- W133501217 abstract "The city of Gyumri experienced a devastating earthquake on December 7, 1988. This article analyzes how perceptions of Gyumri’s urban space changed in the aftermath of that experience. The paper draws on a range of sources to address historical, mythologized, and existential levels of perception of that space, the latter based primarily on the international avant-garde art biennales that have taken place in Gyumri since 1998. The article also discusses the transformation of Gyumri residents’ identity through an analysis of public discourse about images of the city before and after the earthquake. The earthquake principally destroyed structures built during the Soviet period, when the city was called Leninakan. This facilitated a division of the city’s history into three stages which correspond to its successive names. It is now perceived in the manner of Russian dolls composed of all its historic names: Kumairi–Gyumri– Aleksandropol–Leninakan–Kumairi–Gyumri. Until the earthquake, the inhabitants of Gyumri perceived the city’s early history in terms of stages of a constant ascent. This evolution supposedly peaked in the Soviet city of Leninakan, which was not only heir to the best traditions of urban construction, but moved on to a different and superior style of development. The earthquake, which was soon followed by Armenia’s independence, disturbed this image of linear evolution. Post-Soviet identity is predicated upon the idea of return, of turning off the Soviet cul-de-sac and back to the previous crossroads of history, the moment where a “wrong turn” was taken. The article examines this discourse of a “turning point,” which, to use Jan Assmann’s terminology, was sometimes based on communicative memory and sometimes on cultural memory. Exponents of cultural memory (especially historians) advocated restoring the city’s oldest name, which may be traced back to the Cimmerians or Hurrians, depending on the sources. Older carriers of living, communicative memory viewed the city’s history as part of their own biographies or those of their parents, and insisted that it be renamed Gyumri. Today, many former residents of Leninakan advocate the restoration of the Soviet name as a symbol of a well-planned city. Descendants of the intelligentsia of Aleksandropol (Gyumri’s name in the second half of the 19 th and early 20 th century)" @default.
