  • The United States' Various Responses to the Armenian Genocide
    The Alexandrian II, no. 1 (2013) The United States’ Various Responses to the Armenian Genocide Rebecca Johnson In 1915 during the First World War, the Turks of the Ottoman Empire killed a significant number of Christian Armenians. The Turkish leaders targeted the Armenian people for allying with Turkey’s traditional enemy, Russia. The Turks deported most Armenians to camps and murdered them, but also killed others in their homes and communities where U.S. missionaries and diplomats witnessed it. The Americans then reported these atrocities to the U.S. asking for intervention. These reports brought about awareness of the killings and prompted various responses from the United States. An immediate popular response came from the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief (ACASR). ACASR successfully raised millions of dollars for Armenian relief through its self-directed efforts to hold fundraisers and rallies throughout the country. The government responded informally through the American Committee for the Independence of Armenia (ACIA), designed to help Armenia gain independence. This long-range response failed in gaining independence for Armenia because the committee had to persuade another entity, the federal government, to act in a particular way over which the committee had no control. This paper examines the differences between the American’s nongovernmental and governmental response; in particular it maintains that the private committee, the ACASR, was more successful than the quasi-governmental ACIA because ACASR’s goals were more immediate and achievable through its own efforts. In 1915 during the First World War, the Turks of the Ottoman Empire killed a significant number of Christian Armenians.

"Lest They Perish": The Armenian Genocide and the Making of Modern Humanitarian Media in the U.S., 1915-1925 Abstract Between celebrity spokesmen and late night informercials, international humanitarian aid organizations use multiple media strategies to generate public interest in their programs. Though this humanitarian media has seemingly proliferated in the past thirty years, these publicity campaigns are no recent phenomenon but one that emerged from the World War I era. "Lest They Perish" is a case study of the modernization of international humanitarian media in the U.S. during and after the Armenian genocide from 1915 to 1925. This study concerns the Near East Relief, an international humanitarian organization that raised and contributed over $100,000,000 in aid to the Armenians during these years of violence. As war raged throughout Europe and Western Asia, American governmental propagandists kept the public invested in the action overseas. Private philanthropies were using similar techniques aimed at enveloping prospective donors in "whirlwind campaigns" to raise funds.

  • Post-Exilic Armenian “Homecoming” Films
    Post-Exilic Armenian “Homecoming” Films: Working-through the Traumatic Postmemory of 1915 ............ by Kumru Bilici, BA (Hons.) A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Film Studies Carleton University OTTAWA, Ontario Submitted August 2016 © 2016, Kumru Bilici i We are two sick nations: Armenians and Turks. The Armenians are suffering an enormous trauma in relation to the Turks who live through a major paranoia towards the Armenians. We are both a clinical case…. Who will heal us? Is it the decision of French or the US Senate? Who is our doctor to write the prescription? The Armenians are the Turks' and the Turks are the Armenians' doctor. There’s no other doctor or prescription. Our medicine is dialogue. Hrant Dink ii Abstract The Armenian Genocide and its multigenerational effects have long been a topic of cinematic representation. Given the scarcity of archival images and the contested history of the events of 1915, filmmakers have historically been preoccupied with proving the genocide and recalling its trauma. Here, I draw attention to a group of recent documentaries by post-exilic Armenians depicting their emotionally difficult return journeys to Turkey against the background of continuing denial; and I propose that these independent and personal “homecoming” films help us better understand the Armenian filmmakers’ multigenerational diasporic rupture and relationship with their ancestral homeland. Through close examination of three of these documentaries, I argue that the post-exilic Armenian “homecoming” films are cautious yet promising cinematic memory work towards the working-through of the trauma of 1915 seeking the possibilities of restoring an unwelcoming space back into a homeland.

  • Traces, Bones, Desert
    Traces, bones, desert: the extermination of the Armenians through the photographer’s eye HUMAN REMAINS & VIOLENCE Anouche Kunth Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique [email protected] Abstract1 Braving the Ottoman’s ban on capturing any images of the persecuted Armenians, witnesses dodged censorship and photographed pictures that would later be branded as proof at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919–20. Despite the challenge of these images to representations of the Armenian genocide, they were soon forgotten after the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne erased the Armenian Question, while time took care of destroying the corpses abandoned in the desert. This article will examine the image-disappearance dialectic through distinct temporalities of remembrance and commemoration, each of which mobilises its own specific, iconographical semantics. In response to contemporary challenges, the repertoire of images has not remained sealed; over the last decade it has been reopened through depictions of bare landscapes and stretches of desert and bones that sud- denly pierce through the earth. The article will show how these images implicitly speak of the disappearance and seek meaning through emptiness. Key words: Armenian genocide, denial, image, icon, erasing memory The ‘cloud of denial and unknowing’2 that has long prevented the world from knowing clearly about and comprehending the genocide of the Armenians was, and still is, a challenge to its representation. Photography strove to meet this challenge right from the perpetration of the crime when, braving the official ban on capturing any image of the persecutions that were taking place, eyewitnesses took rare pictures that would be held up as proof after the First World War.
