Pages : 256
Book Description
This ethnographic study deals with the ways people in Athens, Greece, use style to construct their social class identities. Including a rich dataset comprising ethnographic interviews with actual people who live in the stereotypically seen as leafy and posh northern suburbs and in the stereotypically treated as working class western suburbs of Athens coupled with data from popular literary novels, TV series and Greek hip hop music, it argues that the relationship between style and social class identity is mediated by complex social meanings encompassing features from and discourses relevant to both areas, which are structured across different orders of indexicality depending on the genre of speech in which they are created. As such, it will be of interest to scholars in sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, anthropology, sociology, Modern Greek studies, and to everyone who is interested in how social class is constructed via language.

Pages : 308
Book Description
Part memoir and part travelogue, this book adds its own distinctive voice to the chorus of writers of Modern Greek living in the Greek-American diaspora.This unique voice belongs to a tall, blond American woman, a professor of aerospace engineering at the University of California, who met her future Greek-born and raised husband-to-be when she was still a graduate student. This book tells the story of her "journey" toward understanding Greece and its people, and more importantly, how she "became" a Greek woman... at least in spirit. It is a story of her coming to terms with her role as Greek wife and mother, observer and ponderer.The author uses her precise eye for detail and her crystalline memory in the service of her goal. She listens carefully to her husband's family stories to make them her own. She watches her lovable mother-in-law Elpida, to learn how she cooks and how she lives. She observes the differences in customs between Americans and Greeks and vividly illustrates them in her amusing vignettes.This is a book that you read with all of your senses. Its freshness in style allows you to taste, smell, feel, hear and see the written accounts of family, friends, lore and nature.

Book Description
This first general history of Greek theatre from Hellenistic times to the foundation of the Modern Greek state in 1830 marks a radical departure from traditional methods of historiography. We like to think of history unfolding continuously, in an evolutionary form, but the story of Greek theatre is rather different. After traditional theatre ended in the sixth and seventh centuries, no traditional drama was written or performed on stage throughout the Greek-speaking world for centuries due to the Orthodox Church's hostile attitude toward spectacles. With the reinvention of theatre in Renaissance Italy, however, Greek theatre was revived in Crete under Venetian rule in the late sixteenth century. The following centuries saw the restoration of Greek theatre at various locations, albeit characterized by numerous ruptures and discontinuities in terms of geography, stylistics, thematic approaches and ideologies. These diverse developments were only 'normalized' with the establishment of the Greek nation state.
