    PanARMENIAN.Net - On Thursday, November 3, Dr. Donna-Lee Frieze
    of Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia, will present a talk
    entitled, "Silence, Memory, and Sacred Drama: 'Ravished Armenia' in
    the Memorialization of the Armenian Genocide" at Columbia University.

    A screening of the short surviving fragment of the film "Ravished
    Armenia" will be shown in conjunction with the talk, The Armenian
    Weekly reported.

    Frieze has taught a graduate unit on genocide studies for 10 years
    at Deakin University. In 2009, she was joint consulting scholar for
    a conference on Raphael Lemkin and sole consulting scholar for a
    six-month exhibition on Lemkin, both at the Center for Jewish History
    in New York. She is part of a research team publishing a history of
    the Jewish Holocaust Centre in Melbourne and is the editor of Raphael
    Lemkin's autobiography (Yale University Press, forthcoming).

    The talk begins at 7:35 p.m. in Room 501 in Schermerhorn Hall at
    Columbia University. It is presented by the Department of Middle
    Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies (MESAAS) at Columbia, in
    association with the Armenian Center at Columbia and the National
    Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR), in conjunction
    with an ongoing Columbia graduate seminar, "Memories of the Armenian
    Genocide: An Exploration through Memoir, Literature, and the Arts,"
    taught by Armen T. Marsoobian, the Nikit and Eleanora Ordjanian
    Visiting Professor of Armenian Literature at Columbia, and professor
    and chair of philosophy at Southern Connecticut State University in
    New Haven.
