  • Reflections on Fieldwork in the Region of Ani Christina Maranci I Study the Medieval Armenian Monuments—Churche
    In the Traces: Reflections on Fieldwork in the Region of Ani Christina Maranci I study the medieval Armenian monuments—churches, monasteries, fortresses, palaces, and more—in what is now eastern Turkey (what many call western Arme- nia). For me, this region is at once the most beautiful, and most painful, place on earth. I am the grandchild of survivors of the Armenian Genocide of 1915–22, in which Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire suffered mass deportation and extermination: a crime that still goes unrecognized by the Turkish state.1 Scholars have characterized the Armenian monuments in Turkey as physical traces of their lost homeland.2 While my scholarship addresses these sites as historical and archi- tectural/artistic phenomena, that work does not often capture the moods and emotions I feel when I am there.3 I hope to offer here a sense of the more personal dimensions of firsthand work with the buildings and their landscapes. Many important medieval Armenian monuments stand on and around the closed international border between the Republics of Turkey and Armenia. Some of them are accessible to tourists, while others, like the church of Mren, remain forbidden, as they lie within or too close to the military zone. Dated to circa 638, and once part of the princely territory of the Kamsarakan family, Mren became the summer residence of the royal Armenian Bagratids in the tenth century.4 Once surrounded by a network of buildings, vineyards, and roads, now the church stands alone. Figure 1 illustrates the Armenian high plateau: deforested from antiquity, it is a rocky tableland lacerated by gorges and ringed with mountain chains.

  • Armenian Architecture Through the Pages of Robert G. Ousterhout's Book
    790 A. Kazaryan УДК: 72.033 ББК: 85.11 А43 DOI: 10.18688/aa199-7-70 A. Kazaryan Armenian Architecture through the Pages of Robert G. Ousterhout’s Book “Eastern Medieval Architecture: The Building Traditions of Byzantium and Neighboring Lands”1 Among the historians of Byzantine architecture, professor of the University of Pennsylvania Robert G. Ousterhout holds a prominent place due to the nature of his scientific interests and distinct individuality manifested in a combination of full-scale study of monuments and skillful formulation of historical and theoretical issues. A new perspective on the development of building art, architectural composition, function and symbolic content of buildings and complexes is common to his articles and monographs on the architecture of Constantinople, Jerusalem, and Cappadocia. In his new monograph “Eastern Medieval Architecture: The Building Traditions of Byzantium and Neighboring Lands” [10], along with the Byzantine regions, R. Ousterhout pays attention to the architecture of Christian countries that surrounded Byzantium and had close historical and cultural ties with it, as well as Muslim political entities on the territories torn away from the empire. This fact sets this book apart from most of the previous review studies on Byzantine art and architecture, in which only those territories related to Christian countries were included in the circle of the problems discussed. Some other innovations include a survey of the post-Byzantine architecture up to its later forms of development, discussion of the problem of reproducing the ideas of Byzantine architecture to the rival powers — the Ottoman and Russian empires — and, in the epilogue of the book, to the architecture of Modern and Contemporary times.
