he Grandchildren of Refugees: Armenianness and Armenian identities in Greece
In this talk, I will explore intergenerational transmission of memory in the case of the Greek Armenians whose grandparents came to Greece from Asia Minor in 1922 subjected to forced migration. Based on oral history interviews and the analysis of certain memorial productions, I will discuss aspects of Armenianness and Armenian identities in Greece. I will draw both on the recent scholarship on trauma and memory within the field of Armenian Genocide Studies, and the recent scholarship on refugee memory in Greece. The topic of this talk is part of a larger ongoing book project on Armenian refugees in Greece after 1922.
