In this paper, we discuss what role gender plays in remembering, transmitting, and reframing memories of the Armenian Genocide in order to address the question of how young Armenian women negotiate their roles in this process. Centering the societal roles of memory transmission, we employ the specific sociological lens of gender to analyze 26 interviews conducted in Beirut during the week of the official commemorations of the Armenian Genocide in 2016. We define gender as the social construction of a stylized repetition of acts that reflect power relations. Accordingly, the examination of these power relations is necessary not only to understand the experiences and testimonies of men and women, but also the transmission of memory. While understanding Armenian youth as agents of the collective memory, gender allows us to discuss different patterns of remembrance and transmission. We therefore argue that gender influences how individuals remember the Armenian Genocide, as it underpins the (historically) assigned roles of memory and transmission.

在本文中，我们讨论了性别在记忆，传播和重新定义亚美尼亚种族灭绝的记忆中所起的作用，以解决亚美尼亚年轻女性如何在此过程中扮演自己的角色的问题。围绕记忆传递的社会角色，我们使用性别的特定社会学视角来分析在2016年亚美尼亚大屠杀正式纪念周期间在贝鲁特进行的26次访谈。我们将性别定义为程式化重复行为的社会建构反映权力关系。因此，对这些权力关系的考察不仅对于理解男人和女人的经验和证言，而且对记忆的传递是必要的。在将亚美尼亚青年理解为集体记忆的推动者的同时，性别使我们可以讨论不同的记忆和传播方式。因此，我们认为性别影响个人记忆亚美尼亚种族灭绝的方式，因为它支撑了（历史上）分配的记忆和传播角色。
