Summary/Abstract:Since the beginning of humanity, countless number of people have had to leave their places and homelands due to various reasons such as climate conditions, natural disasters, wars, economic crises, human rights violations, and security. Unfortunately, this international migratory movements still continue. Due to its geographical location, Turkey lies between unstable and poor countries on its eastern borders and stable and wealthy countries on its western borders. For this reason, it is both a transition and a target country for asylum seekers and refugees (tbmm.gov.tr, 2010). Thus, Turkey has become an important actor in terms of global migration in the last two decades, and while it was a source country before, now it has become a `target` and `transit country`.

Summary/Abstract:Turkey is one of the countries which receives permanent migration and is situated on the route for transit migration to Europe due to its geographical location and cultural characteristics. Migration to Turkey is forced largely due to wars, internal conflicts and disputes rather than economic in nature. Starting due to cultural imperatives as a result of the Ottoman State’s losing territories, such migration has accelerated during the construction of Turkey's nation states and the immigration continued to flow from particularly Balkans and other regions including the East Turkistan, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan in the period of the Republic (İçduygu & Sirkeci, 1999, p. 259-265; Çakırer Özservet, 2013, p. 170). Many immigrants immigrate to Turkey temporarily or permanently due to economic and political instability in above mentioned countries as well as Turkey's being a bridge between East-West and North-South (İçduyu & Toktaş, 2005, p. 43). In addition, Turkey is in the "host country" position especially for those immigrants from the same culture since it took over the Ottoman legacy (Buz, 2008, p. 2).

Summary/Abstract:The pressures that started with the name changes of Turkish villages in the 1930s began to rise even further with the “one nation” decision of the communist regime in 1956. By the year 1984, the Turks whose names were changed perforce due to the assimilation policy in Bulgaria and whose languages were banned started a resistance campaign, which was widely supported by the Turks in the resistance zone. The Bulgarian government has forced the Turks to migrate in 1989 in order to avert Turkish people from gaining further power in the region. The then Prime Minister Turgut Ozal has offered the introduction of a migration law which the Bulgarian government rejected, declaring a forceful expulsion within twenty-four hours. The 1989 Bulgarian immigration went down in history as the largest migration movement in Europe after the Word War II. In our study, the economic and financial impacts of the tragedy that the Turks went through in Bulgaria are discussed.

Summary/Abstract:As a country being a stage for a variety of migratory movements for many years, Turkey, until recently, did not have a comprehensive migration and asylum policy which takes into account of the realities of those movements and responds accordingly. The need for such policy has brought with it the efforts to develop a migration regime of which the new Law on Foreigners and International Protection (LFIP) is an essential element. The factors which played a role in the growing need for a migration and asylum policy are the increasing number of irregular migrants in the country and the deterioration of the Syrian refugee crisis. The lack of a comprehensive migration and asylum policy has loomed large when the country is a stage for mass migration movements.

Summary/Abstract:Turkey has developed into the sending, transiting and receiving position in regard of migration throughout the republic’s history. These characteristics have differed from time to time depending on the global migration trends. In the early period of the republic, ethnic concerns became the main influence of the policies. Like the other contemporary nation states, Turkey used migration as an instrument of “homogenization” and building the nation-state (Kirişçi, 2007; Erder, 2007, p:6). İskan Kanunu (settlement law), issued in 1934, is important to show a typical policy of the early period. Turkey maintained the iskân kanunu and was in force until recently. The iskan kanunu deteremined that only the Turks or people of Turkic origins including the Muslims coming from the ex-territories of the Ottoman Empire were accepted as an “immigrant” (İçduygu, 2007, p: 206).

European Union and Turkish Migration Policy Reform: From Accession to Policy Conditionality

Keywords:EU; Turkey; migration policy; reform; EU accession; conditionality;
Summary/Abstract:The EU typically exerts influence on domestic policy change in Turkey through accession conditionality. The main shortcoming of this reform framework is its interconnectedness to the country’s accession process, when the country’s prospects for membership are losing their credibility. This loss of credibility, leads to a halt in the EU induced policy change, though migration policy area presents a deviation from this trend. In the absence of a credible membership prospect, in 2011, the Law on Foreigners and International Protection was drafted, and ratified by the Parliament on April 2013. Subsequently, in December 2013 Turkey and the EU have signed the readmission agreement in parallel to the introduction of the road-map to visa liberalization. The main reason behind this commitment to the EU induced reform agenda, is the successful detachment of the migration policy area, from the accession conditionality by establishing its own policy conditionality. This paper claims that in the EU accession negotiations where the parties were stuck in a deadlock, persistence in using the accession conditionality as an incentive has been counterproductive. With the visa liberalization road map, the EU introduced an external incentive specific to migration and set a more approachable target than accession, which ensured the sustainability of the reforms.

