CHILDREN IN UNIFORMS
number of views: 191  The article Children in Uniforms by Ullrich Klein, Peace Dialogue's intern from Germany, is an attepmpt to open a free discussion on the symbolism of images of little kids in the uniforms of the army. As a historian, the author tries to analyse the social background and vivid trends in the political and social atmosphere producing such pictures, as well as possible outcomes of such tendencies.I am speechless. This is not only because of the breathtaking beauty of the Armenian landscape surrounding Vanadzor but also because of the fact that I don’t speak any Armenian or Russian. In fact, most people I met here have tried very hard to communicate with me. Nevertheless, my experiences of this country are condemned to be mostly visual and nonverbal. more» |

ABOUT “REAL” MEDIA, A MAMMOTH, AND MANLINESS
number of views: 376  At 21:00, the news program “Haylur” (News) was being shown on the First Armenian Channel, as usual. During the past ten months, this was the first time I had managed to watch it because of a lack of time. A video about the wedding of an officer was being shown. The core of the program was the fact that the officer was wearing his military uniform instead of the traditional Armenian suit. Oh, how patriotic it is! A real man should be like this. more» |
