The image of Yerevan in the context of postcolonial discourse in Yuri Karabchievsky's “Yearning for Armenia”

А. Petrs-Bartsumian · 2024

Catalogue summary

Reading Karabchievsky's 1978 novella as postcolonial writing, the article interprets Yerevan through architectural impermanence, Soviet symbols, suppressed language, and longing for an estranged past.

Why this matters

The literary city portrait offers a focused account of how Russian colonial power and Armenian cultural loss are represented together.
