  • The Svan Spoken Language Is Notable for Its Musicality
    1 An Articulation Phenomenon in Svan Singing RepertoRepertoireire “… The Svan spoken language is notable for its musicality. Accentuation and intonation in Svan speech is so rich that no other Kartvelian language can be compared to it. Many things which have been either concealed or diminished are presented powerfully in the Svan language” [Zhghenti 1949:96] Introduction. Svaneti is a high mountainous region in the west of Georgia with a pronounced ethnical identity and sub-culture. Geographically, Svaneti is divided into two - Upper and Lower Svaneti. Similarly, the Svan musical repertoire can also be divided into two branches –Upper and Lower. The Svan language is one of the four Kartvelian languages, namely Georgian, Megrelian, Laz, and Svan. For historical and geopolitical reasons, the Svans have, over the centuries, maintained their unique identity through their traditions and customs. In spite of the fact that most Svan songs are in the Svan language, some Georgian language songs also exist in Svaneti. Due to different factors, including chiefly the performing style of Svan songs of certain types, as well as peculiarities of the musical language, it is worthwhile to raise the question of the bi-musicality of Svans. 1 In this regard, the following questions present themselves: * What is the character of the Svan musical repertoire? * Does a perceptible Svan musical sub-culture exist and if so, what is its nature? * Are there special peculiarities which distinguish Svan singing? * What are the characteristic features of Svan music, with special reference to the correlation between the music and lyrics (verbal texts) of Svan songs, etc.? 1 The concept of bi-musicality was introduced by Mental Hood.

  • Language Policy and National Identity in Georgia
    Language Policy and National Identity in Georgia A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD to Queen Mary University of London 2011 Rusudan Amirejibi-Mullen Linguistics Abstract Language has been long recognised as a powerful marker of national identity, as has its role in transforming multi-ethnic societies into unified nations. Such is the case of multi-ethnic and multilingual Georgia, where language has today become a crucial factor in interethnic relations and in the Georgian nation-building process. This thesis sheds light on the nature of kartveloba (Georgianness) by examining Georgian language policy over the entire history of the nation. Despite the country’s long-standing civilisation and its established culture, Georgian statehood began to decline from the second half of the thirteenth century, until the country was eventually incorporated into the Russian empire at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Since then, there have been several attempts to instigate a ‘national revival’: 1) the cultural/linguistic movement of the nineteenth century, 2) the struggle to build a nation-state in 1918-1921, 3) the national liberation movement during the Soviet period (1921-1991), and 4) nation- state building in the post-Soviet period. All of these periods display common features with regard to language policy. 2 After investigating language policy and identity developments in the pre- modern period, this thesis examines Georgia under Russian rule (both Tsarist and Soviet), which made the country vulnerable to ethnic conflicts, and tries to explain the violent outcomes. The thesis goes on to examine public debate of language and minority issues, as well as efforts to elaborate inclusive language and ethnic policies in contemporary Georgia.

  • History in the Context of the Georgian-Abkhazian Conflict*
    BRILL Iran and the Caucasus 18 (2074) 289-374 History in the Context of the Georgian-Abkhazian Conflict* George Hewitt School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London Abstract The 2014 disturbances in the Ukraine occasioned renewed discussion of the 2008 Russo- Georgian War. As the situation continued to worsen in eastern Ukraine, US President Obama announced on a visit to Poland at the start of June that the US and NATO would strengthen ties even with the non-NATO-member-states of the Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia. This last has aspirations of membership, even though it does not control the re­ publics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which most of the world nevertheless regards as in­ tegral parts of Georgia. As long as the Georgian-Abkhazian dispute remains unresolved, there will be problems regarding inter-state relations with/for western Transcaucasia. And there can be no resolution of the Abkhazian issue without a proper understanding of Ab­ khazia’s history (both ancient and more recent); it was to try to ensure that the debate is not based on misconceptions, unsubstantiated assertions or even plain errors that this ar­ ticle was written, it is grounded on a consideration of a range of materials (from Agathias' Greek text through relevant discussions in Georgian, Russian and English). The toppling of Abkhazia’s democratically elected president (Aleksandr Ankvab) at the end of May 2014 makes the question of Abkhazia even more topical. Keywords Abkhazia, Georgia, Georgian-Abkhazian Dispute, Caucasian History Events during the spring of 2014 in the Ukraine (in particular Russia’s reacquisition of the Crimea) reawakened Western memories of the short Russo-Georgian war of August 2008.
