About the Event

Join Dr. Jarosław Suchoples, a distinguished historian and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, for a lecture that delves into a lesser-known aspect of Finnish history. In 1941, Finland became an ally of the Third Reich, despite the fact that Nazi ideology was not widely embraced in the country. The situation of Jews living in Finland differed from that in most other European Axis nations. While anti-Semitism was not entirely absent, Jews in Finland were not personally endangered, and there was no anti-Semitic legislation in place. It’s noteworthy that the number of Jews in Finland, although small (2200), reached its peak during wartime.

Nevertheless, Finnish Jews lived in the shadow of the Holocaust. Starting in 1942, news about the fate of Jews in territories occupied by Germany began reaching Finland via Sweden. Consequently, the Jewish community in Finland was well aware of the destruction of European Jewry. After the war, many Finnish Jews claimed they had no knowledge of what had happened to their brethren in Nazi-occupied territories, raising intriguing questions about this collective amnesia. Documented records reveal that in the summer of 1944, plans were outlined for the potential evacuation of Finnish Jews to Sweden if Germany were to occupy Finland. Leaders of Jewish communities on both sides of the border discussed the terms of such action.

Bio of the Speaker

Jarosław Suchoples received his MA from the University of Gdańsk, Poland, in 1993. He holds a PhD in History from the University of Helsinki (2000). In 2000-2001, he was an Analyst of the Polish Institute of International Affairs in Warsaw, Poland. From 2001 to 2002, he was a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Political Science of the University of California, Berkeley. Between 2003 and 2013, he lectured at the Willy Brandt Centre for German and European Studies in Wrocław, Poland, the Nordeuropa-Institut of Humboldt University in Berlin and Free University Berlin, Germany, and at the universities in Olsztyn and Szczecin in Poland. In 2013-2015, he was an Associate Professor at the Institute of Malaysian and International Affairs (IKMAS) of the National University of Malaysia (UKM). In 2017, he returned to Finland, this time as Ambassador of Poland. From 2019, Dr. Suchoples is a Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Music, Art and Culture Studies of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. He is involved in a variety of projects on the History and Memory of World War I, World War II and the Cold War.

About the event

Have you ever felt that you are not good enough? That, somehow, no matter what you do, others are better than you? Do you have trouble recognizing any of your efforts or achievements, and always find yourself striving for more? You are not alone. Perfectionism makes us chase the unattainable, leaving us stagnant and disappointed. Although setting lofty goals and expectations can act as motivational driving forces, if done recklessly, it can lead to emotional distress, psychosomatic symptoms, and poorer interpersonal relationships. Together, we will examine this moving target called “perfectionism”.  

Why does it occur? 
How can we recognize it? What are its effects?
How can we mitigate them?
These, and many more, will be addressed in our awareness-raising event.
 

The purpose of this online event is to inform ACG students, faculty, and staff about the meaning and repercussions of perfectionism.  

Q & A session will follow.

About the lecture

In 1948 Israel declared its independence and was accepted as a member of the United Nations in 1949. However, the Arab neighbors would not recognize Israel’s existence. The Suez Crisis in 1956, the Six Day War in 1967 and the Yom Kippur War in 1973 were the result. In 1978 the Camp David Accords and the Egypt–Israel peace treaty (1979) ended the conflict for the time being. However, Israel’s existence continues to be threatened despite the signing of the Abraham Accords between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain in 2020. So, the lecture will focus on the national Security challenges Israel is facing now amid a changing global and regional balance of force.

About the Event

In 2008 the movie Valkyrie (starring Tom Cruise) was released, a movie about Stauffenberg’s attempt to kill Hitler in July 1944. Although this particular act of German resistance was very well known in Germany, it was new to most of the audience in the United States. Certainly, the masses in Germany supported Hitler and the Nazis until the bitter end. However, there were thousands of Germans who did not.

