Edited by Hans-Lukas Kieser, Seyhan Bayraktar, and Khatchig Mouradian, After the Ottomans: Genocide’s Long Shadow and Armenian Resistance (I.B. Tauris, 2023), presents the work of eleven scholars of history, anthropology, literature, and political science exploring the Ottoman Armenians not only as the major victims of the First World War and the post-war treaties, but also as agents striving for survival, writing history, transmitting the memory and searching for justice.
Dr. David Low's talk "Pictures Between Worlds: Harput and New England in Dialogue," will explore long distance photographic dialogues and consider how pictures worked to solidify relationships and sustain communities during a period of great change.
The Armenian contribution to Ottoman photography is supposedly well known, with histories documenting the famous studios of the imperial capital, Ottoman Armenian-run establishments that produced Orientalist visions for tourists and images of modernity for a domestic elite.
