It concentrates on some specific events, including pre- and wartime life in the Nagorno Karabakh political capital Stepanakert and compelling historical and cultural heritage issues in the cultural capital Shushi and its meaning for the Armenian population worldwide. Attention is placed both on wartime social and urban changes and to the destruction, or attempted destruction, of Armenians cultural heritage during the conflict and in post-war Azerbaijani occupation. The first part of the book reconstructs the historic and religious context of Nagorno Karabakh, linking it with the regional geo-political dimension; meanwhile, the case studies analysed in the second part of the book will help understand spatial meanings (e.g., towns, cultural centres, monasteries) and the symbolic value of urban heritage while also discussing some conflict markers in the context of theories of transnationalism and diaspora studies. Marcello Mollica is Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology at the University of Messina, Italy. Arsen Hakobyan is Leading Research Fellow at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography at the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Urban Anthropology,$x2946-2444 606 $aEthnology 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aPeace 606 $aEthnography 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aUrban Sociology 606 $aPeace and Conflict Studies 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aPeace. 615 14$aEthnography. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 615 24$aPeace and Conflict Studies. 676 $a947.54086 700 $aHakobyan$b Arsen$01853002 701 $aMollica$b Marcello$01025770 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911034957803321 996 $aConflict, Space and Transnationalism$94449006 997 $aUNINA
