Abstract

This exchange between Galina Tirnanić, a Byzantine art historian, and Nicolas Trépanier, a social historian of medieval Anatolia, seeks to continue the conversation on the premodern world started by Sergei Parajanov’s Color of Pomegranates (1969). Here, we hope to re-imagine the film as a potential point of initiation for new approaches to reading, imagining, teaching, and writing about the medieval world, both within and beyond Armenian contexts.
