The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Literature

The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Literature

Stratis Papaioannou

Oxford University Press Inc
2021
sidottu
This volume, the first ever of its kind in English, introduces and surveys Greek literature in Byzantium (330 - 1453 CE). In twenty-five chapters composed by leading specialists, The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Literature surveys the immense body of Greek literature produced from the fourth to the fifteenth century CE and advances a nuanced understanding of what "literature" was in Byzantium. This volume is structured in four sections. The first, "Materials, Norms, Codes," presents basic structures for understanding the history of Byzantine literature like language, manuscript book culture, theories of literature, and systems of textual memory. The second, "Forms," deals with the how Byzantine literature works: oral discourse and "text"; storytelling; rhetoric; re-writing; verse; and song. The third section ("Agents") focuses on the creators of Byzantine literature, both its producers and its recipients. The final section, entitled "Translation, Transmission, Edition," surveys the three main ways by which we access Byzantine Greek literature today: translations into other Byzantine languages during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages; Byzantine and post-Byzantine manuscripts; and modern printed editions. The volume concludes with an essay that offers a view of the recent past--as well as the likely future--of Byzantine literary studies.

Michael Psellos

Stratis Papaioannou

Cambridge University Press
2013
sidottu
This book explores Michael Psellos' place in the history of Greek rhetoric and self-representation and his impact on the development of Byzantine literature. Avoiding the modern dilemma that vacillates between Psellos the pompous rhetorician and Psellos the ingenious thinker, Professor Papaioannou unravels the often misunderstood Byzantine rhetoric, its rich discursive tradition and the social fabric of elite Constantinopolitan culture which rhetoric addressed. The book offers close readings of Psellos' personal letters, speeches, lectures and historiographical narratives, and analysis of other early Byzantine and classical models of authorship in Byzantine book culture, such as Gregory of Nazianzos, Synesios of Cyrene, Hermogenes and Plato. It also details Psellos' innovative attention to authorial creativity, performative mimesis and the aesthetics of the self. Simultaneously, it traces within Byzantium complex expressions of emotion and gender, notions of authorship and subjectivity, and theories of fictionality and literature, challenging the common fallacy that these are modern inventions.

"Extraordinary . . . A modern classic."--Los Angeles Times"Remarkable . . . A highly original and eloquent story."--Boston Globe "The effect is haunting . . . bitter and beautiful."--New York TimesSet in an impoverished Greece at the cruel time of the German occupation during WWII, When the Tree Sings is a boy's eye view of war's terrible ways. The young narrator's parents are dead, his paternal home destroyed; he lives with his aged grandmother. With barely enough to survive on, they struggle to avoid death--and we, the readers, are given the life of the village, filled with its vivid characters: Flisvos, the narrator's one-eyed playmate; Lekas the Informer; Uncle Iasson, who is in love with Lekas's red-haired mistress; Dando, who dies of fright; a mysterious figure known as the puppeteer. Mundane horrors mix with terrible cruelty and occasional, hysterical, levity. Our starving narrator is offered a chestnut from the soldiers' fire--if he can hold it hot from the coals in his bare hand; a motorcycle engine runs to disguise the sounds of prisoners being tortured; an explosion kills all the fish in the bay and they wash up soaked in kerosene and inedible; the boys spend an afternoon plotting how to hang Grandmother's only drawers from the enemy flagpole; a kitten named November is trained to fly in a basket tied to a paper kite. The wonder of this novel is how engaging the world is to the boy and, so, to readers who accompany him through the pages of this "modern classic." (Los Angeles Times).

Patricia's long journey, which began with The Route and the Fair, comes to an end here - a tragic and violent end in the city of Athens that is ravaged by the fires of the Civil War. January 1945, the last days of the Dekemvriana and, while the defeated guerrillas retreat towards the mountains of Attica, Patricia, this unique car with human characteristics and a woman's soul, will follow her owners in a last-ditch attempt to escape that will lead her to her utter destruction, coming under fire from the British airplanes. What will become of the holocaust? A silver Scarab, her amulet, a symbol of immortality and rebirth. The salvation of the car marks a new beginning for the long-suffering family, whose luck was inextricably intertwined with the vehicle's fate. A circle closes and a new one opens - the hard and arduous process of restoring the ruins left behind by the Occupation years and the Civil War in run-down post-war Greece.Being the second volume of the trilogy, the Scarab spans a short period of time - only three months - from October 1944 to January 1945 -, a period that was riddled with historic events that determined to a great extent the future of the country and its people, from the Liberation feast to the tragedy of the Dekemvriana Movement whose death toll was rather hefty.

