Book Synopsis Greece Between East and West by : Richard Pine
Download or read book Greece Between East and West written by Richard Pine and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-29 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greece Between East and West looks at the central geopolitical situation of Greece, and its pivotal role in the Balkans and the Levant. The trend towards “modernisation” and “westernisation” is examined in the light of traditional values in culture, language, history and politics which reflect Greece’s eastern legacy and the continuing presence of that legacy in contemporary society. It features original creative writing, an interview with a leading film-maker, provocative accounts of political and cultural agitation on the Aegean islands, aspects of Greek music and drama, plus historical accounts of Greek cities like Smyrna/Izmir and Alexandria, and the new phenomenon of China’s re-creation of the historic “Silk Road”. Additionally, Greece Between East and West features a Foreword by Roderick Beaton, one of the most distinguished scholars and commentators on Greek history and social affairs, and current Chair of the British School at Athens.
Book Synopsis National Romanticism by : Balázs Trencsényi
Download or read book National Romanticism written by Balázs Trencsényi and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-10 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 67 texts, including hymns, manifestos, articles or extracts from lengthy studies exemplify the relation between Romanticism and the national movements in the cultural space ranging from Poland to the Ottoman Empire. Each text is accompanied by a presentation of the author, and by an analysis of the context in which the respective work was born.The end of the 18th century and first decades of the 19th were in many respects a watershed period in European history. The ideas of the Enlightenment and the dramatic convulsions of the French Revolution had shattered the old bonds and cast doubt upon the established moral and social norms of the old corporate society. In culture a new trend, Romanticism, was successfully asserting itself against Classicism and provided a new key for a growing number of activists to 're-imagine' their national community, reaching beyond the traditional frameworks of identification (such as the 'political nation', regional patriotism, or Christian universalism). The collection focuses on the interplay of Romantic cultural discourses and the shaping of national ideology throughout the 19th century, tracing the patterns of cultural transfer with Western Europe as well as the mimetic competition of national ideologies within the region.
Book Synopsis Ancient Greeks West and East by : G.R. Tsetskhladze
Download or read book Ancient Greeks West and East written by G.R. Tsetskhladze and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the concept of 'West' and 'East', as held by the ancient Greeks. Cultural exchange in Archaic and Classical Greece through the establishment of Hellenic colonies around the ancient world was an important development, and always a two-way process. To achieve a proper understanding of it requires study from every angle. All 24 papers in this volume combine different types of evidence, discussing them from every perspective: they are examined not only from the point of view of the Greeks but from that of the locals. The book gives new data, as well as re-examining existing evidence and reinterpreting old theories. The book is richly illustrated.
Download or read book Greece written by Roderick Beaton and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-06-04 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many, “Greece” is synonymous with “ancient Greece,” the civilization that gave us much that defines Western culture today. But, how did Greece come to be so powerfully attached to the legacy of the ancients in the first place and then define an identity for itself that is at once Greek and modern? This book reveals the remarkable achievement, during the last three hundred years, of building a modern nation on the ruins of a vanished civilization—sometimes literally so. This is the story of the Greek nation-state but also, and more fundamentally, of the collective identity that goes with it. It is not only a history of events and high politics; it is also a history of culture, of the arts, of people, and of ideas. Opening with the birth of the Greek nation-state, which emerged from encounters between Christian Europe and the Ottoman Empire, Roderick Beaton carries his story into the present moment and Greece’s contentious post-recession relationship with the rest of the European Union. Through close examination of how Greeks have understood their shared identity, Beaton reveals a centuries-old tension over the Greek sense of self. How does Greece illuminate the difference between a geographically bounded state and the shared history and culture that make up a nation? A magisterial look at the development of a national identity through history, Greece: Biography of a Modern Nation is singular in its approach. By treating modern Greece as a biographical subject, a living entity in its own right, Beaton encourages us to take a fresh look at a people and culture long celebrated for their past, even as they strive to build a future as part of the modern West.

Book Synopsis Greeks Between East and West by : David Asheri
Download or read book Greeks Between East and West written by David Asheri and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays collected in this volume, ranging chronologically from the second millennium BCE to the classical age and thematically from literature through ritual and religion to archaeology, present a variety of meetings among the realms of Greek culture and between them and the cultures with which they engaged in the course of eastward colonization. Encounters of the former kind include those between poetic myth and historical truth; between historians and their poetic heritage; between the political cultures of Sparta and Athens; and between reality and ritual. In the latter realm, Greek meets other in the fantastical writings of Ctesias; the concept of tyranny is traced back to marriage ties within the royal houses of ancient Anatolia; a link is established between the biblical Philistines and the Greek tradition of a lost Race of Heroes; and cultural traces of Greek colonists and their local neighbours are unearthed at sites around the Black Sea. The book includes a complete bibliographical listing of the writings of David Asheri.
