Monuments and Identities in the Caucasus (Brill, 2023) is the
first multidisciplinary volume whose focus is on the barely
accessible highlands between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and
their invaluable artistic heritage. Numerous ancient and
mediaeval monuments of Artsakh/Karabagh and Nakhichevan
find themselves in the crucible of a strife involving mutually
exclusive national accounts. Those which have not already
been demolished are gravely endangered today by the politics
of cultural destruction endorsed by the modern state of
Azerbaijan.
This volume contains seventeen contributions by renowned
scholars from eight nations, rare photographic documentation,
and a detailed inventory of all the monuments discussed.
Join volume co-editors Dr. Igor Dorfmann-Lazarev (Sofia University) and Haroutioun
Khatchadourian (independent researcher) with Dr. Marcello Flores (Università di Siena),
who wrote the volume’s Introduction. Introductory remarks will be given by Dr. Sebouh
D. Aslanian (University of California, Los Angeles).
Presented by the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR),
Association Internationale des Etudes Arméniennes (AIEA), Mashtots Chair in Armenian
Studies at Harvard University, Promise Armenian Institute at UCLA, Richard Hovannisian
Chair in Modern Armenian History at UCLA, and Society for Armenian Studies (SAS)
