Research Interests
Dr Yiavis's research is principally focused on Greek and European cultural history from the Middle Ages to the present. He places special emphasis on the powerful reciprocity of Greek literature with the West and the East, and within the Mediterranean.
He is also curious about the continuity of cultural disciplines and the “master moments” of revolutionary change, such as the emergence into Modernity. He is strongly interested in the capacity of the Humanities to analyze the vast complexity that constitutes the modern world.
