Re-Imagining Yerevan in the Post-Soviet Era: Urban Symbolism and Narratives of the Nation in the Landscape of Armenia's Capital

Ter-Ghazaryan, Diana K. 02 June 2010 (has links)
The urban landscape of Yerevan has experienced tremendous changes since the collapse of the Soviet Union and Armenia’s independence in 1991. Domestic and foreign investments have poured into Yerevan’s building sector, converting many downtown neighborhoods into sleek modern districts that now cater to foreign investors, tourists, and the newly rich Armenian nationals. Large portions of the city’s green parks and other public spaces have been commercialized for private and exclusive use, creating zones that are accessible only to the affluent. In this dissertation I explore the rapidly transforming landscape of Yerevan and its connections to the development of contemporary Armenian national identity. This research was guided by principles of ethnographic inquiry, and I employed diverse methods, including document and archival research, structured and semi-structured interviews and content analysis of news media. I also used geographic information systems (GIS) and satellite images to represent and visualize the stark transformations of spaces in Yerevan. Informed by and contributing to three literatures—on the relationship between landscape and identity formation, on the construction of national identity, and on Soviet and post-Soviet cities—this dissertation investigates how messages about contemporary Armenian national identity are being expressed via the transforming landscape of Armenia’s national capital. In it I describe the ways in which abrupt transformations have resulted in the physical and symbolic eviction of residents, introducing fierce public debates about belonging and exclusion within the changing urban context. I demonstrate that the new additions to Yerevan’s landscape and the symbolic messages that they carry are hotly contested by many long-time residents, who struggle for inclusion of their opinions and interests in the process of re-imagining their national capital. This dissertation illustrates many of the trends that are apparent in post-Soviet and post-Socialist space, while at the same time exposing some unique characteristics of the Armenian case.

Espace en transition : Erevan 1991-2006 / A Space in Transition : Yerevan 1991-2006

Khachatryan, Mariam 13 October 2011 (has links)
Cette thèse propose une réflexion sur le rapport ville/processus d'urbanisme dans la période post-soviétique. Elle se focalise sur l'évolution des formes urbaines et urbanistiques à partir de l'articulation ville/pratiques juridiques/pratiques sociales. Erevan – capitale de l'Arménie est notre terrain d'investigations. Les analyses sont d'abord centrées sur l'état actuel des interfaces ville/politiques/pratiques urbaines : la situation socio-économique, les caractères spatiaux et les différentes logiques d'organisation de l'espace urbain. Les analyses portent ensuite sur l'évolution historique de ces mêmes interfaces ; sont examinés les projets et les modèles spatiaux appliqués, ou encore les Nouveaux Plans de la ville. La thèse se propose ainsi de comprendre le dialogue entre la ville, ses habitants et son héritage, en démontrant que ces derniers peuvent être un élément stimulant le développement urbain à toutes les échelles, un développement urbain identitaire et durable / This thesis proposes a reflection on the relationship between the city and urban planning processes in the post-Soviet period. It focuses on the evolution of urban forms and urban planning by considering the articulation of the city, legal rules and social practices. Yerevan, Armenia's capital, is our field of investigation. Our studies first focus on the current situation of interfaces between the city, policies and urban practices taking into account socioeconomic situations, spatial characteristics and logics of the organization of urban space. Then, the analyses deal with the historical evolution of these interfaces : projects, spatial models or new town planning schemes are examined. Thus, this thesis aims to understand the links between city, its inhabitants and its heritage, demonstrating that these last can be stimulating elements at all scales for attaining a sustainable and identitary urban development

HIMA ! Revolutionary Park in Yerevan, Armenia / HIMA ! Revolutionerande Park i Jerevan, Armenien

Shahinyan, Hayk January 2016 (has links)
HIMA! / NOW! - translation from Armenian In light of recent and ongoing protests, demonstrations and riots in Ukraine, Egypt, Israel or Armenia, some actual questions arise such as how is the built environment used as an area of protest, how it is chosen as a focal point or path for resistance, what are the common characteristics of revolutionary spaces and how the environment effects on success. Lack of democracy from the government and in everyday life of Armenia society, total corruption and feeling of impunity oligarchy, the government and most of governmental institutions, weak economic growth accompanied by alarming number of emigration as well as successful scenarios in neighboring Georgia and Ukraine, force to predict a inescapable eruption of protests Armenia in near future. History shows that protests and civil disobedience are inevitable and necessary expressions of dissent in any democratic nation and country. However there are different passive tools to improve democratic institutions in the society and country in general such as public forums, open discussions and debates, freedom of speech and media etc. With this project I want to create a great Park with generous program embracing main democratic principles as a Public Space and Forum for everyone in capital of Armenia, Yerevan, BUT in case of nascent civil resistance the Park will become a space as a tool with urban inventory that people can use, manipulate, claim in order to defend their values and save own life's. This will be a Playground/Fortress for Democracy !
