Nostalgic Glimpses from Cosmopolitan Alexandria
Cosmopolitan Alexandria is a term that is usually applied for a period in the history of the Egyptian city of alexandria lasting from [1860 -1961]. Large numbers of Greeks, Italians, French, English,Maltese, Armenians, Lebanese, Syrians,Turks,Bulgarians,Jews ,etc,lived in harmony within each other and with the local people . Sadly enough,the cosmopolitan nature of the city was abruptly put to an end when the Egyptian presedent Nasser issued the socialist laws of 1961,followed by the planned Arabinization of the names of streets and districts of the city.Most European communities left Alexandria except for a still existing very small Greek community and a slightly larger Armenian community
The decline in the cosmopolitan nature of Alexandria,although more profound in the year 1961 which witnessed the mass exodus of most non Hellenic communities,the Hellenic [Greek ] presence in Alexandria was still prominent and visible till at least the year 1975.
European influence on the city can be still seen in Alexandria after 50 years from the end of the cosmopolitan era of the city.In the following,I will try to show some landmarks of this era of the history of Alexandria.I am a still living witness to this era and hope that I can do something to preserve these memories for history and newer generations .The sequence of the presented photos are as follows:

The City - C. P. Cavafy | قصيدة المدينة، قنسطنطين كفافيس
The City is an 1894 poem by Constantine P. Cavafy.
Constantine Peter Cavafy; 1863, Alexandria – 1933, Alexandria) was an Egyptian Greek poet, journalist and civil servant. Cavafy wrote 154 poems, while dozens more remained incomplete or in sketch form. During his lifetime, he consistently refused to formally publish his work and preferred to share it through local newspapers and magazines, or even print it out himself and give it away to anyone interested. His most important poems were written after his fortieth birthday and officially published two years after his death.
The clip is from the Greek television series Thus Spake the City - Episode 5, Alexandria directed by Yannis Smaragdis.

Discussion at the OCC: Alexandria still: Returning to the Cavafian Alexandria
Alexandria still: Returning to the Cavafian Alexandria
Cycle C.P. Cavafy
Wednesday 15 April 2015 19:00 Upper Stage
Alexandria still: Returning to the Cavafian Alexandria sets out both to explore Alexandria’s unique place in the history and literary history of Europe and the Middle East, and to ask questions about its construction as a paradigm and a capital of cosmopolitanism. The discussion will centre on how Alexandria’s image -as it may be construed by readers of Cavafy, Forster and Durrell- is imbued with and profoundly influenced by Eurocentric ideas about and perceptions of the Middle East: the real Alexandria is a multi-dimensional, intercultural mosaic of a city.
At the event, Hala Halim, author of Alexandrian Cosmopolitanism: An Archive, will discuss Alexandria as a paradigm of cosmopolitanism with Alexander Kazamias, Senior Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Coventry in the UK. The discussion will be chaired by Dimitris Papanikolaou, Associate Professor in Modern Greek Studies and Fellow of St. Cross College, Oxford.
Academic Advisor: Anastasios-Ioannis D. Metaxas
Designer of Ιnitiatives of the Archive: Afroditi Panagiotakou
Scholarly Advisor: Dimitris Papanikolaou
Project Manager: Theodoros Chiotis
Entrance to all the events in the “Talks and Thoughts” Cycle is free and on a first come, first served basis.
The distribution of entrance tickets begins one (1) hour before each event.
Simultaneous translation is provided in the case of speakers using a language other than Greek.
