La présente thèse consiste à étudier l’adaptation cinématographique d’œuvres en prose de la littérature néo-hellénique de 1960 à 2015, et notamment à analyser les adaptations au cinéma des romans policiers de Yannis Maris dans les années 1960 et 1970. La première partie a pour but d’élucider la notion de l’adaptation d’un récit littéraire au grand écran sous le prisme des diverses approches théoriques de l’adaptation, dont la théorie du polysystème. La deuxième partie, en adoptant une approche chronologique, vise à présenter dans un cadre contextualisé les adaptations cinématographiques grecques et étrangères de romans, longues nouvelles, nouvelles et récits de la littérature néo-hellénique de 1960 à 2015, une pratique culturelle qui trouve ses origines aux tous débuts du cinéma grec. La troisième partie, fondée principalement sur la théorie du polysystème et une approche comparatiste, examine les adaptations cinématographiques des romans policiers de Yannis Maris de 1960 à 1979. Ces adaptations sont examinées dans une double optique, en tant qu’objets culturels nouveaux et autonomes, au sein du système cinématographique d’accueil, et en tant qu’œuvres filmiques issues d’un processus créatif qui apporte un regard nouveau sur les œuvres littéraires de départThis thesis explores the cinematic adaptation of Modern Greek prose fictions from 1960 to 2015, with a focus on the adaptation of Yannis Maris’ detective novels on screen in the 1960s and 1970s. The first part aims to shed some light on the concept of adapting a prose work for the cinema, making use of diverse theoretic approaches, including the Polysystem Theory. The second part adopts a chronological approach to offer a contextualized presentation of Greek and foreign film adaptations of Modern Greek novels, longer novellas, novelettes, and stories from 1960 to 2015 – a practice that appeared early on in Greek cinema. In the third part of the thesis, which mainly focuses on the Polysystem Theory and follows a comparative approach, Yannis Maris’ detective novels are examined from a dual perspective, both as new cultural goods in their own right within the field of reception, and as cinematic works resulting from a creative process that brings a new perspective to the original literary works

In 2004 Troy was released in movie theatres worldwide and almost immediately sparked up discussions on film’s relation to the ancient epic of Homer. The main purpose of this paper is to see the connection between Troy and Homer’s The Iliad – motion pictures’ only officially credited source of inspiration. By using comparative method and intertextual approach I try to see how a literary piece, for centuries recited and cherished by the highest academic circles is remodelled to fit the taste of a mass public. How The Iliad mutates to be a marketable product. I discuss the changes of the plot that were introduced in Troy and try to see those changes as an outcome of mutation process. Apart from the plot, the notion of a hero is also discussed: how the definition of hero changed through time? To illustrate the changes, two main heroes – Achilles and Hector are discussed, yet again using the comparative method. By approaching Troy and The Iliad as two separate cultural products (I did not view Troy as a documentary on The Iliad) I was able to connect them. I could see that the essence of the literary work and the film appears to be the same. It shows that the ancient Greek values, especially those, related to warfare and heroism, have definitely survived long enough to penetrate the modern thought.

The focus of this thesis is to trace the dialogue between the Greek cinéma d' auteur and Greek literature focusing on film adaptations of Greek literature from 1964 to 2001. It is argued that film adaptations are a sensitive prism through which to examine the auteurs’ cultural politics regarding their work and, through that, understand the economy of the auteurist cultural production itself. The thesis consists of five chapters. Chapter One presents the history of the creation of the Greek cinéma d' auteur and traces its developments in relation to the concepts of national and high art. The principle argument is that Greek literature, endowed with notions of high art and national identity, played a key role in the gradual emergence, formation and consolidation of auteurism as a cinema that enunciates national identity and articulates high art values. The next four chapters examine four film adaptations each made by an acclaimed auteur. The chapters endeavour to investigate the identity politics of each director in relation to the categories of high and national art that defined the Greek cinéma d' auteur. Moreover, the chapters aim to study the politics involved in the validation or renegotiation of auteurism itself. The major contribution of the thesis is the exploration of film adaptations of Greek literature in the Greek cinéma d' auteur which has not been systematically discussed so far. Furthermore, the investigation of the two separate components that make up the subject of the thesis, namely cinema and literature, both from a theoretical perspective and within the framework of film studies, aligns the thesis with recent discussions in Modern Greek Studies and theoretical debates about authorship in films, film adaptations as well as peripheral cinemas.

From the end of WWII to the end of the Cold War Greek foreign policy was shaped by the dynamics of the Cold War. The major issues facing Greek foreign policy decision makers in the post-cold war era are its relations with its Northern neighbors, Albania, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), and Bulgaria, its relations with Turkey, and Greece's future in the European Union. Although the three issues overlap there is consensus among the Greek political elite that the relationship with Turkey is the most pressing since Turkey poses the most immediate security threat. In the last twenty-five years the two countries came to the verge of war three times over the continental shelf in the Aegean and Cyprus. The latest crisis was in 1996. Since then Greek policy makers have embarked on a conciliatory road towards Turkey that has gained momentum in the last three years. The purpose of this dissertation is to describe the process of the recent change in Greek foreign policy vis-a-vis Turkey, as reflected in the words and deeds (speeches, interviews, statements, policies) of the Greek policy makers. In addition, the study seeks to understand how this change is related to rules existing at the global, regional, and domestic levels. The central question to be asked is: how do rules existing at these levels regulate and constitute the foreign policy process of the Greek government. I utilize the theoretical insights and concepts provided by constructivism in order to carry out my research. The analysis establishes the relationship between the agents (Greek foreign policy makers) and the various rules and explores this relationship as an ongoing process by ascertaining the social context within which this process is unfolding.

Stavrinides, Christos. „National identity in Greek cinema : gender representation and Rebetiko“. Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2011. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/14994/.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Since the foundation of the modern Greek state in 1832 there has been a major controversy amongst Greeks as to what is truly Greek. Two central viewpoints stand out and form the two versions of the Greek national identity - the Hellenic and the Romeic. Each notion of Greekness is depicted by distinctively different characteristics in terms of its origins, mentality, behavioural norms, musical preferences as well as domestic and international relations. For most of the twentieth century the Hellenic and the Romeic were expressed through cultural discourses such as film and music. The purpose of this study is to examine the expression of these versions of Greek identity in Greek Cinema and the various ways in which this leads to gender representation. Three films are used as case studies: Stella (1955), Never on Sunday (1960) and Diplopennies (1966). Through musical, textual, sociological and historical analysis, the thesis identifies the ways in which the two notions of Greekness are portrayed in the films, primarily through the personification of these identities in the male and female protagonists. The thesis illustrates how these portrayals result in the engendering of the two identities and the attribution of gender traits to the main characters. Moreover, the study delineates how in Greek Cinema the musical genre Rebetiko became indissolubly associated with the Romeic identity and, indeed, its prime signifier. Rebetiko, through its association with the protagonists, contributes to their personification of the Romeic identity and, with its gendered traits, constitutes a central factor in the formation of gender in the films. Finally, the thesis elucidates how the film musical, the only film genre in Greek Cinema to be associated with the Hellenic identity, forms the battlefield on which the two identities confront each other and are expressed more distinctly and dramatically than in any other genre.

Sakellis, Sophia. „‘Reading’ and ‘Translating’ Emotions: Nationalism in Contemporary Greek Cinema“. Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/15752.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This study explores emotions related to nationalism, and their manifestations in contemporary Greek cinema. It also investigates the reasons and mechanisms giving rise to nationalism, and how it is perceived, expressed and ‘translated’ into other cultures. A core focus within the nationalist paradigm is the theme of national identity, with social exclusion ideologies such as racism operating in the background. Two contemporary Greek films have been chosen, which deal with themes of identity, nationalism, xenophobia, anger and fear in different contexts. The study is carried out by drawing on the theories of emotion, language, translation and cinema, to analyse the visual and audio components of the two films and ascertain their translatability to an Australian audience. Both films depict a similar milieu to each other, which is plagued by the lingering nature of all the unresolved political and national issues faced by the Greek nation, in addition to the economic crisis, a severe refugee crisis, and externally imposed policy issues, as well as numerous other social problems stemming from bureaucracy, red tape and widespread state-led corruption, which have resulted in massive rates of unemployment and financial hardship that have befallen a major part of the population. In spite of their topicality, the themes are universal and prevalent in a number of countries to varying degrees, as cultural borders become increasingly integrated, both socially and economically. It is concluded that nationalism and its underlying emotions are readily translatable between the target cultures of Greece and Australia, as they remain at the core of our political discourse and sociocultural context.