Abstract

ABSTRACT On September 27, 2020, the three-decades-long Nagorno-Karabakh conflict erupted into war. During 44 days of organized violence that claimed thousands of lives, the political leadership of Armenia and Azerbaijan along with public intellectuals, journalists, artists and ordinary citizens, continually and publicly expressed pro-war sentiments and confidence in their victory. This article examines the strategies of Azerbaijani and Armenian political and intellectual elites and the formation of myths and conflict narratives that steadily led the two societies towards the Second Karabakh War. It further examines the post-war discursive developments that are working to set Armenia and Azerbaijan on the path to a new round of destructive confrontation.

通往第二次卡拉巴赫战争的道路：以种族为中心的叙事在纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫冲突中的作用

2020年9月27日，长达30年的纳戈尔诺-卡拉巴赫冲突爆发战争。在44天有组织的暴力事件中，数千人丧生，亚美尼亚和阿塞拜疆的政治领导人以及公共知识分子、记者、艺术家和普通公民不断公开表达支持战争的情绪和对胜利的信心。本文考察了阿塞拜疆和亚美尼亚政治和知识精英的策略，以及导致两个社会走向第二次卡拉巴赫战争的神话和冲突叙事的形成。它进一步审查了战后话语的发展，这些发展正在使亚美尼亚和阿塞拜疆走上新一轮破坏性对抗的道路。

期刊介绍： Caucasus Survey is a new peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and independent journal, concerned with the study of the Caucasus – the independent republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, de facto entities in the area and the North Caucasian republics and regions of the Russian Federation. Also covered are issues relating to the Republic of Kalmykia, Crimea, the Cossacks, Nogays, and Caucasian diasporas. Caucasus Survey aims to advance an area studies tradition in the humanities and social sciences about and from the Caucasus, connecting this tradition with core disciplinary concerns in the fields of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, cultural and religious studies, economics, political geography and demography, security, war and peace studies, and social psychology. Research enhancing understanding of the region’s conflicts and relations between the Russian Federation and the Caucasus, internationally and domestically with regard to the North Caucasus, features high in our concerns.
