An Armenian Mediterranean: Words And Worlds In Motion (Mediterranean Perspectives)

Synopsis

Offers fresh perspectives on the study of Armenian history, literature, and visual culture.

Appeals to scholars of comparative literature, global history, Mediterranean studies, Armenian studies, and medieval history.

Draws from and contributes to a wide array of comparative and theoretical frameworks, including world history, world literature, and Mediterranean studies.

This book rethinks the Armenian people as significant actors in the context of Mediterranean and global history. Spanning a millennium of cross-cultural interaction and exchange across the Mediterranean world, essays move between connected histories, frontier studies, comparative literature, and discussions of trauma, memory, diaspora, and visual culture. Contributors dismantle narrow, national ways of understanding Armenian literature; propose new frameworks for mapping the post-Ottoman Mediterranean world; and navigate the challenges of writing national history in a globalized age. A century after the Armenian genocide, this book reimagines the borders of the “Armenian,” pointing to a fresh vision for the field of Armenian studies that is omnivorously comparative, deeply interconnected, and rich with possibility.
