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:CANCELLED: Lamprini Rori\, 'The Landscape of Political Violence in Crisis-Ridden Greece’
DESCRIPTION:  \nTHIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE SPREAD OF COVID-19. \n  \nPolitical extremism has been present in Greece since 1974. Despite the adoption of a counter-terrorist governmental strategy around the turn of the millennium which temporarily limited episodes of violent extremism\, violence remains a serious problem. By its unprecedented magnitude and durée\, the ongoing financial crisis has triggered the emergence of circumstances that promote the toleration\, acceptance and use of violence. The paper focuses on different expressions of political violence in Greece from 2008 onwards\, aiming to identify its repertoires and causes\, the actors involved\, their ideological background\, targets\, aims and consequences.

SUMMARY:The Early Ottoman Peloponnese - A Study in the Light of an Annotated Editio Princeps of the TT10 – 1/14662 Ottoman Taxation Cadastre (ca. 1460 – 1463).
DESCRIPTION:The Early Ottoman Peloponnese – A Study in the Light of an Annotated Editio Princeps of the TT10 – 1/14662 Ottoman Taxation Cadastre (ca. 1460 – 1463).\n\nIn this book\, Georgios C. Liakopoulos presents a unique insight into late Byzantine Peloponnese society and its economy\, and how these were incorporated into the Ottoman Empire\, using as reference the cadastre compiled immediately after the Ottoman conquest. What makes this study imperative is the fact that no similar Byzantine document of the period has survived. The author offers a thorough analysis of the demography of the Peloponnese and its categorisation into urban/rural and sedentary/nomadic\, concentrating on the Albanians\, the second largest ethnic group after the Greeks. A detailed presentation of the level of agricultural production\, livestock\, fishing and commerce is illustrated with tables and charts. The book is complemented with a diplomatic edition of the transcribed Ottoman text and facsimiles of the cadastre.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Francis Robinson (Royal Asiatic Society)\nProfessor Paraskevas Konortas (University of Athens)\nProfessor Georgia Katsouda (Academy of Athens)\nDr Georgios Liakopoulos (Max Planck Institute)

Diplomatic relations between the two realms are examined with particular attention to the city called Wilusa by the Hittites. Finally\, it is asked to what extent\, if any\, the Iliad recalled western Asia Minor and its political geography half a millennium and more after the period traditionally assigned to the Trojan War. \nGeorge Huxley took part in excavations at Mycenae and Knossos in the 1950s. He is a former Assistant Director of the BSA and has been a member of the School’s Managing Committee. Among his writings is Achaeans and Hittites\, and with his friend the late J. N. Coldstream he edited Kythera. Excavations and Studies. In 1957 he married the archaeologist Davina Best\, the editor of Cretan Quests. He is an honorary citizen of Kythera. \n  \nThe lecture will be followed by an informal reception. There is a suggested donation of £8.50 for Supporters of the BSA (£10.50 otherwise). Cheques should be made payable to the ‘British School at Athens’ and sent in advance to BSA\, 10 Carlton House Terrace\, London SW1Y 5AH.

SUMMARY:The Work of the School in 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Work of the School in 2019 by Professor John Bennet \nThe Work of the Fitch Laboratory 2009-2019: Linking Britain with the Mediterranean by Dr Evangelia Kiriatzi (Fitch Laboratory Director\, BSA) \nThe Marc and Ismene Fitch Laboratory was founded over 45 years ago within the British School at Athens to promote the application of scientific techniques in archaeological research in Greece. In 2009-10\, a generous donation by a long-lasting supporter of the institution enabled the establishment of a new Analytical Chemistry Unit and an overall refurbishment programme\, marking the beginning of a new phase in the Laboratory’s history. Since then\, an ambitious programme of research and training has been developed through a rapidly growing network of international collaborations. All these developments are briefly reviewed emphasising the Fitch’s current research results and impact on the field\, as well as outlining future prospects.

