    The Calouste Gulbenkian Library, Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, 1925-1990: An Historical Portrait of a Monastic and Lay Community Intellectual Resource Center

    Manoogian, Sylva Natalie

    The Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem is a major religious, educational and cultural institution established more than fourteen centuries ago, and the Calouste Gulbenkian Library is one of its intellectual resource centres. Planning began in 1925 as a tribute to Patriarch Yeghishe I Tourian; its mission has been to collect and preserve works of Armenian religion, language, art, literature and history alongside world literature. Construction was funded by the benefaction of Calouste Gulbenkian, with continuing support from the Gulbenkian Foundation. The dissertation offers the first systematic English-language institutional history of the library, analysing its emergence, leadership and functions. Manoogian found that key primary sources existed in the Patriarchate's administrative archives but had never been consistently organized.

    Dislocations of Identity in Late Twentieth Century Armenian Diaspora Literature

    Keshishyan, Lilit

    Enters the debate in diaspora studies over how much a physical homeland matters when defining expatriate communities as diasporic, working through the literary output of three Armenian diaspora writers: Vahé Oshagan, Hakob Karapents, and Vahe Berberian. It examines how identity is represented and reconceptualized in Armenian diaspora literature of the late twentieth century by reading characters' relationships to the many spaces they call home. The author argues these works offer a complex view of the diasporic subject because they acknowledge the duality of living outside one's 'home' country and then push past that binary, rejecting romanticized narratives of origin and place. Rather than finding solace in any single space, the characters' searching and wandering becomes the only stable fixture in their lives, and so defines their identity.

    Survivors: An Ethnographic Study of Armenian American Activism and Expression

    King, Melissa Ruth

    In Armenian American youth activism, the practice of memory of woundedness and genocide is conceived as a form of resistance tied to claiming a subjectivity as diasporan Armenians and as a US minority. Young activists position themselves in history as remnants and freedom fighters, demanding recognition of the Genocide in a struggle for justice that simultaneously demands their own recognition as survivors in a context of perceived denial. The activist tradition studied here tends toward anti-assimilationism and the display of woundedness as a means of obtaining perceptibility. Youth claim survivorship through diasporan institutions that structure commemorations, cultural events and political protests. The study rests on eighteen months of field research in the Los Angeles region.
