Ευρωπαϊκός Πολιτισμός

Διαβάζοντας κανείς το «Κοιμητήριο της Πράγας» αναρωτιέται γιατί έχει προκαλέσει τόσο έντονες αντιδράσεις ένα έργο που συνομιλεί εμφανώς και εξ επιλογής με τα προηγούμενα έργα του και επανέρχεται διεξοδικά σε μια προβληματική με την οποία επανειλημμένα και σε διάφορα επίπεδα έχει ο Έκο ασχοληθεί, την εβραιοφοβία και τον αντισημιτισμό (βλ. λόγου χάρη το κείμενό του στην Guardian, 17.8.2002).

Στις σελίδες που ακολουθούν θα γίνει μια συνοπτική παρουσίαση της εξέλιξης του μυθιστορήματος από τις αρχές του 18ου αιώνα έως τα μέσα του 19ου αιώνα, με έμφαση στον αυτοβιογραφικό λόγο και στο εξομολογητικό μυθιστόρημα. Στη συνέχεια, με βάση αποσπάσματα από τα έργα Εξομολογήσεις του Ρουσσώ και Εξομολογήσεις ενός τέκνου του αιώνα του Ντε Μυσσέ, θα σχολιαστεί το πλαίσιο των πνευματικών τάσεων που επικρατούσαν την εποχή που γράφτηκε το καθένα. Στην τελευταία ενότητα θα γίνει συγκριτική εξέταση των δύο έργων όσον αφορά τη λειτουργία της αυτοβιογραφικής αφήγησης και τον τρόπο που, σε κάθε έργο, παρουσιάζεται το υποκείμενο και η σχέση του με τον κόσμο.

Οι Σχέσεις Ανατολής - Δύσης

Λίστα, κατάλογος, ταξινόμηση, απαρίθμηση. Αλλά και συλλογή και συσσώρευση, την οποία, κατά τον Ουμπέρτο Έκο, που τη χρησιμοποιεί κατά κόρον στα έργα του, τη συναντούμε συνεχώς μπροστά μας, με διαφορετικές μορφές, λεκτικές και οπτικές, ρητορικές, ποιητικές, πρακτικές, ασκούμαστε σ' αυτή από την αρχαιότητα ως τις μέρες μας. Γι' αυτό και ο Ουμπέρτο Έκο τη διάλεξε ως άξονα στις εκδηλώσεις που οργάνωσε επί ένα μήνα πέρσι, τέτοια εποχή, στο Λούβρο. Από όπου και η εξαιρετική αυτή έκδοση, στην οποία ο Έκο μοιράζεται μαζί μας μια σειρά από διαφορετικές λίστες, κοσμημένες με έργα τέχνης που κι αυτά με τη σειρά τους συνιστούν, με κάποιο τρόπο, λίστες οπτικές, έργα ανοιχτά στο άπειρο. Ο Έκο περιγράφει τις πρακτικές λίστες, αυτές με τα ψώνια, τους καλεσμένους στο τραπέζι, τα δώρα, που διαρθρώνουν την καθημερινότητά μας. Τις ορίζει ως λίστες πεπερασμένες, περαιωμένες, με αναφορική λειτουργία, που αναφέρονται δηλαδή σε αντικείμενα του εξωτερικού κόσμου και έχουν στόχο να τα ταξινομήσουν. Τέλος, ως λίστες μη μετατρέψιμες, αφού δεν μπορεί κανείς να προσθέσει στον κατάλογο ενός μουσείου (μάλιστα, και αυτός είναι μια πρακτική λίστα) ένα έργο που δεν υπάρχει στο μουσείο αυτό. Κι αυτές οι πρακτικές λίστες εμφιλοχωρούν στην τέχνη, απεικονίζονται, όπως στον Ντον Τζιοβάνι του Μότσαρτ, με στίχους και μουσική. Πλάι στις άλλες λίστες τις ποιητικές, που δηλώνουν την αδυναμία, το θάμβος του καλλιτέχνη μπροστά στο άπειρο, το ασύλληπτο, το ακατανόμαστο, μπροστά σ' αυτό που δεν μπορεί – ή δεν πρέπει-να μετρηθεί, που πρέπει να οριστεί κατά ουσία, αλλά αυτή η ουσία μας διαφεύγει και καταλήγουμε στις ιδιότητες, στην απαρίθμησή τους.

