the Byzantine Empire. From these later experiences\, and the poems\, essays\, and diaries that he wrote at the time\, it emerges that\, for Seferis\, Asia Minor had become not only his own ‘lost homeland’ and that of his family and more than a million of his contemporaries: it was also the ‘lost homeland’ of Hellenism itself\, whose heartland it had been for many centuries. \nRoderick Beaton grew up in Edinburgh and studied English Literature at Cambridge\, before specializing in Modern Greek studies. For thirty years until his retirement\, he held the Koraes Chair of Modern Greek and Byzantine History\, Language and Literature at King’s College London\, and is now Emeritus. Beaton is the author of several books of non-fiction\, one novel\, and several translations of fiction and poetry\, all of them connected to Greece and the Greek-speaking world. He is a four-time winner of the Runciman Award\, and his books have been shortlisted for the Duff Cooper Prize and the Cundill History Prize. He is a Fellow of the British Academy (FBA)\, a Fellow of King’s College (FKC)\, and Commander of the Order of Honour of the Hellenic Republic. From 2019 to 2021 he served as a member of the Committee “GREECE 2021\,” charged by the Greek government with overseeing events commemorating the 200th anniversary of the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821\, and from September to December 2021 as A.G. Leventis Visiting Professor in Greek at the University of Edinburgh. His latest book\, The Greeks: A Global History\, is published by Basic Books (October 2021). \nThis event will be introduced by Her Excellency Alexandra Papadopoulou\, Ambassador of Greece to the United States. \nExclusive poetry reading by renowned Greek actor Stelios Mainas (Tetarti 04:45\, Mystikes Diadromes\, The island) \nRSVP here. \nDownload handout of readings.

SUMMARY:Takis Mavrotas\, "Theofilos: 'The Evzone of Painting'"
DESCRIPTION:This lecture\, co-sponsored by the Embassy of Greece\, will be introduced by Her Excellency Alexandra Papadopoulou\, Ambassador of Greece to the United States \nThe acclaimed folk artist Theophilos represents the tradition of Greece and its people. Born in ca. 1870 in a village close to Mytilene\, his father was a cobbler while his mother\, Penelope Hatzimihail\, was the daughter of an icon painter. In 1897\, he settled in the town of Volos on the Greek mainland\, and worked as a freelance painter\, creating murals in inns\, houses\, and shops in various villages in the area. His paintings fall into two categories: those inspired by life and those inspired by Greek mythology\, history\, and religion. His work was fundamental to the Generation of the 1930s\, whose artists viewed his paintings as the essence of Greekness. This year\, the B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation in Athens has organized a large retrospective\, including loans from the Municipality of Mytilene and the Theophilos Museum. The ninety-four exhibited works manifest the artist’s spirit and soul\, his inner truth that always served and respected the nation’s needs – a nation that has lived both glorious as well as tragic moments. Our event begins with greetings from the Foundation’s General Manager\, Dr. Fotis Papathanasiou\, and its Board Advisor and Contemporary Curator Marina Miliou Theocharakis\, who will both make a short presentation about the Foundation. Exhibition curator Takis Mavrotas will lecture about the painter and his work. Finally\, Evangelia Efthimiadou (Exhibitions Project Manager) and Irene Alexandrakis (Education Manager) will take us on a virtual tour of this important exhibition. \nTakis Mavrotas is Director of Visual Arts at the B. & M. Theocharakis Foundation. He has curated numerous individual and group exhibitions\, including: “Views of Magna Grecia” by Enzo Crea (National Bank of Greece Educational Foundation\, Athens\, 1987); “Takis-Chryssa” (European Cultural Centre of Delphi\, 2000); “Pillars and Columns” (European Cultural Centre of Delphi\, 2005); “The Cyclades through the Lens of 20 Contemporary Artists” (Goulandris Museum of Cycladic Art\, Athens\, 2005); “Giorgio de Chirico and Greece: A Journey through Memory” (Athinais Cultural Center\, Athens/Onassis Foundation\, New York\, 2007); “A Forest of Sculptures—The Simon Spierer Collection from the Darmstadt State Museum” (Athinais Cultural Center\, Athens\, 2008); “35 visual artists stand for Democracy” (Zappeion\, Athens\, 2009); “Leonardo Cremonini” (Athinais Cultural Center\, Athens\, 2010); “C. P. Cavafy: Pictured. 40 Contemporary Greek Artists” (Theocharakis Foundation\, Athens\, 2013); “Dimitris Mytaras: Painting” (European Parliament\, Brussels\, 2014); “Picasso-Cocteau: Pioneers of Modernism (Theocharakis Foundation Athens\, 2015); “Odysseas Elytis: Poetry and Painting” (Telogleion Arts Foundation\, Thessaloniki\, 2016); and “George Seferis: When the light dances\, I speak fairly” (Telogleion Arts Foundation\, Thessaloniki\, 2019). He has published books\, catalogues\, and has written numerous articles and reviews on the visual arts. \nThis lecture is also co-sponsored by the SNF Centre for Hellenic Studies at Simon Fraser University. \nTo sign up for the lecture\, click here. \n
