Greek and Roman Rhetoric: American Society
built 264 days ago
The Society for the Oral Reading of Greek and Latin Literature will hold its annual informal reading session at the Hilton San Francisco. This session is an opportunity for any annual meeting registrant to read aloud a selection of Greek or Latin literature (maximum 35 lines) before an interested and sympathetic audience. The session is not a contest but is rather a friendly exchange of sounds and ideas among those interested in the effective oral performance of classical literature. If the reader so desires, listeners will offer constructive comments after the reading. All readers are asked to bring 30 photocopies of their texts for distribution. Auditors are cordially welcome.

This talk will focus on the policies of the Greek and the Ottoman states towards immigrants from their territories to America during the period 1875-1912. Both Greece and the Ottoman Empire attempted to use the immigrants to promote their respective state interests to the American public and government. Before WWI, the immigration experience contributed to the consolidation of the fluid identity of the immigrants from the Ottoman Empire, or to the transformation of their preexisting religious identity into a national one. Conflicts among different factions in immigrant communities, as well as the case of the "Panhellenic Union," an organization of Greek-Americans promoted by the Greek State, will serve as examples to illustrate the relation between local leaders and representatives of the Greek Orthodox Church and state.
