Research Projects
“The presence of cinema in Greek literary magazines in the second half of the twentieth century (1949-2009)”.
The research program “The presence of cinema in Greek literary magazines in the second half of the twentieth century (1949-2009)” was funded by ESPA Action: “Reinforcement of Postdoctoral Researchers - 2nd Cycle” (ESPA 2014-2020) and was implemented between April 2020 to October 2021.
The aim of the project was to systematically collect and classify the textual material deriving from 12 post-war and post-junta Greek journals. More particularly, it has been created a digital database in order to make the annotated bibliographic entries more accessible to the research community and society.
