The Armenian Family Redefined: Intergenerational Transmission in the Diaspora

Panel: 
Reconceptualization of National Identity in Diasporic Literature
Abstract: 

This paper examines two plays which treat the devastating effects on families of the Armenian Genocide and diasporic scattering. Both works affirm the transmission of Armenian collective memory, but the family emerges shaken and redefined by the localized circumstances in which the protagonists find themselves.
