The Genocide of the Greeks in Turkey

Genocide in the Ottoman Empire
The final years of the Ottoman Empire were catastrophic ones for its non-Turkish, non-Muslim minorities. From 1913 to 1923, its rulers deported, killed, or otherwise persecuted staggering numbers of citizens in an attempt to preserve “Turkey for the Turks,” setting a modern precedent for how a regime can commit genocide in pursuit of political ends while largely escaping accountability. While this brutal history is most widely known in the case of the Armenian genocide, few appreciate the extent to which the Empire’s Assyrian and Greek subjects suffered and died under similar policies. This comprehensive volume is the first to broadly examine the genocides of the Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks in comparative fashion, analyzing the similarities and differences among them and giving crucial context to present-day calls for recognition.
The Greek Genocide in American Naval War Diaries
This book is a gripping collection of American naval war diaries recently found in the National Archives about what was happening on the northern coast of Turkey in 1921-1922.

The Arts of Imprisonment
The arts - spanning the visual, design, performing, media, musical, and literary genres - constitute an alternative lens through which to understand state-sanctioned punishment and its place in public consciousness. Perhaps this is especially so in the case of imprisonment: its nature, its functions, and the ways in which these register in public perceptions and desires, have historically and to some extent inherently been intertwined with the arts. But the products of this intertwinement have by no means been constant or uniform. Indeed, just as exploring imprisonment and its public meanings through the lens of the arts may reveal hitherto obscured instances of social control within or outs...

Musical Nationalism, Despotism and Scholarly Interventions in Greek Popular Music
This book discusses the relationship between Greek Orthodox ecclesiastical music and laiko (popular) song in Greece. Laiko music was long considered a lesser form of music in Greece, with rural folk music considered serious enough to carry the weight of the ideologies founded within the establishment of the contemporary Greek state. During the 1940s and 1950s, a selective exoneration of urban popular music took place, one of its most popular cases being the originating relationships between two extremely popular musical pieces: Vasilis Tsitsanis's “Synnefiasmeni Kyriaki” (Cloudy Sunday) and its descent from the hymn “Ti Ypermacho” (The Akathist Hymn). During this period the connection of these two pieces was forged in the Modern Greek conscience, led by certain key figures in the authority system of the scholarly world. Through analysis of these pieces and the surrounding contexts, Ordoulidis explores the changing role and perception of popular music in Greece.
Greek Rebetiko from a Psychocultural Perspective
Greek Rebetiko from a Psychocultural Perspective: Same Songs Changing Minds examines the ways in which audiences in present-day Greece and Turkey perceive and use the Greek popular song genre rebetiko to cultivate specific cultural habits and identities. In the past, rebetiko has been associated chiefly with the lower strata of Greek society. But Daniel Koglin approaches the subject from a different perspective, exploring the mythological and ritual aspects of rebetiko, which intellectual elites on both sides of the Aegean Sea have adapted to their own world views in our age of globalized consumption. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods from ethnomusicology, ritual studies, concep...
Begegnungen in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart
Begegnung ist Martin Tamcke wichtig und steht im Mittelpunkt seines Wirkens. Begegnung kann ganz unterschiedlicher Natur sein: Sie geschieht in der historisch-exegetischen Auseinandersetzung mit Texten der Vergangenheit ebenso wie in der persönlichen Erfahrung mit Menschen und deren Religion und Kultur vor Ort. Wie facettenreich Begegnungen im Wirken des Göttinger Theologieprofessors waren und sind, zeigen die Beiträge zur "freundschaftlichen" Festgabe anlässlich seines 60. Geburtstages: Sie reichen von Indien über China bis nach Äthiopien, vom Nachdenken über das Schriftverständnis von Maximus Confessor bis hin zum evangelischen Gemeindewachstum in China oder zur gegenwärtigen Situation im Nahen Osten.
