Cycles of Genocide, Stories of Denial: Atom Egoyan's Ararat
Donna-Lee Frieze · 2008
Catalogue summary
Atom Egoyan's Ararat is read through its film-within-a-film structure, connecting Armenian Genocide denial with consequences for Turkish and Armenian descendants, everyday truth claims, dehumanization, Levinas's ethics of the Other, and survivor responsibility.
Why this matters
The interpretation links cinematic form to intergenerational memory and the continuing ethical effects of genocide denial.
