Editorial Review

Product Description
The main premise of the book is that economic, cultural, political and institutional factors are necessary to fully understand and analyze national media policy developments and impacts, such as deregulation and/or privatization, government and judiciary oversight, media concentration, cultural imperialism, and even profitability. One of its main objectives is to assess the impact of core political and social institutions on regulatory structures and performance in order to derive some generalizations and/or conclusions about the reasons behind some of the developments in European audiovisual policymaking, as well as the performance of regulation in different national settings. Greece is used as a case study to both illustrate how different economic, cultural, political and institutional forces interact and affect each other in reshaping the audiovisual industry, and also address the gap in the literature regarding the development of the TV industry in small European countries. In confronts these developments as an integral part of deregulatory developments all over Europe. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great in all aspects
Well Karamanis has done a great job. First, I could not find any book or paper that had so much information concerning the development of the TV industry in small European countries, as to be aided with my own research.

Second, although the book is concentrated on the Greek case, it is not difficult to follow Karamanis' example as to draw useful conclusions on a larger scale, especially considering the impact of deregulatory developments all over Europe on TV developments.

The book certainly fills a gap in the international media policy literature, and above all provides an extremely helpful insight in understanding national media policy developments and impacts.

4-0 out of 5 stars A gap filled, by Demetris Kamaras, City University (London)
'The Role of Culture and Political Institutions in Media Policy' by Theomary Karamanis has added a golden brick on the wall of international media policy literature.

Karamanis argues that economic, cultural, political and institutional factors are necessary to fully understand and analyze national media policy developments and impacts. Greece is used as a case study to illustrate how different economic, cultural, political and institutional forces interact and affect each other in reshaping the audiovisual industry. Although initially the Greek example may sound quite specific for the global audience, the book earns its significance since it fills a long standing gap in the literature. It offers a well documented insight as regards the development of the TV industry in small European countries, confronting these developments as an integral part of deregulatory developments all over Europe.

The book definitely draws new frontiers for the Greek media literature, which in the past has examined media policy primarily through a narrow sectoral prism. Considering the generally limited English-written, in-depth research of the Greek media scene, editions of this sort are valuable pieces of knowledge for those interested in policy matters of the evolving media industry. It critically covers a landmark period of the Greek media industry, which was characterized by the liberalization of television, the growth of the private market and the formation of an unstable regulatory regime that characterized all further developments. The author analyses the broadcasting and regulatory context in Greece and provides a detailed analysis 'of how broadcasting policies were made in the country, by whom, and to whose interests.'

'The role of culture and political institutions in Media Policy' constitutes essential reading for all involved in media education. The book not only acknowledges the increasingly difficulty of media regulation and policy to deal with complex issues in the era of globalization and commercialism, but goes a step further, by stressing the importance of culture as a set of 'informal but broadly accepted norms that constrain the actions of individuals or institutions'. Truly, in the present era, culture should be seen as one of the most important factors that influence media developments not only at local but also at international level.

I surely subscribe to the concluding paragraph of Karamanis, who argues that 'media policy in the future will need more than ever to be informed by imaginative and independent research, in which the old models of analysis are superceded in favor of economic, cultural, political and institutional factors on media developments'. And indeed Karamanis does just that. ... Read more

Product Description

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Semantics and Digital Media Technologies, SAMT 2006, held in Athens, Greece in December 2006.

The 17 revised full papers presented together with a invited keynote paper were carefully reviewd and selected from 68 submissions. SAMT 2006 targets to narrow the `Semantic Gap', i.e. the large disparity between the low-level descriptors that can be computed automatically from multimedia content and the richness and subjectivity of semantics in user queries and human interpretations of audiovisual media. The papers address a wide area of integrative research on new knowledge-based forms of digital media systems, semantics and low-level multimedia processing.

Product Description

The Asia Minor Campaign remains one of the most disastrous episodes of modern Greek history. The retreat of the Greek army after being routed by Turkish nationalist forces in Anatolia in 1922 was a catastrophic event. Yet, as this meticulously researched study of Athenian newspapers from 1919 to 1922 makes apparent, the bulk of the Greek press created the illusion that all was well at the front and hid the reality of impending disaster. Here Eglezou presents these familiar events through a dramatic new perspective: the role and content of the Athenian press as a means of propaganda. The reporting of the pro- and anti-government press is closely rendered to provide fascinating insights into why a delusory policy was pursued to the bitter end. With a comprehensive account of the Campaign, Eglezou adds a new dimension to our understanding of the history of modern Greece, as well as the relationship between the press and politics more generally.