Στο κείμενο που ακολουθεί -και ίσως σε κάποια επόμενα γιατί το θέμα θεωρώ ότι δεν μπορεί να εξαντληθεί σε αυτές τις γραμμές μόνο- προσπαθώ να δώσω μια σύντομη και όσο γίνεται πιο κατανοητή και περιεκτική απάντηση στο ερώτημα τι είναι και πώς γεννήθηκε ο υπερρεαλισμός στη λογοτεχία, αρχικά στην Ευρώπη και σε επόμενη φάση και στην Ελλάδα (σε επόμενο κείμενο), μιας και είναι αρκετοί αυτοί που με ρωτούν τι είναι τελικά ο υπερρεαλισμός, τι σημαίνει, είναι ο υπερρεαλισμός και ο σουρεαλισμός το ίδιο πράγμα, και αν όχι σε τι διαφέρουν, τι απήχηση έχει τώρα, αν έχει και πώς έχει, σε ποιον βαθμό και άλλα πολλά παρόμοια ερωτήματα. Σε όλα αυτά θα ήθελα πολύ να δώσω μια απάντηση. Την δική μου προσωπική απάντηση πάντα, από τη δική μου οπτική γωνία και ξεπερνώντας και πηγαίνοντας πέρα από τους γνωστούς ορισμούς και προσανατολισμούς στους οποίους και βεβαίως πρέπει αρχικά να «πατήσουμε» για να κατανοήσουμε σε πρώτη φάση τον όρο «υπερρεαλισμός».

Ο Χάμπερμας ορθά εκτιμά ότι οι ηγεσίες οφείλουν να αποκαταστήσουν τους δημοκρατικούς θεσμούς και να επανα-νομιμοποιηθούν, να αποδώσουν και πάλι κυρίαρχο ρόλο στους πολίτες. Για τον ίδιο, αυτό «δεν είναι απλά ένα ζήτημα δημοκρατίας, αλλά αξιοπρέπειας».

On 2/11/2023 ALL MY TWITTER ACOUNTS WERE SUSPENDED.
THIS CAME AFTER I STARTED PUBLICIZINFG INFO ON THE BIGGEST EVER RECRUITING/INTELLIGENCE CRIMINAL NETWORK IN GREEK ACADEMIA SET UP BY USEmbassy Athens and  f. U.S. Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey R. Pyatt! Following this I have been denied access to my LINKEDIN account, MY SOCIAL MEDIA & EMAIL ACCOUNTS WERE COMPROMISED!

Criminal US Intelligence Networks of Impunity in Greek Academia(12/2023)
PART I
In 2019 the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki, Greece) Rector ordered an investigation after I publicly denounced a number of issues regarding transparency and criminal academic networks in academic affairs as well as massive cheating during final exams.
All these years the university authorities and at a later stage the Council of the institution did nothing to publicize the findings of the investigation despite my continuous requests. This very fact sets issues of rule of law and academic order.
In the meantime, I have been consistently targeted in many ways, while my car has been vandalized several times inside the university parking lot. I asked the then Dean (and former Rector) I. Kouskouvelis to take measures and condemn these acts, yet, his response was that this was Not falling within his administrative duties. I guess it was not within his moral, academic obligation to support a fellow academic under attack, either. This is indicative only of the level of democracy I have been cherished for years in University of Macedonia.
In an academic environment where students’ youth organization affiliated to Nea Dimokratia & PM K.Mitsotakis enjoy TOTAL IMMUNITY and IMPUNITY in massive cheating cases publicly acknowledged by students themselves in social media.
Eventually,it was the very same criminal milieu (DAP-UoM) that pulled the strings to change the Department of International & European Studies course load & turned all obligatory courses in 2nd,3rd,4th years to ELECTIVE. Practically there is no obligatory course in the aforementioned years of study.
The initial proposal for this radical change was made by the then Dean I.Kouskouvelis honoured by today’s university authorities despite the fact that he is an INSTIGATOR TO A CRIME committed by a student upon his request. The student started collecting signatures in Google demanding my removal from the department a very aim set by DAP-UoM for years now. Eventually he was forced to confess in Court that its was I. Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean,f.Rector & f.Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki,Greece.
DAP-UoM (New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education)had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds(at least)have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books & simply copy info & answers during the exams(!)without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms & disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university. The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me & “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated & the way they target those who refuse to be their tools

An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment
Critical questions need answers
1. Is impunity a “local”(institutional failure),national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret & I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International & European Studies & the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt?This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this odd visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP & a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police?Why didn’t the only witness to the incident testify? The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens & the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. On speaking out about corruption & clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick & should seek help).To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE . I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis & USEmbassy Athens? How did he use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network)to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency & those exposing clientelist networks?His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization)is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way

Kouskouvelis who asked him to do so!
The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.

