Making borders from below
This article proposes to re-examine the Turkish–Iraqi Frontier dispute by observing the strategies and attitudes of local populations, in particular in the border areas, between 1918 and 1925, a time when the region became a battleground of British and Turkish agents seeking to secure the loyalties of the local community leaders. The latter played a relevant role in two fundamental and complementary ways. First, by playing different sides, local …
The Fragments Imagine the Nation? Minorities in the Modern Middle East and North Africa
Minorities in the Middle East have been a perennial object of scholarly attention. Minority politics have traditionally been considered as a problem: indeed, as one of the main reasons for the “unsuccessful” consolidation of the nation-state in the region. In recent years, with the events of the Arab Spring and its aftermath, minorities have been figured at times as an obstacle to broader processes of democratization and liberalization, or at oth…
The Kurdish Cultural Movement in Mandatory Syria and Lebanon
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries diverse, and sometimes competing, movements of cultural renaissance emerged in the Middle East. Within this context, the Kurdish cultural renaissance in the Kurmanji dialect appeared relatively late and moreover its fruits were curtailed by two major events: the First World War and the establishment of the Turkish republic. From 1923 onwards, the task of animating the Kurdish cultural renaissan…
The Limits of the State
Student youth have been at the centre of social and political unrest in the Middle East since the era of reforms under the Ottoman Empire. However, although nationalist and revolutionary leaders encouraged students to actively participate in politics ‘for the sake of the nation’ during the first half of the twentieth century, revolutionary regimes progressively sought to ‘depoliticise’ them, once again ‘for the sake of the nation’, throughout the…
Where are all the students? Demobilisation and re-engagement in higher education in Turkey and beyond
The uprisings that erupted unexpectedly in the Middle East between 2010 and 2011 propelled the region’s youth to the forefront of the political and media spheres. According to some scholars, we are witnessing a re-politicisation of Middle Eastern youth, a marked contrast to their ‘depoliticisation’ and ‘apathy’ as a group in recent years. Yet, although the youth (incidentally, the majority of the population in the region) have unquestionably part…
Où sont les étudiants du supérieur ? Démobilisation et réengagement du milieu universitaire en Turquie et au-delà
The uprisings that erupted unexpectedly in the Middle East between 2010 and 2011 propelled this region’s youth to the forefront of the political and media scene. To some scholars, we are witnessing a re-politicisation of the Middle Eastern youth, which stands in marked contrast to their "depoliticisation" and "apathy" of recent years. Yet, although the participation of the youth "by the way the ’majority’ of the population in the region" to popul…
Un territoire de marge en haute Djézireh syrienne (1921-1940)
Au sortir de la Première Guerre mondiale, les nouveaux États fondés sur les décombres de l'Empire ottoman adoptent, dans leurs zones rurales respectives, des politiques similaires afin de stabiliser leurs frontières et leurs populations. Si divers groupements ethniques et/ou religieux du Moyen-Orient sont touchés par ces changements, les plus touchés sont les Kurdes, majoritairement ruraux et principalement répartis depuis 1925 sur quatre États :…
Repenser les nationalismes « minoritaires »
Cet article suggère que les régions périphériques habitées par des « minoritaires » furent témoins durant l’entre-deux-guerres d’évolutions sociales et politiques similaires au reste des territoires syriens et irakiens placés sous Mandat britannique et français : l’extension du nationalisme comme lingua franca des élites, mais aussi des populations, ainsi que l’émergence de nouveaux acteurs politiques défiant le pouvoir des notables traditionnels…
Les territoires de marge de la Syrie mandataire
Durant les premières années du Mandat français au Levant, la Haute Jazîra reste un territoire de marge, soumise aux convoitises des pays voisins et aux projets politico-militaires et socio-économiques de la France. En 1936, les clauses du traité franco-syrien et les résultats des élections qui assurent une large victoire au Bloc national changent la donne. Si les militaires français portent une lourde responsabilité dans la naissance du mouvement…
The Shared Political Production of 'the East' as a 'Resistant' Territory and Cultural Sphere in the Kemalist Era, 1923-1938
While traditional accounts of Atatürk’s Turkey approach the state as a powerful and centralized apparatus, this article suggests, on the contrary, that Turkey was still a state in the making and lacked a consistent policy in the face of the multiple social and political challenges that emerged in the 1920 and 1930s. Concretely, the article suggests that the Turkish regime’s response to contestation was to put in place extremely violent policies c…
Urban Mobilization in Iraqi Kurdistan during the British Mandate
Great Britain created ‘Southern Kurdistan’, an autonomous Kurdish entity with Sulaimaniya as its capital, under British political supervision in November 1918. Sulaimaniya became a political and social testing ground in the hands of British officers who participated in the process of building local identities by defining the arena in which the elites entered into competition, by defining the categories into which the political blocs were arranged…
Les Kurdes de Syrie, de la “dissimulation” à la “visibilité”
Depuis la création de l’État syrien, divers segments de la société kurde ont été intégrés au système politique et/ou communautaire. Toutefois, si durant la première moitié du xxe siècle, cette intégration ne présentait pas de problèmes majeurs, l’identité kurde n’étant pas menacée, elle s’est avérée plus complexe avec l’arrivée au pouvoir du parti Ba‘th. Alors que des élites civiles et religieuses ont été cooptées par le régime, la plupart des Ku…
Les constructions de l'identité kurde sous l'influence de la ' connexion kurdo-française ' au Levant (1930-1946)
Starting with the study of Orientalism in the interwar period, this paper focuses on when, why and how the Kurdish elite was engaged in constructing a viable concept of Kurdish identity. Because of the developments in the Middle East, this task of construction of an ‘imagined community’ – addressing the kurmanji speakers – took place under the influence of France, which became a mandatory power in Syria. The collaboration between French agents an…
