Cookbooks and Social Transformations in Georgia
Cooking Up National Identity: Cookbooks and Social Transformations in Georgia by Ana Makharadze Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors: Daniel Monterescu Alexandra Kowalski Budapest, Hungary CEU eTD Collection 2020 Abstract: The main objective of this thesis is to show how cookbooks both reflect and influence the transformation of national identity in post-socialist Georgia. To address this issue, I trace versions of the cookbook, Georgian Cuisine and Tried Housekeeping Notes by Barbare Jorjadze, in three periods of Georgian history (Pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet). I conduct discourse analysis of three editions of Jorjadze’s cookbook in reference to other cookbooks or similar projects from respective periods: Book for the Kitchen, The Book of Tasty and Healthy Food, The Family Book and restaurant ‘Barbarestan’ – commercial project that revolves around Jorjadze’s cookbook and identity. This work depicts how and why this cookbook has become a cultural artefact that bears profound emotional legitimacy and nurtures national sentiments in the community. Through tracing the narratives that are woven around these cookbooks, I demonstrate how the process of forming post-socialist identity in today’s Georgia is built on all the stages the cookbooks have gone through in the past century before they became material objects they are today. This research found that the cookbooks are used as a means of social influence in post-socialist Georgia by simply offering this narrative to the society as a choice of action in wide repertoire. The authors of these projects exercise some level of social influence, the degree of which is later “decided” by the public. -

The Chronology of the Archbishops of Alaverdi Part II
The Chronology of the Archbishops of Alaverdi Part II XI century Abba of Alaverdi Grigol (Choloqashvili) Approximately 1664-1676 Grigol Choloqashvili was a representative of a noble family being in close relations with the Kakhetian royal family. His father – Revaz Choloqashvili was a Sakhltukhutsesi (court administrator) and a devoted companion of King Teimuraz I. Grigol Choloqashvili’s brother, also Revaz Choloqashvili, was an active political figure. The period of Grigol Choloqashvili’s being an Abba of Alaverdi was distinguished with a relatively peaceful development of the Kakhetian Kingdom. In 1664, on Shah’s request, the son of Vakhtang V Shahnavaz, Archil, was sent to Iran, converted into Islam and granted the reign of Kakheti (1664-1675) under the name of Shah Nazar-Khan1*. Soon after his ascending the throne, Archil transferred the capital city from Gremi to Telavi and renovated the churches of the whole Kakhetian Kingdom, “appointed bishops, strengthened faith and intensified building in the country”.1 Immediately after his crowning in Kakheti in 1664, King Archil resumes donations of Teimuraz I and Rostom Khan to Alaverdi St. George’s Cathedral and promises not to break the practice.2 There is no information on the identity of the Archbishop of Alaverdi of those times, though we assume that it must have been Grigol Choloqashvili. The Head Priest of Alaverdi, Grigol Choloqashvili, is first mentioned in the existing materials in connection with Archil’s marriage in 1667. In 1668 Archil married a granddaughter of Teimuraz I – the King of Kakhetians. Along with Kakhetian noblemen, the Head Priest of Alaverdi – Grigol (Choloqashvili), also played an important role in arrangement of the marriage of King Archil to Ketevan Bagrationi: “Kakhetians and Grigol of Alaverdi came to the King of Kakhetians, Archil and persuaded him to marry Ketevan, the granddaughter of Teimuraz.” Archil married Ketevan; “the joy of Kakhetians was immense”.3 It is noteworthy that the Archbishop of Alaverdi duly appreciates the political importance of the wedding. -
Alaverdi Eparchy
Eka Kacharava Alaverdi Eparchy (XVII Century) From the second half of the 16th century to the beginning of the 17th century Alaverdi, the main spiritual centre of the Kingdom of Kakheti, flourished. The situation changed drastically at the turn of the 17th century, when the life of the Alaverdi eparchy was defined completely by the political developments occurring in the country. At the end of the 16th century King Aleksandre II of Kakheti (1574-1605) restored the Alaverdi church and built the chapel of the Mother of God. Presumably, it was also in his reign that the nunnery was established at Alaverdi. Among the persons who took the veil were members of the royal family as well. At the same time Alaverdi was the patrimonial ossuary of the Kakhetian kings, which facilitated considerably its material well-being. On the basis of the documents that have come down to us, it may be said that at the end of the 16th century the property of the Alaverdi seigneurial estate included churches and monasteries with their income, scores of peasants in different villages, separate villages, large vineyards, wine cellars, cattle. Some of the Alaverdi serfs and estates were near it territorially, and some others were quite far away. The improvement of the economic state of the Alaverdi seigneurial estate was mostly in the care of the royal court. The economic growth of Alaverdi continued to the beginning of the 17th century. 1 The first half of the 17th century proved extremely hard for the Kingdom of Kakheti, which had been before that time more or less peaceful and advanced. -

Impact of Urbanisation on Population's Health in Mtskheta Region – Georgia
Impact of urbanisation on population’s health in Mtskheta region – Georgia, from Late Bronze Age to Early Middle Ages A thesis submitted by Marine Chkadua ORCID: 0000-0002-2426-4006 in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2019 Department of Anatomy and Neuroscience Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences Faculty The University of Melbourne ii Abstract The emergence of urbanisation is considered to be an important period in human history as it is associated with an increase in population density, diversification of subsistence activites, and the establishment of ancient cities, often with poor sanitation. Each of these factors contributed to the spread of disease and a change in diet. Numerous investigations suggest that the impact of early urbanisation on population health and diet is not homogeneous everywhere but varies based on the particularities of the region in question. The Caucasus is one such region. Located between the Black and Caspian seas it has always been chracterized by vibrant cultural dynamism. It acted as a frontier between urban societies of the ancient Near East and the nomadic populations of the ancient Eurasian steppes. As such this is an excellent location to study the effect of urbanisstion on health and diet. This dissertation focuses on paleopathological examinations of skeletal materials from the region of Caucasus, specifically the Greater Mtskheta territories located in the central part of the south Caucasus. The anthropological material from Greater Mtskheta forms one of the largest collections in the region. Human skeletal materials from 13 cemeteries, from three important time-periods were examined: the Late Bronze/Early Iron Age pre-state society with rural-type settlements (15th– 6th centuries BC); the Antique period with the emergence of urbanisation and the establishment of the Iberian kingdom (5th century BC–4th century AD); and the Early Middle Age period with developed urbanisation and the collapse of the Iberian kingdom (4th–7th centuries AD).
