This work is concerned with tracing the historical development of the various functions of the Modern Greek connective pu. This connective has a considerable range of functions, and there have been attempts in the literature to group together these functions in a synchronically valid framework. It is my contention that the most illuminating way of regarding the functional diffusion of pu—and of any content word—is by looking, not only at one synchronic distribution (that of Standard Modern Greek), but at the full range of synchronic distributions in the sundry diatopic variants (dialects) of Modern Greek, and that such a discussion must be informed by the diachrony of the form. / This I attempt to do within the framework of grammaticalisation theory, whereby the development of grammatical forms is considered in the context of reanalysis and analogical extension of forms. As a diachronicist model, this allows for fluidity between function distinctions, and puts in place a historically-oriented alignment of semantic transitions which a strictly synchronicist account would miss. Work on pu has already been done in this framework; however, such work has considered the distribution of pu in Standard Greek alone, with only a brief consideration of its ancient antecedents. I contend that the picture formed of its distribution under such constraints leads to several false generalisations. / In order to arrive at a truer picture of the factors determining the development of pu, there are three facets that need to be considered in detail: / (a) its synchronic distribution in Standard Modern Greek, a variant for which extensive corpora and native speaker judgements are readily available; / (b) its distribution in the various modern dialects—to establish the possible diversification of developments for the particle, and to ensure that one potential pathway is not privileged as a universal tendency at the expense of other, divergent developments (a problem identifiable in treatments of this topic, hitherto looking only at the standard language); / (c) a detailed investigation of the use of the etymon of the particle— hópou—in Ancient Greek. It is one of the major contentions of grammaticalisation theory that the past meaning of a particle influences its subsequent meanings. In order to test the relevance of this principle fully, it is necessary to investigate the functionality of hópou not in isolation, but in the context of the entire Ancient Greek grammatical system. / Due to time and scope constraints, I attempt only these first three tasks in this thesis. I do not attempt a detail look at areal diffusion or the mediaeval Greek semantic transitions involved, nor at the use of pu in collocation.