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The contemporary era is dominated by an Apollonian visual language, i.e. the visual language of mainstream cinema and the mass media, and this study concerns the role that critical cinema, as Dionysian subverter, plays under such conditions. I argue that critical cinema should not be viewed as something completely ‘new’ but rather as a new, or at least the latest, manifestation of an older subversive ‘Dionysian’ voice that has made its presence felt since the dawn of the hegemony of an Apollonian disposition in Homeric epic. (I maintain that the history of western culture can be understood in terms of the persistent tension between Apollonian and Dionysian dispositions, and I use the distinction Derrida makes in Différance, between restricted and general economies, to distinguish between them, respectively.) I begin by considering the Dionysian echoes within Homer’s Iliad and then consider the way in which they became a ‘roar’ in the tragedies of Aeschylus. After Aeschylus a predominantly Apollonian voice asserted itself once again (to various degrees) through the work of Sophocles and Euripides. This was in keeping with the trend towards a more (Apollonian) restricted economy that is reflected in the writings of Homer’s literary successors, and which reached a crucial stage in Plato’s valorisation of ‘dialectics’, or what I term ‘dialecticis m’, which saw the birth of ‘dialectical language’. Through Plato dialecticism, or dialectical language, became instantiated as the ‘language’ of western philosophy and this predisposed western culture to develop along predominantly Apollonian lines. This continued from Plato, through the Middle Ages, until in the 17th century this Apollonian trend became manifest in the concept of the stable, integral, autonomous and self -transparent Cartesian ego, which is inextricably linked to dialectical language that promises certainty of ‘truth’ and maintains the possibility of representing the world in its entirety (as a system). In the contemporary ‘age of a world picture’, the hegemonic (Apollonian) visual language of mainstream cinema and the mass media propagates and perpetuates the belief in the possibility of representing the world in its entirety through the image, and insofar as it caters to audiences’ needs for stability and certainty (of ‘truth’) through providing such ‘complete’ representations, shapes their subjectivity along the lines of the Cartesian ego. According to Baudrillard, in contemporary society and culture the hyperreal realm of visual language has become far more significant for individuals than their immediate, empirical experiences, and that, as a result, they are far less predisposed to discussion and reflection and far more prone to passive ‘watching’. Also, Adorno maintains that it is impossible to have a form of critical cinema because of the way in which features inherent to cinema predispose it towards being an ideological apparatus. However, if both Baudrillard and Adorno are correct then the future appears increasingly bleak as it involves nothing other than the continuation and propagation of the hegemony of the visual language of mainstream cinema and the mass media, with no possibility for critical resistance. I argue instead that critical cinema is possible because the move towards a more restricted economy, motivated by an Apollonian disposition, did not develop from Homer to the contemporary era without meeting Dionysian resistance. I trace the presence of a subversive Dionysian voice through Homer’s Iliad, through Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound, and through Plato’s Dialogues, where it echoes in the sentiments of some of Plato’s interlocutors, such as Callicles. In addition, I maintain that a ‘Dionysian’ voice resonates through both Nietzsche’s and Heidegger’s respective criticisms of ‘dialectical language’ and the ‘validity’ of the Cartesian ego. I argue that critical cinema, particularly Aronofsky’s postmodern critical cinema, parallels their similar epistemological and ontological perspectives in the way in which it engages with the (Apollonian) visual language of mainstream cinema and the mass media, and thereby, potentially, facilitates a more porous and protean subjectivity.

Chalkou, Maria. „Towards the creation of 'quality' Greek national cinema in the 1960s“. Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2008. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/1882/.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
In the field of Greek film studies, the 1960's are widely seen as the heyday of the 'Old Greek Cinema' (PEK), while the binary model 'Old/mainstream' versus 'New/artistic' still dominates historical, theoretical and critical discourse on Greek film. The contribution of this thesis is that, on the one hand, it considers the 1960s under the light of the rise of 'New Greek Cinema' (NEK) and, on the other, complicates the relationship of PEK and NEK by focusing on the culture surrounding Greek cinema of the time and by exploring the continuities and interrelations between the 'Old' and the 'New'. Particular emphasis is given to the debates about 'quality' national cinema, including issues of realism, Greekness' and 'popular authenticity', the crucial contribution of state policies and institutions such as the 'Week of the Greek Cinema' in Thessaloniki and cine clubs, the establishment of international art film in the domestic market, and the emergence of a young generation of film critics and cinephiles who promoted the idea of an indigenous art-house film culture. This thesis highlights also the 'Old Greek Cinema's' attempts to raise the cultural status of commercial film and address international audiences and its subsequent openness to formal, thematic and artistic experimentation normally associated with NEK. The rise of history as a thematic concern of Greek cinema of the 1960s is another main focus of this thesis, which attempts to reveal how the Civil-War trauma, and oppositional historical perspectives (typically associated with NEK) found way in disguised forms in the narratives of mainstream films. Finally, through a close examination of the thematic and stylistic concerns of short films made in the 1960s (which include the early works of some of the major NEK figures) it demonstrates the continuity between the cinematic developments of the 1960s and the 1970s.

