Geo-Political Realities and Vernacular Theologies in Post-Revolutionary and Post-War Armenia
This article examines the social and cultural dimensions of political competition between the Armenian Apostolic Church – widely understood as the national church of the Armenian people – and the post-revolutionary political leadership of the Armenian state. In particular, it explores the socio-cultural context that enabled the Armenian Church’s direct intervention into political processes and the rhetorical strategies grounded in national and cu…
Political Regimes and Religious Co-existence: When is the Covenant Possible? The Case of Armenia
Is a theory of covenantal pluralism applicable to the Armenian case? In order to answer these and other questions, the author makes a comparative analysis of three successive periods, the imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet, in terms of conditions, social and political contexts, and cultural specificities of religious coexistence. As a result, she identifies three approaches, classical imperial, Soviet nation-based, and post-Soviet pluralist, which…
Armenia after 2018
This book focuses on social and political developments in Armenia during a turbulent post-2018 period. Between 2018 and 2020, the country experienced three significant waves of upheaval: a revolution, a pandemic, and a war. These events had far-reaching implications for Armenia's social, cultural, security, and political foundations. The book provides both factual insights and theoretical underpinnings that help readers understand the country's t…
Forum: The Material Turn and the Anthropology of Religion
Material religion" as a research program is a relatively new development in the study of religion in the social sciences and humanities. Though this approach has its own forerunners and predecessors, one can argue that it took shape in the wake of an epistemological critique of social and cultural anthropology which treated religion as embedded in the cognitive and psychological experiences of a human being. Accordingly, the material manifestatio…
“How Can It Be: We Had it In the Seventh Century, and Now Not?” An Invented Tradition of Icon-Painting in Post-Secular Armenia
Worship of Shrines in Armenia: Between Soviet and Post-Soviet Modernities
In this article, the author tries to trace the trajectories of Soviet and post-Soviet transformations of vernacular religiosity in Armenia, in particular, the cult of shrines. She argues that the cult of shrines and related manifestations of vernacular religion were consistently reconceptualized, first, in the period of Soviet secularization and modernization, and, secondly, in the period of post-Soviet and post-secular transformations of the Arm…
Markets at sacred sites: The globalized mobility and informality of the Armenian religious fairs
Along with other globalizing forces such as migration and proselytism, religious markets have played a key role in the transformation of religious practices in Armenia. This article focuses on the intersection of mobility and markets through mobile fairs, which are temporarily organized at shrines on pilgrimage days. Market vendors tend to travel from shrine to shrine across Armenia throughout the year, each following his or her own trajectory. I…
