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

SUMMARY:Survivors into Minorities: Armenians in Post Genocide Turkey
DESCRIPTION:A Book Talk by Dr. Lerna Ekmekcioglu\nMcMillan-Stewart Associate Professor of History\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology\n \nDr. Ekmekcioglu’s talk follows the trajectories of the survivors of the 1915 Armenian Genocide who remained inside Turkish borders after the signing of the 1918 Mudros Armistice (and during the Allied occupation years of Istanbul) and after the 1923 establishment of the new country as the Turkish Republic. How did the Kemalist state treat the remaining Armenians? What were the Armenians’ responses to the new (but also old) Turkish regime? The talk discusses multiple strategies that Armenians—including feminist Armenians—crafted in order to cohabit with unapologetic perpetrators and survive the new Turkey. \nCo-sponsored by the Center for Near Eastern Studies

SUMMARY:Can the Survivor Speak?
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Talin Suciyan\nLudwig Maximilian University\nEvent Flyer \nDr. Talin Suciyan’s talk will present the central findings of her recent publication\, The Armenians in Modern Turkey: Post–Genocide Society\, Politics and History (I.B. Tauris\, 2016). The lecture will discuss the author’s reconstruction of the little–known history of the remarkable survival of Turkey’s Armenian community in the wake of the genocide of 1915 by relying on a painstaking examination of local Armenian sources alongside documentation from the Turkish state archives. By using oral histories\, minutes of the Armenian National Assembly\,memoirs\, personal archives\, yearbooks\, and various newspapers published during the post–1923 period\, Suciyan tries to restore a historiographic voice to those silenced by history.\n—\nCo–sponsored by the Center for Near Eastern Studies

SUMMARY:UCLA to Host Important Conference to Mark 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide
DESCRIPTION:LOS ANGELES—From April 10-11\, 2015. The Richard Hovannisian Endowed Chair in Modern Armenian History at UCLA [established by the Armenian Educational Foundation] will hold a conference to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide. The event is co-sponsored by the Gustave Von Grunebaum Center for Near East Studies (UCLA)\, the UCLA Center for European and Eurasian Studies\,as well as the UCLA Department of History. It will involve two days of panels featuring an international cast of world-renowned scholars as well as an evening of keynote speakers on Friday (April 10) and a small concert at UCLA’s Schoenberg Hall. Professors Richard G. Hovannisian\, Ronald Grigor Suny\, and Istanbul-based public intellectual and academic Murat Belge will each provide their reflections with musical interludes by the Armenian Music Ensemble of UCLA under the direction of Movses Poghossian. One of the concerns that threads together the different academic panels on the genocide is to embed the Armenian-Ottoman tragedy within the larger contexts of world or global history\, emphasizing the comparative and connective aspects of this defining event in the historical trajectories of Armenians\, Turks\, and others in the course of a “century of genocides.” Participating scholars include Norman Naimark\, Donald Bloxham\, Jay Winter\, Dirk Moses\, Richard Hovannisian\, Gary Bass\, Gerard Libaridian\, Donald Miller\, Bülent Bilmez\, Bedross Der Matossian\, Uğur Ümit Üngör\, Janet Klein\, Ruken Şengul\, Murat Yildiz\, Sossie Kasbarian\, Dzovinar Derderian\, and others. Please see the conference poster for a full listing of the program and venue. \n\nDirect any inquiries to conference organizer and holder of the Chair\, Professor Sebouh D. Aslanian\,ucla.armenianhistory.chair@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Between Historical Explanation and Narrative Understanding: The Story of Menk and the Burden of Representation
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Dr. Talar Chahinian\nCalifornia State University\, Long Beach\nEvent Flyer \nDr. Chahinian’s presentation will overview the work of a group of orphans\, who\, in 1931\, launched a short-lived\, diasporan literary movement called Menk in Paris. The works of these French-Armenian writers\, though devoid of explicit memory of the catastrophic events of the past\, characterize the crisis of survival in the aftermath of the genocide\, both for the survivor living in exile and the displaced culture’s prospects of reproduction. \nCo-sponsored by the UCLA Gustave E. von Grunebaum Center for Near Eastern Studies

SUMMARY:All The Light There Was – A Novel About Armenians in Nazi-Occupied Paris
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Nancy Kricorian\nAcclaimed Novelist\nFebruary 25\, 2015 \nEvent Flyer \nWhile doing research on the uses of political violence by “non-state actors” for her second novel Dreams of Bread and Fire\, Nancy Kricorian came across a 1984 French documentary entitled “Terrorists in Retirement” (original title “Des terroristes à la retraite“).  It told the story of a French Communist Resistance network made up of immigrant workers.  The network’s leader was an Armenian poet named Missak Manouchian.  In late 1943\, the Germans arrested Manouchian and 22 members of his group\, which was comprised of Eastern European Jews\, Armenians\, and Italian and Spanish refugees.  Kricorian began to imagine what it would have been like for Armenian Genocide survivors\, such as Manouchian\, to live out the war years in Paris.  This question became the basis for her third novel\, All the Light There Was\, which tells the story of Maral Pegorian\, a young Armenian girl who is the narrator and protagonist of the book. \nCo-sponsored by the UCLA Gustave von Grunebaum Center for Near Eastern Studies

SUMMARY:Intimacy\, Testimony\, Protest: Armenian Lullaby as a Genre of History
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Dr. Melissa Bilal\nMellon Post Doctoral Fellow\nColumbia University\nEvent Flyer \nThe history accumulated on the Armenian lullaby represents a resource for remembrance\, story telling\, and the transmission of a sense of loss.  Melissa Bilal’s presentation critically analyzes the historical formation of the genre of lullaby in Armenian ethnographic and revolutionary literature and contextualizes it within turn-of-the-twentieth-century gendered politics of land and modernity.  Tracing specific examples of songs in printed archival material\, sound recordings\, and interviews\, Bilal points to the continuities and ruptures in the transmission of this repertory within the present day Armenian community of Istanbul.  She argues that the Armenian lullaby today takes its political capacity from conveying the affective knowledge to survive the epistemology of denial. \nCo-sponsored by the UCLA Gustave von Grunebaum Center for Near East Studies
