Greek-Turkish Literary Encounters: Literature and Politics in the Late Ottoman Empire is the topic discussed by Natasha Lemos and Catherine Boura at the Gennadius Library, American School of Classical Studies at Athens (19:00, Cotsen Hall, Anapiron Polemou 9, Kolonaki).
The event is part of Muhabbet, an initiative aiming at bringing together scholars, students, and people interested in the shared social history and cultural heritage of the East Mediterranean. Event organizers wish to hold discussions about our common legacies in an informal and friendly environment, like that of the coffeehouses, which originated in the Ottoman East Mediterranean, where people used to come together to develop amicable conversations called muhabbet. The upcoming talk is the fourth event in the series.
The Gennadius has gracefully endorsed the initiative together with the Institute of Historical Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation and the Institute of Hellenic Culture and Liberal Arts, The American College of Greece. No registration is required.
