Response to Serafim Seppälä

Abstract

A response to Serafim Seppälä’s article ‘The “Temple of Non-Being” at Tsitsernakaberd and remembrance of the Armenian genocide: an interpretation’. Key themes discussed include increasing efforts to convey divergent positions in a conflict when contemporary memorial sites are planned, as well as recent contributions within the academic field of memory studies, placing emphasis on local narrative and agency rather than institutional religious and national frameworks.
