ΔΙΑΛΕΞΗ ΣΤΟ ΠΑΝΕΠΙΣΤΗΜΙΟ ΤΗΣ ΠΕΝΝΣΥΛΒΑΝΙΑ, ΦΙΛΑΔΕΛΦΕΙΑ

Folk studies in Greece have

played a role both in the

creation of the Greek national

state and in the shaping of

the Greek identity. The

theory of continuity is a key

concept for understanding

these processes.

Dr. Evangelos Gr. Avdikos,

Professor of Folkloristics at the

University of Thessaly, Greece,

researches cultural identities,

narratives, oral history and

memory, and the supernatural.

He has conducted fieldwork with

both Rom children and refugees

from the former Soviet Union.

Refreshments will be served.