Summary/Abstract:First of all, it is essential to point out the importance of the cooperation with the neighboring countries. Solely the protection of European Union's (hereinafter EU) borders cannot be successful unless neighboring countries cooperate in the fields of irregular migration and the fight against cross-border criminality and terrorism. In order to do this, the EU should offer a certain level of compensatory measures that incentivize such cooperation, such as economic privileges or visa facilitation. As an incentivizing measure, the EU recently signed readmission agreements with its neighboring countries and offered economic advantages, such as access to the single market, free trade agreements or the possibility of easier visa acquisition, which can be considered a "realistic option".

Summary/Abstract:As Turkey has moved from a state of emigration to immigration, lawmakers have identified the need to combat fraud within its migration framework. Its new framework has distinct similarities to the Australian model, a country which has been shaped by immigration but has shifted its policies to that of a protective objective. This paper provides a platform for comparing policies in determining the more effective measures for migration planning in relation to combating fraud to effectively deter unintended economic migrants in both countries.

Summary/Abstract:Turkey has been perceived and studied as an emigration country for decades in the policy and the academic circles. However, due to its growing economy, geopolitical location, and EU accession process, Turkey is slowly turning into an immigrant receiving country (Kirisci, 2009; Icduygu et al., 2014 and Tolay, 2012). “From the very first waves of Iranians (after the 1979 revolution) and Iraqis (in 1988 and 1991) to the much diversified migratory field of the early twenty-first century (refugees, illegal migrants, circular migrants, transit migrants of different origins), Turkey has become a country of large-scale, continuous and complex immigration” (Tolay, 2012, p.2).

The involvement of Turkey in the Cyprus dispute took place amidst the Cold War, which resulted in a process of transforming the major conflict between the Greek-Cypriot nationalist movement and British colonial administration into a Greek-Turkish politico-military confrontation at regional level and a Greek Cypriot-Turkish Cypriot contradiction at local-national level.

Summary/Abstract:Since the outbreak of the Syrian Civil War in the spring of 2011, the number of Syrian nationals seeking refuge within the borders of Turkey has surged, and the recent intensified threat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has only caused the number of Syrians fleeing to Turkey for safety to rise further. Today, Turkey hosts more Syrians than any other country in the world; according to official United Nations Refugee Association (UNHCR) registration statistics as of April 10, 2015, there are 1,758,092 registered Syrians in Turkey (UNHCR 2015) although estimates among academics, representatives from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and others predict the actual number of Syrians in the country as closer to 2.5 million. However, the legal status of Syrians in Turkey is unique. Not legally recognized as refugees due to Turkey’s historic and current migration policies, Syrians in Turkey are considered as ‘guests’ in the country and remain here under the legal status of temporary protection. Although this status provides for many basic rights - including shelter, food, education, medical support and the possibility of employment - Syrians often remain uninformed of and unable to access their rights-based provisions. Additionally, as the governmental and societal discourse of ‘guests’ suggests, Syrians are expected to be ‘hosted’ by the Turkish government and society and subsequently return home. Although governmental policy and many Turkish humanitarian aid-based NGOs continue to convey this discourse of Syrians as ‘guests’ under temporary protection, Turkish society is becoming tense - the Syrian ‘guests’ have overstayed their welcome.

Summary/Abstract:Migration is not a new phenomenon for Turkey. Before and after the foundation of the Republic, the country has received waves of migration but since the 1970s, migration dynamics of the country has been changing. Turkey has increasingly become a destination country for asylum-seekers and a transit country for irregular migrants. Mass influx of asylum-seekers and refugee movements in Turkey has originated mainly from its neighbours or former Ottoman territories. These movements have included Iranians, Turks of Bulgaria, Iraqis, Chechens, Bosniacs and very recently Syrians.

