Linguistic landscape in the city of Isfahan in Iran: The representation of languages and identities in Julfa

Saeed Rezaei and Maedeh Tadayyon · 2018

Catalogue summary

Rezaei and Tadayyon analyze 323 public signs and ethnographic observations in Isfahan's Armenian Julfa district. They show how Persian, English, and Armenian appear unevenly in a neighborhood where Iranian, Armenian, Christian, and cosmopolitan identities meet.

Why this matters

It offers concrete evidence of how Armenian language and identity are displayed, limited, and negotiated in a long-established diaspora district.
