National Education Meets Critical Pedagogy
In this article, I reflect on teaching oral history in a society with a centralized education system that inculcates a hegemonic national(ist) history. I suggest that the commitment to academic freedom and liberal arts education at Sabanci University, a private university in Turkey, encourages the teaching of interdisciplinary and research-oriented courses that critical pedagogy inspires. I show that while oral history is relatively new and weakl…

This paper investigates the political subjectivities of Kurdish youth in Diyarbakır through the interplay of kinship and politics. We argue that it is through a framework of kinship that young people make sense of the Kurdish issue. We show that the war between the Kurdistan Workers' Party ( Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan , PKK) and the Turkish military has reshaped the Kurdish family, leading to a crisis in the life cycle. We suggest that the young …

Strong as Steel, Fragile as a Rose
The article presents a Jewish social study by Leyla Neyzi entitled Strong as Steel, Fragile as a Rose: A Turkish Jewish Witness to the Twentieth Century. It offers an overview of Jewish experience in the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic and discusses the oral history and military journal of Yasar Paker. It states that the Jewish experience in modern Turkey attracted much less interest than the history of Jews in the Ottoman Empire and one …
Fragmented in Space
This study uses the case of Can Kilçiksiz, an Arab Christian refugee youth from Antioch, Turkey, to argue that globalization may result in fragmented families and subjectivities and can also accelerate processes initiated by modernity and the construction of national identities. Can Kilçiksiz and his siblings now live in Turkey, Germany, France and Finland. His life history suggests that males of Arab Christian origin from Antioch who had access …
Trauma, Narrative and Silence
On connait peu de choses de l'experience d'un soldat ottoman ordinaire. On en connait encore moins concernant l'experience de non-musulmans recrutes dans des bataillons de travailleurs (amele taburlari). Cet article se base sur le journal militaire et le recit de vie d'Haim Albukrek, un 'soldat' juif enrole dans des unites non-musulmanes de l'armee turque pendant la guerre greco-turque de 1921. Ecrit a un moment de guerre et de traumatisme, a un …

Embodied Elders
Using the case of the music group Metin-Kemal Kahraman, this article suggests that studies of hybrid identities and fractured subjectivities highlight the constructedness of presumably original singular identities in Turkey, whether national or counter-national. Addressing the revival of Alevi identity, it argues that a legacy of oral poetry and music acted as a link between the assimilationist generation of the early Republic, the leftist genera…
Remembering to Forget
According to Fatma Arığ, a fifty-one-year-old Turkish woman of Sabbatean heritage, her search for the past began with this shock she recalls experiencing as a child. Her quest was fulfilled by way of history, for lack of memory. Behind her story lies a little-known community, and its three hundred and fifty-year-old relationship with the state and the dominant society in Turkey
Object or Subject? The Paradox of « Youth » in Turkey
Cet article propose une analyse de la construction de la jeunesse dans le discours public en Turquie, depuis l’établissement de la République turque. Pendant la période 19231950, la jeunesse devient le symbole du nouvel Etat turc. Entre 1950 et 1980, par contre, le discours public reconstruit l’image des jeunes, les représentant comme des rebelles. Malgré ce changement dans leur représentation, les jeunes des deux périodes qui ont suivi des étude…
Object or Subject? The Paradox of “Youth” in Turkey
Object or Subject? The Paradox of “Youth” in Turkey
A columnist in a Turkish newspaper recently asked, “Will nothing really be the same again?” 3 referring to the impact of the massive earthquake of 17 August 1999 on the Turkish psyche. The writer Murathan Mungan used a similar metaphor earlier in what seems today like a prophetic statement: “I think Turkey has really come to lean against the wall. There is nowhere to go; either the wall will crumble or it will be dismantled. If it crumbles, we wi…
