Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course follows the development of lyric poetry in twentieth-century Greece. We will discuss theories of genre and definitions of the lyric, but always with an emphasis on poetry’s relevance to collective experience and history. We will read together a variety of Greek poetic texts, and explore cultural poetics through time, in light of notions such as national identity and ideology, diaspora and exile, gender and sexuality, colonialism and postcolonialism, canonization, intermediality (literature and photography, literature and music), materiality, tradition, trauma, memory and counter-memory. Major points of reference will be C.P. Cavafy, Georges Seferis, Odysseas Elytis, Giannis Ritsos, Rhea Galanaki, Tzenny Mastoraki, Melpo Axioti.
