INTENSIVE BYZANTINE GREEK, MODERN GREEK & OTTOMAN TURKISH SUMMER SCHOOL ON IMVROS ISLAND (July 19–August 31 2015)
In the depths of the sea on the cliff
Between Tenedos and craggy Imvros
There is a cave, wide gaping
Poseidon who made the earth tremble,
stopped the horses there.
Homer, The Illiad, Book 13.3
This is how the epic Greek poet Homer tells of Imvros and its surroundings. Throughout its history, the island has served as a bridge between West and East, Christianity and Islam as well as Byzantine and Ottoman. From ancient times until about the twelfth century, the island was inhabited predominantly by ethnic Greeks. Today, Turks constitute the great majority, with only some three hundred Greek residents remaining.
In this intensive, one-of-a-kind summer language program, with an interdisciplinary team consisting of historians, philologists and an archaeologist, we aim to teach the two native tongues of this cultural landscape, Byzantine Greek and Ottoman Turkish, under the same roof.
The intensive Byzantine Greek, Modern Greek, and Ottoman Turkish Summer School on the island of Imvros, Turkey, offers courses focused on reading and translating Greek and Turkish texts both handwritten and printed. Students will develop skills in paleography for reading original archival documents written in different periods and styles. The school is based in Agridia (Tepeköy), one of the island’s predominantly Greek Orthodox villages.
Ottoman Turkish classes are available at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels, while Byzantine Greek classes are available at the intermediate and advanced levels; and Modern Greek classes are available at the beginner and intermediate levels. Classes will be held at the Imroz Greek School (İmroz Rum Okulu). The medium of teaching is English.
The island is well known for its vineyards, goat herding, beaches, as well as now desolated monastic environment which offer a surprise around seemingly every corner. During their stay, students will be able to immerse themselves in Aegean rural life, going on organized field trips twice weekly to archaeological sites, places of natural interest (and beauty), and other locales.
Students will stay in one of the seaside hotels in Uğurlu. All meals, held in the village, are also included in the program costs.
After class, students can ride shuttle buses to the beach or to the island’s villages.
Applications are due 15 June 2015.
Eligibility:
The program is open to students enrolled in graduate programs in art history, archaeology, history with study interests focusing on late antique, Byzantine, medieval and Ottoman studies.
If there are available slots in each class, young academics and independent researchers who would like to improve their reading and translation knowledge in respected languages may also be considered. Along the same lines, applications from senior college students with strong interests in pursuing a graduate career in Byzantine/Ottoman and modern Greek studies in the future will also be considered.
For Ottoman, a knowledge of modern Turkish grammar, an equivalent of one to two-year academic coursework is required. Reading knowledge of Arabic and Persian is recommended.
For Byzantine Greek, a knowledge of ancient Greek grammar, an equivalent of one to two-year academic coursework.
For modern Greek, a basic understanding of the alphabet is necessary.
Academic Credit:
Our program does not grant any credits nor provide transcripts. If students would like to have the course to be counted towards their credits at their home institution, they need to take a final exam. If student passed the exam and participated in the program, a petition letter will be written by program coordinators.
Scholarship:
Our Summer Program has a pending application at the US Department of Education, Center for International Education, Title 6 of Higher Education. If approved, the US citizens can apply for Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) summer scholarships. Students may also apply to summer abroad fellowships and grants through their home institutions to defray the costs of their study on the island.