Phillis, Philip. „Towards an inclusive discourse : representation of Albanian immigrants in Greek cinema“. Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2015. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/6303/.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis outlines and discusses portrayals of Albanian and Ethnic Greek migrants from Albania in contemporary Greek cinema. The focus is on seven coproduced films made between 1993 and 2009 that set out to challenge endemic xenophobia and nationalism. The latter have served the most in the exclusion of Albanian immigrants in Greece. The exclusion of Albanian migrants in Greece can be linked to a history of opposition between both countries which has led to a collective predisposition towards Albanians as inherently criminal. This is not an isolated event, but a broad phenomenon that saw Southern European cinemas becoming increasingly preoccupied with the presence of migrants in a region that has not been conditioned to hosting but rather to sending émigrés. Such films therefore also challenge the cultural bedrock of Greece and Europe. It is argued in this thesis that the shift from a national cinema to a transnational mode of filmmaking and representation, that asserts difference and a decline in national sovereignty, is an entirely alien experience to the history of Greek cinema. By utilising a holistic and critically informed framework and methodology, the author unpacks the films' creative and cultural context and addresses them as one body in relation to the specific cultural and historical backdrop. Consequently the texts per se are addressed in order to measure the degree to which they achieve a radical representation of difference and an overall shift from the norm of an insular cinema and film discourse. It is argued that the proposed films plant the seeds for an inclusive discourse but not without reinforcing obvious essentialisms that underlie nationalism and Eurocentrism. Therefore, the author argues that nationalism and Eurocentrism inform the films and hinder their aspiration towards a radical discourse.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This study traces the emergence of Greek-Cypriot Cinema in Cyprus since 1974, arguing that it is the product of a historical moment. 1974 marks a watershed in the island’s protracted political conflict which culminated in ethnic violence, a coup and war. Whilst the war has been the subject of wide ranging scholarly research its impact in forging a distinctive national cinema remains unexamined. This thesis attempts to re-address this absence. My approach is interdisciplinary, drawing on historiographical studies as well as Film Studies, Cultural Theory and Film Philosophy. Primary research includes extensive dialogues with filmmakers. All of the films examined deal explicitly with facets of space, time and memory in connection to the experiences of the war. In view of these prevalent themes the thesis makes the case for reading Greek-Cypriot Cinema through the cinema work of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, whilst holding the films’ cultural and national contexts in view. It proposes that Cinema 1:The Movement-Image (1983) and Cinema 2:The Time-Image (1985) explore the interconnection between real spaces outside of cinema and the creative spaces inside, through the categories of time and space. Centring on the conceptual shift in these volumes from a cinema of movement to a cinema of time and memory I argue that Deleuze’s paradigm offers a conceptual engagement with the distinctiveness and complexities of Greek-Cypriot Cinema; as it negotiates the real and abstract time and spaces which are imagined, reflected and visualised on the screen. Part one conceptualises Greek-Cypriot Cinema within existing studies of cinema and nation, examining Deleuze’s descriptions of modern and political cinema. Part two examines time and recollection-images in the films of Georgiou, Florides and Nicolaides, Tofarides and Koukoumas. Part three scrutinises how the changes in the political landscape after 2003 are reflected in films which imagine a new dynamic between time and spaces, creating new cinematic images in works by Farmakas, Stylianou and Danezi-Knutsen.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) provides resources, creates externalises and recomposes sector and regional specialisation. Meanwhile, capital inflows in the Balkans are quite low, and the attractiveness of different transition economies in the region is unequal. Indeed, political and economic instability, as well as overall weak performance of the Balkan countries have a strong impact on the amounts invested by Greek companies and furthermore, determine the nature, the objectives, the degree of involvement, and the modalities of FDI. This study’s main purpose is to contribute towards filling the gap in internationalisation theory by developing an integrated framework for explaining the strategic aspects of internationalisation. The purpose can be seen as a process consisting of two mutually-related steps. The first step in the process is that of developing an integrated framework capable of explaining the strategic aspect of internationalisation. The second step in this objective is to use the framework to explain the entry strategies of Greek companies entering the emerging markets of Balkans. This study is not to deal with every particular question concerning FDI in the Balkans, but to provide an adequate theoretical and empirical framework and to make its distinctive traits intelligible and to examine factors influencing a company’s decisions to enter the emerging Balkan market and performance consequences of such entry, while considering issues of company restructuring, thus being able to catch the competitive dynamics of market strategies during a systematic transformation process from a command to a market economy. In this study, the strategies of Greek companies entering the emerging markets of the Balkan countries are analysed and explained on the basis of strategic aspects of the resource based approach and transaction costs. The choice of Greece was based on the fact that it plays an important role acting as a gateway for the flow of foreign investment to the region, as well as being a major investor in the region, given its geographical position.