  • Tbilisi As a Center of Crosscultural Interactions (The 19Th– Early 20Thcenturies)
    Khazar Journal Of Humanities and Social Sciences Special Issue, 2018 ©Khazar University Press, 2018 DOI: 10.5782/kjhss.2018.233.252 Tbilisi as a Center of Crosscultural Interactions (The 19th– early 20thCenturies) Nino Chikovani Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia The city of Tbilisi – the capital of Georgia, during its long period of existence, has been an interesting place of meeting and interaction of different cultures. In this context, the present paper deals with one of the most interesting periods in the history of the city. From the beginning of the 19th century, when the establishment of the Russian imperial rule started in the Caucasus, Tbilisi became an official political center of the region; political and economic changes, occurring during the second half of the 19th century, significantly influenced ethnic and religious composition of Tbilisi, its cultural lifetime and mode of life in general. For centuries-long period, Tbilisi, like other big cities (how much big does not matter in this case), was not only the Georgian city in ethnic terms; but also, it represented a blend of different religious and ethnic groups. Not only in a distant past, but just a couple of decades ago, when the phenomenon of the so called ‘city yards’ (which are often called as ‘Italian yards’ and which have almost disappeared from the city landscape) still existed in Tbilisi, their residents spoke several languages fluently. Ethnically and religiously mixed families were not rare. Such type of cities, termed as Cosmo-policies by some researchers, has an ability to transform a visitor, at least temporarily, into a member of “in-group”, in our case – into Tbilisian.

  • The Reflection of Communist Ideology in the Street Renaming Policy in Soviet Yerevan (1921-1939)1
    N. Manucharyan / Analytical Bulletin 8 (2015) The Reflection of Communist Ideology in the Street Renaming Policy in Soviet Yerevan (1921-1939)1 Nelly Manucharyan Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of NAS RA )[email protected]( Keywords: urban toponyms, identity, street renaming, Soviet ideology, Soviet Yerevan, communism, street names, commemoration Introduction Toponyms (place names) are not simply abstract names in the spatial structure of urban areas, but also serve as a system of social and power relations, through which the identity of a city and society is being shaped.2 The latest works in toponymy focus on “the relation of place-name analysis with the study of power.”3 In his article “The power of commemorative street names,” Maoz Azaryahu (1996) asserts that naming streets as an administrative and political procedure is a vivid expression of power.4 According to him, the renaming process itself is an act of political propaganda with a great declarative value and public resonance.5 Since many political regimes legitimize and reinforce their authority through their use of history, commemorative street names have the effect of 1 This research would be impossible without the support of Mr. Amatuni Virabyan - the Director of the National Archive of Armenia, and Mr. Dorvard Abisoghomonyan - the Advisor to the Director of the National Archive of Armenia.

  • (Rc 485–523) of Caucasian Albania in the Tale of Vačʽagan
    AleksanHakobyan The Creation of a “Pious” ImageofKing Vačʽagan II (r.c.485–523) of Caucasian Albania in the Tale of Vačʽagan (Early Sixth Century) The HistoryofAlbania is by the late tenth-century Armenian historian MovsēsDas- xurancʽi, (also known from historiographyand manuscripts as “Kałankatuacʽi”)who was from Artsakh.¹ This work is acompilation of numerous writings,bothlonger and shorter,which come from Artsakh. Since these works werecopied in avery literal manner,they have served as the basis for anumber of scientificcontributions pub- lished over the lastfifteen years on such texts as the Tale of Vačʽagan,the Historyof Catholicos Viro by Anonymous Kałankatuacʽi, the anonymous Historyofthe Year 684, the Canons of Ałuēn,among others. The first of these works was composed at the end of the fifth or the beginning of the sixth centurybyaneyewitness and has historicallybeen giventhe title of the Tale of Vačʽagan (in Armenian “Վաչագանի վէպ”–“Vačʽagani Vēp”;inGerman Wat- schagans Erzählung;inFrench ContedeVatchagan;and in Russian “Повесть оВача- гане”). MovsēsDasxurancʽicopied the Tale into chapters XIV and XVI–XXIII of the first book of his HistoryofAlbania.² The title of one of the chapters –“The life, con- duct,and regulations of Ałuankʽ defined by King Vačʽagan and the discovery of the holyrelics” (Dasx. 1.16,p.42) – must have been the original title of the entire book which the tenth-century historian divided up into chapters by inventing new titles for them. As Ihaveshown in previous publications,³ the Tale of Vačʽagan is amedieval panegyric text written in aclassicalstyle. That is, it is an apologetic hagiography that does not present achronologicalarrangement of facts by year but insteadde- scribes the laudable deeds of its hero in alogical order.The author’sgoal was not to depict acoherent history of Vačʽagan and his house but to present key challenges MovsēsKałankatuacʽi, History of the country of Ałouankʽ.Critical textand preface by V.
