Update: 2022 Summer Seminars, New Seminar, January 7 Deadline

by ASCSA Programs

ASCSA SUMMER SEMINARS DEADLINE: January 7, 2022 The Summer Seminars of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens are 18-day programs that focus on specific cultural themes, historical periods, or geographical regions. The Seminars are led by exceptional scholars of Classics and related fields. Under their direction, participants study texts, visit archaeological sites and museums, and engage with expert guest speakers in order to deepen their understanding of Greece’s landscape, history, literature, and material culture. For Summer 2022, the two seminars are: Thanatopsis: Greek Funerary Customs Through the Ages (June 6 to June 24, 2022) This seminar will introduce its members to the wide range of Greek funeral customs and monuments, methods of burial, inscriptions, curse tablets, funerary offerings and rituals, and conceptions of death, from antiquity to the present. Participants will visit a wide range of sites and museums in Attica, Boeotia, the Argolid, and Crete to get a sense of the variety of mortuary practices and remains. Taught by Professor Daniel B. Levine (University of Arkansas). The Northern Aegean: Macedon and Thrace (June 30 to July 18, 2022) In this seminar, participants will explore the Northern Aegean region during various time periods. The history of Macedon and Thrace bridges the East and West and offers a glimpse into some of the most significant developments in Greek history, such as colonization, cross-cultural relations, the Persian Wars, Athenian hegemony, and the rise of Macedon. Taught by Professors Amalia Avramidou (Democritus University of Thrace) and Denise Demetriou (University of California, San Diego). Internationally known scholars of Greek history, art, and archaeology will participate as guest lecturers in both seminars. Students are expected to give on-site reports, which they will prepare in their home libraries before the program begins. Committed to presenting a comprehensive view of Greece's rich history and archaeology, these seminars involve long days and extensive walking in the hot Mediterranean summer, and participants should be prepared for a rigorous program of study. Eligibility: Enrollment is open to graduate and advanced undergraduate students, as well as to high school and college instructors of classics and related subjects. Each seminar is limited to twenty participants. The language of instruction is English. Applicants who are not enrolled or teaching at English-speaking institutes, or schools, may be required to supply evidence of proficiency in English. Cost: The fee for each summer 2022 Seminar is $2,750. This includes tuition, room for the entire 18-day period, partial board in Athens, travel within Greece, and museum and site fees. International airfare, most meals outside Athens and weekends in Athens, and incidental expenses are the participant's responsibility. Financial aid is available in the form of ASCSA scholarships, awarded on the basis of academic merit, and many classical professional organizations have funding opportunities. More information at https://www.ascsa.edu.gr/programs/summer-session/ss-scholarships <https://www.ascsa.edu.gr/programs/summer-session/ss-scholarships>. Inquire about course credit option. Application: Applicants will complete an online application, for which they will submit scans of academic transcripts (unofficial transcripts are acceptable) and arrange for the online submission of two letters of recommendation by the application deadline, January 7, 2022.

Special Harvard Zoom event: "Gatsos in Translation" December 8th

by Lesage, Rhea Karabelas

GATSOS IN TRANSLATION Join us for this extraordinary Zoom event! Date: Wednesday, December 8, 2021 Time: 12pm EST, 7pm EET chs.harvard.edu/gatsos-celebration<https://chs.harvard.edu/gatsos-celebration> Harvard Library joins Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies and the Department of the Classics to celebrate the birthday of Greek poet Nikos Gatsos and the launch of the Gatsos Translation Project. Internationally acclaimed singer Nana Mouskouri, close friend and collaborator of Gatsos, will be the guest of honor among the panel of distinguished speakers<https://chs.harvard.edu/event/gatsos-celebration/#speakers>. Mouskouri will talk about her experience musically interpreting Gatsos's lyrics. Professor Panagiotis Roilos, Harvard's George Seferis Professor of Modern Greek Studies, will speak on the significance of Gatsos himself. Professor Johanna Hanink (Brown University) and Dr. Nicolas Prevelakis (Harvard Social Studies and Center for Hellenic Studies), will talk with Agathi Dimitrouka, the poet's literary executor and a translator and lyricist in her own right, on translation and the Greek language. Harvard Library's 2018 acquisition<https://library.harvard.edu/about/news/2018-06-11/nikos-gatsos-archive-harv…> of the archive of avant-garde Greek poet and lyricist Nikos Gatsos (1911-1992) has been widely celebrated by the Harvard community and beyond, with concerts in Cambridge and Washington D.C., lectures, panel presentations, and receptions. On December 8th Harvard Library will join the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies and the Department of the Classics to celebrate the 110th birthday and legacy of this great twentieth century icon of Greek culture and to acknowledge both his songmaking and his work as a translator. The celebratory event will introduce the Nikos Gatsos Archive online platform<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gatsosarchive.org_&d=D…> developed by Harvard's Center for Hellenic Studies. This electronic resource will serve primarily as a tool to discover and access the poet's rich collection of manuscripts, typescripts, notebooks, correspondence, photographs, and musical recordings held at the Houghton Library, once these materials have been digitized. It will also connect users to research and teaching activities relating to the poet. We hope that this unique resource will promote the work of Gatsos across borders and encourage transformative uses of the Library's archive. One such innovative use provides a second occasion, in addition to the poet's birthday, for next week's celebration: the initial release of the Gatsos Translation Project<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gatsosarchive.org_song…>,, which is the first segment of the online platform to be completed. The Translation Project offers the text of all the songs of Nikos Gatsos and invites the user to engage with the Greek language through the medium of these lyrics. It will provide a forum for students and lovers of Greek music alike to translate the verses into their own language. The songs on this site can also be used by teachers of modern Greek as source texts in their classrooms. This event will take place online via Zoom and will be live streamed to the CHS YouTube Channel<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.youtube.com_channe…>. -//- Rhea K.
