SUMMARY:Translation and the Magnitude of Historical Figures: Michalis Ganas and Translation
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion\nPanel 2: Translation and the Magnitude of Historical Figures: Michalis Ganas and Translation\nCo-hosted with Aiora Press in Athens \nChair: David Ricks\nPanel: John Stathatos\, Vassilis Letsios\, Joshua Barley \nChair: David Ricks \nUnusually among modern Greek poets Michalis Ganas (1944-2024) was not a translator. Yet his poems have had a second life in many languages\, English among them\, and he also produced adaptations of the Iliad and the Odyssey for young readers. This panel brings together three writers with a deep knowledge of Ganas’ work and of the practice of literary translation to commemorate this major poet. \nJohn Stathatos: ‘Translating Michalis Ganas’ \nIt was in 1976 that I started reading and translating the then new young Greek poets\, having been pointed in their direction by\, amongst others\, Takis Sinopoulos. That winter I published in a couple of small British magazines translations of poems by Yannis Kontos and others. Almost the last of the Generation of 1970 whose work I translated was Michalis Ganas\, whom I met in the  Dodoni bookshop where he was working; it must have been well before spring 1981\, as that is the date of the earliest letter I have from him. My translations of four of his poems in Labrys no. 9 in November 1983 were among the first to appear in English versions. Later that year he sent me the typescript of his unpublished poem sequence Glass Yannena\, which I also translated. I remember him with deep affection for the kindness and forthrightness of his character\, and for the brilliant simplicity and empathy of his poetry. \nJohn Stathatos is a writer\, translator\, and photographer. Born in Athens in 1947\, he was based in London between 1969 and 2002\, taking a degree in philosophy and political science at the LSE. Subsequently he became a freelance foreign correspondent\, translator and independent publisher\, bringing many new Greek poets to the attention of an English-speaking audience\, including Nasos Vayenas\, Yannis Kontos\, Michalis Ganas and\, from an earlier generation\, Takis Sinopoulos and Miltos Sachtouris. He later became increasingly involved with photography both as practitioner and as critic and curator. Since 2002 he has been based on Kythera. Recent publications include Image & Icon: The New Greek Photography (1997); A Vindication of Tlön: Photography & the Fantastic (2001); Fotofraktis: The Photographs of Andreas Embirikos (2004); The Book of Lost Cities (2006); and airs\, waters\, places (2009). See www.stathatos.net for a selection of his photography and writing in English and Greek. \nVassilis Letsios: ‘Michalis Ganas and Homer: Rewriting the Odyssey (2016) and the Iliad (2019)’ \nIn his late work\, Ganas blends prose and verse to reimagine Homer’s epics\, drawing on folk song\, fellow poets\, and celebrated translators. His Odyssey and Iliad confront war’s trauma\, exile\, homeland\, and gender\, while showcasing the distinctive voice of his mature poetics. \nVassilis Letsios is Associate Professor of Modern Greek Literature and Literary Translation into Greek at the Department of Foreign Languages\, Translation and Interpreting\, at the Ionian University. He holds an MA in Modern Greek Studies (1997) and a PhD in Modern Greek Literature (2003) from King’s College London. He is the director of the Laboratory ‘Language\, History\, and Culture in the Ionian Region’. \nJoshua Barley: ‘Translating Ganas in Exile’ \nJoshua Barley is working on a translation of Ganas’ short memoir Stepmotherland (Μητριά Πατρίδα\, 1981)\, which relates the poet’s family’s experience of exile following the Greek Civil War. He will discuss some of the challenges involved in translating this dense and harrowing text. \nJoshua Barley (https://www.joshuabarley.com/) is a translator from Modern Greek. His widely acclaimed publications include the bilingual editions Greek Folk Songs (Aiora Press 2022) and (with David Connolly) A Greek Ballad: Selected Poems of Michalis Ganas (Yale UP 2019). His tribute to Michalis Ganas recently appeared in Argo (spring-summer 2025). \nOnline panel discussion \n17:00 UK / 19:00 Greece (1.15’) \nTo attend online via Zoom webinar\, register here

SUMMARY:Translation and the Magnitude of Historical Figures: Homer\, Lorca and Seferis
