Preserving the Postmemory of the Genocide: The Armenian Diaspora’s Institutions in Plovdiv

Giustina Selvelli · 2019

Catalogue summary

Interviews, Armenian newspaper articles, and observations of Plovdiv’s monuments, museum, and cemetery show how genocide remembrance is organized in Bulgaria. The paper attributes community cohesion and postmemory especially to AGBU anniversary programs, symbolic choices, and emotionally framed communications.

Why this matters

Plovdiv offers a concrete European diaspora setting for studying how an institution turns commemorative media and public space into ethnic continuity.
