The Marble of Armenian History: Or Armenian History as World History
Originally his âinstallationâ lecture as the first holder of the Richard Hovannisian Chair of Modern Armenian History, Aslanianâs essay argues that Armenian history is best studied not as national history but as part of world or global history with its interactive methodology that relies upon and studies interactions, encounters, and connections in world history.Version remaniĂ©e de sa confĂ©rence inaugurale Ă la tĂȘte de la chaire Richard Hovannisian dâhistoire armĂ©nienne moderne, cet essai de Sebouh Aslanian plaide en faveur dâune histoire armĂ©nienne Ă©tudiĂ©e non plus en tant quâhistoire nationale mais pleinement « connectĂ©e » Ă lâhistoire mondiale ou globale, Ă ses apports empiriques et mĂ©thodologiques

Repertoires of family life and the anchoring of Afghan trading networks in Ukraine
This article examines the ârepertoriesâ of family life of men of Afghan background in Odessa, Ukraine. It focuses on these men's intimate relationships with âlocal womenâ and challenges the notion that such unions merely offer a form of emotional escape for migrants or refugees far from home. Instead, we advance two arguments: first, that Afghan men in Ukraine form part of a complex transnational trading network, rather than a bounded group of refugees or migrants; second, that the cross-community relationships between Afghan men and âlocal womenâ play a significant role in the spatial anchoring and commercial fortunes of transnational Afghan traders in Ukraine. In the analysis of our ethnographic data, we consider the importance of the aftermath of the Cold War in shaping the diverse forms of family life within these trading networks