Summary/Abstract:In the last century, hundreds of thousands of people from the Balkan wars (1912-1913), from the population exchange between Turkey and Greece (1923- 1924), from the Balkan countries (1950-1951 and 1978-1979), from Bulgaria (1989), from the Eastern and South-eastern Anatolia Region (the 1990s), and finally from Syria (as of 2012) left their homeland through forced migration and settled in Turkey. One of the cities most affected by this process is İzmir - the third biggest city of the country. Those people who venture migration merely to live and for a safe future deal with an inhumane life such as poverty, pressure, and otherization in the places where they go. There is no doubt that each migration flow also negatively affects the labor processes in cities, the urban infrastructure, and the socio-economic life of the city.

Summary/Abstract:The concept of citizenship, which is a multi-layered construct by itself, consists of diverse structures when it comes to the citizenship of immigrant women. The migration process itself is gendered not only because of the fact that men and women are differently affected; but it is also likely to affect how gender identity interacts with the new identity bestowed upon the migrant women. The gendered experiences of oppression directed towards minorities are transformed into gendered dynamics of migrating to a host country and integrating into the new society.

Summary/Abstract:Migration is the phenomenon of people’s leaving their areas of residence definitely or temporarily due to a number of reasons (IOM, 2009). Even though the term migration primarily connotes the movement of a particular population from one location to another, migration has a structure that is much more extensive and deep-rooted than mere geographic replacement (Aksu & Sevil, 2010). Today, rapidly changing environmental, economic, political, and social structures lead individuals and groups to migrating to settle in different regions. Based on classifications using different criteria, we may talk of types such as voluntary migration, forced migration, permanent or temporary migration, transit migration, illegal migration, and chain migration (Mutluer, 2003; Gündüz 1996 cited in Ilgaz & Tuzcu 2005). In the literature, internal migration is identified as the population movement between areas within the borders of the country and external migration is identified as movements of geographic replacement occurring towards neighbouring countries or even beyond (Şahin, 2001).

Summary/Abstract:Introduction: Once a typical emigration country, Turkey has since 1990s been established as a transit and receiving society. Furthermore, a significant number of foreigners live in Turkey not only for work, pleasure, or education but also for personal reasons. Hence, the article focuses on a particular group of migrants – ‘love' migrants – men and women from several European countries, who settled in Istanbul due to their emotional ties with Turkish citizens and established families with them. The key questions of the article are: a) how foreign parents perceive family relations, a concept of a good mother and child-rearing practices in the Turkish society; and b) how on the basis of perceived differences, the foreign parents create symbolic boundaries specifically toward their Turkish in-laws, perceived typical Turkish “mothers”, and Turkish society as a whole.

Keywords:Europe; migration; gossip; sexual exploration; gender; culture;
Summary/Abstract:Extant literature on gossip is vast. Since the earlier days of discussion on the topic, which divided anthropologists over functionalist and methodological individualist camps (Gluckman, 1963; Paine, 1967; Gilmore, 1978), there have been calls for clarification of the term. In this paper, we operationalize gossip as “the fear of what they say”. Our approach to gossip reflects communal dynamics among the populations we study, Turks in Amsterdam and Strasbourg, where the fear of what other people might say (“elalem ne der?”) constitutes a reality that shapes how one acts. As we take gossip as an effective controlling mechanism that works through fear, we also delve into the larger anxieties that are argued to threaten the communities in which we conduct our ethnographic fieldwork. One such anxiety emanates from the possibilities of sexual exploration that life in Amsterdam and Strasbourg brings. In both cities, the fear of young (and sometimes old and married) men and women “fooling around” puts the youth under the spotlight as potential candidates for misdemeanor. In both contexts, we witnessed a growing anxiety over second and third generation Turks’ engagement with extra and pre marital affairs. The fear of becoming gossip material, which could not only tarnish one’s reputation, but in some cases lead to more dire consequences, is a reality that our informants do not overlook. Both in Amsterdam and Strasbourg, the young Turkish women and men we talked to are well aware of moral boundaries that determine the do’s and don’ts of communal life. However, rather than reorienting their actions in line with cultural norms, our informants invent tactics (de Certeau 1984) to navigate intra-community surveillance. How they continue to live their lives amidst surveillance is a topic that we look further into in this paper.

Summary/Abstract:Considering the social and economic dimensions of migration, it is fact that both individuals who immigrated and community which is immigrated effect bilaterally from different perspectives. Migration describing as a demographic process in the sense of settlement changes between geographic region and / or the administrative areas, can also be described as population movements occurring with reasons such as economic, social, cultural, political, religious, natural disasters and so on. In other words, migration means that with better life expectancy individuals and communities leave theirs habitats and temporarily or permanently decide to go to new residential areas (Pazarlıoğlu, 2005:121).

