Project<\/h2>\n\n\n

PhD candidate<\/strong>: Hasmik Vardanyan
Supervisor<\/strong>: Paolo Pellegrini
Title<\/strong>: The \u201cArmenian Dante-esque\u201d: Dante in the Armenian Poetry of the 20th Century
PhD Programme<\/strong>: Philology, Literature and Performance Studies<\/p>\n\n\n

The research project aims to study the influence and the\nreception of Dante in the works of the modern Armenian poets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Armenian literature of the first decades of 20th century\nis characterized by national-revolutionary movements and the global political\ncataclysmic events, as well as by the influences of the Western literary and\nartistic movements. In this context the \u201cInferno\u201d of Dante was read and\ninterpreted by the Armenian poets as a reflection of the reality the Armenian\npeople were forced to live in: wars, massacres, sufferings and death. The\ndescription of the \u201cearthly hell\u201d with allusion to the \u201cInferno\u201d can be found\nin the works of Charents, Siamanto, Varujan and other poets who themselves\nbecame victims of those tragic events and also in the works of later poets,\nlike Hovhannes Shiraz (1915-1984). In his masterpiece, the \u201cArmenian\nDante-esque\u201d, the poet tells the horrors of the Armenian genocide, challenging\nDante\u2019s descriptions of hell.\n\nThe research will mainly focus on the works of\nYegishe Charents (1897, Kars, Russian Empire\u2013 1937, Yerevan, Soviet Armenia),\nwhose poems are the expression of the complexity and the tension of his time.\nBesides, Charents\u2019 poetry is particularly inspired by Dante. Introducing\nCharents\u2019 works the study will also include the works of other Armenian poets\nwhere similar influences and perception of Dante can be tracked, thus revealing\nthe dantesque marks on the modern Armenian literature.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
