Download or read book A History of Armenian Women s Writing 1880 1922 written by Victoria Rowe and published by Cambridge Scholars Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Armenian Womenâ (TM)s Writing: 1880-1921 introduces the reader to the wealth and diversity of womenâ (TM)s writing in Armenian in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The volume focuses on six Armenian women writers-Srpouhi Dussap, Sibyl, Mariam Khatisian, Marie Beylerian, Shushanik Kurghinian and Zabel Yesayian and these authorsâ (TM) novels, short stories, poems and essays. The study contends that Western and Eastern Armenian women writers, while not displaying a uniformity of opinion and vision, nevertheless found inspiration in the activism, writings and arguments of one another and form a literary genealogy of womenâ (TM)s writing in Armenian. The study has several objectives. For general readers and those interested primarily in the historical account it provides a chronological description of the formative period of modern Armenian womenâ (TM)s writing beginning in 1880 with the publication of a series of articles on womenâ (TM)s education and employment by Srpouhi Dussap and concludes with the physical dislocations and psychological traumas of the Armenian Genocide in 1915 and the fall of the first independent Republic of Armenia in 1921. On another level the book concentrates on disentangling the contemporaneous intellectual debates about Armenian womenâ (TM)s proper sphere. The author argues that the role of the Armenian woman was central to debates about national identity, education, the family and society by Armenian writers and women writers sought to participate in and guide this discourse through literary texts.
Download or read book Enigma of the Armenian Alphabet written by Vahan Setyan and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-24 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering the apparent associations between Armenian alphabet letters and some metal element proton numbers, one may ask whether the Armenian alphabet - a group of symbols that resurfaced again after the complete destruction of Armenian literature by the onslaught of Christianity in the Western world - contains a larger realm of information than the eye may initially see. The attempt to answer this question is less trivial than one may think and more paradoxical than one may imagine.
Download or read book New Approaches to Medieval Armenian Language and Literature written by Joseph Johannes Sicco Weitenberg and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 1995 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a reevaluation of the character of medieval (12-17th century) Armenian literature and language. It contains a number of contributions by leading Armenologists (Cowe, Russell, Thomson, and Stone) and of a younger generation of scholars who attempt to confront the traditional approach of this period with the new insights gained in modern occidental medieval studies. One may call these papers New because they study the literary highlights not only of Cilician Armenia of the Crusader period, but of all Armenia and put these in a wider cultural context: the authors emphasize both inner-Armenian continuity and contemporary external (Persian, Turkish) literary and linguistic influences. The papers concern Armenian lyrical poetry, models for the evaluation of the medieval Armenian literary production (both traditional and new), and the linguistic conditions which favoured such a production. Particular attention has been given to the cultural background of Armenian grammatical studies and to the character of the first Armenian grammars printed in the Occident.
Download or read book Enigma of the Armenian Alphabet written by Vahan Setyan and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Armenian alphabet reveals the atomic numbers of some metal elements. This work embarks on a preliminary logical and historical analysis of the numerical values of the alphabet and their predictions of the proton count of some metals within the periodic table. Considering the apparent precision of the associations, one may ask whether the Armenian alphabet - a group of symbols that resurfaced again after the complete destruction of Armenian literature by the onslaught of Christianity in the Western world- contains a larger realm of information than the eye may initially see. The attempt to answer this question is less trivial than one may think and more paradoxical than one may imagine.
Download or read book Studies in Armenian Literature and Christianity written by Robert W. Thomson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1994 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Thomson deals here with the origins of Armenian Christian literature and its development as an individual literary culture. At the same time, these studies make available to students of Patristics and Byzantine history some of the wealth of information preserved in the Armenian sources. One set of articles, focusing on the question of origins, looks at the influence and use made of Christian Syriac and Greek writings, both theological and historical, as well as those of late classical antiquity. Others examine how the Armenians viewed themselves in their ambiguous position between Byzantium and Iran, and how those views were expressed in their historical writing. A key theme, as the author would see it, is the formulation of a 'received tradition', and the ways in which later writers interacted with it and used it, removed from its original context, to create their own images of Armenian individuality.

Book excerpt: Introducing the English - Armenian version of the earlier English publication. This work embarks on a logical analysis of the numerical values of the Armenian alphabet and their predictions of the proton count of some metals within the periodic table. Considering the apparent precision of the associations, one may ask whether the Armenian alphabet - a group of symbols that resurfaced again after the complete destruction of Armenian literature by the onslaught of Christianity in the Western world- contains a larger realm of information than the eye may initially see. The attempt to answer this question is less trivial than one may think and more paradoxical than one may imagine. This brief work is more than about ancient symbols; it is about the need to embrace reason, logic and intellectual honesty to venture toward the torch of truth and wisdom.