The problem lays in the definition of resistance which was limited to kill Hitler and, thus, end Nazi rule in Germany. However, this definition ignores the fact that thousands of Germans were arrested or executed for their actions which according to the Nazis were illegal such as printing and distributing anti-Nazi leaflets, hiding and saving Jewish people, listening to the BBC, writing V-signs at walls, defying Nazi ideology in public, telling jokes and so forth. The lecture is dedicated to honor these people for their bravery and to keep them in our memory. They deserve their place in history as they clearly showed that everyone who lives in a dictatorship can do something about it.

Deadline: 30 June 2023

About the bootcamp

The Digital Humanities bootcamp, promises to be a comprehensive training program, offering masterclasses and interactive seminars, for early career and permanent/non-permanent academic staff interested in the theory and practice of Digital Humanities.

The program draws on expertise from across The American College of Greece and national and international collaborators. Participants will gain insights into the possibilities of computer science-based research methods in the Digital Humanities, explore digital practices and methods that are becoming more widespread in the social sciences and humanities, and gain hands-on experience with tools and techniques.

The bootcamp aims to enhance the teaching skills of staff, foster collaborations across disciplines, and lead to projects that extend beyond the classroom and make a public impact. By showing the value of the study of Humanities and the potential of digital projects to engage and inform the wider public, the program seeks to contribute to the development of innovative research and teaching practices. The emergence of new methods and tools that allow us to gain and compute more knowledge integrating various data sources is challenging traditional research in the social sciences and humanities. At the same time, our human experiences and our ways of learning and knowing are increasingly mediated by technology. The Digital Humanities boot camp promises to offer participants the opportunity to grapple with these challenges and explore the theoretical bases and implications of digital research methods.

This will be the first Digital Humanities bootcamp aimed at permanent and non-permanent University faculty members in Greece. Training teaching staff in Digital Humanities is crucial for fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and encouraging innovative research and teaching practices. By attending the boot camp, teaching/research staff will be able to enhance their knowledge of digital research methods, gain practical experience with tools and techniques, and explore the potential of digital projects to engage and inform the wider public. This knowledge and experience can be applied in the classroom, leading to enhanced teaching, and learning outcomes for students.

Moreover, training teaching staff in Digital Humanities can lead to the development of interdisciplinary collaborations across departments and faculties. These collaborations can lead to the creation of new research projects and teaching programs that extend beyond the traditional boundaries of individual disciplines. Overall, training teaching staff in Digital Humanities is an essential step in fostering innovation and advancing research and teaching practices. The Digital Humanities boot camp offered by The American College of Greece is an excellent opportunity for teaching staff to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to engage with Digital Humanities and contribute to the development of innovative research and teaching practices.

Speakers’ Bios

Ignacio Aguiló is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Latin American Cultural Studies and the Co-Director of the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of Manchester. His research examines the intersection of race and cultural production in contemporary Latin America. His monograph, “The Darkening Nation” (2018), explores the connections between the 2001 financial meltdown in Argentina and the crisis of narratives of whiteness and national belonging. He is also the co-editor of “Chile desde los estudios culturales” (2019) and “Cultures of Anti-Racism in Latin America and the Caribbean” (2019). Between Jan 2020 and May 2023, he was a co-investigator in Cultures of Anti-Racism in Latin America (CARLA), a project awarded a £1 million grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK) that explored how artists in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia address racial diversity in their work and how they use their art to challenge racism. From August 2023, he is the Principal Investigator (PI) in the project “Indigenous Youth Subcultures and New Media in Latin America”, which was awarded £250,000 from the AHRC to study how young Mapuche and Kichwa creators and consumers structure particular identities around music, visual culture, fashion, among others.