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion\nPanel 1: Translation and the Magnitude of Historical Figures: Homer\, Lorca and Seferis\nCo-hosted with the Cyprus High Commission in London  \nChair: Gonda Van Steen\nPanel: Dimitra Kotoula\, Andry Christofidou-Antoniadou\, Jennifer Kellogg\, Afroditi Athanasopoulou \nDimitra Kotoula: ‘The Smile of Astyanax: Working with Homer’ \nMy contribution to this workshop consists of posing questions\, rather than providing answers. How does one break\, as a creator\, the barrier\, the skin of a text’s language in order to rework it creatively? I will discuss my experience with Homer’s Iliad. The main section of my poetry collection\, The Smile of Astyanax\, revisits central episodes from the Iliad. For a case study\, I will analyse my reception of one of these comparatively in Homer\, Louise Glück’s The Triumph of Achilles (1985)\, and Nourri al Jarrah’s No War at Troy (2020). The open vulnerability of a text in translation will be tested. How does a poet work with authors who loom large in history and literature? There is no shortcut to poetry. And\, as it seems\, in their struggle with the giants\, poets feel equally blessed and cursed. \nDimitra Kotoula is the author of four poetry collections. She is the recipient of the prestigious Chartis prize. Her poems have been translated into thirteen languages. Her collection of selected poems\, The Slow Horizon that Breathes (translated by Maria Nazos with a preface by A. E. Stallings) was longlisted for the Runciman Award. She was the first to consistently translate Louise Glück’s poems into Greek\, as well as those of Jorie Graham and Sharon Olds. She currently works in Athens as an art historian/ archaeologist. \nAndry Christofidou-Antoniadou: ‘Challenges and Risks whilst Researching and Translating Federico Garcia Lorca’ \nThe life and work of a literary figure is a real challenge for a researcher\, which is even greater in the case of Federico Garcia Lorca\, who has become a historic figure due to his assassination during the Spanish Civil War. A veil of mystery\, myth\, controversy\, and silence surrounded his death for 39 years. Lorca’s works\, although performed and read internationally\, were banned in Spain until Franco’s death in 1975. The Franco regime tried to erase all traces of his existence. It was only in 2007 that the Spanish Congress of Deputies approved the Law of Historical Memory\, which aims to ‘recognize the rights and establish measures in favour of those who suffered persecution or violence during the Civil War and the dictatorship’. Researching and translating Lorca has posed distinctive challenges. I will discuss how I worked on my book Federico Garcia Lorca in Three Dimensions under these difficult circumstances. I highlight the influences of Lorca’s life on his works and the importance of understanding the context of a writer before translating. \nAndry Christofidou-Antoniadou studied French and Spanish at the University of London and Educational Psychology and Education at the Sorbonne. She also studied at the Universities of Zaragoza\, Nice\, Montpellier\, and at the Pedagogical Academy in Erfurt. She retired from the position of Principal of Secondary Education in Cyprus. In addition to conducting research\, she writes poetry\, short stories\, plays\, novels\, and essays. Her works have been translated into many languages. Her research on Lorca has been archived at the Lorca Centre of Studies and the Lorca Foundation in Spain. Her research on Cervantes has been archived at Cervantes Museums in Spain. She has collaborated with the Cyprus National Theatre\, the National Theatre of Northern Greece and other theatre companies staging Lorca’s works. She has published 16 books and translated four literary books. She has been awarded many literary prizes. In 2019\, she founded the Ad Litteram Cultural Development Centre in Limassol\, which she is still directing. She serves as president of CIESART CHIPRE (International Chamber of Writers and Artists) and as Ambassador of Culture of the Deputy Ministry of Culture of Cyprus. \n Jennifer Kellogg: ‘Translating Seferis in Character: Book of Exercises II in English’ \nTranslating Book of Exercises II into English posed the double challenge of retranslating a voice we all know so well and integrating material that brought out unfamiliar sides of the poet. In this brief talk\, I will share some of the challenges I faced in bringing together the poet’s sombreness\, sarcasm\, and satire. \nJennifer R. Kellogg holds a PhD in Modern Languages and Literatures from the ULB in Belgium and is a literary translator from Modern Greek. Her work has appeared in the Kenyon Review\, AGNI\, and Plume\, as well as in other journals. Book of Exercises II is her first full-length translation from the Modern Greek and was published by World Poetry Books in 2024. \nAfroditi Athanasopoulou: ‘The Politics of a