SUMMARY:Panel discussion: Migration and Diaspora\, co-organised with King's College London
DESCRIPTION:Moderator: Dionysios Stathakopoulos\, King’s College London. \nDionysios Stathakopoulos has been teaching at King’s College London since 2005. He read Byzantine and Medieval History at the University of Münster and received his PhD from the University of Vienna. He is a social historian of the Byzantine world and has published widely on epidemics and famines\, the practice and practitioners of medicine\, charity\, poverty and remembrance. His latest book is A Short History of the Byzantine Empire (2014)\, recently translated in Greek\, Turkish and Estonian. He is currently working on a monograph on wealth\, consumption and inequality in the late Byzantine Empire and another on the cultural history of the late Byzantine aristocracy. \nSpeakers: \nGiampaolo Salice\,: ‘The Alexianos: The “Imperial strategies” of a Diasporic Greek Family (1743-1782)’. \nThe Alessianos were a Greek family from the Ottoman city of Monemvasia who settled in 18th century British Minorca. The members of this family where British citizens\, Russian consuls\, merchants and public officials for the British monarchy at the same time\, as they moved between Mahon (strategic commercial hub and the only Mediterranean harbour able to host the British fleet during winter)\, London (where some of the set up a privateer ship under the British flag)\, Leghorn (one of the most important free ports for the British) and Russian Empire (that employed them as naval admirals in several naval battles against the Ottoman) and even took place in the British conquest of Havana\, Cuba. \nThis paper will try to firstly to analyse the role played by Alessianos in changing the economic\, social and urban framework of the island of Menorca; secondly in allowing exchanges between different cultural and political entities and eventually in the building of new diplomatic and commercial relations between Russian and British empire. \nGiampaolo Salice earned his Phd degree in Modern History from University of Rome La Sapienza (2009) and his diploma in paleography and archival science from the State Archive of Cagliari (2005). He worked as visiting fellow at the Institute of Germanic & Romance Studies at University of London (2011-2012) at the University of Bristol (2010) and Barcelona (2017). At the moment\, he is research fellow at the University of Cagliari\, where he teaches courses in Early Modern History and runs L.U.Di.Ca.\, the digital humanities lab of the University of Cagliari. \nHis first interests include history of Sardinian and Italian rural elites (17th-19th centuries).  In the last years\, Salice started to work on the interdependence between Mediterranean diasporas and internal colonization policies put in place by European State from 16th to 18th century. He devoted to this field of research books\, articles and the digital platform available at the link: storia.dh.unica.it/colonizzazioninterne. \nGonda Van Steen\, ‘Adoption\, Migration\, and Cold War Greece: Trips of No Return’ \nGonda Van Steen is King’s Koraes Chair and Director of the Centre for Hellenic Studies. Her presentation relates to the subject of her most recent book\, Adoption\, Memory\, and Cold War Greece: Kid pro quo?\, published by the University of Michigan Press in December 2019. \nThis book presents a committed quest to unravel and document the postwar adoption networks that placed more than 3\,000 Greek children in the United States\, in a movement accelerated by the aftermath of the Greek Civil War and by the new conditions of the global Cold War. Greek-to-American adoptions and\, regrettably\, also their transactions and transgressions\, provided the blueprint for the first large-scale international adoptions\, well before these became a mass phenomenon typically associated with Asian children. The story of these Greek postwar and Cold War adoptions\, whose procedures ranged from legal to highly irregular\, has never been told or analyzed before. Adoption\, Memory\, and Cold War Greece answers the important questions: How did these adoptions from Greece happen? Was there any money involved? Humanitarian rescue or kid pro quo? Or both? \nEffie Pedaliu\, ‘European Stability and Migration’ \nThe refugee crisis of 2015 was manipulated by demagogues and was presented as a migration crisis with dire consequences to the European project and political discourse in Europe. Europe however\, needs migrants to mitigate the pernicious effects of its declining and ageing population. Migratory pressures into Europe are unlikely to stop – so how can Europe react and how can migration become less toxic in European political discourse? \nEffie G. H. Pedaliu is a Visiting Fellow at LSE IDEAS having previously held posts at LSE\, KCL and UWE. She is a co-editor of the Palgrave/Macmillan book series\, Security Conflict and Cooperation in the Contemporary World and a member of the AHRC peer review college. She is the author of Britain\, Italy and the Origins of the Cold War\, (Palgrave/Macmillan\, 2003); co-editor of Britain in Global Affairs: From Churchill to Blair\, (Palgrave\, 2013) and The Foreign Office\, Commerce and British Foreign Policy in the C20th (Palgrave\, 2017). \nEmmanouil Pratsinakis\, ‘Intra-EU mobility and the new Greek emigration’. \nEven if the establishment of the right to free movement\, employment and settlement across the European Union for Greek citizens in 1988 allowed for unrestricted mobility\, this never took the form of a major outmigration. Until recently\, Greeks were among the least mobile Europeans. However\, this changed drastically following the post 2008 Greek crisis. The combined effects of recession\, austerity\, and a generalized mistrust towards institutions and disillusionment from the political system have redefined mobility intentions in Greece. Approximately 400\,000 Greek citizens left Greece after 2009. This resurgence of large-scale emigration from Greece\, has received extensive media coverage. In a rather politicized public discourse emigration is presented as an one-way option for certain population segments\, notably the young and the highly skilled\, and hence a drain of the most dynamic part of the country’s labour force. \nDrawing on qualitative and quantitative data collected in the context of the Greek Diaspora and the EUMIGRE projects this presentation provides an in-depth assessment of the new emigration within the context of the freedom of movement in the European Union. It further discusses how the crisis in Greece has altered everyday discourse on emigration and loosened up social constraints towards long distance mobility.  The aim of the presentation is to challenge a number of conventional assumptions underlying the way the new Greek outmigration is commonly presented and critically assess the main labels used to describe it namely\, brain drain\, new migration and crisis-driven migration. \nManolis Pratsinakis is the Onassis Fellow at the Department of Politics and International Relations\, University of Oxford. He is also Deputy Project Manager of the SEESOX Diaspora project and a research affiliate COMPAS at the University of Oxford. Manolis Pratsinakis was previously a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at the University of Macedonia\, a visiting fellow at the University of Sussex and a lecturer at the University of Amsterdam. His academic interests broadly concern the study of migration and nationalism. He has done research and published on immigrant-native relations\, ethnic boundaries and categorization\, everyday nationhood\, brain drain\, and intra-EU mobility in the post 2008 period. Manolis has studied Geography and Sociology (with honors) and completed his PhD in 2013 in Anthropology. His MA studies were supported by a Nuffic Huygens Scholarship and his PhD research by a postgraduate IKY scholarship from the Dutch and Greek state respectively.