Η μελέτη της νεοελληνικής λογοτεχνίας είναι οργανωμένη σε ικανοποιητικό βαθμό στο θέμα της σύστασης εμπεριστατωμένων βιβλιογραφικών έργων. Ωστόσο, δεν υπάρχει ειδική βιβλιογραφία που να καταγράφει έργα, πρωτότυπα ή μεταφρασμένα, τα οποία εντάσσονται στον «ελληνικό Ανατολισμό». Στόχος της παρούσας μελέτης, είναι να καταγραφούν, όσο το δυνατόν πιο συστηματικά, τα λογοτεχνικά έργα που συνδέονται με την Ανατολή και δημοσιεύονται στη διάρκεια του 19ου αιώνα. Στις σελίδες της παρούσας διπλωματικής μεταπτυχιακής εργασίας επιχειρείται μια πρώτη καταγραφή του ανατολικού στοιχείου στη νεοελληνική λογοτεχνία του 19ου αιώνα. Περιλαμβάνονται λογοτεχνικά κείμενα σε αυτοτελείς εκδόσεις, καθώς και σε περιοδικά της περιόδου. Συμπεριλαμβάνονται τα μεταφρασμένα κείμενα από την ευρωπαϊκή γραμματεία όπως και κείμενα που μεταφράστηκαν στα ελληνικά κατευθείαν από τις γραμματείες ανατολικών χωρών, όπως η Τουρκία, η Περσία, η Ινδία κ.ά. Σε εισαγωγικό κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζεται και σχολιάζεται η πορεία του ανατολικού στοιχείου στην ελληνική γραμματεία από τις απαρχές της επαφής του Ελληνισμού με πολιτισμούς της Ανατολής ως τα τέλη του 19ου αιώνα. Το κύριο μέρος της μελέτης ξεκινά με την καταγραφή ελληνικών λογοτεχνικών κειμένων με ανατολικά στοιχεία. Προτάσσονται οι αυτοτελείς εκδόσεις και ακολουθούν οι δημοσιεύσεις στα οικογενειακά φιλολογικά περιοδικά. Στη συνέχεια καταγράφονται οι μεταφράσεις λογοτεχνικών κειμένων από τις γραμματείες της Ανατολής, που αντλούν από τα πρωτότυπα έργα, ή από μεταφορές τους σε ευρωπαϊκές γραμματείες. Προτάσσονται και πάλι οι αυτοτελείς εκδόσεις και έπονται οι δημοσιεύσεις σε περιοδικά. Πρέπει να διευκρινιστεί πως σε ξεχωριστά υποκεφάλαια περιλαμβάνονται τα έργα που έχουν μεταφραστεί ήδη και τον 19ο αιώνα ανατυπώνονται, τα έργα που μεταφράζονται για πρώτη φορά τον συγκεκριμένο αιώνα, καθώς και τα έργα που έφτασαν στην ελληνική γραμματεία μέσω ευρωπαϊκών διάμεσων μεταφράσεων, αν και συχνά η γλώσσα διαμέσου η προτύπου δεν είναι γνωστή. Η καταγραφή λογοτεχνικών έργων ολοκληρώνεται με τα κείμενα ανατολικού περιεχομένου που προέρχονται από την ευρωπαϊκή γραμματεία και μεταφράζονται στα ελληνικά. Σε ξεχωριστό κεφάλαιο καταγράφονται οδοιπορικά κείμενα και ταξιδιωτικές εντυπώσεις, είτε αυτοτελείς, είτε δημοσιευμένες σε οικογενειακά φιλολογικά περιοδικά, από Έλληνες, Ευρωπαίους και άλλους περιηγητές, που επισκέφθηκαν διάφορες χώρες της Ανατολής ή έζησαν για χρόνια εκεί και θέλησαν να μοιραστούν τις εμπειρίες τους με το αναγνωστικό κοινό της εποχής. Ακολουθεί η ενότητα με τις «ευσύνοπτες μορφές» (παροιμίες, γνωμικά και τα αποφθέγματα) ανατολικής προέλευσης που εντοπίστηκαν στα περιοδικά. Η καταγραφή ολοκληρώνεται με ένα καταληκτικό κεφάλαιο, όπου παρουσιάζονται τα συμπεράσματα που προκύπτουν από την έρευνα. Σε όλες τις κατηγορίες το υλικό παρουσιάζεται χρονολογικά. Πρόσθετα στοιχεία που αφορούν κείμενα, συγγραφείς ή μεταφραστές, τα οποία συγκεντρώθηκαν από τη δευτερεύουσα βιβλιογραφία ή αντλήθηκαν από αυτοψία των κειμένων παρατίθενται σε σύντομο σχόλιο, κάτω από το βιβλιογραφικό λήμμα. / The study of modern Greek literature is organized satisfactorily in establishing detailed bibliographical works. However, there is no scientific bibliographical work to literature works, original or translated, which correspond to the "Greek Orientalism." The aim of this thesis is to record as consistently as possible, the literary works associated with the East and published during the 19th century. In the pages of this diplomatic thesis is attempted a first inventory of the eastern component in modern literature of the 19th century. It includes literary texts that are publicated separately or in literary magazines of the period. It also includes literary works from European literature as texts translated into Greek by the literature of eastern countries such as Turkey, Persia, India etc. In the introductory chapter is presented and commented the progress of the eastern elements in Greek literature from the beginnings of the contact between Greeks and civilizations of the East until the late 19th century. The main part of the thesis begins by recording Greek literary texts with oriental elements. Preceded in separate versions, followed by publications in literary magazines. Then follows the record of the translated literary texts from eastern literature, which derive from the original works, or transfer in European registries. Preceded again separate versions, followed by publications in journals. It should be noted that separate sections include projects that have already been translated and reprinted in the 19th century. The bibliography ends with literary texts with eastern content from European literature that are translated into Greek. In a separate chapter are recorded travel documents and travel impressions by Greeks, Europeans and other travelers who have visited various countries of East or had lived there for years and wanted to share their experiences with literature readers. In the same chapter is also a section with proverbs and aphorisms that have Eastern origin and were found in the literary magazines. The bibliography ends with a conclusive chapter, which presents the findings of this research. In all categories the material is presented chronologically. Additional information on texts, authors or translators is placed in the brief comment under the bibliographic entry.

This dissertation presents the findings of an investigation of adnominal possession and ditransitives on the basis of data from Modern Greek. The general thesis of the dissertation is that possessive DPs constitute nominal counterparts to ditransitive constructions. Greek ditransitives consist of double object constructions and prepositional dative constructions, which are analyzed as low applicatives; the former with possessive properties, the latter with locative. Double object constructions, unlike prepositional datives, are associated with restrictions concerning animacy, affectedness and number features on the recipient. A-movement (a)symmetries in ditransitives are argued to reduce to underlying phase structure and the movement properties of the applicative head. The dissertation shows that the possessive/locative dichotomy associated with Greek ditransitives is reproducible in the realm of adnominal possession. Prenominal possessors pattern both syntactically and semantically with dative recipients in double object constructions, while postnominal possessors display affiliation with PP-recipients in prepositional dative constructions. Binding diagnostics furthermore indicate two distinct Small Clause structures for Greek possessive DPs, syntactically identical with the structure of ditransitives.

