Haluatko kävellä Sokrateen, Feidiaan ja Heinrich Schliemannin jalanjäljillä, eläytyä Delfoihin matkanneen antiikin kreikkalaisen mielenmaisemaan, tavata ulkomaisia ja suomalaisia tutkijoita, vierailla upeissa museoissa ja unohtumattomilla arkeologisilla kohteilla sekä kuunnella asiantuntijaluentoja Akropoliin juurella?Silloin sinua saattaisi ehkä kiinnostaa: Antiikin Kreikan johdantokurssi!Suomen Ateenan-instituutti järjestää 18.9.‒22.10.2023 perus- ja aineopintoja suorittaville opiskelijoille tarkoitetun johdantokurssin antiikin Kreikan tutkimukseen ja itäisen Välimeren historiaan ja nykypäivään. Monitieteinen kurssi on tarkoitettu esimerkiksi arkeologian, historian, klassillisen filologian, arkkitehtuurin, filosofian ja taiteentutkimuksen opiskelijoille.Opetus tapahtuu pääasiallisesti arkeologisilla alueilla ja museoissa eri puolilla Kreikkaa, minkä lisäksi kurssiohjelmaan kuuluu runsaasti luentoja. Jokainen kurssille hyväksytty opiskelija kirjoittaa kurssipäiväkirjan tai muun kirjallisen työn ja pitää kurssilla 2 kohde-esittelyä tai alustusta.Kurssille valitaan 8 osanottajaa, joille Suomen Ateenan-instituutin säätiö myöntää 600 euron stipendit matka- ja oleskelukuluihin. Majoitus ja ekskursiot ovat kurssilaisille ilmaisia, kuten myös osa ruokailuista (pitkinä ekskursiopäivinä opiskelijoille tarjotaan joko lounas tai illallinen). Kohteille ja museoihin ryhmä pääsee maksutta. Kurssi vastaa noin 10 opintopisteen opintosuoritusta. Sen korvaavuus on varmistettava omalla laitoksella. Opiskelijoille toimitetaan kurssin lopuksi kirjallinen kurssitodistus.Kurssille haetaan täyttämällä sähköinen hakemuslomake perjantaina 14.4.2023 puoliyöhön mennessä.

Finnish Institute at Athens – Ateenan-instituutti

Finnish Institute at Athens – Ateenan-instituutti
Dr Frederick Whitling gives a lecture on the topic: "'Greek Genius in Roman Body'. Johannes Sundwall, 'the Grand Old Man of Classical Research in Finland', and 'the Great Minoan Riddle'". The subject of the 13th Johannes Sundwall lecture is the man himself, and his role in the history of the scholarship of his time. Johannes Sundwall (1877-1966) was a Finnish scholar of antiquity, docent at the University of Helsinki since 1907 and professor at Åbo Akademi from 1921 to 1945. He had numerous connections especially with the world of German and Italian classical studies, and in 1937 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Athens. Sundwall studied, among other things, the prosopography and social history of Attica, Greek and Latin literature, Linear B writing, and Italian prehistory.
The director of the Finnish Institute at Athens, Petra Pakkanen gives a talk "Philhellenism, ´Friendship with the Greeks´and Nationalistic Ideology of Freedom" in the "Beyond Populism" series organized by the Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes. Pakkanen talks about philhellenism as a phenomenon that was used in several European countries to build national identity, especially in the 19th century. This was also the case in Finland, where the Greek freedom struggle was equated with the country's own project of national awakening and the general idea of the nation's freedom. Philhellenism is a phenomenon that can also be seen in today's political rhetoric. In our own time, there is reason to ask whether the content of philhellenism has changed and how it manifests itself today, when the nation-state way of thinking can slip into nationalism and thus end up being used in a populist way. These questions are answered by historian George Kalpadakis, a member of the Academy of Athens, whom Pakkanen interviews in the final part of the presentation. The lecture part is in Finnish and the following dialogue between the two researchers is in English.
Prof. Antonia (Ada) Dialla gives a lecture on the topic “Russian Philhellenism: Inventing Greece, Reinventing Europe” and a small panel of specialists in philhellenism and its aspects in the Slavic and Baltic as well as Nordic cultural spheres, in particular, will discuss the lecture, elaborating the themes of philhellenism which have received far less scholarly attention than its role in other parts of Europe and beyond. The members of the panel are Elizabeth Fowden, George Kalpadakis, Petra Pakkanen and Mogens Pelt.
