2521. Iconoclastic Ruptures: Black Lives Matter and the cleansing of colonial memoryGal Kirn, 2020, polemic, discussion, commentary Abstract: The removal of racist and oppressive pasts through the toppling of monuments standing in the epicentres of colonial and slave dominions, the US, UK and across Europe, has ruffled the feathers of leading conservative politicians, historians and even some ‘liberal’ thinkers and representatives, who claim that historical revisionism should not come with ‘erasure’ and iconoclasm. Conservative discourse calls this activity looting, saying that ‘the mob’ commits violent actions against society, its order and property, in the same way rioters loot our tradition and monumental legacy. As a scholar of partisan, socialist and postsocialist transition, focusing on the postsocialist cleansing of memory, I would like to compare these two historical moments: 1990s postsocialist memorial revisionism with the current iconoclasm of the Black Lives Matter movement.

2522. LA FRATELLANZA ARMENO-BULGARA: UNA QUESTIONE DI MERA RETORICA?Giustina Selvelli, 2011, original scientific article Abstract: Tema di questo intervento è l’amicizia fra Bulgari e Armeni e il discorso su di essa quale è venuto sviluppandosi negli argomenti prodotti dai due popoli e radicati nella loro lunga storia di vicinanza e di convivenza.
La vicinanza si fonda principalmente su tre fatti storici: un’in-
venzione alfabetica alle origini di entrambe le tradizioni letterarie, i contatti dei Bulgari con il paulicianesimo, l’insediamento dei profughi armeni in Bulgaria – insediamento così stabile da divenire parte integrante dei processi di autorappresentazione nazionale bulgari e da lasciare traccia, fra l’altro, nel poemetto Armenci di Pejo Javorov.
Le informazioni utilizzate in questo lavoro sono state ricavate da
un’esperienza di ricerca condotta sul campo fra gli Armeni di Plov-
div, oltre che dalla disanima del volume Bălgari i Armenci zaedno
prez vekovete e dallo spoglio di articoli a stampa in lingua bulgara pubblicati sui giornali della minoranza armena di Plovdiv.

2523. DIASPORA ARMENA E ALFABETO: ETNOSIMBOLISMO DI UNA SCRITTURA IDENTITARIAGiustina Selvelli, 2011, original scientific article Abstract: Lo scopo di questo lavoro è stato quello di indagare quale fosse la correlazione fra mantenimento dell’identità armena in contesto diasporico e utilizzo del proprio sistema grafico, a livello non tanto pratico quanto soprattutto simbolico.
La questione di fondo era quella di capire come fosse possibile che un popolo dalle vicissitudini storiche tali da averlo portato a disperdersi in tutti i luoghi del mondo abbia potuto mantenersi attivo a livello di coscienza identitaria nazionale
nonostante la mancanza di una madrepatria indipendente (fino a venti anni fa) e le tendenze assimilatorie dei vari poteri ai quali è stato subordinato.

2524. ALPHABET AND WRITING IN THE ARMENIAN DIASPORA OF PLOVDIV: ANTHROPOLOGICAL AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVESGiustina Selvelli, 2015, original scientific article Abstract: This work investigates the relation between the maintenance of Armenian identity and language and the multifunctional employment of the Armenian writing system in the diasporic context of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Departing from the assumption that a writing system’s cultural meaning goes far beyond its technical function, the aim is to demonstrate how the Armenian alphabet becomes a fundamental component of a process of symbolic cultivation of collective imagery, employed by the local intelligentsia in different writing settings in order to keep the link with the
cultural and spiritual legacy of the historic Armenian motherland alive. In this vision, I integrate the analysis of ethnic identity with the study of the representational factors that allow a group to exist in the symbolic horizon of its members, with
the purpose of underlining the symbolic aspect of ethnicity and identifying the mechanisms active in its persistence in time as a historic and cultural construction.
