Emiliano J. Buis examines the sources of classical Greece to challenge both the state-centeredness of mainstream international legal history and the omnipresence of war and excessive violence in ancient times. Making ample use of epigraphic as well as literary, rhetorical, and historiographical sources, the book offers the first widespread account of the narrative foundations of the (il)legality of warfare in the classical Hellenic world. In a clear yet sophisticated manner, Buis convincingly proves that the traditionally neglected study of the performance of ancient Greek poleis can contribute to a better historical understanding of those principles of international law underlying the practices and applicable rules on the use of force and the conduct of hostilities

Δεν παρατίθεται περίληψη στα ελληνικά. ; Yiannis Papatheodorou, a The cruel April of 1944»: Fiction, History and Memory in Straus Tsirkas's Drifting Cities Stratis Tsirkas, a distinguished Greek diaspora novelist in Egypt, published his important and controversial trilogy {The Club, Ariagne, The Bat), in the early '60s. The novel is situated in three colonial Mediterranean cities —Jerusalem, Cairo and Alexandria— drifting towards chaos in a war-torn Middle East, during 1942-1944. As far as the plot is concerned, the trilogy is inscribed to the wider context of postwar European literary «master-narratives» elaborating representations of war, Nazism and resistance, and also opening an agenda to the traumatic phenomena of a discontinuous modernity: violence, social repression, exclusion of the Other. This article discusses the politics of history and memory in Stratis Tsirkas's trilogy Drifting Cities in order to show how he problematizes the tropes of historical representation in a dialogical perspective, by focalizing to the Greek military left underground «movement of April 1944». His historical point of view, which clearly can be identified as the «return of the repressed», is related to the questions of an alternative narration about the past, enriched within a critical and deliberating interpretation of the left collective memory.

ΦΑΝΑΤΙΣΜΟΣ, ΔΟΓΜΑΤΙΣΜΟΣ, ΣΥΓΚΡΟΤΗΣΗ ΤΑΥΤΟΤΗΤΑΣ. ΜΙΑ ΠΡΟΣΕΓΓΙΣΗ ΣΤΟ ΛΟΓΟ ΤΩΝ ΣΧΟΛΙΚΩΝ ΕΓΧΕΙΡΙΔΙΩΝ
Δεν παρατίθεται περίληψη στα Ελληνικά. ; En s'appuyant sur un échantillon de manuels scolaires grecs de lecture et d'histoire utilisés dans l'école primaire par excellence, cette étude cherche à suivre les manifestations de fanatisme nationaliste de 1880 à nos jours. Du point de vue analytique on distingue trois étapes: la construction et l'adoption d'une identité nationale; l'ethnocentrisme dogmatique; le chauvinisme fanatique qui se distingue par l'agressivité et le support de la violence envers l'ccautre». On constate que les ennemis de la nation grecque ont été déjà définis avant les guerres balkaniques mais que le fanatisme envers eux dans les manuels scolaires connaît des fluctuations suivant la conjoncture politique (guerre froide, danger communiste et slave etc.). Pendant la dictature des colonels d'ailleurs apparaît dans les manuels le fanatisme contre un ennemi intérieur, l'«autre)> politique et social, les communistes. Après la chute de la dictature cependant, et malgré les survivances d'ethnocentrisme, les manifestations fanatiques disparaissent.