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The present thesis evaluates the responses of the contemporary Greek foreign policy structures and processes, conceptualised as the Greek foreign policy system, in the face of the transformation of world politics. This transformation, precipitated by the concurrent complex processes of globalisation and regionalisation, pose empirical and analytical challenges to the national management of foreign policy. Consequently, government departments and agencies assigned with responsibility for the conduct of what has been traditionally termed foreign policy, namely the national foreign policy machinery with the foreign ministry and the diplomatic network at its core, find themselves challenged as roles and responsibilities are relocated. Such change underpins the machinery s institutional responses and the need to rethink its role and structure. The thesis synthesises several literatures, primarily those identified with international relations, transformational foreign policy analysis, and new approaches to diplomatic studies informed by insights from institutionalist approaches. This is combined with extensive fieldwork within the Greek bureaucracy and the diplomatic network, and seeks to cast light on a relatively understudied area: namely the organisation and nature of the Greek foreign policy system in an era of considerable change. The thesis draws a dual image of the contemporary Greek foreign policy system which displays elements of both continuity and change. According to the first image, the Greek foreign policy machinery embraces contemporary foreign policy developments, and is enmeshed in a process of change and adaptation as a response to its changing operational environment. The second image depicts the foreign policy system as traditionalist conforming to geopolitical approaches, which are linked to compartmentalisation in the organisation of foreign policy. This image is supported by evidence which suggests that the Greek foreign policy machinery is infused with elements of hierarchy, centralisation and verticality in its organisation, which prevent the adoption of integrated and horizontal models prescribed by globalist approaches to the management of foreign policy.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Throughout their history interactions with foreigners had a profound influence on the Greek sense of' self and the development of a Panhellenic identity. In many ways, Greek culture developed out of interactions with ' others'. However, Greek ethnicity did not operate as a polarity with strictly defmed categories but was a sliding scale. The endpoints were strongly structuralist understandings of 'Greek' and 'Barbarian', with various intermediary points to accommodate those who did not conform to these precise categories. Greek ethnicity was complex and fluid, meaning different things at different times to different people. The texts examined in this study, Homer's epic poems, Herodotus' Histories, and Ctesias' Persica, all variously display what it meant to be Greek, 'other', and the shades and subtleties inherent in such concepts. Homer's Trojans, although traditionally considered to be similar to the Greeks, exhibit several characteristics of 'others' as typified in fifth-century concepts of the Barbarian, demonstrating that such stereotypes have long roots. Although several contemporary texts emphasise the differences between Greeks and Barbarians, Herodotus provides an extremely sophisticated portrait of ' others' by refraining from relying upon simple stereotypes. While Homer and Herodotus present the shades and subtleties inherent in conceptions of ethnicity and alterity, Ctesias' work functions on the premise of polarity between Greeks and ' others'. Ctesias imagines Persia as a fantastical 'other', the opposite of Greece in almost every way. He plays to the stereotypes, revealing the complexities inherent in notions of ' self and 'other' . This project demonstrates that it is possible to understand contemporary Greek political thought through a backwards reading of Greek texts about 'others' .

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The purpose of this thesis is to present and explain Greece's foreign policy towards former Yugoslavia within the context of European Political Cooperation (EPC) during the period of June 1991-December 1992. This aspect of Greece's foreign policy was primarily defined by the dispute with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), that essentially constituted the more recent manifestation of the Macedonian Question. The analysis of Greek foreign policy within EPC will be based on the theory of institutionalism, which claims that international regimes can influence state behavior towards cooperative actions. The application of institutionalism requires the existence of common interests and the presence of at least one regime. This thesis shows the significant interests shared by Greece and FYROM, as well as how EPC can be viewed as a regime. Crucially, EPC was primarily responsible for dealing with issues arising from the disintegration of Yugoslavia during the months covered in this thesis. It will be demonstrated that until mid- January 1992, the Greek government pursued politics of cooperation and flexibility, often contrary to perceived national interests. These politics were primarily regime-produced and related, and hence explained by the theory of institutionalism. After 17 January 1991 however, Greece practised politics of limited cooperation within EPC and confrontation against FYROM. The issue of the new republic's exact name gradually became of paramount importance, provoking popular passions and subordinating all other issues and concerns connected to former Yugoslavia. Such developments were ultimately the result of domestic and partisan politics that were entirely unrelated to EPC, thus causing the decline of institutionalism's explanatory power. Given this record, the thesis will argue that the specific expansion of the conditions required for the application of institutionalism would allow the theory to retain its explanatory and predictive relevance. Finally, specific lessons on the conduct of Greek foreign policy will be discussed.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo estudar a trilha sonora dos filmes "Orfeu Negro", de Marcel Camus (1959) e "Orfeu", de Cacá Diegues (1999), integrando música instrumental, canção, sound design e edição de som enquanto elementos criativos das obras e sua relação com as outras linguagens que compõem a totalidade dos filmes. Será feita uma decupagem imagética e sonora analisando a trilha musical como recurso articulatório da narrativa fílmica. Serão observadas, também, as estratégias encontradas pelos diretores ao realizar a transcrição do mito Orfeu para a linguagem audiovisual. A dramaturgia dos filmes será analisada a partir de sua referência direta que é a peça "Orfeu da Conceição" de Vinicius de Moraes, que antecipou musicalmente a bossa nova. A análise compreenderá, ainda, o modo pelo qual a música se insere na dramaturgia específica do cinema e a importância do pensamento sonoro cinematográfico. O universo musical de Orfeu é tão vasto que, para se compreender as trilhas musicais dos filmes, será necessário visitá-lo em sua longa história, nas várias manifestações do mito, especialmente as dramático-musicais