Summary/Abstract:It has been three years that the local imam of Karakaya [Black Rock] was assigned to this highland village of Kayseri by the Diyanet, Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs. What brought him to Kayseri in the first place was his graduate studies in the faculty of theology at Erciyes University. Himself a native of Adana, a Mediterranean city that is only a few hours driving away, coming to Kayseri was not a game changer. In the past three decades, Kayseri, a city that was once the hub of out-migration, has become a city in-migration that attracted population from the neighboring Central Anatolian cities. What he did not digest easily was his appointment to Karakaya, a village with two mosques and a barely any congregation to fill one. As one of Kayseri’s main villages of outmigration, the village was empty for the majority of the year. In this village which was populated for the most part with the elderly and the retired, the imam argued that he would have a hard time gathering a congregation (cemaat) during the winter. Waking up at daybreak and battling his way through knee-high snow to recite the call to prayer in winter was not something he was used to back in his Mediterranean town. Moreover, serving to a non-existent congregation at this seemingly ghost town touched his nerves. The emptiness of the streets, and the presence of vacated houses was not something that he was familiar with.

Summary/Abstract:This famous line by Max Frisch is quoted frequently in articles dealing with the social and political lives and identities of Gastarbeiter (guestworkers) who later settled in Germany (e.g. Luft, 2002). These essays use this line to point out the surprise and the distress the West German society faced with its changing social landscape. This quote also shows the - mostly overlooked - ways migrant populations are understood in relation to their jobs. Migrants, more than most other groups, are defined by their labor. This article lays out the association between a migrant population, Turks, and a form of labor, small business ownership in Germany. It argues that the way Turks in Germany are understood in the cultural imaginary of Germany shifted from “the guestworker” to “the small business owner” parallel to the changes in the labor patterns among them. The article argues so by analyzing two incidents, i.e. Thilo Sarrazin’s interview about integration and the naming of NSU (Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund) murders as “Döner-Morde” (“döner murders”) by the media.

My investigation of the discourse finds that the topic of health care for migrants is predominantly strained between two poles: integration (or inclusion) on the one side and economy on the other side, however both are well linked to politics. The connections in the discourse of health care for elderly migrants to aspects of integration as well as of economy are content of this manuscript and will be discussed in more detail below. Sociological or health care theoretical discourses are less well established on this topic, despite some existing educational and training activities for employees in the health care sector. In earlier publications I have already shed a light on the political process of Intercultural Opening in Germany with respect to elderly care for migrants (Altıntop 2014a, 2014b). Here, I will point out the strong connection between the established discourse of a culturally sensitive elderly care and integration policies on the one and economy on the other side.

At the same time, concepts that advocated in Turkey became popular among Turks in Germany.

Summary/Abstract:France has among the European countries one of the longest tradition of receiving immigrants (Freeman, 1994) and was considered for long time as one of the model countries of incorporation of immigrants. France has represented the model called “assimilation”, i.e. the attitude that gives to immigrants all the civic rights very quickly, but in exchange it’s expected that they will give up their cultural particularities and that they will in some sort “forget” from where they come (Seidlová, 2008).

Summary/Abstract:Globalization creates new horizons. The Norwegian anthropologist Fredrik Barth speaks of the way the global, with its trans-nationalism and transnational social movements, becomes the site of the beginning of 'in between' trans-border median spaces (Barth, 1994, p.11-32). Barth proposed to distinguish three levels of processes that evolve by themselves: a micro (or personal) level, a macro level (of 'state policies'), and a median level, where processes 'create collectivity and mobilize groups for diverse purposes by diverse means' (Barth 1994 cited in Leman et al., 2014).

Summary/Abstract:The controversy surrounding the construction of mosques has been part of Europe’s political landscape during the past forty years, and it has reached a new level of intensity since the beginning of the new century. The controversy crystallizes public debate and struggle over Islam, migration, and European identity. It’s about more than architecture, the height of minarets or the number of parking places around a mosque. The heated debates surrounding the development of Muslim infrastructure are public forums where societies negotiate questions of belonging or exclusion of the Muslim minority in the national state. In my paper, I will propose a multi-dimensional framework for the analysis of these controversies. This paper is based on empirical research on opposition to mosque construction in Austria, which I conducted between 2009 and 2012 (Fürlinger 2013).