Translation: Seferis and Warner’s Collaboration in Logbook III’ \nAbstract: I discuss the interplay between literature and politics by investigating Seferis’ interaction with the ‘friends of the other war’ in the context of post-war Anglo-Greek relations and the Cyprus question\, which Seferis witnessed firsthand during his visits to the island (1953–1955) and diplomatic tenure in London (1957–1962). I focus on the so-called ‘Cypriot’ poetic collection of 1955\, later renamed Logbook III\, and the poet’s collaboration with his close friend Rex Warner in translating selected poems for inclusion in the 1960 edition\, titled George Seferis\, Poems (London). I emphasize the politics of this edition\, which made Seferis’ work\, notably the ‘Cypriot’ collection\, accessible to the international community\, culminating in his 1963 Nobel Prize in Literature. \nAfroditi Athanasopoulou is Associate Professor of Modern Greek Studies at the University of Cyprus. Her research interests include Modern Greek Literature of the 19th and 20th centuries\, especially Dionysios Solomos and Nikos Kazantzakis\, as well as prosody and metrical analysis\, the teaching of literature and the relations between literature and history. She also is interested in narratology and literary topoi. She has published the monograph History and Literature in Dialogue (Epikentro\, 2016)\, and numerous articles in journals and collective volumes on authors and topics of Modern Greek Literature. She has also gained extensive experience in editing volumes\, serving as a translator (from Italian) and/or proofreader of scholarly editions with significant impact in the field of Modern Greek Studies\, published by prominent Greek publishers on the work of Kornaros\, Solomos\, Kalvos\, Sikelianos\, Cavafy\, and others. \nOnline panel discussion \n17:00 UK / 19:00 Greece (1.15’) \nTo attend online via Zoom webinar\, register here

SUMMARY:Everyday Life Under Dictatorship in Southern Europe: Intimacy\, Sociality\, and Loneliness
DESCRIPTION:image: Hotel Formentor\, Mallorca by bemhuesca\, used under CC BY SA 2.0 \n  \nThe Centre for the Study of Modern and Contemporary History in conjunction with The British School at Athens\nEveryday Life Under Dictatorship in Southern Europe: Intimacy\, Sociality\, and Loneliness\nSpeakers: Prof Kate Ferris (University of St Andrews)\, Dr Huw Halstead (University of Edinburgh)\, and Dr Yannick Lengkeek (University of Birmingham) \nRespondent: Dr Daniel Knight (University of St Andrews) \nChaired by: Dr Michalis Sotiropoulos (University of Edinburgh) \nAbstract: When people think of dictatorship\, they often conjure an image of an all-powerful leader ruling over a populace alternately roused in nationalist fervour or cowed in fearful subservience. Whilst this doubtless captures crucial aspects of the dictatorial experience\, it portrays those who lived through dictatorship as principally passive historical actors\, carried along by the charismatic currents of those in power. In this seminar\, three scholars who work in the field of everyday life history (or Alltagsgeschichte) challenge this overly simplistic picture. \nThree short papers will be presented based on collaborative research on the dictatorships of Mussolini in Italy\, Franco in Spain\, Salazar in Portugal\, and Metaxas and the Colonels in Greece. Attention will be paid to how dictatorship affected – and was affected by – the intimacy of social bonds between friends\, relatives\, and neighbours (Ferris)\, the practices of leisure and play both in and outside the home (Lengkeek)\, and the experience of time spent alone\, whether in loneliness or solitude (Halstead). This will reveal that Italians\, Spaniards\, Portuguese\, and Greeks living through dictatorship were active agents in their own histories – imbalances in power notwithstanding – operating in ways both normative and non-normative. In the process\, it will be demonstrated that the “big picture” of dictatorial rule is woven from the threads of everyday life. \nDaniel Knight will respond to the papers with a social anthropologist’s perspective on everyday life and dictatorship\, followed by a discussion with the panellists and the audience chaired by Michalis Sotiropoulos. \nThe event will be followed by an informal wine reception. \nThis is a hybrid event. All welcome! \nPlease register via Eventbrite to help us with catering numbers. \n  \nFriday 4 April 2025\, 5:00 p.m. – 6:45 p.m. GMT \nSydney Smith Lecture Theatre\, Doorway 1\, Old Medical School\, EH1 2QZ \nHybrid event \nTo attend the event in-person in Edinburgh\, please register here \nTo attend the event online via Teams\, please register here.

