Social movements in Greece in new Ethnologia Europaea volume

by KALAMOS BOOKS

[image: 41:1]*Special Issue of the journal Ethnologia Europaea (Vol 48:1, 2018) with title: Practices of Resistance* Jutta Lauth Bacas (coordinator of the EASA MedNet network) and Marion Näser-Lather (University of Marburg) acted as guest editors of a Special Issue of the journal *Ethnologia Europaea* (Vol 48:1, 2018) with the title: Practices of Resistance. In this special issue fresh anthropological research is presented on localized practices of resistance by protest groups, solidarity initiatives and cultural projects arisen in Mediterranean countries in wake of the crisis after 2008. Based on ethnological and anthropological fieldwork in France, Slovenia, Italy and Greece, the volume (48:1, 2018) offers insight into the media-based protest against the commodification of the so-called Panier, a historic harbour-district of Marseille (Philip Cartelli), into urban gardening in Ljubljana as a practice opposing the growing neoliberal market economy (Saša Poljak Istenič), and the movement Genuino Clandestino, a solidarity network of small-scale farmers in Italy (Alexander Koensler). Three more case studies focus on social movements in Greece: a solidarity network in Volos, where citizens developed an alternative exchange and trading system (Andreas Streinzer); grassroots mobilizations as resistant practices in the inner urban neighbourhood of Exarchia/Athens (Monia Cappuccini); and finally rural solidarity networks on the Peloponnese peninsula (James Verinis). A comparative discussion on similarities and differences in Mediterranean protest movements (Jutta Lauth Bacas and Marion Näser-Lather) identifies underlying common features in these clearly different practices of protest: among others, the major role of face-to-face interaction and mutual trust. ----------------------- -- June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com http://kalamosb.alibrisstore.com/ http://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookseller.phtml/kal

COHSL list

by KALAMOS BOOKS

Rhea If you are not able to continue the mailing list would it be appropraite for me to initiate a similar list thro Alternatively there is an active "bookish" list operating out of Indiana University that might be of interest to some COHSL members exlibris-l(a)list.indiana.edu It is a friendly and co-operative meeting place for rare book dealers and rare book librarians to ask questions and to share information and knowledge. Only on one day each week - tuesday - is it permitted for dealers to offer links to special catalogues,otherwise it is "non-commercial" June S ------------------------ June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com http://kalamosb.alibrisstore.com/ http://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookseller.phtml/kal

Ephemera and/or trash for RBMS 2019

by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gabrielle Dean <gnodean(a)jhu.edu> Date: Tue, Jul 17, 2018, 16:53 Dear colleagues, I am seeking collaborators on a panel to propose to RBMS for the 2019 conference <http://rbms.info/blog/news-events/call-for-proposals-rbms-2019/>, June 18-21 in Baltimore, the theme of which is Response and Responsibility: Special Collections and Climate Change. Ideally, this panel would consist of 3 to 4 presentations of case-studies on the topic of “ephemera and/or trash.” Historically, libraries have had difficulty gaining effective intellectual and physical control over ephemera.* And there was not always an incentive to do so. Produced cheaply, for transitory purposes, printed ephemera has often been seen as inferior to books or periodicals, where greater “cultural value” is believed to reside. Manuscript ephemera—unless it is associated with someone famous—is even lower than that. Ephemera only survives when a reader disregards its intended purpose: to be thrown away. And yet, as Michael Twyman argues, “If we want to catch the spirit of a period or flesh out the details of a particular occasion or situation,” or understand the attitudes of a period or its language, ephemera is essential; he notes, “studies of social and cultural history that discount printed ephemera are about as representative of their fields as studies of literature that take no account of the romantic novel or science fiction, or histories of architecture that ignore domestic and industrial buildings.” (“The Long Term Significance of Printed Ephemera,” *RBM* 9.1, 20, 57.) Precisely because of its low cost and “below the radar” status, ephemera has often served the interests of poor, marginalized, controversial, and radical communities. Ephemera teaches literacy, organizes political protests, and spreads scandalous stories. Increasingly, we find that ephemera can help us reveal and tell some of the stories that never made it into the print culture vehicles dominated by elites. Given the growing interest in ephemera and recognition of its cultural value, how do we know what to “invest” in—when to rescue trashy bits of paper from the floods of time? And when, given the immediate, long-term, and environmental costs of stewarding those unruly bits of paper, is it appropriate to throw something away? How do our description and preservation standards, our research and teaching practices, stand up to the challenges of ephemera? What do we do differently now with ephemera—perhaps especially since the 2007 RMBS conference, *From Here to Ephemerality: Fugitive Sources in Libraries, Archives, and Museums* <http://rbms.info/conferences2/preconferences/2007/index.html>*?* And what do we need to do to ensure that vital but elusive traces of the past are preserved and interpretable in and for the future? Case-studies that engage one or more of the topics below are especially welcome: - Ephemera and social justice - Digitization, digital tools, and ephemera - The complexities of ephemera in collections: scope, scale, description - Ephemera and historical reading practices - The printing and circulation of ephemera - Teaching with ephemera - Preservation and access dilemmas and strategies Please send a 250-word abstract of your proposed presentation, which should discuss a specific collection, project, program, or activity, along with your name, title, contact info, and a brief bio, by *Friday, July 27*, to Gabrielle Dean, William Kurrelmeyer Curator of Rare Books & Manuscripts, Johns Hopkins University, gnodean(a)jhu.edu. *Ephemera is notoriously hard to define. For the purposes of this panel, we’ll adopt the expanded definition used by the Ephemera Society of America <http://www.ephemerasociety.org/def.html>, which is based on that used by Maurice Rickards, “the minor transient documents of everyday life.” The expanded definition does not include newspapers and other periodicals but does include some categories of material such as souvenirs that were designed to be kept.

question fro CoHSL members

by Lesage, Rhea Karabelas

Dear CoHSL members: I am afraid that the CoHSL listserv has been taken over by spam. I spend all of my time as moderator rejecting hundreds of vulgar messages each week. I've consulted with Harvard's Information Technology and after several attempted fixes, they have been unable to stop it. I am going to have to shut down this listserv and encourage interested members join one of two possible lists: The Modern Greek Studies Association listserv: https://www.mgsa.org/Initiatives/list.html The MGSA list is a free e-mail discussion list for Modern Greek Studies. The MGSA Library Committee has been revitalized as of the last MGSA Symposium so library matters are indeed of interest to MGSA members. And/Or: The Forum for Classics, Libraries and Scholarly Communication: fclsc(a)lists.uchicago.edu<mailto:fclsc@lists.uchicago.edu> The Forum brings together people interested in the intersection between classical studies, libraries, and scholarly communication, in order to promote timely exchange of information and ideas. Members also collaborate on projects of mutual concern. As an officially affiliated group of the American Philological Association, the Forum aims to support initiatives of the APA relating to libraries and scholarly communication. Visit the FCLSC Website<http://www.classicslibrarians.org/> for more information. Please be in touch if you have any questions. I will close the CoHSL listserv down in one week, Friday, July 13.
