  • 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.

What images are we talking about? Representations of reality, not formatted such as carried by the informative or commercial images, but images that invent original modes of representation. We are talking about creative documentary films. Of very different kinds, every film has to allow, by carrying each an assumed artistic point of view, to explore in depth the given societies. As works of artistic creation, the life expectancy of creative documentaries will be well beyond their moment of production and will constitute in the long run the memory and heritage of each country by documenting and testifying of the present time for the future. Docmonde federates the various international training programs (Europe, Africa, Eurasia, Asia, Indian Ocean, Caribbean, South America, the Pacific) initiated by Ardèche Images then developed by Docmonde that are Africadoc, Eurasiadoc, Doc Indian Ocean, Doc Pacific, Asiadoc, Doc Andes, Doc Amazonia-Caribbean. Every year, each program proposes scriptwriting residences, which allow documentary authors to develop their film project. When possible and relevant, the scriptwriting residences are combined with intensive training for producers. The Coproduction Meetings that follow the training courses gather producers and broadcasters of countries where the authors come from as well as European producers and TV broadcasters in front of whom the selected authors present their projects.
