TL;DR: The authors examine the comic perception of Megarian ethnic identity and suggest that this vision is inextricably linked to Athenian imperial ideology, through stereotyping and ethnic abuse of their Megarian neighbors, the comic poets establish a greater distance between themselves and the Dorian Megarians.
Abstract: The fifth-century Athenian comic poets create a vivid and consistent stereotype of Megara and the Megarians: they characterize the Megarians, unlike other Greeks, as violent, childlike, impoverished, conniving, and uncivilized. In this paper, I examine the comic perception of Megarian ethnic identity and suggest that this vision is inextricably linked to Athenian imperial ideology. Through stereotyping and ethnic abuse of their Megarian neighbors, the comic poets establish a greater distance between themselves and the Dorian Megarians. They thereby imply that even this nearby Greek landscape requires Athenian control and they sanction Athenian aggression towards it.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated aspects of the ethnic identity of native adolescent students and the degree of differentiation of their ethnic identity and its correlation with the important factors of the social and cultural environment.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate aspects of the ethnic identity of native adolescent students More specifically, we focused on the ethnic identity of native students and the degree of differentiation of their ethnic identity and its correlation with the important factors of the social and cultural environment The sample consisted of 327 students in the municipality of Chios The island of Chios was chosen as an external border of the European Union (EU) and just because Chios and the islands of the North Aegean have generally become gateways and residence for refugees and migrants The Phinney questionnaire (1992) was used as the basis for this research The results of the survey have revealed that the formation of an ethnic identity implies both a acculturation and an attempt to harmonize conflicting cultural elements and securing the students’ psychological balance, at a time of fluid reality

TL;DR: In this article, aventura de Telemaco (Telemaquia) is analyzed, and it is shown that as interacoes sociais realizadas nos espaces podem influenciar no modo pelo qual o ser humano entende e representa a si mesmo e os outros ao seu redor.
Abstract: Neste artigo trabalharemos com a ideia de que os locais descritos na Odisseia, poema epico atribuido a Homero, podem, de certa forma, dizer algo sobre a maneira como o espaco era pensado e significado na Idade do Ferro antiga. Acreditamos, ainda, que as interacoes sociais realizadas nos espacos podem influenciar no modo pelo qual o ser humano entende e representa a si mesmo e os outros ao seu redor. Nesse sentido, a analise das aventuras de Telemaco (Telemaquia – os quatros primeiros cantos da Odisseia ) podera nos auxiliar na tarefa de compreender a forma na qual os gregos entendiam o lugar ( topos ) em que viviam e o que faz dele um lugar de identidade (isotopia).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the first book of the so-called Telemachia, part of the Odyssey that narrates the journey of Telemachus, Odysseus' son, to the kingdoms of Sparta and Pylos in search of news of his missing father.
Abstract: In this article, we will try to understand how the description of space in Homer's Odyssey contributes to the delimitation of an Hellenic identity during the ancient Iron Age. We will first analyze the first book of the so-called Telemachia, part of the Odyssey that narrates the journey of Telemachus, Odysseus' son, to the kingdoms of Sparta and Pylos in search of news of his missing father. We believe that the young Ithacan's journey will help us in our task of understanding the way through which the Greeks saw the place (topos) where they lived and what makes of it a place of identity (isotopia).

TL;DR: Bourdieu as mentioned in this paper develops a theory of practice which is simultaneously a critique of the methods and postures of social science and a general account of how human action should be understood.
Abstract: Outline of a Theory of Practice is recognized as a major theoretical text on the foundations of anthropology and sociology. Pierre Bourdieu, a distinguished French anthropologist, develops a theory of practice which is simultaneously a critique of the methods and postures of social science and a general account of how human action should be understood. With his central concept of the habitus, the principle which negotiates between objective structures and practices, Bourdieu is able to transcend the dichotomies which have shaped theoretical thinking about the social world. The author draws on his fieldwork in Kabylia (Algeria) to illustrate his theoretical propositions. With detailed study of matrimonial strategies and the role of rite and myth, he analyses the dialectical process of the 'incorporation of structures' and the objectification of habitus, whereby social formations tend to reproduce themselves. A rigorous consistent materialist approach lays the foundations for a theory of symbolic capital and, through analysis of the different modes of domination, a theory of symbolic power.

TL;DR: Sian Jones as mentioned in this paper argues for a fundamentally different view of ethnicity, as a complex dynamic form of identification, requiring radical changes in archaeological analysis and interpretation, and presents a comprehensive and critical synthesis of recent theories of ethnicity in the human sciences.
Abstract: The question of ethnicity is highly controversial in contemporary archaeology. Indigenous and nationalist claims to territory, often rely on reconstructions of the past based on the traditional identification of 'cultures' from archaeological remains. Sian Jones responds to the need for a reassessment of the ways in which social groups are identified in the archaeological record, with a comprehensive and critical synthesis of recent theories of ethnicity in the human sciences. In doing so, she argues for a fundamentally different view of ethnicity, as a complex dynamic form of identification, requiring radical changes in archaeological analysis and interpretation.
