  • What Makes a Restaurant Ethnic? (A Case Study Of
    FORUM FOR ANTHROPOLOGY AND CULTURE, 2017, NO. 13 WHAT MAKES A RESTAURANT ETHNIC? (A CASE STUDY OF ARMENIAN RESTAURANTS IN ST PETERSBURG) Evgenia Guliaeva Th e Russian Museum of Ethnography 4/1 Inzhenernaya Str., St Petersburg, Russia [email protected] A b s t r a c t: Using restaurants in St Petersburg serving Armenian cuisine as a case study, the article studies the question of what makes an ethnic restaurant ethnic, what may be learnt about ethnicity by studying a restaurant serving a national cuisine, and to what extent the image of Armenian cuisine presented in Armenian restaurants corresponds to what Armenian informants tell us. The conclusion is that the composition of the menu in these restaurants refl ects a view of Armenian cuisine from within the ethnic group itself. The representation of ethnicity is achieved primarily by discursive means. Neither owners, nor staff, nor customers from the relevant ethnic group, nor the style of the interior or music are necessary conditions for a restaurant to be accepted as ethnic. However, their presence is taken into account when the authenticity or inauthenticity of the restaurant is evaluated. Armenian informants, though, do not raise the question of authenticity: this category is irrelevant for them. Keywords: Armenians, ethnicity, ethnic restaurants, national cuisine, authenticity, St Petersburg. To cite: Guliaeva E., ‘What Makes a Restaurant Ethnic?

  • Yerevan, Armenia
    INFORMATION YEREVAN, ARMENIA OCTOBER 10th-13th, 2018 ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating 2018/19, Armenian Cup 2018 Yerevan: the capital of Armenia In October Yerevan will celebrate its 2800th anniversary. According to legends Noah lived at this territory before the Great Flood. And after leaving his ark on top of Ararat Mountain, he got down back to the valley where Yerevan is located nowadays. Yerevan, or rather Erebuni Fortress, was founded by the king Argishti of Urartu in 782 BC, that is 29 years earlier than Rome. This fort is situated on the southern border of modern Yerevan. Armenia is the world’s first country which adopted Christianity as its state religion (in 301). And later, in 303, 20 kilometers away from Yerevan Etchmiadzin Cathedral was founded. It has been the residence of the Patriarch (the Catholicos) of the Armenian Apostolic Church from that time to the present. One of the main museums of Yerevan is the Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts, commonly referred to as the Matenadaran. It was founded in 1920 on the basis of Etchmiadzin collection of manuscripts. The Matenadaran is in possession of a collection of the 5th-18th-century manuscripts and unique Armenian books, including the Lazar Gospel (887), the Etchmiadzin Gospel (989) and the Mugni Gospel (the 11th century). The world's first textbook of arithmetic tasks was compiled by Armenian scientist David the Invincible. It is also kept at the Matenadaran. Moreover, the Matenadaran is a home of four Guinness world record manuscripts - the biggest, the smallest, the thickest and the thinnest books on Earth.
