Hi Zeynep,

I am not working on the Turkish-Armenian border but when I was doing my fieldwork it happened to visit Armenia and the monastery of Khor Virap and i had an interesting discussion about Ararat and the borderwiht some young Armenians of the diaspora-they were coming from Jordan- and I was think maybe pilgrimages might be an intersting practice to examine regarding the border,
good luvk and keep in contact

Hello everybody,

I am planning to focus on Turkish-Armenian border (a closed one) for my future researches. Yet, I cannot find anybody who is working directly this border in South Caucasus or at least the local dynamics between two states. Is there anybody do you know?
Thanks for your interest in advance!

Cher tous, J'ai l'immense plaisir de vous informer de la parution, ce 21 janvier 2010, de l'ouvrage collectif "Les déportations en héritage", co-dirigé pas Aurélie Campana, Grégory Dufaud et moi-même.

Les déportations en héritage, Les peuples réprimés du Caucase et de Crimée hier et aujourd’hui " Cet ouvrage revient sur l’histoire des peuples déportés du Caucase et de Crimée, sous un angle jusque là peu abordé, celui de la comparaison des déportations et de leurs impacts sur les situations politiques et sociales actuelles de ces peuples. Privilégiant une approche pluridisciplinaire, il mesure sur la longue durée les conséquences de ces déportations, leur actualité et leur traitement, leur héritage et leur mémoire dans le contexte postsoviétique."

L'intro et la table des matières sont téléchargeables sur le site des PUR : http://www.pur-editions.fr/detail.php?idOuv=2267

Hi Florian, hi dear colleagues, great to be a part of this network!
The lamb is not to overlook indeed and if you look at it from the culinary perspective lamb is omnipresent in this area (shashlyk, horovats, kebab...).

Just a few words about me, I am anthropologist coming from Russia, living in Berlin and working on migration, memory and ethnoraphy of postsocialist urban life in Yerevan and Baku. In our project at Humboldt University, Berlin we started to explore the transformation of urban spaces in the three South Caucasian capitals. This September we organise in Tbilisi a workshop under the title "Urban Spaces: Caucasian places. Transformations in the Capital Cities". A more detailed information including program will follow very soon! Those who are interested in anthropology of urban life (not only in the Caucasus!) are invited to participate at the workshop. (22.23-09.2009). Tsypylma

I'm off to Hong Kong on Friday, 19 June 2008, to present "Lifting the Veil: Forecasting Tourism in Post-Soviet Georgia" at the 29th International Symposium on Forecasting. The presentation features anthropological and archaeological interests for tourists.

Glad to participate in this group. By the way this my photo was taken in tushet!:)

Comment by Florian Mühlfried on June 15, 2009 at 11:09pm

You know that I developped a certain sympathy for sheep when doing fieldwork among the Tushetians. Just couldn't escape it. I agree its the classical romanticism of anthroplogists. That's one thing. The other thing is that when I was looking at my images of Caucasus landscapes or Caucasian people or anything related to that, there was always a certain argument against the choice of one particular picture. If we would choose a picture of the mountains, we would replicate the stereotype that the Caucasus is only about mountains. If we would choose a picture from the countryside, we would depict the Caucasus as somewhat anti-urban. If we choose a picture of people, the question is what makes these people so distinctive. In the worst case, it gives the imression of an ethnic zoo, with "real Caucasians" at display. Finally, and I guess this was the most important reason for me, when you look at the "logo" of most other groups, you forget it immediately. In most cases, you can't even figure out what the pictures show. But who will overlook a lamb??!

Comment by Kevin Tuite on June 15, 2009 at 10:53pm

So Florian, why did you choose a lamb as the symbol (or mascot) of our group? Alpine transhumance? Herd instinct? Sacrificial offering? Cuteness and innocence? Agnus Dei qui tollit peccata mundi? aba, gvitxari!