Máirín MacCarron is Lecturer in Digital Humanities at University College Cork, having previously held posts in the Departments of History at the University of Galway and the University of Sheffield.
Her research interests include Time, Chronology and the writing of History; Women in the Middle Ages; and Digital approaches to studying the past. Her book Bede and Time: Computus, Theology and History in the Early Medieval World (London and New York: Routledge, 2020) won the Irish Historical Research Prize 2021, and she is Principal Investigator of Time for Women? Gender, Chronology and Historiography before AD 900 (GENCHRON), a major interdisciplinary research project funded by the Irish Research Council.

Thomas Smits is a historian of nineteenth- and twentieth-century visual (news) culture. Fascinated by the increasingly visual nature of modern societies, he pioneered the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to analyse large collections of historical images. Convinced of the benefits of interdisciplinary exchange, he used critical insights from the humanities to further the development of culturally-responsive AI. He works as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Antwerp.

 

Kalliopi Zervanou is a computational linguist and currently an Assistant Professor in Leiden University.

She received her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Manchester, UK, and has worked as a Lecturer in Information Systems at Utrecht University and Eindhoven University of Technology and as a postdoctoral researcher at the Universities of Utrecht, Nijmegen, Tilburg and the Technical University of Crete. She was a visiting researcher at the UK National Centre for Text Mining (NaCTeM) in 2010 and the University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering, USA in 2014.

Since 2009, she has been actively involved in digital humanities in a series of projects and as a leading member of the computational linguistics digital humanities community, both as programme chair of the LaTeCH workshop series, as well as founding member of the respective ACL Special Interest Group, SIGHUM, which she also served as elected secretary for three consecutive terms, since 2013.

About the event

Did you know that 1/3 of all food globally goes to waste?
Wasting food also means wasting the water used to produce the food and the land on which the food has been produced (28% of the world’s agricultural land), while 9.9% of the human population is undernourished.
Due to food wastage billions of tons of CO₂ emissions are released into Earth’s atmosphere, contributing greatly to climate change (fao.org).
According to UN’s Food Waste Index Report 2021, Greek people waste on average 142 kg of food annually, one of the highest in the world.

In celebration of World Food Safety Day, the SDG Student Hub AUEB, the ACG UNSDGs Student Hub, and the Office of Public Affairs are coming together to educate their members and the broader community on the elimination of food waste in Greece.

Esteemed professionals from all sectors are coming together to share with the audience and the students from both institutions their views on the issue and how they contribute to the elimination of food waste.  The well-known Executive Chef Dimitris Skarmoutsos will give us tips on making more sustainable choices when buying food items and also on home consumption.

Our panelists will comment on the findings of the Panhellenic study on the perceptions of the Greeks on food waste and food labelling administered by the ACG Center of Food, Tourism and Leisure.

The event is in the context of the ACG’s raising-awareness campaign “Reduce Your FOODprint!”. The campaign aims at raising awareness about this critical issue and educating our community on best practices on how to save food.

About the event

Name of the speaker: Kate Wilcox

Information for the speaker: Kate M. Wilcox is an Edinburgh-based museum professional who creates supportive museum experiences that encourage inquiry, reflection, and critical thinking.

Commissioned by the Scotland + Venice consortium to produce a multimedia installation for the 59th International Art Exhibition, artist-curator Alberta Whittle employs her signature wayward curatorial approach in the creation of deep dive (pause): uncoiling memory, which is envisioned as a ‘space built on black love, care, queerness, community and healing.’ This presentation begins by providing context as to why wayward curation is necessary to combat the exclusionary mandates of hegemonic institutions and acknowledges the political interests of the installation’s commissioner. This is followed by an analysis of how modes of resistance are conceptualized within the critical theories Whittle has identified as influential to her practice. Wayward curation is further deconstructed with a final assessment of how the content, design, and production of the installation resists racist, patriarchal, and heteronormative paradigms embedded within the art world. Central to this is Whittle’s network of accomplices – composed of institutions, curators, performers, technicians, and invigilators – who forge a mutually supportive mode of operating through an additive production process. Also worth examination is the continuing evolution of this exhibition as it changes galleries, institutions, and audiences.

