DEFINITION COMMENTS: Performance of the... self in everyday interactions is theorized as a means of constituting identity. The notion of performance in everyday interaction stimulated scholarship on ethnic and gender identity. Judith Butler, following Foucault, developed the notion of the performativity of gender in which “gender identity is a performative accomplishment compelled by social sanction and taboo”(Butler 1988). -Butler, J., 1988, “Performative Acts and Gender Constitution: An Essay in Phenomenology and Feminist Theory”, Theatre Journal 40(4).

SOCIAL TERM: Φαινομενολογία / Phenomenology

APPROVED DEFINITIONS FOR TERM: 8

TERM TYPE: Methodological

DEFINITION (1): Phenomenology is a philosophical and sociological example with several variations inside. It means the ability to get access to the “essence” and to understand various phenomena, expressed in different ways and in multiple versions, that retain a large variety of social and cultural crystallizations.(Craib,2000),(Darroch, Ronald,1982),(Pourkos,2010).

DEFINITION TYPE: Nominal

DEFINITION WRITER: Savvakis Emmanouil

DEFINITION COMMENTS: The project of... philosophical phenomenology is quite diverse and complex and involves a fairly wide spectrum of disciplines, such as literary, narration, poetry, arts, emotion, imagination, illusion, etc. it has also has affected a fairly extensive range of scientific production in fields such as philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychoanalysis, psychology, pedagogy, etc (Craib 2000: 188, Pourkos 2010 : 371). Phenomenology is used in two basic ways in sociology: (1) to provide a substantial theoretical basis for various social problems and (2) to strengthen and broaden the adequacy of sociological research methods (Darroch & Ronald 1982).

SOCIAL TERM: Προσκύνημα / Pilgrimage

APPROVED DEFINITIONS FOR TERM: 1

TERM TYPE: Theoretical

DEFINITION (1): Pilgrimage in all religions is pre-eminently a journey of the religious imagination. It obviously constitutes physical movement from one place to another, but at the same time involves spiritual or temporal movement (Eickelman, 2002,p. 637).

DEFINITION TYPE: Nominal

DEFINITION WRITER: Deligiannidou Maria

DEFINITION COMMENTS: Pilgrimage may project... the believer across lines of gender, ethnicity, language, class, and locality. Yet even as pilgrims believe that they are transcending the “imagined community” of their immediate locality or group, pilgrimage creates new boundaries and distinctions (Eickelman, 200,p.637).

SOCIAL TERM: Ποιητική / Poetics

APPROVED DEFINITIONS FOR TERM: 1

TERM TYPE: Theoretical

DEFINITION (1): “Poetics” has two different meanings for anthropologists: a) the context of literary analysis that any anthropologist encounters in the form of verbal or literary art as part of the culture being studied, (myth, tale, life history, lament, song) and b) the approach to analysing the genres of anthropological writing itself (Finnegan,2002,p. 642).

DEFINITION TYPE: Nominal

DEFINITION WRITER: Deligiannidou Maria

DEFINITION COMMENTS: In Clifford and... Marcus’s influential Writing Culture: the Poetics and Politics of Ethnography (1986), it was the writings of anthropologists themselves that became the subject for analysis. Since the 1980s and 1990s anthropologists are increasingly aware of the poetic and plural qualities of communication: that ambiguity, figurative language, poetry, communicative context, contested meanings, the exercise of power or a multiplicity of voices may be as significant as “straightforward” information -transfer— and that, furthermore, this kind of “poetics” may apply to their own varied performances (written or other) as well as to those of the cultures they study. -Clifford, J. and G.E.Marcus (eds), 1986, Writing Culture: The Poetics and Politics of Ethnography, Berkeley: University of California Press