3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.

An Academic Institutional Crisis

Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment

Some critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt?

Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify?  The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built.

Περιγραφή:
Η  Ευρώπη  του  21ου  αιώνα  αποτελεί  ένα  θεσμικό  επίτευγμα  της  διακρατικής συνεργασίας  και  της  προσπάθειας  ολοκλήρωσης  μεταξύ  κυρίαρχων  κρατών. Θεμελιώθηκε  στα  πλαίσια  μιας  συναντίληψης  περί  κοινών  συμφερόντων  και υλοποιήθηκε  μέσα  από  τη δημιουργία  κοινών θεσμών.  Ταυτόχρονα  συνιστά έναν γρίφο όσον αφορά την  ικανότητα  της ΕΕ να αποτελέσει  έναν ουσιαστικό πολιτικό δρώντα  με παρεμβατική και κανονιστική δράση  και ικανότητα προβολής ισχύος σε πεδία εκτός αυτού της οικονομίας. Η ΕΕ οικοδομήθηκε μέσα από διαδοχικά στάδια που αντανακλούσαν τις εκάστοτε προτεραιότητες των ευρωπαϊκών πολιτικών ελίτ και τις  συνθήκες  σε  επίπεδο  ευρωπαϊκού  συστήματος  κυρίαρχων  κρατών,  αλλά  και διεθνούς συστήματος. Σήμερα η Ευρώπη αποτελεί μια δύναμη ειρήνης, ωστόσο αυτό δεν υπερκαλύπτει τις αδυναμίες και ανεπάρκειες της στο πολιτικό πεδίο, την ανάγκη δράσης της ως εξισορροπητικού παράγοντα στο μετα-διπολικό διεθνές σύστημα, αλλά και  την  αναγκαιότητα  να  λειτουργήσει ως  ένα  διαπολιτισμικό  και  διαθρησκευτικό
μέσο που θα ενισχύσει την ειρήνη και την ασφάλεια σε διεθνές επίπεδο, απαντώντας ταυτόχρονα στις προκλήσεις της παγκοσμιοποίησης.

(Από την παρουσίαση στο οπισθόφυλλο του βιβλίου)

Στο βιβλίο συμμετέχουν με δικά τους κεφάλαια οι: Πάρης Βαρβαρούσης, Σπύρος Λίτσας, James Mitchell

Η παρούσα Διπλωματική Εργασία διαπραγματεύεται τις βιοηθικές αντιλήψεις στην Ελλάδα και στην Ευρώπη με ιδιαίτερη εστίαση στην υποβοηθούμενη αναπαραγωγή στην οποία εμφανίζεται η εφαρμογή της τεχνολογίας της βιοϊατρικής στην αρχή της ζωής του ανθρώπου.

Αρχικά παρουσιάζεται η έννοια της βιοηθικής και οι διάφορες εκφάνσεις της ανά επιστημονικό πεδίο, όπως τη βιολογία, την ιατρική και την βιοϊατρική. Η σύλληψη της έννοιας της βιοηθικής και η μετέπειτα πορεία της στους αιώνες φανερώνει γιατί είναι απαραίτητη στην σύγχρονη εποχή μας και γιατί θα πρέπει να ρυθμίζεται σε υψηλό νομοθετικό επίπεδο.

Στην συνέχεια παρουσιάζεται η βιολογική πλευρά της βιοηθικής υποστηρίζοντας ότι η πολύ καλή γνώση της βιολογίας μπορεί να επιλύσει βιοηθικά ζητήματα. Τομείς της βιολογίας και της ιατρικής που αναλύονται είναι η μοριακή βιολογία, η γενετική, η εμβρυολογία και η ιατρική ειδικότητα της μαιευτικής και γυναικολογίας με σκοπό να προσεγγιστούν τα βιοηθικά ζητήματα της ιατρικώς υποβοηθούμενης αναπαραγωγής.

Επιπλέον, παρουσιάζεται η κοινωνική πλευρά της βιοηθικής και της υποβοηθούμενης αναπαραγωγής. Ενδιαφέρον εδώ είναι η προσέγγιση της βιοηθικής από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση, του Συμβουλίου της Ευρώπης και άλλων διεθνών οργανισμών. Γίνεται εστίαση στην ευρωπαϊκή νομοθεσία και στα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα. Συγκεκριμένα, παρουσιάζεται η νομοθετική ρύθμιση της υποβοηθούμενης αναπαραγωγής στην Ελλάδα και στα άλλα κράτη-μέλη της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης.