SUMMARY:David Ricks\, "Poetry between Languages: Writing and Translating Poetry in English and Greek"
DESCRIPTION:Joint BSA-CHS Panel\n‘Poetry between Languages: Writing and Translating Poetry in English and Greek’\nThis hybrid panel session\, to be held on 20 January 2025 at the British School at Athens\, takes as its starting point With Signs Following (Reading: Two Rivers Press 2024) the newly published poetry collection of David Ricks (Professor Emeritus\, King’s College London). The two-hour-long session starts at 17:00 (Greek time) and will be chaired by Professor Sir Roderick Beaton\, Chair of the BSA Council. The speakers are: \nDr Dionysis Kapsalis (former Director of the Cultural Foundation of the National Bank of Greece)\, whose title is ‘Not Life but speech’.

He will pay special attention to the conjugal tension between living speech and formal verse in the translation of poetry. \nProfessor Nasos Vayenas (University of Athens) will speak in Greek on the topic ‘Διαβάζοντας τα ποιήματα του David Ricks’. He describes his talk as ‘μια ανάλυση της ποιητικής του Ricks με βαση τη θεματική και την προσωδία των ποιημάτων του.’ \nProfessor Athina Vogiatzoglou (University of Ioannina) will speak on the subject ‘Writing in English and Translating from Greek’. She will explore David Ricks’s poetic vision and craftsmanship through a selected reading of his poems and his creative translations. \nThe renowned poet and translator A.E. Stallings (University of Oxford)\, who wrote the Afterword to With Signs Following\, will share her own thoughts. \nThe event is co-hosted by the Centre for Hellenic Studies at King’s College London. It will be recorded for future use. \nDavid Ricks\nDavid Ricks is Professor Emeritus of Modern Greek and Comparative Literature\, King’s College London.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion\, "Translation and the sound of ancient Greek music"
DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion – Committee for Society\, Arts & Letters\nTranslation and the sound of ancient Greek music\nThe second of two panel discussions exploring how the sounds of Greek poetry influence their modern translation into both words and music. \nChair: Dr Emily Pillinger \nSpeakers: Dr Tosca Lynch\, Dr Samuel Dorf\, Dr Toby Young \nThis panel will concentrate on the translation of ancient Greek music into modern music. It will explore the few traces we have of the ancient music that would have accompanied ancient Greek poetry\, and reflect on how this has inspired modern composers and thinkers. It will also consider how modern music has responded to purely imagined Greek sonic worlds. \nTosca Lynch is a musician and classicist with unique expertise in ancient Greek music\, who recently co-edited with Eleonora Rocconi the essential handbook to ancient music: the Wiley-Blackwell Companion to Greek and Roman Music (2020). She regularly updates an invaluable website: https://www.emousike.com/. Samuel Dorf is a musicologist whose recent monograph\, Performing Antiquity (2018)\, analyses the music and dance used in performing hypothetical reconstructions of Greek lyric poetry in the 1930s\, and is now working on what he calls ‘Extreme Early Music’ – that is\, on the contemporary practice of reconstructing the sounds of ancient music and the meaning of claims to ‘authenticity’ in this context. Toby Young is a highly experienced and versatile music composer who is particularly interested in the voice and the questions / limitations associated with rigid delineations of musical genre. He has experience reconstructing sound worlds of the past in his role as the music supervisor for ‘Punchdrunk’\, a British immersive theatre company. \n  \nOnline only\, 7pm (Greece) / 5pm (UK).  \nRegister to attend online via Zoom webinar.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion\, "Translation and the sound of Greek poetry"
DESCRIPTION:Orpheus and Thracians (detail)\, red-figure krater\, Berlin\, Antikensammlung\, inv. 3172 \nPanel Discussion – Committee for Society\, Arts & Letters\nTranslation and the sound of Greek poetry\nThe first of two panel discussions exploring how the sounds of Greek poetry influence their modern translation into both words and music. \nChair: Dr Pavlos Avlamis \nSpeakers: Prof Tim Whitmarsh (Cambridge)\, A.

