Faculty and students from Aristotle University’s Laboratory of Narrative Research will present the four-part podcast that they have created documenting women’s lives in Soufli and invite their podcast participants to share stories with the public. For this final event, project members will create an oral history laboratory where attendees can record their own stories. They will then place QR codes throughout Soufli so that anyone can use their phone to listen to stories connected to particular locations.

]]> A clear mind comes with walking, believed Patrick Leigh Fermor, the writer whose near-mythical life and far-reaching explorations of Greece indelibly shaped the way the country is imagined and studied. To mark the beginning of their collaboration, the Institute for Ideas and Imagination (II&I), its public humanities arm SNFPHI, and the Benaki Museum are organizing a workshop exploring the topic of walking at Patrick and Joan Leigh Fermor’s house in Kardamili. This workshop will take place May 17-20 and bring together artists, curators, journalists, activists, and academics to reflect on their work and practice, worksop ideas for projects, and consider the place of walking in visual and ethnographic imagination, public history, and community engagement. II&I and SNFPHI Director Mark Mazower and Patrick Leigh Fermor’s biographer Artemis Cooper will open the workshop with a discussion, a recording of which will be available online.

Στις εκδηλώσεις αυτές, που θα λάβουν χώρα στην Αθήνα, στο Παρίσι και τη Νέα Υόρκη, θα παρουσιαστούν οι εξαιρετικές συνεργασίες της Πρωτοβουλίας με τους Έλληνες συνεργάτες της στα πεδία των ανθρωπιστικών σπουδών και των δημιουργικών τεχνών. Τα έργα αυτά επανεξετάζουν δημιουργικά την ελληνική ιστορία και ρίχνουν φως σε όχι και τόσο γνωστές στιγμές πολιτισμικών ανταλλαγών, συγκροτώντας κατ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο έναν στοχασμό για τη θέση του Πανεπιστημίου ως δημόσιου θεσμού. Στη θεματική τους περιλαμβάνεται ένα θέατρο σκιών, που αφηγείται εκ νέου τα γεγονότα της Μικρασιατικής Εκστρατείας (1919-1922), η σχέση των αρχαίων υποδομών με την κλιματική αλλαγή, οι ερωτικές γεωγραφίες, οι σύγχρονοι ελληνικοί χοροί στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, οι μνήμες του Δευτέρου Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου, η μετανάστευση των Αλβανών στην Ελλάδα και τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, οι Ελληνοαμερικανοί συγγραφείς ρομαντικών ιστοριών, η εξέλιξη της ελληνικής ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής και η πολιτική δράση εναντίον της Δικτατορίας του 1967 στην Πανεπιστημιούπολη του Κολούμπια.

The series—consisting of workshops, film screenings, interviews, online exhibitions, art installations, and a new shadow theater play—explores topics such as literary sites that challenge national boundaries, the history of communities living in the margins of Greek society, the military campaign in Asia Minor, Athenian erotic geographies, prison life, spaces that blur the boundaries between the home and the museum, and the place of the supernatural in Greek modernity.

]]> SNFPHI at Columbia University has launched its second call for proposals for projects that bring the ideas and insights of the humanities to life for the Greek public. The Initiative focuses on three main areas: History (e.g., preservation, oral history, archival practices, material culture); Creative Arts (e.g., performance, curation, literature); and Education (e.g., learning resources, teaching tools, educational games).

Projects are selected for a 14-month term. SNFPHI provides an initial $8000 grant for project development and implementation (e.g., remunerations, transportation, consumables, equipment) and organizes training for grantees at Columbia’s Institute for Ideas and Imagination in Paris. Grantees will also have access to additional funds for the public presentation of their projects (e.g. exhibitions, website development, etc.).

The online application is available on SNFPHI’s website here. Proposals can be submitted in Greek or English by January 31, 2022.

As part of the course, SNFPHI is running a translation lab to provide students with access to primary materials that are not currently available in English. The course’s syllabus, materials, and lesson plans will be posted on the SNFPHI website at the end of the semester. Read the course description here.
