SUMMARY:Reforms\, policies and ideologies as propaganda during the decline of despotic power and the wake of nation-building
DESCRIPTION:Arpi Melikyan is a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of French and Francophone Studies. In 2015\,she received her B.A. in French with a Spanish minor from University of California\, Los Angeles. As an undergraduate\, she was awarded the Martin-Turrill Memorial Best Essay Award in the French and Francophone Studies department of UCLA. \nThe presentation on propaganda before and during the Armenian and Rwandan genocides aims to bridge together two distinct histories by analyzing two genocides which have been orchestrated under different ideological frameworks\, in different continents and time periods. Finding commonalities between two distinct genocides allow us to detect\, understand\, denounce and condemn the root of genocidal acts to essentially aid in the prevention of genocides. The study problematizes the issue of propaganda and the ways in which governmental reforms\, policies and ideologies contributed to and served as propaganda in the years preceding the genocides. In addition\, it examines the role of religion and the consequences of European intervention and non-intervention before and during the massacres. The main question to address is\, how did reforms\, policies and ideologies within the Ottoman Empire and Rwanda create misinterpretations and cleavages which led to the instillation and infiltration of anti-Armenian and anti-Tutsi sentiment among not only its governmental bodies but also its citizens? \nAll welcome \nPizza and refreshments will be served \nAll proceedings will be in Armenian \nEvent Flyer\n\nRSVP Below:\n[gravityform id=”135″ title=”false” description=”true”]

SUMMARY:A Tale of Two Grigors: Aghet and Impossibility of Language in Narekatsi and Beledian
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Hagop Gulludjian is in charge of Western Armenian at UCLA within the Narekatsi Chair of Armenian Studies. He holds a doctorate of Letters and an MBA. He has researched and published on medieval Armenian poetry; heritage language and language vitality; interactions between virtuality\, culture and diasporas; and modern to postmodern Diaspora Armenian literature. Currently\, he is doing research and writing on the mystical poetry of Grigor Narekatsi and on contemporary Diaspora literature by Nigoghos Sarafian and Krikor Beledian. He has also an extensive consulting background\, having assisted both private and government entities on technology policy issues. \nGrigor Narekatsi is rightfully considered to be the uppermost expression of classical and medieval Armenian literature. Some would consider Krikor Beledian among those who occupy an analogous position concerning contemporary Armenian. Beyond occasional and purposeful intertextuality and the fact that he is the author of three volumes on Narekatsi\, Beledian shares with his millennium-old namesake a fundamental attribute that is perhaps the core drive behind the voluminous literary production of both: Catastrophic rupture and the struggle to articulate in human language that which evades language\, either because it belongs to the domain of the divine\, to absence\, or to the inhuman. In other words\, either because the experience is ineffable\, or it is literally about the absence of language. In both cases\, however\, the goal for the writer is to lend a performative role to the text with the purpose of making the very act of writing produce an intended experience instead of representing it. \nEvent Flyer\n  \nRSVP Below:\n[gravityform id=”131″ title=”false” description=”false”]\n

A Ph.D. Candidate in Comparative Literature in the University of California\, Irvine\, he is completing a dissertation on contemporary global Armenian filmmakers and writers who contribute to the emergence of a diaspora culture by transforming inherited national artistic traditions. \n  \n  \nHow does the fictionalization of the national past by diaspora authors diasporize literature?

Պատմական ֆանտէզի»\, 1988) and Krikor Beledian in The Palimpsest Man (Կրկնագիր Մարդը\, 2015) deploy hermeneutic tools afforded by modern fiction to meditate on the impact of the creation of the alphabet on Armenian collective life. \nAll welcome \nPizza and refreshments will be served \nAll proceedings will be in Armenian \nEvent Flyer\n  \nRSVP Below:\n[gravityform id=”122″ title=”false” description=”false”]\n

