Armenian Literature and Culture in English
274(Slavic 221)/AAPTIS 274. Armenia:
Culture and Ethnicity. (3). (HU).
This course will explore various aspects of the Christian Armenian identity,
from the earliest times to the 1990s, against a historical and political
background, with a greater emphasis on the more modern times. It will highlight
the formation of the Armenian self-image; its principle features (political,
religious, cultural); and its historical evolution in a multi-religious
and multi-national region that has undergone territorial and cultural transformations
and has experienced many conflicts, at times deadly, resulting from the
clash of national-ethnic identities and aspirations, governed and driven
by oppression, distrust, religious and cultural intolerance, and aggressive
political designs to name but a few. There will be class discussions. Students
will be required to write one short term paper (5-7 pages long) and a final
paper (8-10 pages long) reflecting research on a selected topic. (Bardakjian)
