This study aims to investigate the Armenian diaspora in Lebanon through an analy sis of its various conceptions of home and homeland and the relationships it has to these conceptions. It makes productive use of the many new and innovative s cholarly works on diasporas by applying them to the case of Armenians in Lebanon . This community has long been considered the "capital?" of the Armenian diaspo ra, yet there are few contemporary studies which address the dynamic changes tha t have taken place since the Lebanese civil war and Armenian independence. By a nalyzing the personal narratives of several individuals from the Lebanese Armeni an community I have showed that maintaining attachments to homeland and integrat ing into the hostland are related processes which are in a constant state of neg otiation and construction. I examined also the definitions of three interrelated and overlapping notions: diaspora, homeland, and nation, showing how the meanings for each have shifted o ver time. I then turned to a description of the history and structure of the Ar menian diaspora in Lebanon it relates to these three notions. Lastly, I shifted to an analysis of statements made by ten informants, which constituted the bulk of my study. Five interrelated dimensions of the Armenian diaspora's relationships to home a nd homeland were elucidated. The first details three overlapping visions of hom eland that are evoked in the Armenian diaspora, illustrating how the Republic of Armenia has become dominant in recent years. The second analyzes the statement s of Armenians who conceptualize home in terms of lived experiences in Lebanon r ather than attachments to a real or imagined homeland. The third assesses the s ignificance of the recent decision to extend dual citizenship to Armenians livin g abroad. The forth examines roots-tourism and return migration as two tangible ways in which Armenians interact with the homeland. And the fifth speaks to th e impact that the Armenian genocide and the categorization of Armenians as a vic tim diaspora has on conceptions of homeland, as well relations with the modern s tate of Turkey and its citizens.
