Quaderni di Studi su Balcani, Anatolia, Iran, Caucaso e Asia Centrale» delle Edizioni Ca’ Foscari di Venezia raccoglie diversi articoli dedicati allo spazio caucasico e centro-asiatico. Alcuni dei contributi del volume deriva- no dalle relazioni presentate nel convegno Ricerche italiane sull’Asia Centrale e sul Caucaso organizzato dall’Associazione per lo Studio in Italia dell’Asia centrale e del Caucaso (ASIAC) presso l’Universi- tà degli Studi Roma Tre il 5-6 dicembre 2019; altri derivano invece dalle relazioni presentate nel corso della XIII Giornata di Studi Arme- ni e Caucasici organizzata il 4 aprile 2019 dal Dipartimento di Stu- di sull’Asia e sull’Africa Mediterranea dell’Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia in collaborazione con l’Associazione per lo Studio in Italia dell’Asia centrale e del Caucaso (ASIAC). La presente pubblicazione non ha pertanto natura monografica, ma rispecchia piuttosto le differenti linee di ricerca portate avanti in questi ultimi anni da studiosi italiani e internazionali che si occu- pano di Caucaso e Asia Centrale. Ne fanno pertanto parte studi di diversa natura e matrice disciplinare, ordinati nel volume secondo un criterio cronologico che muove da contributi di carattere storico e filologico per giungere a studi contemporanei di taglio linguistico, letterario o politologico. Il volume è aperto dal saggio di Stephanie Pambakian e Lidia Za- netti Domingues, dedicato all’esplorazione delle attività delle prime comunità armene in Italia e alla loro interazione con l’elemento au- toctono. In particolare, le autrici incentrano la propria analisi su due 7 Carlo Frappi, Paolo Sorbello Introduzione inscrizioni al Monastero armeno del Santo Spirito, ad Orvieto, e sul- la comunità che a partire dal XIII secolo vi crebbe intorno. Attraver- so le analisi di documenti latini e del contesto storico di riferimento, le autrici evidenziano la positiva accoglienza riservata alla comuni- tà armena dalle locali autorità laiche e clericali. Di seguito, il volume presenta due articoli su diversi aspetti cul- turali e linguistico-culturali che riguardano due lingue del Caucaso meridionale: l’osseto e lo svano. Il saggio di Paolo Ognibene guarda alla rappresentazione letteraria degli spiriti osseti nei racconti popo- lari, sottolineandone la caratteristica imprevedibilità. In questa pro- spettiva, l’autore mostra i limiti della conversione al Cristianesimo, avvenuta nell’Oriente europeo nei secoli IX e X, la superficialità del- lo ‘strato cristiano’ nel mondo religioso osseto, che trova riscontro nei racconti popolari. L’articolo seguente, di Alessio Giordano, Mi- chele Salvatori e Vittorio Springfield Tomelleri, contribuisce invece al lavoro di traduzione e analisi linguistica della più importante ope- ra del poeta osseto Kosta Chetagurov (1859-1906), Iron fændyr (Lira osseta). Il contributo si concentra sulla poesia «Sidzӕrgӕs» (Vedo- va), contestualizzandone la traduzione e l’analisi linguistica con in- formazioni di contesto storico, culturale e letterario. Nel suo articolo, Massimiliano Vaghi guarda alla letteratura fran- cese di fine Ottocento e, in particolare, alla saggistica che, rivolgen- dosi a un pubblico metropolitano

Religious and linguistic minorities among the Kurds have often had an ambivalent relationship with the Kurdish movement and with Kurdish identity. Sunni Muslim speakers of Kurmanji or Sorani too have at times been willing to downplay ethnicity in the name of Muslim brotherhood with dominant Arab or Turkish state elites, but the emphasis on Islam has rarely led them to deny being Kurdish. For the minorities, on the other hand, Kurdish identity has been only one of several possible options, and political conditions have often strongly influenced which identity they prioritised. The Yezidis (Êzîdî) are a case in point: for a long time most Yezidis considered themselves as Kurds and were considered as Kurds by others – in fact it was mostly Yezidis who pioneered modern Kurdish literature and Kurdish broadcasting in Soviet Armenia – but during the past thirty years we could observe a notable move away from Kurdish identity towards a distinct Yezidi ethnicity.

  • The Branded Muslim Woman a Qualitative Study Into the Symbolic Boundaries Negotiated Around the Portrayal of Muslim Women in Brand Cultures

However, Muslim women have been countering this narrative through the emergence of alternative Muslim media content circulating within the Islamic cultural industry. The growing consumer segment of Muslim women have resulted in mainstream brands targeting this demographic. Likewise, female Muslim bloggers are gradually entering the influencer market of social media. There is an emerging visibility of Muslim women within these brand cultures: through the branding of Muslim women in advertisements and the self-branding of Muslim women on social media.

  • Armenian Involvement in the 1925-1946 Kurdish Rebellions in Republican Turkey: Trying to Map the Origins of “Hidden Armenians
    Armenian Involvement in the 1925-1946 Kurdish Rebellions in Republican Turkey: Trying to Map the Origins of “Hidden Armenians By: GARABET K MOUMDJIAN Abstract: The history of Armenian-Kurdish relations extends over centuries. In the 1800’s, Armenians were involved in the Kurdish rebellions in Kurdistan proper. The rebellions were crushed by Ottoman military might.1 After the Armenian Genocide of 1915, a new phase of Armenian involvement in yet a new episode of Kurdish rebellions ensued in Republican Turkey. This new collusion lasted all the way to the late 1930s. The aim of the ARF (Armenian Revolutionary Federation, AKA Tashnagtsutyune) at the time was twofold: Dispersion into the Middle East was considered to be a temporary sojourn and the ARF was adamant in its thinking that Armenians should repatriate to their historic homeland. The ARF attempted such an adventurous plan due to its knowledge that many pockets of Armenians—ergo, what would later become known as “Hidden Armenians”—existed in the Eastern Provinces of the newly established Turkish Republic. Toward the end of World War II there was some optimism that the Soviet Union could reoccupy some of the historical Western Armenian lands and incorporate them into the Soviet Armenian Republic. The ARF, regardless of its ideological opposition to the Soviet Union at the time, agreed to a détente with its arch-enemy for such a nascent purpose. Having access to archival material from republican Turkey, the Soviet Union, Armenia, France, Britain, as well as the memoirs and letters of some prominent ARF leaders involved in the Kurdish rebellions of the time creates a unique opportunity to present a more detailed account about the period under.

Giuria, 7 – 10125 Torino, Italy 4Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale, Dipartimento di Scienze e Innovazione Tecnologica, viale T. Michel, 11 – 15121 Alessandria, Italy (Received 1 November 2015) Abstract The manuscript of Edessa or ms. 3290, a XVIII century Armenian manuscript kept at Biblioteca Universitaria di Bologna, has been thoroughly studied from the religious, artistic, historical and diagnostic point of view. Non-invasive measurements on the miniatures have been carried out in situ with portable instruments in order to evaluate the pictorial materials used to decorate this beautiful codex, lavishly illuminated with full- page miniatures. The results of the diagnostic study suggested that at least three different painters, each one with its own characteristic palette, contributed to the illumination of the manuscript. Precious colorants were employed for painting, among which of particular interest is the combined use of ultramarine blue and gold, considered the most valuable pictorial materials available to painters. Such a study could be a starting point for a larger research on the heritage of Armenian manuscripts held in Italian institutions.

  • Armenian Press in Turin. 1915-18 Sona Haroutyunian Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
    Armenia, Caucaso e Asia Centrale Ricerche 2020 a cura di Carlo Frappi e Paolo Sorbello Armenian Press in Turin. 1915-18 Sona Haroutyunian Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia Abstract 1915 marked the start of a bloodier phase of the Armenian tragedy. 1915 was also the year in which Italy interrupted its diplomatic presence in Anatolia and entered the war against the Ottoman Empire. For the few Armenians then resident in Italy this co- incidence of circumstances constituted a mobilising factor: being in many cases citizens of the Ottoman Empire, on the one hand, they had to demonstrate their diversity with respect to the Turks, and on the other hand, the assumption of active behaviour towards the host country aimed at enhancing their belonging and cultural prerogatives. With the aim to investigate how the Genocide was experienced by the Armenian community in Italy, the paper will focus on the magazine Armenia. Eco delle rivendicazioni armene (Armenia. Echo of Armenian Claims) born in Turin and published between 1915-18. Keywords Armenia Magazine Torino. Armenian-Italian Community. Armenian Geno- cide. Armenian Press. Italian Press. Summary 1 Introduction. – 2 Press Coverage of the Armenian Genocide. – 3 Concluding Remarks. 1 Introduction The Armenian population of Italy had a multilayered configuration over the centuries. Different sources testify the arrival of Armenians as pilgrims and merchants, priests or skilled financiers, students, literary men and artists.1 1 There is a large bibliography on the presence of Armenians in Italy. I shall note here only a few key works as a guide to further bibliography: Manoukian 2014; Comneno 2012; Zekiyan 1978, 1996, 2006; Zekiyan, Ferrari 2004; Hermet, Cogni Ratti di Desio 1993; Adalian 1992; Bardakjian 1976.