Abstract: This reseach deals about the Orfeu's soundtrack including music, songs, sound design and sound edition from the movies "Black Orpheus", directed by Marcel Camus (1959), and "Orfeu", directed by Cacá Diegues (1999), likewise a creative elements and their relationships the sound and film language as a whole. The Orfeu's musical universe is so great that, to understand the soundtracks of the movies it's necessary visit and know the history of musical dramaturgy, in what many manifestations of the myth are found. The objective is to make an image and sound decupage by means of an analysis of the soundtrack as a narrative film resource. There'll be analysed too the director's strategies to make the transcription of the Orpheu's myth using the conventions of the film's language. The start point is the seminal work of Vinicius de Moraes - "Orfeu da Conceição" - that influences bossa nova and the related films. These analysis will include, either, the way music is used to articulate the dramaturgy in those movies, and the importance of the cinematografic's musical thought

In the decade between the Asia Minor debacle of 1922 and the foreign loan default of 1932, the Greek State formed tight links with the international capital market. This thesis examines the foreign loans raised. It investigates: the negotiations involved; the institutional framework through which these loans were provided; how they were used; and how they enhanced foreign tutelage over Greece. Book I explores the loans issued under the auspices of the Legue of Nations. It analyses how the League tackled the Refugee problem and uncovers how the stabilization plan was devised. It demonstrates the manner in which the League, the Bank of England and the British Treasury co-operated as regards Greece; and how these institutions withheld foreign finance (e.g. via embargoes) to force Greece to attain political stability and curb military expenditure. Book I also focuses on the divergent economic philosophy of the Greek authorities vis-a-vis the League and the Bank of England. Moreover, it brings to the surface the underlying antagonism between the International Financial Commission and the League of Nations. In addition, the parameters, other than the world economic crisis, that contributed to the demise of free convertibility in Greece are delineated. Finally, the stabilization experiment of the twenties is placed in a comparative perspective. Book II discusses foreign capital inflow outside 'formal' international control. This category of loans financed the development of infrastructure by foreign firms through 'agency' contracts. The terms and how the projects were carried out is investigated. The momentum attained in public works prior to stabilization and why it was not maintained during the gold exchange standard system is delineated. The growing dependence of the State on Hambros and the intimate relationship this merchant bank enjoyed with Greece's supervisors and the National Bank of Greece is brought into relief. Finally, an important issue analysed throughout the thesis is the internal weakness of the Greek state.

"Lesser harm is illiteracy, rather than poor and non-formal education. It is certain that among the illiterates easier one finds a virtuous person, rather than among those who have been trained without the right method. " Adamantios Korais The goal of this study is to illustrate the pedagogical value of using myths in teaching Greek as a second language. Its starting point is Carl Jung’s , view that religion and myth reflect our inner reality: "The mythology of a race is its living religion ...... Myths have a vital meaning, they are not simply represented, but they are the mental life of the primitive race. Religion is a living link with mental processes that operate independently and beyond consciousness, within the dark depths of the soul." Precisely because myths encapsulate the deeper aspects of the human psyche, they can form an attractive, an engaging tool for the teaching of languages for all levels of education. The thesis starts in Chapter one [A’] with a summary of the main ideas, theories and views on the benefit of the art of myth in the teaching of Greek, as a second or foreign language. Chapter two [B’] provides the contextual framework of Intercultural Pedagogy. It critically presents intercultural pedagogy, as a field that creates new educational models and ways of approaching pupils from different cultural backgrounds. It identifies the main reasons behind its appeal and the changes it necessitates in the educational system. The chapter demonstrates that one of the key issues facing modern societies and education systems at the global level relates to the integration and acceptance of migrants and refugees in the monolingual school and society. Within this context, we argue that the intercultural model can have multiple benefits especially for multicultural societies like Australia. These benefits include: the reciprocal acceptance of different cultures, the development of cultural competency and by extension increased levels of harmonious living conditions. Chapter three [C’], develops a model of intercultural, mythological methods of approaching thematic units of the teaching of Greek, as a second or foreign language. It examines the possible teaching resources that can be used and demonstrates their connection to the teaching of Greek as a second or foreign language. Finally, Chapter four [D’] provides an example of the practical application of the methodology developed in the previous chapters. It provides examples of the use of myths in engaging students by using all modalities of learning a language: writing, speaking, listening, comprehending. The ulterior purposes of our study are to outline the complexity of Intercultural Education, the teaching methodology of Greek, as second or foreign language and the profound theoretical documentation of them through the Art of Myth. The resetting of the political authorities for new fundamental attitudes in Education, maybe, should break the passive acceptance of multiculturality, which represents the existing global situation, starting to be based on the interculturality, which includes the aforementioned concept and represents the continuous interaction of cultures, aiming at making peoples going along with each other in a prosperous and peaceful way. Intercultural education is not a lesson, it overtakes all the lessons. Its values are taught only in practice through the intercourse of children with minority children and it leads to the opening of their spirit, based on the exploitation of the "different" as a source of knowledge. The way of teaching through the art of myth does not penetrate deeper the thorn of diversity and can be a pole of attraction and love for the language of the country being taught or offering hospitality and permanence applying not only to theory but also to the practice of pedagogy! The teaching of the Greek language, through Myth, bypasses religious references and differences, so that a friendly and familiar environment is developed, necessary for the acceptance of the culture and the axis of values that govern this "new" language! In the analysis of our research we focus on the value of the diachronicity of myths and the irreproachableness of their content, which we think transcends the people of a country or nation and can harmonize and embrace teaching each student of different ethnicity! Our research, in bilingual programs, led us to the conclusion that Greek language is taught and learnt in a pleasant, constructive and creative way through all forms of “The art of myth”!!!

