Citizens of Turkey, members of the Greek Orthodox church and Arabic speakers, members of this small but historic community stood at the crossroads of three nationalisms: Greek, Syrian and Turkish. Following the urbanization waves that swept through the Turkish countryside since the 1950s, thousands of Hatay Greek Orthodox moved to Istanbul and were given the chance to integrate with the Greek minority there. The case of the Hatay Greek Orthodox community points to the resilience of millet-based identities, more than a century after the demise of the Ottoman Empire.","PeriodicalId":43258,"journal":{"name":"BYZANTINE AND MODERN GREEK STUDIES","volume":"46 1","pages":"263 - 279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45616931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The technique of reconstruction from fragments or restoring epigrams is not unconnected with the type of so-called ‘prismatic expression’ used by Elytis in the creation of his own poetry: a prism's polyhedral and crystalline form allows for the coexistence of facets significant in themselves, but which, when arranged in a new composition, create a new and harmonious entity.","PeriodicalId":43258,"journal":{"name":"BYZANTINE AND MODERN GREEK STUDIES","volume":"46 1","pages":"280 - 294"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43099411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Marc D. Lauxtermann, Byzantine Poetry from Pisides to Geometres: Texts and Contexts. Volume Two. Vienna: Austrian Academy of Sciences Press, 2019. Pp. 431.","authors":"E. Jeffreys","doi":"10.1017/byz.2022.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/byz.2022.11","url":null,"abstract":"It is with great pleasure, and a certain amount of relief, that one welcomes the appearance of the second volume of Marc Lauxtermann’s masterly study of the Byzantine poetry written between the seventh and tenth centuries: relief because the first volume appeared quite some time ago, in 2003 with its follow-up promised for 2006 (by which time life – as L puts it – had intervened), and pleasure because this second instalment lives up to the insights of the first. It must be stressed, however, that the two volumes were devised as a unit from the outset and that practicalities of size had led to the split. So the rationale behind this second volume must be sought in the first. Here L’s reasoning is set out in the three chapters that make up the first Part of the three that form the complete work: Parts One (Texts and Contexts) and Two (Epigrams in Context) are in vol. 1 and Part Three (Poems in Context) in vol. 2. L’s intentions are to examine all Byzantine poetry composed within his chosen period, apart from hymnography which makes specialist musical demands on commentators. His starting and ending points are confessedly arbitrary but delimit an ill-examined period that comes before an era of great poets, such as Mauropous, Christopher Mytilenaios or Theodore Prodromos, and the more studied Komnenian and Palaiologan ages. L covers poetry written in Greek both in Constantinople and beyond the city (e.g. in Sicily and South Italy) but excludes anything using the vernacular (admittedly scanty in these centuries). The modern reader, L argues, has to accept that Byzantine poetry works by rules unfamiliar to today’s audiences; but, if discussion of texts operates with due consideration for the historical context from which they emerge, the results can be productive: a modern reader has a much better chance of understanding what a medieval author was getting at if that reader has a sense of what rules are being respected or subverted: ‘Grammar, vocabulary, metrics and genre are just tools’ which open up Byzantine literary productions for further exploration.","PeriodicalId":43258,"journal":{"name":"BYZANTINE AND MODERN GREEK STUDIES","volume":"46 1","pages":"295 - 296"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42604762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores this characteristic feature of the tradition through comparative analysis of the structuring roles occupied by such characters in the fifteenth-century History of Doukas and the protagonistic role of the Florentine people in the contemporary History of the Florentine People by Leonardo Bruni. Transhistorical comparison, organized around two case studies, serves to denaturalize the roles played by emperors and sultans in both Byzantine and modern historiography.","PeriodicalId":43258,"journal":{"name":"BYZANTINE AND MODERN GREEK STUDIES","volume":"46 1","pages":"196 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42018352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this issue, Greg Jusdanis looks at some of the taken-for-granteds of this debate, more particularly the implication of the concept the 'West', for Greek literary selfawareness. The discussion is relevant to medievalists, too, of course, for it touches indirectly upon another debate of a more historiographical nature, namely, the problems of ethnocentrism in history-writing which have been evident throughout the evolution of modern Byzantine Studies. Notions of what counts as 'Greek', as 'western', or what counts as evidence of 'Slav' influence, and so on, have played a significant role; and while the assumptions upon which much of the debate was originally founded are now for the most part regarded as either outmoded or irrelevant, it is important to observe how these valences work themselves out through a different set of contemporary discourses.","PeriodicalId":43258,"journal":{"name":"BYZANTINE AND MODERN GREEK STUDIES","volume":"11 1","pages":"i - ii"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/s0307013100001178","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46865988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
