This section presents research projects coordinated by external academic, research or cultural institutions in which members of the Department of Theatre Studies participate. Such involvement highlights the Department’s international outreach, its integration into wider research networks and its contribution to interdisciplinary collaborations in the fields of theatre and cultural studies.
Values Across Space and Time
The VAST research project investigates the transhistorical and transnational sustainability and performativity of the value systems and conceptual frameworks embedded in ancient drama, in relation to the literary and cultural production of other European countries across different historical periods. The project explores how the values, meanings and cultural traces of ancient drama are transmitted, transformed and reactivated through time and across Europe.
Digital Processing and Documentation of a Foundational Historical Text
The project focuses on the digital processing, documentation and dissemination of the Memoirs of Theodoros Kolokotronis, one of the most important texts of modern Greek history. Through the systematic recording, digitisation and organisation of archival material, the project contributes to the preservation and accessibility of historical memory in a digital environment, offering new opportunities for research, study and the use of primary sources.
