he ridiculed greek architecture.ut then, just before he died in 1778, he himself went south to pestum, and in 15 or 16 wonderful drawings, he conjured up the magic of greek architecture as never before. he showed that the column, that the french had thought of as a structural element which they wanted to express honestly, was really a piece of sculpture, a piece of beautiful sculpture. after that, with the discovery of pestum and greek architecture itself, the aesthetic vision of europe changed. so, as often in the history of western art, changes in ways of seeing coincide with and even anticipate social change. so it was in the build-up to the french revolution. the saturday night fever of rolution began in earnest when camille desmoulins harangued an inflamed crowd in the palais royal, calling for overthrow of the monarchy and establishment of a republic. there was rising unemployment, a growing sense of injustice, and a devastating failure of the harvest had led to a shortage of a main staple--bread. the american

i am very curious to show how the greek people, the majority of greek people, suffered. >> let's talkout what is happening there. the greek government has launched a probe of the neo-nazi old and on party in the aftermath of the killing of a prominent hip-hop musician who was stabbed to death by golden dawn supporter outside a cafÉ last month. the murder sparking a new wave of protests against golden dawn, which placed third in last year's greek election. on monday, greek parliamentarians condemn the party. this is, in his party lawmaker liana kanelli. >> the problem is not deciding if they are a gang or not. i think everybody has artie understood they are. like all theal nazi's. if you want to be a nazi, then you can't be anything else but a beast. the problem is now to convince people that they have never been, they are not, and there'll never be the solution of any of the popular problems. >> costa-gavras? z if you see the movie, in you can see them, but at the time it was a smaller group. because of the crisis, the group blew up intermittently. they're promising changes in greece,

the greek capital has become a haven for refugees from all corners of the earth. there's little chance they will be granted asylum. the mohamed family wants to continue on to germany, but getting there is no easy task. >> we paid to smugglers. one was supposed to put my wife and children on the plane, and the other was supposed to drive me to germany in a truck. i was on the road for 50 hours. when i arrived, i found out that my wife had been caught at the airport with the papers. >> mohamed does not have the money to get back to athens. in germany, he turned to relatives for support. he talks to his wife as often as he can. she sends pictures of his newborn daughter. this request for asylum was approved in germany, but his wife and children are not allowed to join him yet. the authorities in athens have to approve their departure, and greek bureaucracy is slow at best. >> we cannot do anything. essentially, i'm locked in. >> she and her four children have been stuck in athens since the start of the year. their apartment is cramped and rundown. they all sleep and

so the greeks had this mystical feeling.in the overtones is that -- so we're getting multiples of frequencies, so we are actually seeing this kind of integer relation between them. >> even though the sound of a violin is coming from a much more complicated shape than a simple string, you still get to have that nice progression of frequencies. >> with the instruments, we've been folding in now a little bit of two-dimensional stuff, is that right? >> it's even three-dimensional. think of interior of a violin resonating. what are the harmonics of that sort of piece of space? and for me what it would mean is just the -- there are natural ways waves propagate through that space, and they're associated to frequencies, so to me the harmonics of the interior of that violin are just those frequencies of the waves that fit nicely inside the violin. >> now, a musician, an expert in music, could clearly hear the sounds off the violin, off the bass, and say, "all right, that one's a violin, that one's a bass," even if they were both tryi

he lent his support to the greeks in greece on the ruins of mesolongion of 1826. greece is portrayed as an idealized, impassioned woman dressed in white reminiscent of david's central figure in the sabine women. she rises heroically above the rubble arms extended appealing for help in the cause of liberty. and so, the electrifying effects of the napoleonic era, creative and destructive left their mark on artists and everybody else. the neoclassical style would continue into the 19th century, but arid and academic, incapable of imparting true feeling. true feeling is at the core of the sensibility which followed the revolution-- the period we know as the age of romanticism. there's no real definition of romanticism. we think perhaps of wild-eyed artists and poets like keats and shelley of melancholy gothic ruins and mysterious northern landscapes, where 19th-century man communed with nature. and all that is a part of it, but the poet baudelaire said that the key to romanticism was not the subject matter or even truth itself but feeling-- that you should listen to t

the united greeks were triumphant. herodotus captured their spirit: "freedom-- you have never tried to know how sweet it is. if you had, you would urge us to fight for it, not only with our spears but even with our hatchets." his own actions could alter the world around him. man took his place as preeminent in the world order. on the island of aegina near athens, this new idea of humanism can be seen just as it was emerging, at the temple of aphaia. the pediments show scenes of the trojan war. the west pediment was sculpted about 500 b.c., just before the persians' assault. a fierce battle is being fought; yet warriors, graceful and unperturbed, appear as dancs on stage. this elegant dance gives way on the east pediment to a drama of life and death. sculpted after the persian war, figures are imbued with a new sense of awareness, wi a capacity for suffering. exploration of the inner spirit of man was paralleled by an almost scientific observation of anatomy. lifelowly ebbs. the fallen warrior reluctantly yields. at oly

we have racism in greek society. we have had it in the past.t came up with the financial crisis and is still there. >> for the group, the crisis is an opportunity. it is a chance to break up the old boy network, the old way of doing things. for these young dancers, the way forward is clear. greece needs to become more open and tolerant and start welcoming immigrants and cultural diversity as a positive benefit. >> if more people were different and did what they liked and express themselves as they are, this thing would not exist here. >> they have qualified for the finals of the international breakdance competition in germany. they are proud to have the chance to represent greece in the tournament. as break dancers, nationality is not important to them. for them, dances about breaking down barriers that divide us as people. >> ♪ >> that is all we have time for today on "european journal." from all of us in brussels, thank you for watching. until next time, bye for now. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- 

the cryptocurrency what about the greek people instead of being in the street and hailing the noxious gases being thrown at them by the government why can't the greek people simply do this for themselves yes this is a very good idea and of course you can say that but the government are completely in strolled to detroit got and the e.u. is just then so even if something is possible they won't do it and then you can imagine some sort of alliance of popular organizations and the grassroots groups in greece for example saying well we reinstitute over all. crisis monetary system for release and of course then you want. the mechanism over. money because i mean one of the reasons that people have confidence in governmental mais that you can be used to pay taxes but if people are in. and they see that when someone tries this sort of new grassroots type or electronic car to send and it wrecks more people who start using it and you really have a positive spiral of growth in confidence even if this long it has been started outside the governments ok so professor i want to reiterate the fact that

of greece at this point they're saying why not use the available to all to kickstart the greek economy you think electronic currencies correct i think the key round here is to start and for some something to kick start in a country like greece or portugal or whatever else you see in the tools for the government and the country's central bank and if there is political weight you can next week simply start paying and expenses for the government on their wages some kind chanst in a share of these new strong returns and everyone has a mobile phone today so it will start circulating into the economy and that firms and businesses will then have the choice of saying well i'm not accepting this new currency oh i did model europe's and then then we get less business suit so firms being forced to accept it and then firms are starting to pay their employees use you know share in this new electoral return states so it's really sort of percolate into the economy and then it can be taxed back again so that the government says that well we pay out in this chair oh then your crisis turns it and we tak