SUMMARY:Ottoman Armenian Theater and the Role of Actresses in Forging New Cultural Norms
DESCRIPTION:The presentation discusses the emergence of theater among Ottoman Armenians in the 19th century in the context of modernization and national awakening and the role Armenian actresses had in the development and popularization of the art. Theater played the dual role of reflecting and serving as an agent of sociocultural and political shifts. Largely concentrating on Azniv Hrachia’s memoirs\, Dr. Khalapyan illustrates how the stage allowed women to participate in forming public opinion on a new national identity\, in the process breaking the gender and “cultural” norms of womanhood established in Armenian society. \nDr. Hasmik Khalapyan is a lecturer at the American University of Armenia. She is Academic Director of the AGBU Armenian Virtual College and Editorial Director of the Virtual College’s Multimedia E-Book Series. She has an MA from Miami University\, and a PhD in History from Central European University\, Budapest\, Hungary. She has carried out research in Ottoman history in archives and libraries in Armenia\, Austria\, France and Turkey. Her research interests include: concepts and histories of social change in a local/global perspective; Ottoman history; women’s movements worldwide in a comparative perspective; theories and histories of empire and colonialism; gender and international law. She has been published in international journals and edited volumes in English\, and has been translated into Turkish. \nEvent Flyer\n  \nRSVP Below:\n[gravityform id=”116″ title=”false” description=”false”]\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Living Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:Event Flyer\nIt is our esteemed pleasure to invite you in joining Melkonian Global Overture\, to celebrate 50 Years of Narekatsi Armenian Studies Chair at UCLA. \nOn January 19\, 2019\,  MGO will host Living Diaspora\, a day of events at UCLA to support the Narekatsi Chair in Armenian Studies and other important language studies programs around the globe. UCLA has an important educational place in our community and the Narekatsi Chair has been contributing to the scholarly exchange in Armenian studies and to the Armenian community for the past half century. UCLA is the only university on the continent conducting research\, experimentation\, and applied programs aimed at the continued vitality of Western Armenian\, which was pronounced an endangered language by UNESCO based precisely on a report prepared by UCLA’s Western Armenian faculty. Today\, the program is threatened by class closures of Eastern Armenian due to the lack of public funding\, while Western Armenian offers only partial coverage.. \nOur event looks to ensure that both branches of modern Armenian are taught in a full three-year program\, so that we may guarantee the continuity of Armenian language usage in the everyday life of Armenians. It is our hope that we develop a new generation of local-born readers and creators in the language in order to prevent its stagnation. In that spirit\, we are also supporting Armenian language studies at other institutions such Padus Araxes Cultural Association which offers Summer Intensive Courses of Armenian language and culture in Venice Italy\, and Zarmanazan by Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation\, an innovative Summer Camp offering a Armenian Language immersion experience in a creative and playful world in the Alps of France. \n\n  \nEvent details:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShort Documentary Film Contest\n\nPanel of judges: Vahe Berberian\, Albert Kodagolian\, Sev Ohanian\, Natalie Qasabian\, Peter Cowe\, & Nazeli Kodjoian. \nMelintz Hall | 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM | Free Admission \n\n\nDiscussion Panel\n\nFeaturing UCLA Faculty\, Students\, & Dr. Razmik Panossian\, Director at Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. \nMelintz Hall | 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM | Free Admission \n\n\nLiving Diaspora Concert\n\nArtistic Director Greg Hosharian. \nFeaturing: Tinie T\, Mihran Kirakosian\, Jacob Armen\, R-Mean\, Ayline Amirayan\, Alene Aroustamian\, Jon Vato\, and Hovig  Demirjian. \nRoyce Hall | 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM | Ticketed Event \n  \n\n\nTo reserve your tickets please visit:\n\nTicketmaster\nRoyce Hall\n\n

SUMMARY:Hidden Treasures Unearthed: Armenian Arts and Culture of Eastern Europe
DESCRIPTION:The conference seeks to contribute to a longue durée approach to Near Eastern engagement with Europe with an emphasis on the early modern period (16th-18thcc.)\, which marked the heyday of Armenian communities as a crucial component of international trade hubs in eastern Europe\, involving an interdisciplinary focus on the multifaceted role those communities played in hemispheric commerce marked by exchange in commodities\, ideas\, technological innovation\, and sociocultural values. Exploring the evolution of those centers as settings for the symbiosis the Armenian communities entered into with their immediate host societies\, it views those expanding relations under the broader impact of the large-scale\, transformative sociopolitical\, economic\, and religious developments of that timeframe. This dynamically changing context provides the matrix for the output of the artists\, architects\, and artisans under discussion as they advanced beyond the confines of the known to explore new forms\, media\, and iconography as vehicles for Armenian creative expression. \n\n  \nConference Flyer:\nEvent Flyer\n  \nConference Program FULL:\nEvent Flyer\n  \nRSVP Below:\n[gravityform id=”93″ title=”false” description=”false”]\n

SUMMARY:Opening at the Close: History and Politics in Late-10th- Century Armenia

SUMMARY:2015: Discourse on the Armenian Condition
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Seta B. Dadoyan (Independent scholar) \nThursday\, November 10\, 2016\n4:00 PM\n10383 Bunche Hall\nUCLA \nThe talk\, based on her recently published bilingual volume  The Armenian Condition in Hindsight and Foresight: A Discourse\, (Ontario: 2015) will focus on the basic arguments in support of the “peculiarities”\, which define the Armenian condition and through which Dadoyan runs a critical assessment of it in hindsight and foresight\, combining rather than separating the poles and methods of philosophy and social sciences. Taking the Centenary of the Genocide as a three dimensional “event” – past\, present\, future – she suggests new contexts and tools to reevaluate the intellectual culture\, historiography\, institutional practice\, cultural and linguistic policies\, and other areas of the Armenian “Metasystem.” The objective of the “discourse” is to open a space/forum for dialogue\, debate and critique. \nSeta B. Dadoyan holds a Doctor of Sciences in Philosophy.
