Speaking Scars, Tattooed Texts: “Embodied Archives” as Feminist Interpretation of the Armenian Genocide
Join the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Salem State University for a talk by Professor Elyse Semerdjian, author of Remnants: Embodied Archives of the Armenian Genocide (Stanford University Press, 2023). Professor Semerdjian will discuss her research on “embodied archives,” a feminist critique of archival practice in Armenian Studies. She will examine how physical and material remnants, such as scars and tattooed texts, function as historical records, challenging conventional notions of what constitutes evidence of violence against Armenian women victims.
