Greek arithmetic textbooks

by hale1652

Dear colleagues, this is Harry Leich writing (I retired 14 months ago from the Library of Congress). I am still, on a volunteer basis, handling Modern Greek reference inquiries submitted to LC. One came in today. The researcher is trying to identify what was the "oldest arithmetic book published in the Modern Greek language." The earliest one identified they have found so far is a 1797 Greek translation by Spyridon Asanes of a work originally in French, probably first published in the 1750s, by: La Caille, Nicolas Louis de, 1713-1762 with the Greek title (LC romanization) Stoicheia arithmetikes te kai algevras. Published in Venice in 1797. We assume the requester is looking for school textbooks rather than scholarly works. I do not have any in-person access to the LC buildings and print reference collections because of the pandemic, and probably won't for another month or more. If anybody has any leads on how to handle this query, please get back to me. The requester's institutional affiliation is unknown. Many thanks, and best wishes to all!

NEW BOOK PUBLICATION: Languages of Resistance, Transformation and Futurity in Mediterranean Crisis-Scapes: From Crisis to Critique (Boletsi, M.)

by Dia Philippides

From: "Boletsi, M." <M.Boletsi(a)hum.leidenuniv.nl> To: "mgsa-l(a)uci.edu" <mgsa-l(a)uci.edu> Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 20:14:42 +0000 Subject: [MGSA-L] NEW BOOK PUBLICATION: Languages of Resistance, Transformation and Futurity in Mediterranean Crisis-Scapes: From Crisis to Critique Dear colleagues, I want to bring the following edited volume to your attention, just published by Palgrave and edited by Janna Houwen, Liesbeth Minnaard and myself. The book addresses contexts across the Mediterranean with roughly one third of the essays focusing on Greek case studies. It is part of the Palgrave series in *Globalization, Culture and Society*, and includes essays by Jonas Taudal Bækgaard, Maria Boletsi, Ipek Celik-Rappas & Diego Benegas Loyo, Karen Emmerich, Begüm Özden Fırat, Olivia Harrison, Janna Houwen, Nataša Kovačević, Megan C. MacDonald, Geli Mademli, Liesbeth Minnaard, Dimitris Papanikolaou, and Pablo Valdivia. The *Introduction* is available for free download (*OPEN ACCESS*) here: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-030-36415-1 <https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-030-36415-1?fbclid=IwAR353da…> The book can be ordered as e-book or hardcopy: we would be grateful if you could alert your libraries and ask them to include it in their collections! You can browse through the table of contents here <https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030364144?utm_campaign=sl-buybox_bookP…> *Languages of Resistance, Transformation, and Futurity in Mediterranean Crisis-Scapes: From Crisis to Critique* *Ed. By Maria Boletsi, Janna Houwen and Liesbeth Minnaard. Palgrave Macmillan, 2020* This collection rethinks *crisis* in relation to *critique* through the prism of various declared ‘crises’ in the Mediterranean: the refugee crisis, the Eurozone crisis, the Greek debt crisis, the Arab Spring, the Palestinian question, and others. With contributions from cultural, literary, film, and migration studies and sociology, this book shifts attention from Europe to the Mediterranean as a site not only of intersecting crises, but a breeding ground for new cultures of critique, visions of futurity, and radical imaginaries shaped through or against frameworks of crisis. If crisis rhetoric today serves populist, xenophobic or anti-democratic agendas, can the concept *crisis* still do the work of *critique* or partake in transformative languages by scholars, artists, and activists? Or should we forge different vocabularies to understand present realities? This collection explores alternative mobilizations of *crisis* and forms of art, cinema, literature, and cultural practices across the Mediterranean that disengage from dominant crisis narratives. *From the reviews <https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030364144?utm_campaign=sl-buybox_bookP…> on the** we**bsite:* “The book offers a keen and engaging account of the ways in which the term ‘crisis’ might be involved in critical vocabularies that seek to challenge pervasive frameworks of crisis and engender spaces of alternative imageries and imaginaries. Its focus on the Mediterranean crisis-scapes is suggestive in its capacity to invigorate situated critical thought on languages of resistance and futurity. Drawing attention to the production of critical moments of/in intersecting crises, the essays in this volume offer valuable and compelling ways of rethinking what is at stake in the visualization, rhetoricity and affectivity of such languages as they play out in literature, film, art, and other forms of cultural production.” *Athena Athanasiou, Professor of Social Anthropology, Panteion University, Greece, and author of Agonistic Mourning: Political Dissidence and the Women in Black (2017)* “This is an exciting and original volume that asks timely questions about crisis and critique around the Mediterranean. Vigorously engaging with concrete fields and works in the humanities and the social sciences, it also upholds sound theorising. It thus helps clear up conceptual fuzziness and presses scholarship forward.” *Nathalie Karagiannis is a poet and a researcher at the Institut für Sozialforschung in Frankfurt, Germany * “The contributors to this collection pursue a question that is as necessary as it is audacious: Can we inhabit and recuperate the dominant discourses of “crisis” for the purposes of critique? Put differently, they dare to ask: Is it possible to rescue from this pervasive and dreary language of “crisis” the promise of the “otherwise.” These engagements with the normalization of “crisis” across the Mediterranean region demand that we remain alert to the unforeseen sociopolitical, cultural, and artistic possibilities. This volume thus reveals anew how the Mediterranean crisis-scape may yet serve as an experimental space for a differential present and alternative futures.” *Nicholas De Genova, editor of The Borders of “Europe”: Autonomy of Migration, Tactics of Bordering (2017)* “This volume offers much-needed insights into the various turbulent events that have troubled Mediterranean countries in recent years. Besides valuable analyses of socio-political developments in specific countries and the "crisis-scapes" surrounding them as well as artistic and literary responses to these developments, the texts in this volume critically scrutinize the role of the term "crisis" in managing border regimes and framing public narratives about these events.” *Stijn De Cauwer, editor of Critical Theory at a Crossroads (Columbia UP 2018)* _______________________________________________ List-Info: https://maillists.uci.edu/mailman/listinfo/mgsa-l
