Title
- Christopher Sheklian on Armenian Temporal Texts
Summary
- In this talk, Christopher Sheklian explores "Calendars and Communities: Armenian Temporal Texts in the Library of Congress Collection." Sheklian is assistant professor of philosophy and religion at Mississippi State University. He is currently working on a monograph entitled "Liturgical Rights: Armenian Minority Presence in Turkey." Calendars, in their ability to set collective celebrations, highlight a group's priorities, and organize the very fabric of time, are crucial tools for community formation and boundary maintenance.