About the exhibition

“A Scattering of Salts”
Curated by Panos Giannikopoulos

 The exhibition “A Scattering of Salts”, opening on May 26, 2023, presents works of painting, sculpture, video, performance, and dance at Deree – The American College of Greece. It brings the art collection of The American College of Greece into dialogue with contemporary artists from Greece and abroad.

The narrative thread traversing the exhibition stems from a photograph which is part of the art collection. The acclaimed American Poet James Merrill looks at the life mask of fellow poet Kimon Friar. Multiple references emerge from the petrified gaze. Projections of desire, the form of the Medusa, citations and comparisons, sedimentation, the nexus of life and death.

Merrill’s last poetry collection[1] of the same name lends the exhibition its title, imposing its underlying leitmotifs. The scattering of salts is a poetic invocation, binding and situating at the same time, a magic circle, a spell. The scattering of salts serves as a metaphor for the scattering of memories and the accumulation of time. Merrill’s séance is proposed in “A Scattering of Salts” as an exhibition-making tool. The occult, spiritual communications the poet anecdotally held are playfully converted into a way of engaging with art history and reconstructing historical works. These uncanny conversations become a source of both poetic and spatial inspiration.

The invocation of magic helps us become aware of our preexisting metaphysical assumptions. As the range of the possible keeps shrinking, contemporary rituals try to move beyond prescribed rules and reach out to what cannot be captured in descriptive language. They reveal the relationship between artistic practice and the transcendental through the counter reflection of the “technical”[2]. Historical works surface alongside contemporary artists and erratic dance performances and occupy unexpected spaces, while lost works are re-animated or developed further, creating scattered connections.

Privileging scattering over organization, dispersion rather than systematic arrangement, the exhibition presents fragments of imagination dissolving into something else. Salts become a lens through which to contemplate the present and scattering emerges as a methodology, thus creating the illusion of symmetrical, kaleidoscopic patterns.
Minerals and parts of our tissues facilitate the transmission of nerve impulses across the human body, crystallizing into precious materials, a process of becoming and unbecoming—prisms in a contingent flux which enable us to contemplate the past and the future.

Salts crystallize and dissolve; layers of calcium carbonate accrete to form a pearl, which in time is dropped back into the sea; molecules under heat and pressure are rearranged to form gemstones, and the same forces decrystallize marble to chalk[3].

Participating artists: Yannis Bouteas, James Bridle, Eleni Christodoulou, Jimmie Durham, Nicole Economides, Kimon Friar, Evangelia Fouseki, Ioanna Gouma, Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Gkikas, Rowena Hughes, Theo Hios, Astrid Kokka, Bety Krňanská, Jack Mcconville, Michael Michaelides, Irini Miga, Raffaela Naldi Rossano, Kosmas Nikolaou, Pavlos Nikolakopoulos, Aemilia Papaphilippou, Malvina Panagiotidi, Rallou Panagiotou, Cezary Poniatowski, Chrysanne Stathacos, Takis, Lina Zedig

Bio
Christine Tokatlian
Concert Pianist
Assistant Professor of Music & Music Performance, FRSFPA @Deree-ACG

Christine Tokatlian, is a concert pianist praised for her academic distinctions and passionate performance. In 2008 she was awarded the honorary ‘Eleni Myconiou’ prize for artistic excellence by the Athens Academy. At the age of six Christine was already taking piano lessons at the National Conservatory of Greece which led to a Soloist’s diploma with a grade of Excellence by unanimous vote and First Prize, under the supervision of Manolis Kokalis. Studying under renowned pianists including Dimitris Toufexis, Yu Chun Yee and Bernard Roberts, between 1996 and 1999, Christine receives her Bachelor of Arts in Music from Deree-The American College of Greece, and post-graduate diplomas in Advanced Piano Performance from the Royal College of Music in London (PGDip, PGAdvDip).

