WiP: “The miracle of St George, the princess and the dragon — The earliest texts and images”

Although the narrative of St George rescuing a princess from a dragon is one of the most popular legends from medieval Christian hagiography, the earliest stages of its creation and diffusion remain obscure. By the end of the 12th century, the princess-and-dragon miracle (henceforth, PDM) appeared in Greek and Latin manuscripts, and was depicted in frescoes throughout Georgia and northern Russia, and an icon at the St Catherine Monastery in Sinai. While the Crusades doubtlessly contributed to the spread of the PDM, and more generally, of the cult of George as patron of Christian warriors, the origin of the PDM predates the arrival of the first crusaders in the Holy Lands. Its earliest known appearance is in the codex Jer Geo 2, probably written at the Georgian monastery of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem in the late 11th-c.

WiP: “’Backward and Deficient’: Exploring Historical Imaginations of Svaneti”

Russian imperial expansion southwards to the Caucasus was a bloody and lengthy process that was conditioned by, on the one hand, inaccessible mountainous terrain and, on the other, the ‘savage’ nature of the local highlanders. Military campaigns were corroborated by discourses that would help re-create the identities of Caucasian denizens according to imperial visions. Svaneti, a remote mountainous region of Georgia, became a subject of Russian orientalism that aimed to legitimize the imperial presence by producing and emphasizing differences along biological lines between the Svans and the empire.
