Ararat and Collective Memories of the Armenian Genocide

Jerome H. Markovitz · 2006

Catalogue summary

This analysis reads Atom Egoyan's Ararat as an inquiry into the difficulties of representing genocide and remembering a contested past. It examines denial, commemoration, family identity, cinematic form, and the problem of competing historical claims.

Why this matters

It gives readers a rigorous way to discuss cultural memory of the Armenian Genocide through film rather than treating representation as simple illustration.
