A conference on Diaspora will take place in April
GLENDALE-An international, academic conference called "Independence and
Beyond: In Search of a New Armenian Diaspora after 1991," organized by
the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Western US Central Committee in
collaboration with the University of Southern California Institute of
Armenian Studies and the Armenian Review, will take place on April 27.
The one-day conference will take place at the Davidson Conference
Center of the University of Southern California (USC) on Saturday,
April 27, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Through its various presentations and discussions, the conference
seeks to examine the impact of the independence of the Republic of
Armenia and subsequent processes of nation-building there on various
facets of Diaspora life, such as political ideologies and cultural
narratives, linguistic and literary production, organizations and
institutions, economic investment, remittances and affiliation,
and hybrid identity formation.
The four thematic panels will feature leading scholars of Armenian,
Diaspora, and Transnational Studies. Using their expertise in
fields that range from Political Science and History to Literature
and Journalism, the conference participants will work toward new
frameworks and definitions in conceptualizing "Diaspora" in the
Armenian context. Traditional paper presentations will be given in
panels entitled, "Revisions of the Narrative of Return" and "Cultural
Narratives and Language in and Evolving Diaspora," while thematic
conversations will be performed in discussion panels entitled, "New
Definitions of Diaspora and Nationalism" and "Online Space and the
Politics of Information Exchange."
The event is free of charge and open to the public.
