Abstract

The existence of the diaspora depends on the perspectives of its historification. Historification implies choosing the axis of collectivity and proposing narratives from that point of view, within which it will be possible to realize one's own way of existence and create foundations for ensuring continuity. The historification of the diaspora and similar realities can be thought of in two main ways: disciplinization and purely literary experience. The disciplinization of reflections on the diaspora began much later than the emergence of the diaspora itself, and it mainly refers to the Jewish case. The Armenian Diaspora, especially the first generation of the French-Armenian community, presented itself through the prism of literary experience. The study of these two paths is very important to understand the modern diaspora and to determine its relationship with the homeland.