The focus of this thesis is to trace the dialogue between the Greek cinéma d' auteur and Greek literature focusing on film adaptations of Greek literature from 1964 to 2001. It is argued that film adaptations are a sensitive prism through which to examine the auteurs’ cultural politics regarding their work and, through that, understand the economy of the auteurist cultural production itself. The thesis consists of five chapters. Chapter One presents the history of the creation of the Greek cinéma d' auteur and traces its developments in relation to the concepts of national and high art. The principle argument is that Greek literature, endowed with notions of high art and national identity, played a key role in the gradual emergence, formation and consolidation of auteurism as a cinema that enunciates national identity and articulates high art values. The next four chapters examine four film adaptations each made by an acclaimed auteur. The chapters endeavour to investigate the identity politics of each director in relation to the categories of high and national art that defined the Greek cinéma d' auteur. Moreover, the chapters aim to study the politics involved in the validation or renegotiation of auteurism itself. The major contribution of the thesis is the exploration of film adaptations of Greek literature in the Greek cinéma d' auteur which has not been systematically discussed so far. Furthermore, the investigation of the two separate components that make up the subject of the thesis, namely cinema and literature, both from a theoretical perspective and within the framework of film studies, aligns the thesis with recent discussions in Modern Greek Studies and theoretical debates about authorship in films, film adaptations as well as peripheral cinemas.

The present thesis examines the way E.M. Forster, Lawrence Durrell, W.H. Auden, Stephen Spender, Joseph Brodsky, and James Merrill appropriated C.P. Cavafy in writings that were disseminated and consumed amongst culturally dominant literary circles, and which eventually determined the Greek-Alexandrian poet’s international reputation. I aim to contribute a new perspective on Cavafy, by evading the text-based tradition of reception studies, and proposing an alternative method of discussing the production of Cavafy's canonical status. Inspired by Pierre Bourdieu's sociological theory, I view literary canonization as involving a variety of factors at play beyond creative achievement: in particular, relationships of 'authorial consecration' whereby writers create and circulate cultural capital through their power to legitimize other artists. The critical and fictional texts I analyse perform readings of Cavafy's poetry alongside imaginative portrayals of the poet's life and personality. I take this complementary relationship - between the image of the poet each author projects and their reading of his work - as a starting point to explore the broader ideas of aesthetics and authorial subjectivity that inform the renderings of Cavafy generated by prominent literary figures. Rather than passive recipients of influence, these figures are considered as active agents in the production of 'Cavafy narratives', appropriating the poet according to their own agendas, while also projecting onto him their own position within the cultural field. Eventually, Cavafy becomes a point of insight into the multiplicity of networks and practices involved in the production of cultural currency; in turn, the study of the construction of Cavafy's authorial identity sheds light on the cumulative processes that have defined the way the poet is read and perceived to the present day. This duality of perspective is essential to a study concerned with the cultural contexts framing the poet's steady rise to international fame throughout the 20th century.

This thesis stakes out to reframe the debates surrounding a widely criticised chapter in the cultural history of modern Greece: the receptions of the classical past under the Dictatorship of 21 April (also known as 'the dictatorship of the Colonels') during the period 1967 to 1973. Informed by the hermeneutics of classical reception studies, I aim to provide a new perspective on the dictatorship, one that focuses on the contemporaneity of its discursive and visual renderings of antiquity, but which departs from a conceptual framework that is dictated by the master narrative of the Cold War (by the polarisations between Right and Left). The project converges on the ideological discourses, educational policies and the mass spectacles of the Colonels, each of which has been designated as fraught with 'ancestoritis' or 'pseudoclassicism' in the literature. In breaking away from value judgments and notions of misappropriation, it is my intention that the project functions as an exercise in a critical levelling with the dictatorship's multifold classicisms. Concomitantly, I propose that in order to better understand the politics of reception of the Aprilians, which have often seemed impenetrable, it is necessary to branch out into more cross-disciplinary methods of enquiry than those that have been employed in the past. My own approach borrows analytical tools from theories of counter-intelligence, cultural studies, political theory, educational sociology and performance studies. With this exploratory patchwork, the present study hopes to contribute toward opening up a field on which it is possible to examine the dictatorship on its own terms, while taking into account the composite articulations of antiquity with power, upward social mobility, economic development, and entertainment and leisure culture in 1960s Greece.