SUMMARY:Edith Hall: 21st-Century Responses to the Homeric Iliad
DESCRIPTION:Since the turn of the 21st century there has been an unprecedented wave of creative responses to the Iliad\, by prizewinning novelists and poets as well as cinema and TV producers. Professor Edith Hall (KCL) will explore the similarities and radical divergences between several of these responses\, to ask why a poem with roots in the Bronze Age should still strike such resonant chords in our own\, very different\, societies. \nThis lecture coincides with the British Museum’s exhibition Troy: Myth and Reality \nThis event is free to attend and will be followed by light refreshments. There is a suggested voluntary donation of £15. Cheques should be made payable to the ‘British School at Athens’ and sent in advance to British School at Athens\, 10 Carlton House Terrace\, London SW1Y 5AH. A donation box for cash and cheques will be available at the event. RSVP to Kate Smith: bsa@britac.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Lamprini Rori: 'The Landscape of Political Violence in Crisis-Ridden Greece'
DESCRIPTION:Political extremism has been present in Greece since 1974. Despite the adoption of a counter-terrorist governmental strategy around the turn of the millennium which temporarily limited episodes of violent extremism\, violence remains a serious problem. By its unprecedented magnitude and durée\, the ongoing financial crisis has triggered the emergence of circumstances that promote the toleration\, acceptance and use of violence. The paper focuses on different expressions of political violence in Greece from 2008 onwards\, aiming to identify its repertoires and causes\, the actors involved\, their ideological background\, targets\, aims and consequences.

SUMMARY:Robin Barber & Tony Spawforth: Instruction in an Antique Land: The First Taught Courses at the BSA\, 1973-1989
DESCRIPTION:  \nNo formal courses were taught at the BSA before 1973\, the year of the first annual undergraduate programme. This was the brainchild of the then Assistant Director\, Robin Barber\, and helped to inspire a second\, this time for UK school teachers in Ancient History\, established in 1979. Both initiatives occurred under the directorship of Dr Hector Catling\, who personally led the first six schoolteachers’ courses. The speakers will discuss the early history of these two courses (others—on epigraphy\, numismatics and pottery—have been established more recently)\, including the organisation and itineraries\, which frequently involved unforeseen and sometimes hilarious episodes. \nRobin Barber was Assistant Director of the BSA from 1972 to 1976 and subsequently taught Classical Archaeology at Edinburgh University. He is author of The Cyclades in the Bronze Age and edited several Greek volumes in the Blue Guide series. He was invested with an honorary doctorate by the University of Athens in 2012. \nTony Spawforth (professor emeritus of Ancient History\, Newcastle University) was Assistant Director of the BSA but one after Robin Barber\, from 1979 to 1981\, and contributed to both courses for over a decade. His new book\, The Story of Greece and Rome (Yale\, 2018)\, will appear in paperback early in 2020.

SUMMARY:A poetry and spoken word performance by Vanessa Kisuule and Pavlina Marvin
DESCRIPTION:A poetry and spoken word performance by Vanessa Kisuule and Pavlina Marvin \nOn the occasion of the British Council’s 80th anniversary celebrations in Greece and of the UK being the Country of Honour at Public Book Awards\, the British Council in collaboration with Public Bookstores\, have invited Vanessa Kisuule and Pavlina Marvin to join forces on Wednesday 30 October\, at 19:00\, in the Penrose Library of the British School at Athens. The multi awarded poet and performer from Bristol and one of the most intriguing next generation voices in Athens\, will explore their private and public visions of 80 years ago and 80 years from now and perform poetically\, through spoken word a sample of their existing work. What does a woman poet-performer see in Greece\, the UK\, and the world\, 80 years ago from today? And what findings can a poetic archaeology of the future reveal about life\, nature\, and culture 80 years from now? The two poets will create a performative piece on this theme\, enriched and informed by their in situ meeting in Athens.\nThe event will be moderated by poet\, editor and critic\, Panayotis Ioannidis. \nEntrance from Ioanni Diamanti Patera 53\, Athens 106 76