Nationalismus, Militarismus und Männlichkeit im Nachkriegs-Zypern

Stratis Andreas Efthymiou

Springer International Publishing AG
2023
sidottu
In diesem Buch wird anhand empirischer Untersuchungen die Beziehung zwischen Nationalismus, Militarismus und Männlichkeit dargestellt. Die Ko-Konstitution zwischen diesen drei Faktoren ist anfällig für Veränderungen und behindert die Versöhnung, so der Autor. Am Beispiel von Zypern, einem Land im Konflikt mit der Türkei, zeigt Efthymiou, wie Nationalismus, Militarismus und Männlichkeit nach dem Krieg konstruiert und nach der Öffnung der Binnengrenzen und dem Beitritt zur Europäischen Union neu angepasst wurden. Nationalism, Militarism and Masculinity in Post-Conflict Cyprus (Nationalismus, Militarismus und Männlichkeit in Zypern nach dem Konflikt) stützt sich auf eine umfangreiche Feldforschung mit Soldaten und Offizieren in Kasernen, Politikern wie dem ehemaligen Präsidenten der Republik Zypern, Glafkos Clerides, Führern radikaler rechtsextremer Bewegungen und der griechisch-zyprischen Öffentlichkeit. Das Buch bietet unschätzbare Einblicke in die Anwendung von Nationalismus, Militarismus und Männlichkeit in der Regierungspolitik, einschließlich des zypriotischen Verteidigungsministeriums, und wird für Studierende und Wissenschaftler in den Bereichen Soziologie, Gender Studies, Friedensforschung, Sicherheitsstudien, Politik und internationale Beziehungen sowie für Regierungen und NRO von Interesse sein..

Smyrna, September 1922: A young Anatolian Greek is taken prisoner at the end of the Greek-Turkish war and marched off into the interior.

A classic tale of survival in a time of nationalist conflict, A Prisoner of War's Story is a beautifully crafted and pithy narrative. Affirming the common humanity of peoples, it earns its place among Europe's finest anti-war literature of the post-world war I period.

God's Being Towards Fellowship

God's Being Towards Fellowship

Justin Stratis

T. T.Clark Ltd
2019
sidottu
Justin Stratis explores the meaning of the biblical phrase ‘God is love’ through an examination of two quintessentially modern Protestant theologians: Friedrich Schleiermacher and Karl Barth. This book contains both a detailed engagement with Schleiermacher’s untranslated lectures on Dialektik and their relation to his more well-known work, as well as a new assessment of Barth’s doctrine of God which both respects his radical innovations and yet places him within the stream of traditional, catholic trinitarianism.After considering the complexities of theological predication, and comparing several classical and contemporary approaches to the implication of ‘love’, Stratis presents and ultimately commends the distinct approaches of Schleiermacher and Barth for their tendency to treat divine love as a ‘conclusion’ to the doctrine of God, rather than as a conceptual starting point. In contrast to many contemporary approaches, Stratis concludes with the suggestion that God’s love is best conceived as his being toward fellowship, rather than as the eminent instance of loving fellowship understood according to human experiences of love.

The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman

The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman

Niko Stratis

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS
2025
sidottu
A memoir-in-essays on transness, dad rock, and the music that saves us. When Wilco’s 2007 album Sky Blue Sky was infamously criticized as “dad rock,” Niko Stratis was a twenty-five-year-old closeted trans woman working in her dad’s glass shop in the Yukon Territory. As she sought escape from her hypermasculine environment, Stratis found an unlikely lifeline amid dad rock’s emotionally open and honest music. Listening to dad rock, Stratis could access worlds beyond her own and imagine a path forward. In taut, searing essays rendered in propulsive and unguarded prose, Stratis delves into the emotional core of bands like Wilco and The National, telling her story through the dad rock that accompanied her along the way. She found footing in Michael Stipe’s allusions to queer longing, Radiohead’s embrace of unknowability, and Bruce Springsteen’s very trans desire to “change my clothes my hair my face”-and she found in artists like Neko Case and Sharon Van Etten that the label transcends gender. A love letter to the music that saves us and a tribute to dads like Stratis’s own who embody the tenderness at the genre’s heart, The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman rejoices in music unafraid to bare its soul.

When I was young, I had the Idea for this book. I thought that it would be really helpful, if someone could try to answer some of the questions of life, I had when I was growing up. The book looks at the bigger picture, of what life is all about. For me it's about creating spectacular memories, with good friends, seeking truth, and following your Heart. It's also about Love, Honesty, Working Hard, and Inspiring others. Getting some early insight to some of life's big questions, may even help avoid some of life's biggest mistakes. It's about living the life you dreamed of when you were young. Some of the subjects addressed are about, Believing in, and Thinking for Yourself, Learning Everyday, Traveling and Exploring, because it's A Big World to see. Also, many ponder the question of whether there is God?... Is God real, for me it was never just a question of Faith.Live your Best Life, and leave a legacy Conquer the world, race across a continent, break records, shatter goals, make lifetime friends. Buy a boat, race a dirt bike, search for Gold. Climb a mountain, see every city, country, and continent you have ever dreamed of. Be humble, take the credit, pay it forward, and Never look back Just remember you only live once, Don't waste it
