This history is illustrated with the case of the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. The book offers an account of the successive stages (archeological, self-ethnographic, and aesthetical) of the implementation of orientalist philology, through which the nation came to existence. It is also part of a general reflection on the nature of the Catastrophe and the way it destroys the possibility of mourning Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 387-400) and index Notes Translated from French Print version record Subject Varuzhan, Daniēl, 1884-1915 -- Criticism and interpretation SUBJECT Varuzhan, Daniēl, 1884-1915 fast Subject Armenian literature -- 20th century -- History and criticism Art and literature -- Armenia Religion and literature -- Armenia LITERARY CRITICISM -- European -- English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh.