In 2007, the economic crisis erupted in Greece, resulting in strict austerity measures and an ardent neoliberal trajectory. Concurrently, a filmmaking group began to produce ‘weird’ films, gaining momentum as a film movement. This thesis takes another approach to understanding the cinematic activity of this group. It casts aside the prevalent frameworks of economic crisis and national cinema. Instead, the thesis’s lenses of the counterpublic and transnational reveal that the new generation of filmmakers revise art cinema conventions and their position as creators – in the state and in the world – to meaningfully intervene in the Greek economic crisis.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.This thesis will provide the theoretical frame and some critical points regarding Public Diplomacy (PD), in conjunction with the target addressed and the results achieved by some developed countries through this kind of diplomacy. It will prove that PD is one of the most important tools for a successful foreign policy, having as its primary objective to inform, engage, and build mutual relations with foreign public opinion. In addition to that, this research paper will focus on Greece as a case study of PD by examining its level of effectiveness, capabilities, and perspectives. The final outcome is expected to be a proposed model of foreign policy, applicable to other small-sized countries.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The purpose of this study was to investigate attitudes and motivation for learning English as a foreign language in Greek upper secondary schools (Lykeia) following Gardner’s socio-educational model. Attitudes, as operationalised in the socio-educational model, can be broken down into attitudes to learning foreign languages, attitudes to the language under investigation (English in this case), attitudes to the learning situation (the FL lesson and teacher), and attitudes to the target language community (The British and Americans in the context of this study). The major research question is how attitudes, orientations, ideological attributes of the target language communities, motivation and achievement are related. The thesis sets out as its working hypothesis that attitudes and motivation are relevant to EFL learning and are major contributors to achievement. The present research was carried out in 3 state and 3 private Lykeia in Athens. A questionnaire was developed that was to a large extent adapted from Gardner and Lambert (1972) and Gardner (1985), but also incorporated elements from other survey instruments. Before launching the main study, the questionnaire was piloted and the necessary modifications were made. My findings indicate that to a large extent the socio-educational model is relevant to the present context of research, although the contribution of attitudes towards the target language communities and the ideologies they represent to motivation do not seem to be as important as was initially hypothesised. The study concludes with recommendations based on the findings and suggestions for further research.

Tourism - in particular its determinants and effects - is an issue presently attracting
much attention worldwide.
International tourism is considered to be the largest single item of the world's
foreign trade and for some countries it is the most important export industry and
earner of foreign exchange. In addition to its economic significance, tourism
contributes to the quality of life. It produces intangible benefits which are directly
related to the physical and psychological health of people, and the enjoyment of the
right to rest and free time. This applies with equal validity to both domestic and
international tourism; the latter establishing international economic, political and
socio-cultural links, as well as strengthening the domestic character of a nation. At
the individual level, tourism satisfies the need to travel in search for relief from the
stress of work and the routine of daily life in the big urban centres. At macro
(country) level, tourism is, therefore, a human and economic activity which concerns
most of us in many parts of the world, directly or indirectly.
One country for which foreign tourism is of considerable importance is Greece.
In order to identify likely supply constraints (e. g. tourist accommodation and basic
infrastructure) and to establish the major market segments of Greek tourism, the
growth and structure of foreign tourism in Greece between 1960 and 1984 is
examined. Special attention is given to the magnitude of tourism in Greece and its
economic effects on the national economy. The non-economic effects of tourism
are also considered. This is followed by the construction of a tourist profile so that
the types of foreign visitors that go to Greece are identified. Subsequently, an
econometric model is developed and empirical results provided to explain foreign
tourist arrivals in Greece and to assess the impact of promotional expenditure by
the Greek National Tourist Organisation in a number of foreign tourist generating
markets. Finally, a tourism marketing planning model is devised which highlights
the main variables affecting the international tourism marketing policies of the
Greek National Tourist Organisation and, in particular, empirical results are used in
conjunction with- a tourism market choice matrix for selecting market targeting
strategies.
The major conclusion emerging from the research is that as the tourist industry in
Greece is of vital importance, the adoption of a strategic, interdisciplinary and
integrated tourism planning process along with the establishment of a tactically
orientated task unit could provide important improvements in the effectiveness and
contribution of tourism in Greece.
