DR. PEROOMIAN DISCUSSES HER BOOK AT UC IRVINE
January 24, 2013 - 13:26 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The Humanities Gateway at UC Irvine hosted earlier
this month Dr. Rubina Peroomian, currently a Research Associate at the
UCLA Near Eastern Languages and Cultures Department, Asbarez reported.
It was one out of a series of lectures to be held at UC Irvine
to educate and bring awareness to the Irvine community about the
Armenian Genocide as well as sponsor the yet to be established Armenian
studies program.
The lecture began with Professor Touraj Daryaee, professor of ancient
Armenian and Persian studies at UC Irvine, who introduced Professor
Peroomian with a brief summary of her life, achievements, and active
role in the Armenian community.
Peroomian has been an expert on the Armenian genocide for years,
teaching and also educating others on how to effectively communicate
knowledge about the horrific massacres of 1915. Her literary works
alongside her unfailing faith in the Armenian Cause have gained her
a Lifetime Achievement award by the Armenian Educational Foundation,
one by the Armenian National Committee of America, and many other
medals and awards.
Peroomian discussed her latest book "The Armenian Genocide in
Literature: Perceptions of Those Who Lived Through the Years
of Calamity" (2012), which provides the means of analyzing and
understanding the interpretations of transmission of the traumatic
memory through first, second, third, and even fourth generations
of survivors.
By conducting interviews with Genocide survivors and reading stories
of genocide, Peroomian broke into the "gloomy labyrinth of Armenian
Genocide literature" and was deeply affected by the material she
heard and read.