Summary/Abstract:Recognition is a form of respecting or valuing another (human) being (the different meanings of recognition are described in Inwood, 1992: 245-47; and Margalit, 2001: 128-129). Perhaps the most influential formulation of this concept is Hegel’s “struggle for recognition” argument. Hegel discusses as Inwood (1992) states, recognition in mainly three implications which are identification, detecting and honouring the status of others in order to gain 'self-consciousness or self-knowledge'. Generally, we can argue that recognition is also one of the most complicated topics because it involves political results and legal effects.

Summary/Abstract:Most migration scholars treat Turkey as a country of emigration, a transit route, and a country of immigration for migrants and refugees from Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa (Erzan & Kirişci 2008; Içduygu & Kirişci 2009) or a country of settlement of co-ethnic, second generation immigrants from western European countries. By contrast, the movement and settlement of EU nationals of non-Turkish descent has attracted attention only recently (Içduygu et al 2013: 3; OECD 2014), although the phenomenon lies at the intersection of key political, economic and institutional developments both in the EU and in Turkey itself (Tolay 2012; Linden et al 2012). Obviously, one of the crucial dimensions is the processes of political and institutional reforms in Turkey upon its preparation for EU membership and the impact of such changes on the rights, preferences and migration strategies of foreign nationals in general and EU citizens in particular (Içduygu et al 2013: 6-16). Furthermore, the migration of EU citizens to Turkey offers an alternative and yet undiscovered angle to view the recent rise of identity and ethnicity politics in the EU member-states (Hsu 2010), the fluid and variable geometry of European borders and identities (Del Sarto 2010), and the resulting formation of conceptions of “the other”, both in the EU and in Turkey.

Summary/Abstract:The Kurdish diaspora’s configuration and mobilization strategies provide excellent ground in understanding plural dynamics of diasporization as it is built on experiences and memories of oppression and exile, forced displacement, labor migration, and insecure environment. Following this socio-constructionist approach that examines diasporas as being imagined transnational communities (Sökefeld, 2006), in this paper, the diaspora politics formation is conceived through a specific mobilization process that leads to the politicization of the Kurdish migratory space. The political engagement serves as an instrument of community building within the Kurdish Diaspora and is conceived as the core of the diasporic identity (Adamson, 2008; Baser, 2013).

Summary/Abstract:The fairly sizable Kurdish community in Western Europe, particularly in Germany, has been a focus of scholarly interest for some time now. But Kurds are also present in other parts of Europe, where they have received much less attention. One such community has settled in the Czech Republic. Small in size, it has nevertheless taken an organized approach to promoting its interests in the public sphere and is connected, to some extent, with the broader diaspora of Kurdish nationals in other countries, and with the homeland(s). Particularly in recent decades, globalization and its attendant phenomena have made it easier to pursue domestic politics while abroad. Before the 1989 revolution, the former Czechoslovakia (CSSR) supported various Middle Eastern associations - some terrorist in nature - whose members often resided in Czechoslovakia. Many Middle Eastern communities became established, as well, including the Kurdish community

Summary/Abstract:In this contribution, I will address a few of the multiple layers of interconnectedness between environmental issues, village reconstruction, and memory processes settled in the transnational community of people from the province of Dersim/Tunceli. In the last decade, community development projects as realized by the succeeding generation have been part of a common environmental consciousness and reflect how they deal with the fate of their ancestors, untold family histories, and the orally transmitted knowledge of persecution their parents and grandparents had to experience in the eve of WWII. Their way of dealing with the past in relation to or through environmental issues shapes a very specific space. Strasser and Akçınar (2014) elaborated on the level of community building processes in the Dersim transnation as well as the political context in Turkey and showed the multiplexity of remittances and the meaning of 'political remittances' in the Dersim case.

Summary/Abstract:More than twenty years after the peak of forced migration process, we have an important bulk of knowledge related to this phenomenon thanks to many academic works conducted on its political as well as social aspects. We know that, being an involuntary form of migration, it differs considerably from the economic (i.e. voluntary) waves of migration both quantitatively and qualitatively: it is massive, unprepared neither in material nor immaterial terms, it leaves the migrants deprived of supporting resources from the village, the hostile environment in the urban setting marked by a stigmatising discourse. Thus, the consequences related to the integration-adaptation-survival of the forced migrants in the cities are also different.

The existing studies focus on the ostensible (de jure) empowerment they gained, particularly among immigrant/diasporic Kurds. However, the lack of empowerment in practice generally sustains even if they acquire immigrant status or formal citizenship status in the West.

