From the late Soviet Cascade to the post-Soviet megaproject Northern Avenue, his legacy has continued to serve as a point of reference.\r\n Roaming through scattered experimental buildings, blueprints hidden in private archives, and surrealist fiction suppressed by Soviet censors, the talk seeks to reconstruct from the debris of history an alternative pathway to imagining the Soviet city. Contesting Tamanyan's Eurocentric vision of the city, the talk recounts the story of those who were torn between anticipation for a communist future and a longing for the city's Persian heritage \u2013 which was being razed before their eyes.\r\n \r\n Bio: Dr. David Leupold is a research fellow at Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient Berlin and principal investigator of the research project \u201cRelicts of the Future? Life and Afterlife of the Socialist City in Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus\u201d funded by the German Research Association (DFG). Leupold was a 2018-2019 Manoogian Postdoctoral Fellow in the University of Michigan Department of Sociology and holds a doctoral degree from the Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin.\r\n \r\n His research interests comprise contested geographies and the collective imaginations of past, present and future in the post-Ottoman and post-Soviet space. His first monograph Embattled Dreamlands: At the Nexus of Armenian, Kurdish and Turkish Memory Politics (New York: Routledge, 2020) was awarded the 2021 annual book prize of the Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS).\r\n \r\n Suggested Pre-Read:\r\n \u2018Building the Internationalist City from Below\u2019: The Role of the Czechoslovak Industrial Cooperative \u201cInterhelpo\u201d in Forging Urbanity in early-Soviet Bishkek published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 November 2020. https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/international-labor-and-working-class-history\/article\/abs\/building-the-internationalist-city-from-below-the-role-of-the-czechoslovak-industrial-cooperative-interhelpo-in-forging-urbanity-in-earlysoviet-bishkek\/95F8127EF91216614230D5B5B47E9FB5\r\n \r\n Cosponsors:\r\n Multidisciplinary Workshop for Armenian Studies, U-M\r\n UCLA PromiseArmenian Institute\r\n UC Berkeley Armenian Studies Program\r\n\r\nRegister here: https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/91032993178", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"124872-21853971@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/124872", "building_id":"1000165", "building_name":"Weiser Hall", "campus_maps_id":"47", "room":"555", "location_name":"Weiser Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["armenian","Armenian Studies","Discussion","Lecture"], "website":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/91032993178", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Center for Armenian Studies", "group_id":"3124", "website":"http:\/\/www.ii.umich.edu\/armenian" }, { "group_name":"International Institute", "group_id":"1968", "website":"http:\/\/www.ii.umich.edu" }, { "group_name":"Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies", "group_id":"3097", "website":"http:\/\/www.ii.umich.edu\/crees" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/08\/event_124872_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21853971 } , "124395-21852989": { "datetime_modified":"20241017T123150", "datetime_start":"20241002T160000", "datetime_end":"20241002T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-10-02", "date_end":"2024-10-02", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"2025 Evergy Internship Virtual Information Session", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"2025 Evergy Internship Virtual Information Session", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Careers \/ Jobs", "event_type_id":"2", "description":"Want to know what it's like to be an intern at Evergy?Join us during our Fall 2024 virtual information sessions to learn about our company and intern program - then hear from a panel of recent interns.
