Panel on Vahé and Hagop Oshagan Held in Lisbon

Taline Voskeritchian

 

Lisbon was recently the site of two important events related to the literature of the Armenian diaspora.

The first was a panel that convened at the International Symposium of the Modern Language Association, the major professional association for scholars and teachers of language and literature, including comparative literature. This year’s theme was Remembering Voices Lost. According to the organizers, the conference, which took place between July 23 and 25 in the Portuguese capital, aimed to “recuperate the ‘lost voices’ of humanity: those that have been buried or forgotten and those that have been marginalized or othered on the grounds of their perceived foreignness.”

What'd You Say?

Some days ago, I read Hagop Gulludjian’s article “Atabdatzman Yev Eendegrman Oogheenerov” (Ադապտացման եւ ինտեգրման ուղիներով) in Armenian. I marveled at how well this tongue-in-cheek piece presented one aspect of the problems challenging our continued use of the Armenian language, and I felt compelled to translate it. I asked for and received the author’s permission. Of course, any errors in translation are naught but my own.

Cátedra Armenia en la Universidad del Salvador, a 22 años de su creación

¿Dónde se halla Armenia, en Occidente o en Oriente? ¿Cómo contestar a esta pregunta?

Armenia se halla en la encrucijada de los dos continentes, área que no sólo revela de un choque geográfico sino asimismo cultural, político y espiritual. De allí que el estudio de toda la temática armenia se torne compleja, difícil de definir con precisión, de abarcar de un solo trazo.
