Pavlos Moulios, The “birth” of the consumer culture in the Greek 1950's

As consumption is a dominant feature of modern market society that is dynamically inaugurated in Europe after World War II, the Greek social, political, and cultural paradigm offers a particular research interest in procedures, rhetoric, media and the degree of acceptance of consumer life which is promoted in a country which throughout the 1950s tries to recover financially and politically from the Second World War and the civil war that followed, in a decade of intense political and social opposition. My presentation delves into mapping the phenomenon of consumption from the perspective of cultural studies in the case of Greece during the transitional decade of 1950s. An upmost importance is placed on my primary sources, mainly popular culture magazines where the consumer lifestyle is built and promoted to the Greek audience. However, films, articles, official reports and literature relevant to my research are also examined.

Katerina Sergidou, Carnival, Feminism, Hegemony: Ethnographing in the city of Cadiz, Andalusia

This thesis is concerned with the study of carnival in the Andalusian city of Cadiz and its histories of contestation of power relations from an anthropological and feminist perspective. Carnival is examined as a field for the performance and expression of embodied hegemonic practices in relation to gender, as a stage for the performance of power and gender relations, and as an expression of a historically shaped popular culture. The study focuses on carnival histories of contestation, beginning with the era of democratization of carnival as well as the Transition from dictatorship to democracy (1977) to the present. The study also takes into account the autoethnographic present of the researcher, who participates as an equal memberin a women's carnival group. The Carnival of Cadiz in Spain is selected as an entry point to examine the relationship between the political and the cultural, a relationship in which moments of feminist hegemony can be identified. In Cadiz, a new feminist and agonistic carnival tradition is emerging that goes beyond the local, as it feeds on the feminist movements that have been rapidly developing in the Spanish State in recent years. The lecture also reflects on a feminist methodology in historical and anthropological research.
