Haykanush Mark’s Biography in the Context of Publicistic Discourse

Abstract

The aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the biography, literary, journalistic, and editorial activities of Haykanush Mark, with a particular focus on the ideological, cultural, and social significance of the Hay Kin (Armenian Woman) journal. The objective of the research is to examine, through Mark’s activity, the mechanisms of the development of the Western Armenian press, the formation of women’s self-awareness, and the transmission of national-cultural heritage. The scientific novelty of the study lies in interpreting Mark’s work not only as an editorial practice in women’s publicism, but also as a system of intercultural and ideological communication that unites Western Armenian, Eastern Armenian, and diaspora Armenian spheres. The relevance of the research is conditioned by contemporary scholarly demands concerning gender equality, media history, and cultural memory studies.
