Bone memory: the necrogeography of the Armenian Genocide in Dayr al-Zur, Syria

Elyse Semerdjian · 2018

Catalogue summary

Semerdjian studies formal and informal rituals involving victims' remains at Dayr al-Zur, where deported Armenians were killed and commemorated. The article treats these practices and vernacular memorials as sources that can make dispersed sites of atrocity historically legible, especially after the destruction of the local memorial complex.

Why this matters

It expands the archive of genocide memory beyond official monuments and shows why vulnerable landscapes and embodied practices matter to historical research.