A few proposals regarding future policies by the Greek authorities are made, such as
the establishment of a co-ordinating body orchestrating the efforts of the
appropriate groups relevant to the multifaceted nature of tourism.Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)

The Macedonian Question has attracted much attention since the 1990s due to the emergence of the dispute over the name of Macedonia between Greece and the Republic of Macedonia. In Greece there is a prolific literature on this subject, but some basic questions remain unanswered. In particular, the role of the government, and of government institutions – especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – have attracted little or no attention: on the contrary, historians have focused on the „heroes‟ of the conflict, the fighters themselves, the result being that the Macedonian Question is understood as a military fight of good versus evil. In this D.Phil. thesis, we examine how the government got involved with the Macedonian Question and second, in what ways it was involved, especially given that an official acknowledgement of the government‟s involvement with the paramilitary operations was diplomatically impossible. We approached these questions by examining the personal archives of Greek politicians and diplomats (most notably of the Dragoumis family) and the Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, especially the Archives of the Greek Embassies in London, Paris and Constantinople, which have only recently become available. The key finding is that the Greek government, despite its declarations to the opposite effect, was involved heavily with the paramilitary fighting in Macedonia, but also that the official involvement with Macedonia was constrained and influenced by electoral concerns and by the powerful Macedonian lobbies in Athens. Decisions were rarely made in a rational, bureaucratic way, but were more often reached after consultations with journalists, military officers and intellectuals and always bearing domestic political realities in mind. These findings suggest that future research should move away from understanding the „Macedonian Struggle‟ solely as a military issue, and put it into the wider context of early twentieth-century Greek political and diplomatic history.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The thesis describes a range of discourse on language in cinema as they have emerged in film reception, production and exhibition contexts in Europe, and assesses their implications for the critical construction of European cinema. The thesis argues that the ‘problem’ of language is constituted in a number of pervasive but seldom acknowledged discourses which have circumscribed the ways in which the category ‘European cinema’ is understood. The primary sources utilised in the research, which date from the 1920s to the present day, are film magazines and journals, trade journals, policy documents and interviews. The thesis pays particular attention to the exhibition and reception cultures surrounding ‘foreign-language films’ in Britain. It takes a historical approach in addressing the cineaste attitudes promoted in the magazines Close-Up and Sight and Sound, and reflects upon the reaction against the film appreciation tradition communicated by the journal Screen. The thesis also explores the positioning of European cinema at film festivals and contemplates the translation issues therein, including the contemporary correspondence between the practice of subtitling and rhetoric on the ‘original version’ and the culturally ‘authentic’ film. It examines how language is implicated in the argument for a ‘cultural exception’, which was used in defence of European film industries during the 1993 GATT negotiations, and considers how filmmakers in Denmark have attempted in their production activities to test the parameters of this discourse on exceptionality by producing Dogma ’95 and English-language ‘cross-over’ films. The thesis finally looks at the relationship between Scottish cinema exhibitors and the European Commission, organisations which are institutionally linked through the Europa Cinemas network, and suggests that a similar ethics of consumption is articulated by each with respect to European cinema. The thesis argues that while the status of European cinema as foreign-language cinema is rarely addressed, its framing as such nonetheless impinges significantly upon the ways in which European films are consumed.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Japan is an important ally of the United States–the world’s third biggest economy, and one of the regional great powers in Asia. Making sense of Japan’s foreign and security policies is crucial for the future of peace and stability in Northeast Asia, where the possible sources of conflict such as territorial disputes or the disputes over Japan’s war legacy issues are observed.
This dissertation explored Japan’s foreign and security policies based on Japan’s identities and unconscious ideologies. It employed an analysis of selected Japanese films from the late 1940s to the late 1950s, as well as from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s. The analysis demonstrated that Japan’s foreign and security policies could be understood in terms of a broader social narrative that was visible in Japanese popular cultural products, including films and literatures. Narratives of Japanese families from the patriarch’s point of view, for example, had constantly shaped Japan’s foreign and security policies. As a result, the world was ordered hierarchically in the eyes of the Japan Self. In the 1950s, Japan tenaciously constructed close but asymmetrical security relations with the U.S. in which Japan willingly subjugated itself to the U.S. In the 2000s, Japan again constructed close relations with the U.S. by doing its best to support American responses to the 9/11 terrorist attacks by mobilizing Japan’s SDFs in the way Japan had never done in the past.
The concepts of identity and unconscious ideology are helpful in understanding how Japan’s own understanding of self, of others, and of the world have shaped its own behaviors. These concepts also enable Japan to reevaluate its own behaviors reflexively, which departs from existing alternative approaches. This study provided a critical analytical explanation of the dynamics at work in Japan’s sense of identity, particularly with regard to its foreign and security policies.
