Animal mobility, human mobility: A geopolitical of sheep in Armenia
M. Thévenin · 2021
Catalogue summary
Fieldwork with Yezidi and Armenian herders examines livestock mobility in post-Soviet Armenia amid earthquake recovery, closed borders, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and changing regional meat markets. The authors distinguish village-scale collective herding from longer-range seasonal movement and interpret both as adaptations linking livelihood, territorial presence, and globalization.
Why this matters
It uses pastoral practice to connect rural resilience with Armenia’s borders, security pressures, and regional economy, making everyday mobility visible within debates usually framed at the state level.
