PLENARY SPEAKERS 1.

He is currently editing King Lear for Arden 4 and writing a book on Shakespeare and Forgetting. 2. Diana E. Henderson Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA "Hard Hearts and Coronets: Anatomizing Resistance and Community with Shakespeare Now" After a year of Shakespearean commemorative celebrations, “the fierce urgency of now” has intruded upon scholarly pursuits and theatrical events in more incongruous ways. In the US, making Shakespeare our contemporary has led to death threats directed at that (seemingly) most benign of theatrical subgenres, the outdoor summer festival. In Europe, the uncertainty unleashed by the Brexit referendum challenges border crossings and collaborations, while the core issues of violence and inequity that have prompted mass migrations grow ever more grotesque; at the same time, remarkable performances and conferences provide precious, fragile occasions for considering what boundary-crossing Shakespeares can do.

Dissertation Final Aug 31 Formatted
Identity Gerrymandering: How the Armenian State Constructs and Controls “Its” Diaspora by Kristin Talinn Rebecca Cavoukian A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Kristin Cavoukian 2016 Identity Gerrymandering: How the Armenian State Constructs and Controls “Its” Diaspora Kristin Talinn Rebecca Cavoukian Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation examines the Republic of Armenia (RA) and its elites’ attempts to reframe state-diaspora relations in ways that served state interests. After 17 years of relatively rocky relations, in 2008, a new Ministry of Diaspora was created that offered little in the way of policy output. Instead, it engaged in “identity gerrymandering,” broadening the category of diaspora from its accepted reference to post-1915 genocide refugees and their descendants, to include Armenians living throughout the post-Soviet region who had never identified as such. This diluted the pool of critical, oppositional diasporans with culturally closer and more compliant emigrants. The new ministry also favoured geographically based, hierarchical diaspora organizations, and “quiet” strategies of dissent. Since these were ultimately attempts to define membership in the nation, and informal, affective ties to the state, the Ministry of Diaspora acted as a “discursive power ministry,” with boundary-defining and maintenance functions reminiscent of the physical border policing functions of traditional power ministries. These efforts were directed at three different “diasporas:” the Armenians of Russia, whom RA elites wished to mold into the new “model” diaspora, the Armenians of Georgia, whose indigeneity claims they sought to discourage, and the “established” western diaspora, whose contentious public ii critique they sought to disarm.

Pp. 81-117. BOGHOS LEVON ZEKIYAN ARMENIAN SELF-PERCEPTION BETWEEN OTTOMAN
Published: Orientalia Christian Periodica , 75 (2009), pp. 81-117. BOGHOS LEVON ZEKIYAN ARMENIAN SELF-PERCEPTION BETWEEN OTTOMANS AND SAFAVIDS * A historical model of Christian-Muslim interrelation and an attempt to re-evaluate its message Preliminary remarks Owing to a large extent to the geopolitical position of their homeland, the Armenians, in their millennia-long history, have felt themselves almost constantly challenged to face a great diversity of peoples, cultures, and religions: Achemenids and Hellens, Romans and Parthians, Sasanians and Byzantines, Arabs, Seljuks, Italians, Franks, as well as other Europeans, plus Mongolians, Slavonians, both Seljuk and Ottoman Turks, Safavids; and in modern times, Russians and Western Europeans, to mention only the main political formations around Armenia or in close political and cultural relationship with it. To those we must add minor political entities such as, for instance, Georgia, and in recent times Azerbaijan, and some prevalently ethnic or religious-confessional groups such as the Caucasian Albanians or the Syriac. In most of those cases Armenians found themselves almost crushed between two superpowers of the moment, as it was the case with Parthians and Romans, Byzantines and Sasanians, Ottomans and Safavids, Ottomans and Russians. Such multifarious relationships with neighbouring peoples, states and cultures caused, of course, numerous problems of very different nature, problems often extremely hard to resolve going as far as to touch the limits of survival. But survival itself has different aspects. Not always when people survive, do we see them in full possession of their linguistic, cultural, religious, and anthropological heritage. There often occurs a drastic change of religion, of language, of ancestral customs, so that in most cases survival is really a very partial maintenance of what a given community was and had earlier.
