Abstract:The controversy over Greek deficit statistics highlights three developments, characteristic not only of Greece, but of Europe as a whole: the intended depoliticization of certain issues or domains through the setting up of independent authorities, the transformation of national norms and arrangements that comes with European integration, and the role of transnational epistemic communities. An ongoing statistical dispute between Eurostat and the Greek authorities in the years before 2010, and changes in the governance of Greek statistics from that year onward as the controversy moved to the judicial arena, have revealed conflicting legitimacies and offered a testing ground for a whole series of devices and processes designed to monitor the independence of statistical institutes all over Europe.

Abstract:The existing scholarship on Adamantios Korais has rightly placed him at the center of the debates on the Greek Enlightenment and the Greek language controversy, yet there is a lacuna regarding Korais's preoccupation with the numerous other languages that he studied. Among them, Turkish presents a peculiar case. Some scholars have formed a certain image of Korais by correlating his anti-Ottoman stance with his linguistic program for the purification of the Greek language, defining that program primarily as the elimination of Turkish words from Greek. Other scholars have carefully refrained from associating Korais's views on politics and language, and yet they, too, have not adequately explained his position regarding the Turkish language. An unpublished and miscatalogued manuscript discovered among Korais's personal papers in Chios now enables a more accurate and complete vision of his conception of the Turkish language. This manuscript, which attests to Korais's studies of Turkish vocabulary, suggests that he approached Turkish in a neutral and professional fashion. The manuscript, particularly in view of the potential motivations for preparing it, also sheds light on Korais's general methods for studying languages other than Greek.

Abstract:Recent studies acknowledge modernist and even postmodernist elements in Nikos Kazantzakis's novels and thought, and Kazantzakis's Odyssey (1938), conventionally regarded as an old-fashioned nineteenth-century poem, can instead be viewed as a (post)modernist work. Aspects of Kazantzakis's Odyssey have parallels in the works of modernist writers such as Joyce, Pound, Mann, and Seferis, and the Nietzschean influences on the poem may be seen as the source of the author's later postmodernism. Thus, it may be appropriate to redefine the place of the Odyssey within Kazantzakis's oeuvre. Doing so raises broader questions, such as that of the definitions of literary modernism and postmodernism beyond the scope of modern Greek literary studies.

Abstract:The multiracial world of Drifting Cities is constructed through frequent language transfers. The various strategies used to make languages audible or visible in the trilogy (including narrative comments, quotations in different languages, and transliteration) highlight the themes explored in the novels: the refugees' experience of displacement, the culture of colonization, and the resistance to imperial power. Throughout the work, one senses a process of translation that is secretly at work. The specific modes of translation operating in the narrative suggest two opposing motifs: of confusion (the Tower of Babel metaphor) and of the attempt to override linguistic and cultural barriers. While the former is accented by the language of politics, the latter is introduced through the language of poetry, which, as incorporated into the narrative, recalls Benjamin's idea of translation as linguistic complementation. Robbie's epigram in The Bat literalizes the critic's notion of translation as the afterlife of a work.

Abstract:In response to the boom of piracy during the Greek War of Independence, Western powers sent warships to the Aegean to protect their commercial interests. Only limited attention has hitherto been given to these operations, including those by the US Mediterranean Squadron which represent "the first extensive experience of Greece by a large number of Americans." My study examines this experience beyond the traditional, albeit reductive, context of philhellenism and mishellenism. It illuminates tactical operations, political deliberations and cultural interests of the American marines in the Aegean by focusing on a violent standoff on Mykonos in 1827. The standoff is found to have been triggered by activities of the pirate Mermelechas, a previously obscure figure who is lately celebrated on the island. I identify hitherto unknown literary and artistic portraits of the pirate in the US, and I explain the American interest in him in the light of the "Greek fervor" and the passion for pirate stories which swept the country at the time. More broadly, my study exposes the role of the Mediterranean Squadron in carrying textual and visual documentation of the revolutionary Greeks across the Atlantic.