Product Description
Media sport constitutes a significant arena within which discourses about national identities are continually articulated. This monograph analyses the football commentaries of the matches in which the Greece national football team competed during Euro 2004. Its focus is on the discursive means that the sportscasters deployed with a view to constructing a national identity that promoted unification and solidarity amongst the audience. In parallel, it explores how the representatives of this national collectivity, i.e. the footballers, their coach and the fans, were depicted. Adopting a discourse-historical framework (Reisigl and Wodak 2001; Wodak et al. 1999), it becomes evident that the sportscasters show great support for their home team forging points of identification with the audience. In doing so, they confirm the ideological power that media sport has in generating, reinforcing and disseminating national identities. The study will especially benefit students, instructors and researchers in discourse analysis, media studies, and sports sociology. ... Read more

Product Description

This book explores the changing fortunes of the heroes of Greek myth and history in the melting pot of popular culture. Using little-known examples, classicist and film fan Gideon Nisbet charts the hidden history of Greece in the twentieth-century imagination, from film to science fiction and comics.
 
As the twenty-first century began, no less than seven production companies were declaring their intention to turn Alexander the Great into a wide-screen hero. The rivalry was intense, the resulting media circus unprecedented. How could a long-dead warlord generate so much movie-industry gossip in the present day? And why, in a century of film-making, had so few versions of his story – or that of Troy’s fall – made it to the big screen? When did we last see Classical Athens or Sparta in a movie? In the aftermath of Gladiator (2000), with Hollywood studios rushing to revisit the ancient world with Troy and Alexander (both 2004), these questions take on renewed significance.
 
Nisbet here unpacks the ideas that continue to make Greece hot property in Hollywood. His lively exploration, which assumes no prior expertise in classical or film studies, will appeal to anyone with an interest in ‘reception’: the present day’s continual re-use and re-invention of the past.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Best History of Ancient Greece, Complete Through Alexander
This book was used in the early 80s as the textbook for my Hellenistic States I and II classes in college. It is not a textbook in the manner of having Q&A and other study related stuff embedded at the end of every chapter. It reads very well and is provided with maps and illustrations - in black and white. My instructor for this class who was quite exceptional, regarded Bury as the best possible single volume (here is split into two smaller volumes) history that encompasses such a large section of the Greek word. I agree with him.

The book starts from archeological finds from the Bronze Age and the early Minoan period which was based on the island of Crete. This first section is very archeological in detailing pottery and other finds - that's all they have. The Mycenaean period follows and its subsequent destruction by the sea raiders and other invasions of the Greek mainland. The relationships between Greece and the Lydian kingdom in Asia Minor with the Phoenicians and others are well told detailing both trade and political developments.

The growth and expansion of Athens, Sparta and other Greek states are also very well treated. The book is very good at describing the establishment of the democracy and legal system in Athens and a very different system in Sparta complete with its dual kings and the unique Ephors that are elected and have a power that includes being able to remove a Spartan king. The recent book by Donald Kagan on the subject of the Peloponnesian War does not cover these important details and hence a reader can get lost in his narrative, unless of course they have read Bury or have a basic understanding of the how the ancient Greeks lived.

As the prototype of our form of democracy the history of the Greece states remains important today as when the founding fathers of the United States used the lessons they learned from Greece and applied them to the formation of the American democracy.

Major areas covered in the book include the advance and later defeat of the Persians when they attempted to conquer Greece, the rise and fall of the Athenian Empire in the Peloponnesian War, the hegemony of Sparta and then of Thebes and then a very good section on the rise of Macedon under Philip and then the Alexander's conquest of the Persian empire. This covers a great period of history instilling a great amount of information without being a laborious exercise. The writing style is very good and the illustrations are also excellent. ...

Product Description
Sian Lewis explores the role of news and information in shaping Greek society from the sixth to the fourth centuries, b.c. Applying ideas from the study of modern media to her analysis of the functions of gossip, travel, messengers, inscriptions, and institutions in the polis, she demonstrates that news was a vital concern for the ancient Greeks. Specifically, the acquisition and exchange of information played a key role in determining status and power.

Proceeding from a discussion of individual citizens involved in the exchange of news to an account of more complex forms of communication organized by the polis, Lewis traces the role of what we call news in a culture that was primarily oral. She contrasts the informal exchanges that occurred among travelers and merchants with the official announcements made by heralds and envoys. She also analyzes the motives behind such official announcements and the ways in which the authorities exerted control over the flow of information. Finally, she reconsiders the role of the political assembly and the origins of the public inscription, which has until now been assumed to have been the primary source of news for Greek citizens.