Performing around Greece, the United Kingdom, Italy, Lebanon, Germany and Armenia alongside distinguished artists including the Komitas Quartet, Christine’s recitals include works by classical, romantic and contemporary composers, as well as new-experimental music all performed with her distinct temperament, undeniably fueled by her Armenian descent. And with the same passionate spirit she premiered Khatchaturian’s Piano Concerto with the Thessaloniki State Orchestra in the Thessaloniki Concert Hall in 2010.

Christine also communicates her talent through teaching as she is currently a professor of music at Deree – The American College of Greece and a piano professor at the Meandrio Conservatory.

She has recorded with various ensembles and artists and in a range of musical styles particularly interested in new music.

Her PhD research at Chichester University, UK, focuses on contemporary Armenian piano music and its impact on the re(de)construction of Armenian musical identity. Her research has been presented in international conferences in Athens, London, Istanbul, Berlin and Latvia.

Christine serves as a jury member in national competitions and gives piano masterclasses in Greece and abroad. Her students have been awarded several prizes and distinctions in international piano competitions.

Armenian Piano Images, Christine’s first personal recording with works of contemporary Armenian composers, some of which are world premieres, serves as a window for her audience to see into her dream of magical musical performance.

15.15-15.45

Vasileios Gavvaris: Struggle and Glory, Piano Recital

A musical journey featuring compositions distant in time, connected by shared values. A common heroic journey from darkness to light, from struggle to glory, in search of a heroic figure.

Break

Stathis Chomatsas: Piano Recital

A recital inspired by nature, Gothic art and the concepts of time and perception. Works from Italian and French Baroque will be heard, leading to intense and lyrical Russian romanticism, and ending in the special ‘dark’ color of the 21st century.

 

18.10-18.40

Stathis Chomatsas & Vrez Khachaturian: 2 Mancunians in Athens, Piano Duo

A music journey in 19th century Paris, where the Macabre and the mystery of death fascinate the very human mind like a quest in the Universe, as the Planets project their own majesty!

20.15-21.15

Christine Tokatlian & Spyros Souladakis: Classical + 200, Piano Duo

Is there a secret mystery hidden in the number 200? In 1781 Mozart submits his score for the Sonata…and in 1981 a polystylistic suite ridicules the stupidity of Nikolai Gogol’s characters in a circumstance of tragic parody. Distinct quotations of popular motives of the musical canon of 200 + years…from the Baroque to post-Romanticism they find their way and paradoxically merge in the avant-garde.

 

21.30-22.20

Dimitri Toufexis, Romantics and more, Piano Recital

Dimitri Toufexis returns at Deree. As the Mentor of all of us, he travels us beyond Romanticism. We will enjoy him in a concert that will bring the pianistic marathon to its end.

Deree. #Futureproof

When:

Opening: Friday, April 28 18:00-21:00

Duration: April 29-May 11

Opening hours: Tuesday-Friday 15:00-18:00 Saturday 12:00-16:00

Where: ACG Gallery, Deree – The American College of Greece, 6 Gravias Street, 15342, Aghia Paraskevi, Athens

Organized by: Frances Rich School of Fine and Performing Arts

About the exhibition

The Space Between is an exhibition featuring the works of graduating Visual Arts students from Τhe American College of Greece Elena Gazi and Eden Scroggins. It is co-curated by students from the Art History program, Athina Lasithiotaki and Katerina Milesi. The exhibition also features objects and household items from the artist Frances Rich, courtesy of the Frances L. Rich Estate.

The exhibition places the viewer in the liminal space between the two artists’ immersive installation spaces. Informed both by science fiction and the culture and practice of textiles, Scroggins’ Pocket Dimension, presents an alternative dimension with brightly colored, handcrafted, alien forms made of woven fabric and wire that invade and disrupt the planes of her installation. The work emphasizes the hidden cracks between materials, practical methodologies, and uncanny emotional experience. Gazi’s Ark of the Forgotten is a sanctuary of abandoned objects, toys, fabrics, and bones that have been recovered, collected, and sculpted into an altar. In contrast with museum tactics, the Ark of the Forgotten lets these objects garden their own narratives and personal mythologies.

