Writing with an Ear to the Ground: The Armenian Genocide's "Stubborn Murmur"
Marcella Kathleen Polain · 2013
Catalogue summary
A fragmented essay joins inherited family memories, survivor exile, Australian Gallipoli commemoration, and disputed naming to portray genocide denial as an embodied intergenerational presence.
Why this matters
Personal narrative and public memorial politics converge here, revealing how descendants negotiate catastrophe when national ceremonies separate wartime heroism from Armenian persecution.
