    Conversion and Empire: Byzantine Missionaries, Foreign Rulers, and Christian Narratives (ca. 300-900) by Alexander Borislavov Angelov A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Professor John V.A. Fine, Jr., Chair Professor Emeritus H. Don Cameron Professor Paul Christopher Johnson Professor Raymond H. Van Dam Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes © Alexander Borislavov Angelov 2011 To my mother Irina with all my love and gratitude ii Acknowledgements To put in words deepest feelings of gratitude to so many people and for so many things is to reflect on various encounters and influences. In a sense, it is to sketch out a singular narrative but of many personal “conversions.” So now, being here, I am looking back, and it all seems so clear and obvious. But, it is the historian in me that realizes best the numerous situations, emotions, and dilemmas that brought me where I am. I feel so profoundly thankful for a journey that even I, obsessed with planning, could not have fully anticipated. In a final analysis, as my dissertation grew so did I, but neither could have become better without the presence of the people or the institutions that I feel so fortunate to be able to acknowledge here. At the University of Michigan, I first thank my mentor John Fine for his tremendous academic support over the years, for his friendship always present when most needed, and for best illustrating to me how true knowledge does in fact produce better humanity.

    Rubina Peroomian, UCLA, [email protected] "Truth is Not Only Violated by Falsehood; it May be Equally Outraged by Silence" or The Suppression of the Memory of the Armenian Genocide in Turkey Beginning from the inception of the Turkish Republic, the CUP (Committee of Union and Progress, also known as the Young Turk party) policy of Turkification resumed full force and was implemented upon ethnic and religious minorities, among them the Armenian remnants of the 1915 Genocide. The Armenian cultural revival in Constantinople, between 1918 and 1923, was cut short by the encroachment of the Kemalist army and Mustafa Kemal’s eventual control over the entire country. The CUP ideology of “Turkey for the Turks only” was revived but camouflaged by a less threatening and inherently more inciting notion of “One Nation, One Language, One Religion!” The goal was achieved not only by impositions on the Republic’s infrastructural domains, especially the educational system and media, but also by the implementation of special laws and regulations, such as the abolition of non-Turkish surnames in 1934,1 denying Armenians, among others, who could claim Armenianness by a name that related to their ancestors. This was followed by the 1942 wealth tax (varlik vergisi), extreme and disproportionate taxation levied on non-Muslims, stripping them of their belongings, driving them out of business. The 1955 pogroms, 6-7 September, against Greeks spreading over Armenians as well, was another show of intolerance against non-Muslim ethnic minorities. The policy of Turkification was accelerated by the 1960s campaign highlighting the 1928 slogan “Fellow citizen, speak Turkish! (Vatandaş, Türkçe Konuş!) prohibiting the use of any language but Turkish.2 1 Even before the promulgation of The Law on Surnames, No.

    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................

В статье на материале исторических сочинений первых армянских историков- писателей V–VII вв. поднимается вопрос об особенностях организации текстового пространства армянских «Историй». Делается вывод о том, что в структуре рассмотренных трудов заметен некий общий исторический сценарий, в рамках которого судьба армянского народа ставится в прямую зависимость от их приверженности христианской вере. Показывается, что события армянской действительности позднеантичного времени дали основания для написания двух разных сценариев истории армянского народа: оптимистического и пессимистического. Ключевые слова: армянская христианская историография, Агатангехос, Павстос Бузанд, Егише, Мовсес Хоренаци, Лазарь Парпеци, Себеос, поздняя Античность. P.А.

Focusing on the historical works of the first Armenian historians and writers of V-VII centuries the issue scrutinizes the peculiarities and formula of the textual organization characteristic to the Armenian "Histories". The author concludes that the structures of the works under consideration draw upon somewhat common historical scenario implying the fate of the Armenian people’s instant dependance on their commitment to the Christianity. The author shows that the events of the Armenian late antique history gave grounds for developing of two different blueprints of the Armenian history: the worst-case and the optimistic ones. Keywords: Armenian Christian historical writing, Agathangelos, P’awstos Buzand, Elishe, Ghazar Parpetsi, Moses Khorenats’i, Sebeos, Late Antiquity.
