Tracing the Values of Fading Rural Architectural Heritage
This research explores the underappreciated traditional cold-water baths of Western Anatolia, once integral to the region’s agrarian culture. Due to waves of change, which had markedly begun by the pandemic in 2019 and the aftermath of the 2020 Samos earthquake, there has been a growing interest in living in peri-urban areas, resulting in the invasion of agricultural grounds by new construction, mainly including detached houses with gardens. Such…
Unwanted Others of the City
This article examines a case of urban displacement and its impact on the local Roma community by uncovering the discursive strategies of the local governments and the tactical responses of the local people. Based on two-year-long ethnographic research, this study aims to understand the intricate dynamics of the counter-cultural production of the Roma people as a response to gentrification policies of local governments. The rapid rise of the rent …
İzmir’in Bilinmeyen Bir Dağ Köyü
This study examines the history, language, social, and economic transformation of the Yuruks living in the Yamanlar Village located in the Karşıyaka district, where there is relatively little information in the literature despite its proximity to the Izmir city center. Information collected from the Ottoman Era cemetery adjoining the village reveals that the Yamanlar Yuruks have lived here for at least 400 years. Mount Yamanlar, where the village…
Salgın Sürecinde Romanların Gündelik Hayatındaki Dönüşümün Medyadaki Görünümü
Bu çalışma, koronavirüs pandemisinin Roman toplulukların gündelik hayatlarında meydana getirdiği dönüşümü, Romanların yaşam alanları, ekonomik etkinliklerini sürdürdüğü kamusal alanlar ve yerel yönetimler ile ilişkileri çerçevesinde haber metinleri üzerinden incelemektedir. Yerel ve merkezi yönetim kademelerinde yer alan aktörlerin kent mekânına yönelik politikalarını gerekçelendirme aracı olarak kültür-merkezci söylem setini medya üzerinden dola…
Roman Kimliğinin Çatışmalı İnşası
Roman kimliği ve temsiline yönelik yaklaşımlar, hem akademik mecrada hem de Romanlar arasında oldukça tartışmalıdır. Etnik bağlamı öne çıkan Roman kültürel kimliği, Romanlar ile Öteki (Gaco, Roman olmayanlar) arasında meydana gelen sınır ilişkileri aracılığıyla tesis edilmektedir. Bu inşa, heterojen bir kültürel kimlik meydana getirmek bir yana, oldukça çatışmalı bir sürece işaret etmektedir. Kültürel kimliğin kuruluşunda önemli bir etkisi olan g…
Roma people of Turkey re-write their cinematographic images
The historical construction of the Roma image in Turkey, via both official and unofficial narratives, has constituted a derogatory repertoire. Their portrayal in the mainstream Turkish cinema and TV in particular has contributed to the predominant imaginary in circulation which essentially is based on common binaries and stereotypes. In order to challenge prevailing stereotypes about the Roma, we have conducted a transformative action research pr…
The Roma image in the mainstream Turkish audiovisual media
This article seeks to address one of the most problematic lacunae in Turkey’s political and academic landscape by examining the mediated images of the Roma people in Turkey. This long-neglected sub-cultural group in the Turkish context is mostly regarded as the “others” of society, who cannot speak for themselves. Their public imagination is, therefore, based heavily on narratives that are exclusively produced by non-Roma people. In order to reve…
