If we think of the book about Musa Dagh, we come to the topics of medium and memory. Anything can become a medium, but this does not make it arbitrary in terms of its content. The countless possibilities of the interrelated existence of signs find their limit(s) in the need for action that interrupts the process. Constellations (Walter Benjamin) form a series from an Armenian internal perspective that promises the eternal return of the same.
Where everything has the same effect, the question of the origin of the single event becomes interesting. However, the origin is not to be sought in an absolute beginning. Rather, the event has its own origin, which can be found in (individual) thinking and its (collective) preconditions.
The question of the origin of an event can be discussed using the example of Artsakh by asking what echo (Walter Benjamin) the loss of Artsakh has in Armenian government policy. To this end, a number of commemorative rituals and events are described against the background of and as signs of a transformation. The change in the current politics of remembrance will be questioned using a systems theory approach with regard to possible destabilization of the social system.
