SUMMARY:Armeno-Indica:  Four Centuries of Familiarity and Friendship
DESCRIPTION:This event is organized by the UCLA Richard Hovannisian Endowed Chair in Modern Armenian History. \nFriday\, March 17\, 2023  |  10:00 AM – 6:30 PM (Pacific Time)\nto\nSaturday\, March 18\, 2023  |  11:30 AM – 6:00 PM (Pacific Time) \nPostponed due to the pandemic\, this international conference celebrates the bicentenary of the founding of Kolkata’s famed Armenian College (est. 1821)\, one of three centers of Armenian higher learning in the diaspora during the nineteenth century and the only one that has survived and is thriving today. Bringing together economic\, literary\, legal\, and cultural historians from India\, Armenia\, France\, the United Kingdom\, Germany\, and the United States\, the conference highlights how\, beginning in the early modern period and continuing to the present\, Armenians have traveled to India to make its distant shores and cultures their own. India looms large in the Armenian social imaginary. It was not only the place where the first Armenian proto-constitution for an “imagined” nation-republic was published (Madras 1788/9)\, it was also the cradle of the first Armenian newspaper (Madras\, 1794-1796)\, the first modern Armenian play (Calcutta 1823)\, and arguably also where the first Eastern Armenian novel appeared (Calcutta\, 1846)\, as well as where the first Armenian “feminist” tract (Calcutta\, 1847) was published. \nGathering an international group of scholars\, Armeno-Indica explores the Indo-Armenian saga in South Asia from the seventeenth to the twenty-first centuries. Themes to be explored include the connected economic\, literary\, legal\, and political histories of Armenians and Indians in South Asia and beyond across the waters of the Indian Ocean. The keynote for the conference will be delivered by Professor Sanjay Subrahmanyam. \n  \n—–     RSVP requested for in-person attendance     —– \n—–     RSVP for participation via Zoom     —– \n  \n\nFriday\, March 17\, 2023 (Royce 314\, UCLA) \nWelcoming words: Amy Landau and Ann Karagozian\n(10:00 AM – 10:15 AM) \nIntroduction to the conference: Sebouh David Aslanian\n(10:15 AM – 10:30 AM) \n~~  Introduction and Welcome video recording  ~~ \n\nPanel 1: Trade\, Law\, and Go-Betweens (10:30 AM – 12:30 PM) \nSantanu Sengupta (Kolkata): “Negotiating with Law: Phases of Armenian Interaction with the Early Colonial Law Courts in India.” \nXabier Lamikiz (University of the Basque Country /Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU): “Armenian Merchants from Madras in Eighteenth-Century Spanish Manila: A Story of Love and Hate.” \nRuquia Hussain (Aligarh Muslim University\, AMU): “Of Sarhad and Calcutta: The English East India Company\, Khwāja Israel di Sarhad and the Foundation of Modern Calcutta.” \nSona Tajiryan (Gemological Institute of America\, GIA): “How to Choose and Buy Pearls?

SUMMARY:The Unspoken as Heritage: The Armenian Genocide and Its Unaccounted Lives
DESCRIPTION:The Inaugural Raymond H. Kévorkian Armenian Genocide Commemoration Lecture delivered by Dr. Harry Harootunian. \nHarry Harootunian’s The Unspoken as Heritage: The Armenian Genocide and its Unaccounted Lives is an attempt to reach an unattainable history by addressing the experience and memories of his parents\, who escaped the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1916 and migrated to the United States to confront the magnitude of a second challenge of adaptation and economic security in an entirely different environment. Their afterlives in Detroit\, where they raised three children\, were marked by a void of silence provoked by what they had experienced and the loss they had incurred to configure a daily life continually mediated by the defeating historical effects of genocidal policies Armenians had been subjected to during the closing years of Ottoman rule. \nBorn in 1929 in the United States\, Harry Harootunian is among the leading professional historians of East Asia\, focusing on Japan’s early modern and modern history. He is the author of Marx after Marx: History and Time after Capitalism (Columbia University Press\, 2015) and Uneven Moments: Reflections on Japan’s Modern History (Columbia University Press\, 2019). He was formerly the Max Palevsky Professor\, Emeritus of History and Civilizations at the University of Chicago\, the dean of Humanities at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, editor of Journal for Asian Studies\, and co-editor of Critical Inquiry. His newest book is The Unspoken as Heritage: The Armenian Genocide and Its Unaccounted Lives. \n*Please note that Todd Presner has replaced Michael Rothberg as the Discussant for this event. \nRegistration is required for this Webinar event. \n\nYou can watch a video of this event below:

SUMMARY:The City as Anthology: Visualizing Cultures of Literacy in Early Modern Isfahan
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Kathryn Babyan\nAssociate Professor of Iranian History & Culture\, Director Armenian Studies Program\nUniversity of Michigan\nEvent Flyer \nThe City as Anthology will encapsulate the story of Isfahan through private collections assembled in the domestic sphere of urban households. Thousands of anthologies were produced in seventeenth century family libraries\, shaping tastes and aesthetics as they participated in the making of a graphic culture. Paintings and drawings were commissioned and purchased; private letters\, verses of poetry\, and talismans\, along with all sorts of fragments were arranged and recorded on paper. This talk will serve as a guide to my reading of these anthologies as an account of households and communities of literacy before print. \nCo-sponsored by UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies

SUMMARY:The Age of the Gharib: Strangers and Estrangement in the Pre-modern Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Michael Pifer\nNational Endorsement for the Humanities Fellow\nUniversity of Michigan\n \nThe trope of the wandering stranger\, the outcast with secret prestige\, can be found in pre-modern literatures around the world. This lecture will shed light on an intersecting discourse about strangers across Jewish\, Muslim\, and Christian societies\, with the intention of illuminating the peregrinations of the restless outcast known as the gharib in Middle Armenian poetry in particular. As it will argue\, the mobile figure of the gharib\, which performatively travels across multiple cultural systems\, suggests an alternative manner of parsing what is ‘native’ and ‘foreign\,’ indigenous and exogenous\, in the societies through which it moves. \nCo-sponsored by UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies
