Foremost among the images of the Armenian Genocide is the specter of tattooed Islamized Armenian women. Blue tribal tattoos that covered face and body signified assimilation into Muslim Bedouin and Kurdish households. Among Armenians, the tattooed survivor was seen as a living ethnomartyr or, alternatively, a national stain, and the bodies of women and children figured centrally within the Armenian communal memory and humanitarian imaginary. In Remnants, these tattooed and scar-bearing bodies reveal a larger history, as the lived trauma of genocide is understood through bodies, skin, and--in what remains of those lives a century afterward--bones. With this book, Elyse Semerdjian offers a feminist reading of the Armenian Genocide. She explores how the Ottoman Armenian communal body was dis-membered, disfigured, and later re-membered by the survivor community. Gathering individual memories and archival fragments, she writes a deeply personal history, and issues a call to break open the archival record in order to embrace affect and memory. Traces of women and children rescued during and after the war are reconstructed to center the quietest voices in the historical record. This daring work embraces physical and archival remnants, the imprinted negatives of once living bodies, as a space of radical possibility within Armenian prosthetic memory and a necessary way to recognize the absence that remains"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Armenian Genocide, 1915-1923 $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Armenian Genocide survivors $x History. 650 0 $a Women genocide survivors $x History. 650 0 $a Human body $x Symbolic aspects. 650 0 $a Collective memory $z Armenia. 650 6 $a GeÌnocide armeÌnien, 1915-1916 $x Aspect psychologique. 650 6 $a Survivants du geÌnocide armeÌnien $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Corps humain $x Aspect symbolique. 650 6 $a MeÌmoire collective $z ArmeÌnie. 650 7 $a Women genocide survivors $2 fast 650 7 $a Armenian Genocide survivors $2 fast 650 7 $a Collective memory $2 fast 650 7 $a Human body $x Symbolic aspects $2 fast 650 7 $a Psychological aspects $2 fast 651 7 $a Armenia $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Semerdjian, Elyse. $t Remnants. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2023 $z 9781503636132 $w (DLC) 2022048340 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240529010256.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CDD1F3101D8011EFA6667B3325ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