Τέλος, παρουσιάζονται οι θέσεις της Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας της Ελλάδος για τα βιοηθικά ζητήματα της υποβοηθούμενης αναπαραγωγής και γίνεται σχολιασμός των θέσεων αυτών.

The aforementioned Dean, f. Rector and f. Head of the Department was a member of the local criminal network of Tectonic Hall of Thessaloniki, Greece. It is worth mentioning that he was acquitted in almost a dozen high profile legal cases (setting NGOs).
DAP-UoM (the New Democracy ruling party youth organization in tertiary education) had been enjoying full protection in all kinds of illegal behaviour. Hundreds (at least) have cheated during final exams, yet NO INVESTIGATION took place whatsoever! For years they allowed students to open books and simply copy info and answers during the exams (!) without a single student being punished!
Instead of an investigation the Rector of University of Macedonia Katranidis ordered an investigation against me for publicizing these acts. A punishment, an intimidation act for doing my duty as a Head of the Department.
Unlawfulness does Pay (indicative incidents-everything is documented)
1. A student carrying notes in the final exam room refused to handle his exam paper after he was caught cheating. Instead, he pushed back the exams supervisor, run to the exit and disappeared. NO student dared testify as they were intimidated. Students told me they knew who this person was, yet, they were afraid to speak up.
2. During class evaluation the forms were collected by an unknown student who had never been in class. The student picked up the forms and disappeared. I asked the Department Secretariat to inform me on his identity, yet, they refused to assist me on the grounds of this was personal data” not to be disclosed!
3. On another occasion a student filling in the evaluation form for that year’s classes was forced (upon my insistence) to reveal that he was NOT A STUDENT of the department. Eventually he admitted being a student of another university (Aristorle). The aim of this scam was evident. To under-evaluate me and “prove” that I was not good at my academic work. This is how the corruption system operated and the way they target those who refuse to be their tools. Had I let him participate in the evaluation process he would have made derogatory comments to justify insufficiency in teaching. This is a common practice for those outside the criminal network. In one case a high-profile university official told me that he had been using this scum to harm and dishonor those who just refused to operate as his puppets.

An Academic Institutional Crisis
Some critical issues arise from this clientelistic environment

Critical questions that need answers
1. Is impunity a “local” (institutional failure), national issue or is it the outcome of blatant interference of power networks operating in universities? The answer is a common secret and I would not try to answer it because of a major and revealing lawsuit to come.
2. What was the meaning and purpose of an INGOGNITO visit to the Department of International and European Studies and the University of Macedonia of the then US Ambassador to Greece G. Pyatt? This is a multi-million-dollar question that NO-ONE dares to bring forward. Is it customary for an ambassador to SECRETLY visit a university department without academics knowing about this “odd” visit? The question becomes a real puzzle taking into consideration the ANONYMOUS Greece revelation that a network of counter-information with the aim to supposedly deal with Russian influence in the city was built on the pillars of University of Macedonia, ELIAMEP and a number of journalists. They denied everything, yet, some facts cannot be explained. Nor can there be an explanation as to why the university authorities did not support my demand to provide an answer to why my university office was bugged. Why was I forced to deliver the monitoring device to the police? Why didn’t the only witness to the incident didn’t testify?  The answers to these questions may be found in the operating of USA Embassy in Athens and the way to “deal with” those who refuse to be recruited.
3. One more important issue. On speaking out about corruption and clientelist, un-meritocratic networks in the university a DEFAMATORY campaign against me started with individuals at the institutions spreading rumours of me being mentally sick! This is classic intelligence practice applied by secret services particularly by the US. Is this related to the incognito visit of f. US Athens ambassador to the UoM? It appears that he had a “preference” to the institution. In the process I had to file a lawsuit against a colleague at the department (Bitzenis) as he was involved in communications mails with defamatory content (he suggested that I was mentally sick and should seek help). To this day justice has NOT BEEN DONE and my lawsuit is STILL PENDING. I dispose of sms corroborating this standard intelligence practice of character assassination.
4. What is the relation between f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis and USEmbassy Athens? How did the f. Rector I. Kouskouvelis use his structural power as a freemason member of the local Tectonic Hall (a criminal network) to persecute all those who stood up for meritocracy, equal treatment, transparency and those exposing clientelist networks? His cooperation with DAP (New Democracy Youth Organization) is well-known as well as the huge clientelist network they built. In a sms sent to me by a New Democracy party official he underpins that “he is capable of everything” meaning he is extremely dangerous for anyone who stands in his way
Academic freedom can not be taken for granted when intelligence infiltration corrodes universities and sets up a regime!