Together, childhood memories invade cosmic worlds, while [household] furniture, the relics from a previous artist’s life, is scattered in the space between. The viewer is called into a liminal space, to participate in a tribute to nostalgic recollections and speculative futures. The exhibition explores the distance between here and there, acknowledging the presence of the void.

Open to all, with free admission

Join us for a week of mindfulness and relaxation during the Spring semester final exam period, with herbal teas, puzzles, coloring pages and a calm positive environment to help you relax.

As a special treat, mindfulness, mediation and wellbeing sessions will take place, lead by ACG community members.

27th Kimon Friar Lecture
Child Adoption: Greek Myth, Literature, and Reality

 

By Gonda Van Steen
Koraes Chair of Modern Greek and Byzantine History, Language and Literature, Department of Classics at King’s College London

When: Tuesday, April 25, 2023 | 18:30
Where: ACG Events Hall, The American College of Greece,
6 Gravias Street, Aghia Paraskevi-Athens, Greece
(Parking upon availability)

Organized by: The American College of Greece & the Attica Tradition Foundation

The event is free and open to the public, on a first-come, first-served basis. Reception to follow

 

About the event

Gonda Van Steen’s research on children’s adoptions from Greece to the USA in the 1950s and 1960s leads her to look at texts from ancient and modern Greek literature with fresh eyes. In this lecture, she will cover topics from 5^th century BCE Greek tragedy, and specifically Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus (ca. 430 BCE). She will also explore how the modern field of adoption studies and its terminology may help us to reconceptualize the famous story written by Georgios Vizyinos, Τὸ ἁμάρτημα τῆς μητρός μου, My Mother’s Sin.

 

About the speaker

Gonda Van Steen earned a BA and MA degree in Classics in her native Belgium and a PhD degree in Classics and Hellenic Studies from Princeton University. Her research interests include Greek language and literature through Byzantine and Modern Greek, Western travelers to Greece and the Ottoman Empire, 19^th and 20^th century receptions of the classics and especially of ancient theater, and modern Greek intellectual and social history. Van Steen holds the position of Koraes Chair of Modern Greek and Byzantine History, Language and Literature in the Centre for Hellenic Studies and the Department of Classics at King’s College London. She is the first woman to hold the Koraes Chair.

Van Steen is the author of the following books: Venom in Verse: Aristophanes in Modern Greece, published by Princeton University Press in 2000 and was awarded the John D. Criticos Prize from the London Hellenic Society; Liberating Hellenism from the Ottoman Empire, (2010); Theatre of the Condemned: Classical Tragedy on Greek Prison Islands (OUP, 2011); Stage of Emergency: Theater and Public Performance under the Greek Military Dictatorship of 1967-1974 (OUP, 2015) and Adoption, Memory and Cold War Greece: Kid pro quo? (University of Michigan Press, 2019). The latter appeared also in Greek translation as Ζητούνται παιδιά από την Ελλάδα: Υιοθεσίες στην Αμερική του Ψυχρού Πολέμου (Athens: Potamos, 2021). This book won the 2019 Book Prize of the European Society of Modern Greek Studies. Van Steen is also preparing the annotated edition of a postwar and Civil War memoir written by an American social worker active in relief services in northern Greece: The Battle for Bodies, Hearts, and Minds in Postwar Greece: Social Worker Charles Schermerhorn in Thessaloniki, 1946-1951 (Routledge, 2023). Van Steen has further published articles on ancient Greek and late antique literature, on postwar Greek feminism, and on Cavafy. Her latest research project is a long-term study of the organized mass adoptions of Greek children to the USA (and to the Netherlands) in the first fifteen years following the end of the Greek Civil War (1950-mid 1960s).
