{"product_id":"16693-hrach-bayadyan","title":"Hrach Bayadyan","description":"Hrach Bayadyan, one of Armenia's leading cultural critics, re-conceptualizes \"the post-Soviet\" in his notebook. Drawing on the sociologist Manuel Castells, he warns that this term alone means nothing more than \"ex-\" and having a distance from the Soviet past. Against the specific background of Armenia's history and its centuries-long colonization, Bayadyan approaches the particular Armenian situation and views it in the light of postcolonial theories. The lack of dialogue with the past has so far obscured the East Armenian-West Armenian and Soviet Armenian-Diaspora Armenian differences. \"Becoming post-Soviet\" therefore represents the project of beginning to write and speak \"from within\" this entanglement. \u003cbr\u003eThe cultural critic Hrach Bayadyan (b. 1957) lives and works in Yerevan; he teaches media and cultural studies at Yerevan State University.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-2908-6)","offer_id":44503951245576,"sku":"9783775729086","price":6.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-4929-9)","offer_id":44573662707976,"sku":"9783775749299","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-3088-4)","offer_id":44573662740744,"sku":"9783775730884","price":3.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775729086_d8e7432c-0344-40c8-a982-d1e25240d16a.jpg?v=1744099010","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16693-hrach-bayadyan","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
