| Abstract
|
:
|
<i>AšuI/aşik/aşiq</i> (from the Arabic <i> 'āshiq,</i> or lover) is a skilled bard's composite performing art-- a unity of prose narrations, songs, instrumental accompaniment, and appropriate gesture. Of sixteenth-century Turkic origin, the art spread over a vast area covering modern Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, and further. In the mid-eighteenth century Sayat`-Nova, the best-known Armenian ašuI, was active in Tiflis (modern Tbilisi), the capital of Eastern Georgia. His songs were written in at least three languages--Armenian, Georgian and Azerbaijani--and won praise for their ardent emotion and artistic perfection. But despite his importance in Near Eastern culture, two issues in Sayat'-Nova studies have rarely been studied. First, fully appreciating Sayat'-Nova requires contextualizing his work within the developing Armenian ašuI tradition and the international ašuI/aşik/aşiq tradition in the Near East. Second, the history of Sayat'-Nova studies as a field and its growing popularity in relation to twentieth-century Armenian nationalism and Soviet cultural policies demands attention as well.
