The Cost of Memorializing: Analyzing Armenian Genocide Memorials and Commemorations in the Republic of Armenia and in the Diaspora

Sabrina Papazian · 2019

Catalogue summary

Visual and semiotic readings cover memorials located in Armenia, France, and the United States alongside the marches, vigils, and ceremonies held around them. The author argues that recognition-centered commemoration can bind a transnational Armenian public while reinforcing an enduring victim identity.

Why this matters

Its three-country design makes visible how monuments and collective rituals carry different political costs for Armenia and diaspora communities.