SUMMARY:Mythical Retellings: Reimagining the women of Greek Myth
DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion – Committee for Society\, Arts & Letters\nMythical Retellings: Reimagining the women of Greek Myth\nPanel: Claire Heywood\, Jennifer Saint\, Susan Stokes-Chapman \nChair: Prof. Edith Hall (Durham University) \nAmid the recent popularity of fiction inspired by Greek mythology\, authors Claire Heywood\, Jennifer Saint\, and Susan Stokes-Chapman discuss the opportunities and challenges which come with retelling ancient myths for a modern audience. Are the original myths expanded\, reduced or simply made relevant by retellings? How can we view the current appetite for retellings? How are the women of Greek myth brought into new focus? And how much creative liberty can be taken in the reworking of ancient tales? \nOnline only\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece)  \nPlease register to attend ONLINE via Zoom here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bswMzUd9Ql-r3bHr2NC26g#/registration \n

SUMMARY:Literature in the Aftermath of the 1922 Asia Minor Catastrophe: Translation
DESCRIPTION:Image: Refugees at Knossos\, 1922. Image reproduced with permission of the UN Archives. The original image shows on p. 190 of League of Nations\, Greek Refugee Settlement (Geneva\, 1926) https://owncloud.unog.ch/s/CnijycaeZtxXsac#pdfviewer \n  \nLiterature in the Aftermath of the 1922 Asia Minor Catastrophe: Translation \n  \nThis is the first of two panel discussions co-organised with the Centre for Hellenic Studies and Aiora Press\, concentrating on translation issues: How can we convey pain in another language? What\, if anything\, remains untranslatable? \nChair\nProf. David Ricks (Professor Emeritus\, King’s College London)\n\n\nDavid Ricks is Professor Emeritus\, King’s College London\, and Honorary Senior Research Fellow\, University of Birmingham. His translations include versions from Cavafy\, Sinopoulos\, Vayenas\, and Ganas\, and he is working on a translation of selected short stories by Michail Mitsakis for Aiora Press.  \n  \nPetro Alexiou \n ‘The Challenges of Conveying the Underlying Historical Emotions of Trauma’  \n I will present three challenges involved in translating the Greek text of A Prisoner of War’s Story (1929) into English for a contemporary readership. (i) Can the translation convey the narrator’s horrendous and complex ordeal? In particular\, when it comes to the narrator’s words for repeated killings and arbitrary executions\, can the translation find the appropriate lexical equivalents? In other words\, can the translation convey the underlying historical emotions of the novella? (ii) Can the novella’s intrinsic dual cultural and linguistic element be conveyed? How can we signal the change or mix of language to readers? (iii) Given that the Greek-Turkish War (1919-22) and centuries of co-existence amongst religious and linguistic communities in the Ottoman Empire are still not familiar to many readers\, how can this information be conveyed within or parallel to the text? I will use examples from the Greek and the English translation to illustrate.  \nJoshua Barley \n‘Translating the unspeakable – the language of lament’  \n Lament is the ultimate example of ‘speaking the unspeakable’. My focus for discussion is how the language of Greek folk laments can be translated into English – and how this language can be understood by the foreign reader. I will refer both to laments proper and to a demotic song about the destruction of Smyrna\, which draws on motifs of the laments.  \nVictoria Solomonidis-Hunter \n‘Smyrna 1922: Solace through translation’  \n Kosmas Politis\, a witness of the 1922 events\, wrote his novel  Στου Χατζηφράγκου  [At  Hadjifrangou] in 1962\, on the 40th anniversary of the Asia Minor Catastrophe as a memorial to his much-loved Smyrna. He was 74 years old and had found solace through describing in detail the city of his youth\, which now existed only in the memory of those who knew it before the fire.   \nIn 1992\, the novel was translated by Osman Bleda into Turkish and was published under the title Yitik Kentin Kırk Yılı İzmir’in [Forty Years of the Lost City of Izmir]\, which paraphrased the original Greek subtitle of the novel Τα Σαραντάχρονα μιας Χαμένης Πολιτείας.  \nAs a young girl\, Gülfem Kâatçılar İren had also lived through the 1922 events which had left her with indelible trauma. She found solace by revisiting the ‘lost’ city of her childhood through the translated novel. She was 77 years old and went on to publish her own memoirs.  \nThe presentation will relate the events as experienced by the young Gülfem and juxtapose her memories with Kosmas Politis’ own recollections. The aim is to highlight that\, with Smyrna itself as the main ‘hero’ of the novel\, here translation acts as mediator\, conveying the shared pain for the lost city and granting solace to the trauma suffered by both sides.  \nThis contribution is dedicated to the memory of Peter Mackridge (12 March 1946 – 16 June 2022)\, who brought so much to the critical study and evaluation of Kosmas Politis’ Στου Χατζηφράγκου.  \n\n\n\nPlease register here to attend online via Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Gpw17ZNDTyG7ykV5W-cUrA \n  \nWednesday 18 January 2023\, 5pm (UK) / 7pm (Greece) \nThe second session will focus on reception issues and will take place on Wednesday 25 January 2023.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Archaeologists at the Trojan walls\, meddling between myth and reality?
DESCRIPTION:Archaeology is just one of the many disciplines that have approached the understanding of the site of Troy and the events in its history. In some ways\, it occupies an awkward position between myth and the reality of the site. What is the role of archaeology in the modern consumption of Troy? Do archaeologists just look from the sidelines? A panel discussion will explore these issues in a frank and open manner. \nContributors: Prof. Susan Sherratt\, Dr. Naoise Mac Sweeney\, Dr. Andrew Shapland\, and Dr. Eva Mol. \nThis event is co-hosted between UCL Institute of Archaeology\, the British School at Athens and The British Institute at Ankara. It is free to attend and no registration is necessary\, with everyone welcome to a wine reception afterwards.

SUMMARY:Petrie\, Pendlebury\, and Hogarth in Greece and Egypt - A panel discussion
DESCRIPTION:Petrie\, Pendlebury\, and Hogarth in Greece and Egypt – A panel discussion [Yannis Galanakis (Cambridge)\, Imogen Grundon (Pendlebury’s biographer)\, Alice Stevenson (UCL) and Heba Abd el Gawad (Durham) in conversation] \nFlinders Petrie\, John Pendlebury\, and David Hogarth – in their excavations at Naukratis\, Amarna\, Ephesos and Knossos – developed ground-breaking archaeological approaches during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This discussion explores the connections between these pioneers and their archaeological institutions – how the BSA and EES shaped their work and their modern legacies within these institutions. Topics to be explored include Petrie’s idea of the museum as a motivating factor in his excavations and Hogath’s interest in ‘Greek remains’ in Egypt. \nThis event is organised in collaboration with the Egypt Exploration Society