Summary/Abstract:In ethnic households, concern for children is the leading factor pushing parents to speak the official language to ensure their children’s success in public schools, especially with the thought, “we never wish them to go through what we went through in the past.” In the official discourses, Turkishness has been superior over other ethnic identities since the 1920s: the language rights of the Jewish, Greeks, and Armenians living in Turkey have been guaranteed by the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne; however, the government recognizes only these three non-Muslim groups as minorities. Tevhid-i Tedrisat Kanunu (the Law of Unification of Education) implemented in March 1924 is also part of the strategy for achieving national unity and integrity by Turkifying all ethnic groups in Anatolia. In 1934, İskân Kanunu (The Settlement Law) was supposedly passed to address new arrangements for migration and population issues; however, these “arrangements” were obviously reflecting a monolingualistic approach, and the Law directly targeted assimilating the Kurds and their language (Beşikçi, 1991).

Summary/Abstract:Analysing population patterns and behaviour of ethnic groups in Turkey is a challenge due to paucity of reliable data drawn upon representative samples as well as overall very sensitive political context. However, the ethnic differences in Turkey’s demography are significant as in many other multi-ethnic countries. Due to rapid urbanisation and violent ethnic conflict in the second half of the 20th century, Turkey has seen a major geographic shift of population which has also resulted in changes in ethnic mix of populations across regions. In this study, we aimed at mapping out these shifts. Nevertheless, finding the appropriate proxy to measure ethnic patterns is difficult as there has been no census or major survey data detailing language use published since the 1965 Turkish census while ethnic identity, as such, has been never been openly asked for in any census or major survey. Historically, mother tongue in surveys and censuses have been used as a proxy of ethnicity. However, we have first analysed a relatively recent survey data to raise concerns about the use of language as ethnic marker. Hence, we opted to utilise second language use as well as parental language besides birth-region as ethnic markers instead of mother tongue/main language as over the years Turkish has become the most commonly used language among the Kurds in Turkey.

Summary/Abstract:Migration mainly refers to the “permanent movement of persons over significant distance” (Sills and others, 1968, p.286). In addition, another typology of forced migration is defined as migration is a result of coercion and crisis. The definition provided by the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration, is the movements of refugees and internally displaced people (those displaced by conflicts) as well as people displaced by natural or environmental disasters, chemical or nuclear disasters, famine, or development projects (IASFM, 2015). Not only are the reasons for the migration important but so are the crises behind these migrations (Kuhlman, 2000, pp.4-5). So, the agents of forced migration can be the state, terrorist groups, commercial entities, and natural disasters; however mainly violence and persecution are the main reasons behind it (Kuhlman, 2000, p.5). These forced and involuntary migrations can be categorized into three subcategories. The first one is ethnic dilution, the second one is ethnic consolidation and the third category is ethnic cleansing defined as forcing undesired population to flee from that specific area (Bookman, 1997, pp. 122-125). The methods of ethnic cleansing are “…coerced departures, harassment to induce departure, cultural cleansing, payment for expulsion and genocide” (Bookman, 1997, pp.133 – 137).

Summary/Abstract:In this paper, Nazım Hikmet’s poetry in exile years, from 1951 to his death in 1963, is examined in terms of identity projection and the role of language in this. Nazım Hikmet is one of the greatest poets of our age. His greatness lies in his ability to meet universality and the search of novelty with the contemporary and universal interpretations of the conventional. His poetry, meeting futuristic effects with socialist realistic, Marxist art and then with the voice of folk poems, gets the final touch by the poet’s distinctive sensitivity. This is why “earth”, “land” and “Turkish” are the key concepts in Nazım Hikmet. Before examining his language and identity perception, let’s take a global look on the relation between language and identity/culture.

Summary/Abstract:Migration and exile are human tragedies that cannot be characterized. Since the beginning of time, the world is the scene of these tragedies. Migration is a mostly conscious, sometimes forced movement to a new life which aims to have better life conditions and styles. However exile is leaving a habitual, accepted life style usually under pressure and being sent away by force. Migration sometimes involves free will and desire; people are ready to a transition. However in exile, enforcement stands in the forefront; everything happens out of free will. In migration, there is a target to a better life or at least there is hope. On the other hand in exile, there is moving away of experiences, there is hopelessness and resentment. In author’s life, there were two exile periods after 1910. The first one was between 1913-1918 The second period was between 1922-1938. (For further info, see: Aktaş, 2014). The novels telling the tragedies of young girls are the products of the second period.

