Περιγραφή

by Associate Professor Nicholas Doumanis, of History at the University of New South Wales.

Venue: Wheeler Centre (176 Little Lonsdale Street Melbourne)

Date: Tuesday 9 April 7:00pm

Entry: Free.

After the destruction of Smyrna in 1922, the last Greek Orthodox Christians in Anatolia were deported to Greece. For decades afterwards, the refugees retained a love for their homeland. Many also retained a love for lost communities which they shared with the local Muslims. The lecture will consider the shared lives of Muslims and Christians in Anatolia. It will consider how they shared village and neighbourhood spaces, and why they appeared to value coexistence. It will also explain how these worlds of coexistence were destroyed, arguing that the destruction was induced from extraneous factors.

Nicholas Doumanis is an Associate Professor of history at the University of New South Wales. He has written two previous books on Greece: Myth and Memory in the Mediterranean (Macmillan, 1997), for which he won the Fraenkal Prize, and A History of Greece (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010). He has just published a book on the Ottoman Greeks called Before the Nation (Oxford, 2013). He is currently working on the Mediterranean world and on the Greek migrants in Australia.

The Wheeler Centre

A Victorian Government initiative and the centrepiece of Melbourne’s designation as a UNESCO City of Literature.

Our City of Literature status is not about Dickens on the tram, Nabokov in the Great Southern Stand or a Bronte or two over breakfast. It’s a recognition and celebration of Melbourne’s passionate readers.

We’re home to many of Australia’s best and best-loved writers, past and present. We host an extraordinary network of booksellers, a diverse publishing culture and a vibrant community of thinkers.

Being a City of Literature is about engagement locally and globally. Because there’s a public conversation going on: in our papers and online, on our TVs and radios, in our workplaces and homes. Books, writing and ideas flow through Melbourne and there is something for everyone.

Melbourne has a new kind of cultural institution. The Wheeler Centre – a centre dedicated to the discussion and practice of writing and ideas. Through a year-round programme of talks and lectures, readings and debates, we invite you to join the conversation.
