The Armenian Tragedy
A Commemorative Symposium
This series of presentations by scholarly researchers will construct a narrative of Armenian experience in the late Ottoman Empire: from the cultural efflorescence before the First World War, as recorded in photographs and memoirs, through the tragic sufferings, deportations and massacres of the years 1915-17 to the struggles of survivors after the Armistice. Further papers will focus on the question of genocide and on gendered narrative, collective memory and experience in the Diaspora.
Speakers include Professor Armen T. Marsoobian (Southern Connecticut University), Professor Bob Brecher (University of Brighton), Ara Sarafian (Gomidas Institute, London), Ari Sekeryan (Oxford University), Helin Anahit (Middlesex University) and Vatche Simonian (London)
Hosted by the Centre for Research in Memory, Narrative and Histories, University of Brighton and coordinated by Saime Göksu, Jackie Stimpson and Edward Timms.
