    No full text
    Originally his “installation” lecture as the first holder of the Richard Hovannisian Chair of Modern Armenian History, Aslanian’s 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 d’histoire armĂ©nienne moderne, cet essai de Sebouh Aslanian plaide en faveur d’une histoire armĂ©nienne Ă©tudiĂ©e non plus en tant qu’histoire nationale mais pleinement « connectĂ©e » Ă  l’histoire mondiale ou globale, Ă  ses apports empiriques et mĂ©thodologiques

    Le prĂ©sent numĂ©ro de varia reflĂšte la dimension multidisciplinaire inhĂ©rente au projet fondateur d’EAC. L’article de Vazken Davidian interroge certaines Ɠuvres et la biographie du peintre ottoman Simon Hagopian, porte d’entrĂ©e Ă  la fois vers une micro-histoire des milieux artistiques armĂ©niens d’Istanbul du dĂ©but du xxe siĂšcle et, beaucoup plus largement, vers une relecture critique de la maniĂšre dont s’écrit jusqu’à prĂ©sent l’histoire de l’art, aussi bien en Turquie que dans l’ArmĂ©nie contemporaine. À noter Ă©galement l’étude du gĂ©ographe Nicolas Ressler-Fessy sur l’importance locale de l’AKP (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, parti actuellement au pouvoir en Turquie) Ă  Kayseri, ainsi que, en fin de volume, l’essai de l'historien Sebouh Aslanian, plaidoyer pour une historiographie armĂ©nienne « dĂ©sinsularisĂ©e » et pleinement intĂ©grĂ©e Ă  l’histoire globale

    Repertoires of family life and the anchoring of Afghan trading networks in Ukraine

    No full text
    This article examines the “repertories” of family life of men of Afghan background in Odessa, Ukraine. It focuses on these men's intimate relationships with “local women” 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 “local women” 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