Ankara Anlaşması yoluyla oturum almanın, göçün değişen karakteri ve göç etmeyi zorlaştıran düzenlemeler bağlamında “yeni bir göç yolu” olduğu makalenin iddialarından birisidir. Makalede üzerinde durulacak bir başka husus ise, göçe sebep olan çatışmaların göçten sonra da başka şekillerde devam ettiği ve bunun da insan hareketliliğini artırdığı görüşüdür.

Summary/Abstract:Türkiye kuruluşundan bugüne önemli ölçüde iç ve dış göç deneyimi yaşayan bir ülkedir. Geçmişte Türkiye açısından en büyük dış göç dalgaları olarak, özellikle Balkanlardan (Yunanistan, Bulgaristan ve Bosna gibi) Türkiye’ye gelen göçmenler ve Türkiye’den Avrupa ülkelerine yönelen işçi göçü ifade edilebilir. Dolayısıyla, dış göç çerçevesinde ülke farklı dönemlerde hem dış göç alan, hem de dış göç veren bir konumundadır. Ancak özellikle 1990’lı yıllardan itibaren küresel ve bölgesel gelişmeler bağlamında Türkiye’nin daha çok dış göç alan bir ülke haline geldiği dikkati çekmektedir. Bu süreçte ayrıca göçmenler ve mülteciler için Türkiye’nin güney-kuzey ve doğu-batı ekseninde transit geçiş ülkesi olma konumunun da giderek belirginleştiği görülmektedir.

Summary/Abstract:Göç; bir toplumun ya da bireylerin belli bir zaman diliminde ortaya çıkan doğal, sosyal, ekonomik, politik ve kültürel faktörlerdeki değişmeler sonucunda ülke içinde veya ülkeler arasında, isteğe bağlı veya zorunlu olarak yer değiştirme hareketliliği olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu hareketlilik sonucunda, göç eden bireyler ya da toplum etkilendiği gibi göç edilen bölgedeki bireyler de etkilenmektedir. Bu nedenle göç, neden-sonuç ilişkisi bakımından pozitif ve negatif etkilerinin incelenmesi gereken oldukça önemli bir konudur.

Summary/Abstract:Kökleri çok eskilere uzanan göç ya da sürgün olgusu, özellikle içinde bulunduğumuz çağın, evrensel sorunsal konularından birisi olarak değerlendirilebilir. Cumhuriyetimizin kuruluşunu izleyen yıllarda, özellikle ellili yıllardan sonra yurtiçinde Doğu’dan Batı’ya, kırsaldan kente göçlerle birlikte, ülkemizdeki kenter sayısı her geçen gün artmakta ve bu göç dalgası günümüzde de sürmektedir. Altmışlı yıllardan sonra, Almanya ve Fransa gibi Avrupa ülkeleri başta olmak üzere, Türkiye’den dünyanın birçok ülkesine göçler yaşanmış, sayısı birkaç milyonu bulan ulusötesi Türk göçer nüfusu ile Türkiye dışgöç olgusunu deneyimlemiştir. Görüldüğü üzere, göç olgusu, göçebe geleneğinden gelen Anadolu insanı için günümüzde de en temel sorunsallardan birisi olarak belirmektedir.

Summary/Abstract:Göç, insanlık tarihinin hiçbir döneminde yok olmamış, çeşitli sebeplerle varlığını daima korumuş bir olgudur. Yaşamı başka yerde sürdürme kararı kolay bir karar değildir. Savaşlar, tabii afetler, can ve mala dair emniyetsizlik, geçim sıkıntıları, siyasal baskılar, daha özgür yaşama arzusu, göç için, bilhassa kitlesel göç hareketleri için temel sebeplerdir ve kişilerin çoğu kez bu hallerde fazla düşünme şansları yoktur. Sürgün de kişilerin yahut kitlelerin üzerinde fazla düşünme şansının olmadığı bir tür göçtür. Bir de başka bir mekânda hayatı devam ettirmeyi arzulayan, tamamen şahsın iç dünyasının arzusuna göre şekillenen mekân değiştirmeler vardır. Daha çok ferden (yahut eş ve çocuklarla) gerçekleşen bu yer değiştirmeler de bu gruplar içerisinde anılabilirler; çünkü neticeleri itibariyle kültürleşme, entegrasyon, kimlik sorunları vs. bu göçlerde de benzer sorunlar olarak ortaya çıkar.

