Some thoughts on the Greek fires (In Greek) by Dimitra Karantzeni 2008-04-29

Posted on by ovithanos

Το περυσινό καλοκαίρι, χιλιάδες συμπολίτες μας έζησαν εφιαλτικές στιγμές. Είδαν το βιός τους να τυλίγεται στις φλόγες, πολλοί από αυτούς έχασαν και την ίδια τους τη ζωή, εκατοντάδες οικογένειες ξεκληρίστηκαν. Ο κρατικός μηχανισμός για άλλη μία φορά επιβεβαίωσε την ανικανότητά του. Κι αφού η Ελλάδα μετρούσε τους νεκρούς της, ο Πρωθυπουργός της χώρας, φόρεσε τα … More Some thoughts on the Greek fires (In Greek) by Dimitra Karantzeni 2008-04-29

Posted on by ovithanos

Hello to all, I’ll start by apologising to everyone for Greece’s celebrity status monopolising the media. I assure you I’m getting increasingly annoyed too and hope for this to change as soon as possible. I’m here to hopefully not bore you with a long text and I will only use a bit of time to … More Thoughts and facts about measures and memorandums By Bahal Yabastasov 2015-07-05

The political character of Social Media: How do Greek Internet users perceive and use social networks? by Dimitra Karantzeni 2014-09-02

Posted on by ovithanos

Mass media, due to their symbolic character as well as their level of penetration into every aspect of social life, play a significant role in the formation of identity. According to Mezek (2011, p. 7), they have a triple role: “an information broker, arena for ideas and a community sustainer”, or in other words, they … More The political character of Social Media: How do Greek Internet users perceive and use social networks? by Dimitra Karantzeni 2014-09-02

Legacy from the Greeks by David Sparenberg 2012-11-13

Posted on by ovithanos

The problem with wisdom, if I may say so, is that it represents itself as “utterance complete,” “articulation absolute.”  One commits it to memory.  With a steel stylus wisdom is engraved in the mind; with an iron spike nailed to the heart.  Then, as wisdom intends, it is as firm as the ground you stand … More Legacy from the Greeks by David Sparenberg 2012-11-13

Proud to be Greek (?) by Dimitra Karantzeni 2011-12-09

Posted on by ovithanos

The last months, every day in Greece, is a new day, but this comes with the worst meaning possible. And that is simply because, no one, and I’m talking about the citizens of my country, hardly knows whether new decisions, legislations or politics, announced as new mandatory and inevitable measures, arising from our debt obligations … More Proud to be Greek (?) by Dimitra Karantzeni 2011-12-09

Listening on the Greek radio the latest news from Athens and all about the clashes between the people and the police I got a mail from a friend contributor saying: I’m very concerned about what is happening in Greece right now; my best thoughts and prayers are with you and yours and your lovely, historical … More The Greek economy and my friend Giorgos by Thanos Kalamidas 2011-06-30

Some thoughts about UN and Zimbabwe by Thanos Kalamidas 2009-11-10

Posted on by ovithanos

The other day browsing the news I somehow felt how thin is the line that can transform you from somebody seeking for peace and equality to a total war vulture and I have to admit that the thought really scared me and reminded me how many crimes have happened in the name of peace. What … More Some thoughts about UN and Zimbabwe by Thanos Kalamidas 2009-11-10

It’s that time of the year when all of us are somewhere between our summer holidays and trying to get back to work, and I have to admit that besides my wish to win the lotto or something like that … More The Greek 7 by Thanos Kalamidas – Issue 7