Summary/Abstract:Göçmen Edebiyatı söz konusu olduğunda, Almanya’ya kıyasla Hollanda’daki Türk yazarların çalışmalarına daha az ilgi gösterilmiştir. Bu yazarlardan biri de Murat Tuncel’dir. 1952 doğumlu Tuncel, İstanbul Atatürk Eğitim Enstitüsü Türkçe Bölümü’nü bitirdikten sonra Anadolu’nun çeşitli yerlerinde öğretmenlik yapmış ve 1989 yılında Türkçe dersleri vermek üzere Hollanda’ya gitmiştir; halen yaşamını orada sürdürmektedir. Ülkemizde pek tanınmayan ve yapıtları üzerine akademik bağlamda bir çalışmaya rastlamadığımız Tuncel’in 1994 yılında Şükrü Gümüş Roman ödülünü alan Maviydi Adalet Sarayı ve 2000 yılında Orhan Kemal Öykü Ödülünü alan Gölge Kız adlı yapıtlarında dış göç olgusu ele alınır.

Summary/Abstract:Göç, basit anlamda fiziksel yer değiştirme değil, insanın içinde “doğduğu sosyalleştiği/sosyalleşeceği,” (Akıncı:2014, 30) ortamı terk ederek yeni bir çevreye yeni bir dünyaya gitmesidir. Göç edenlerin, göç nedenleri ne olursa olsun, gittikleri ülkelerde ne şekilde karşılanırlarsa karşılansınlar, kabul edildikleri ülkelerde farklı derecelerde uyum güçlükleri yaşarlar. Göç edenler yalnızca yeni bir dil öğrenmek değil aynı zamanda yeni bir kültüre, düzene, ortama, davranış biçimlerine uyum sağlamak zorundadırlar. Bu nedenle, bireyler başka bir kültürle tanıştıklarında ister istemez kültürel bir değişime uğrarlar.

Summary/Abstract:Bu çalışmada Esmahan Aykol’un yurtdışında pekçok ödüle layık görülen ve çok satanlar listesinde yer alan polisiye romanlarını inceleyeceğiz: Kitapçı Dükkanı (2001), Kelepir Ev (2003), Şüpheli bir Ölüm (2007), Tango İstanbul (2012). Yazarın Almanya’da maruz kaldığı ayrımcılık ve dışlanma deneyimlerini edebiyata yöneltmesini, Sigmund Freud psikanalitiğinde açıklandığı şekliyle yüceltme mekanizması kapsamında incelerken, yazarın, roman kahramanını kendisinin “eş insanı” olarak kurgulamasını bu çerçeve içinde örnekleriyle göstermeye çalışacağız. Aynı kapsamda yazarın, göçmen kimliğini ele alış biçimiyle edebiyata getirmiş olduğu yeni soluğu ortaya koymaya gayret edeceğiz. Ardından Esmahan Aykol’un göç temasını anlatmak için polisiye roman kurgusunu seçmiş olmasıyla romanlarında eklektik bir yazın türünün örneğini oluşturduğunu tanıtlamaya çalışacağız.

Summary/Abstract:Bulgaristan Türkleri ve göç hep iç içe olmuş bir olgudur. Osmanlı-Rus savaşı sonrası yoğun göç dalgaları başlamış, en son 1989 göçüne kadar sürmüştür. Türkiye ve Bulgaristan arasında imzalanan ikili antlaşmalarla 1950-51 yıllarında göç devam etmiş ve bu göç sırasında parçalanan aileleri birleştirmek amacıyla 1969- 1978 yılları arasında yoğun olarak sürmüştür (Akgün, 2011, s.76). Son Göç veya Büyük Göç olarak da bilinen 1989 Bulgaristan Türklerinin göçü, bu göçün canlı tanıkları yüz binlerce göçmenin hafızasında yaşamakta olduğu gibi, yüzlerce yazar ve şairin kalemlerinde halen canlanmaktadır. Hayriye S. Yenisoy, “1989 Bulgaristan’ın gerçekleştirdiği geniş kapsamlı zorunlu göçün sebeplerini 1984/85 olaylarında aramamız gerektiğini” belirtir (Kırcaali Haber, 16 Haziran 2010, s.3). 1989 Bulgaristan Türklerinin göçü zorunlu göç kapsamındadır ve iki ülke arasında bir antlaşma olmaması bu göçü özel ve farklı kılmaktadır.
