Les Nord-Caucasiens émigrent dans l’Empire ottoman à partir des années 1860. Consécutive à la victoire du conquérant russe dans la région, cette émigration nord-caucasienne est en grande partie la conséquence de la politique, ou plutôt des politiques suivies alors par la Russie. L’Empire tsariste est en effet désireux de vider le Caucase du nord-ouest pour que la voie vers le littoral pontique, perçue comme un enjeu stratégique, soit définitivement et totalement ..

Writing the Great War, 2020

In Turkey, interest in the Great War was quite limited for a long time.1 An important reason has ... more In Turkey, interest in the Great War was quite limited for a long time.1 An important reason has been the clear break with the Ottoman past intended by the Kemalist Republic, including especially the tragic developments during the years 1912–22, a decade that the fi rst republican generations experienced as well. Nonetheless, the wars of this period (the Balkan Wars, World War I, and the War of Independence) became aspects of national history as catalysts for the foundation of the republic. A retrospective reading of these events opened a space for narratives concerning the territories of the new republic, thereby omitting the Balkan and Arab provinces. Contrariwise, the Battle of Gallipoli—which was, together with the Battle of Kut-Al-Amara in Ottoman Iraq from December 1915 to April 1916, one of the two main victories of the Ottomans during the Great War period—gained importance by being inscribed into the hagiographical narrative of the national hero, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

Neglected Perspectives on a Global War, 1914-1918" on 8-12 April 2014 in Istanbul. It will be in a research book format, and thematically organized. In order to enrich thematic balance, some academics who did not participate in the conference will also be invited to contribute to this volume. It will consist of the four main subchapters "Mobilizing for War:War Economy & Social Life", "Demographic changes, Minorities & Gender and War", "Personal Narratives:Prisoners of War & Intelligence", and "End of War: Structural Consequences, Representation & Memory".

Les historiens, les ethnologues et les anthropologues ont depuis longtemps developpe des questionnements sur les rapports entre les « lieux de memoire », les constructions identitaires, les usages politiques de l’histoire, son ecriture - et ses reecritures. Sociologues et politologues se sont empares de ces thematiques aiguisees par l’effondrement des regimes communistes en Russie et en Europe de l’Est, par les tensions entre constructions nationales et mondialisation, et par la relecture de l’experience coloniale. Faconne par la quete des origines et l’interpretation selective des temps longs de l’histoire, le monde present porte aussi l’empreinte des tragedies du siecle dernier : nazisme et shoah, partitions et massacres, guerres et apartheid. Pouvoirs etablis, mouvements contestataires ou collectivites dominees, les acteurs multiplient les usages de ...

La plupart d'entre eux etaient des musulmans non turcs. Nous avons suivi la trajectoire de quatre groupes (nord-caucasiens, georgiens, bosniaques, cretois) jusqu'a nos jours, entre Empire ottoman pluri communautaire et etat-nation turc. Accueillis comme musulmans, implantes par l'Etat ottoman, ces immigres ont forme des communautes villageoises. La montee du nationalisme turc les a soumis a une politique d'assimilation et a une occultation de leur identite non turque. Des les annees 50, l'assimilation s'est acceleree avec l'exode rural. Cette urbanisation a permis en retour le developpement de mouvements associatifs, axes sur la revendication d'identites culturelles. Ceux-ci, en forte croissance depuis la fin des annees 80, ont profite de l'evolution politi...

In France, this type of association flourished until the 1970s, as demonstrated by the various concentrations of the local inhabitants of Auvergne in Paris (Girard 1997). Closely linked with periods of industrial development and rural to urban migration, this phenomenon diminished with the occurrence of the progressive integration both of the peripheral regions into the national economy, and of provincial migrants into an urban setting. Yet in the Turkish model, the scope of hometown associations has grown incessantly since the 1990s 3 , which suggests that a phenomenon is at work, which cannot be treated as a simple transitional consequence resulting from the process of urbanisation. How can this specificity be explained? What does it tell us about contemporary Turkey? [2] Before going into more detail, it is necessary to make some introductory remarks on the subject of 'hometown associations'. They unite immigrants from the same territory in their place of immigration. Literally, the term hemşehri denotes somebody who is from the 'same town' ; in everyday language it refers, broadly speaking, to roots of origin in the same region, county or village (Güneş-Ayata 1990: 97; Erder 1996: 109; Tekşen 2003: 64). Substantivised, the adjective becomes hemşehrilik, meaning an informal link involving mutual assistance, but the term has the principal function of providing a means of identification to others in everyday dealings (Fliche in this volume). The hemşehri association comes about through the realisation of a possible link which arises from a common geographical origin. Because the organisational principles are similar, we have regarded hometown associations as those which regroup the göçmen-the indigenous people from the former Ottoman provinces, which are considered to form the 'Turkish world', i.e., mainly the Balkans and the Caucasus. [3] The object of our study is not the concept of a link arising from the same place of origin, but the organisations, which claim to be representative of this. In fact, we consider that the forging of identities occurs chiefly in the place of settlement, even if the region of origin does partly determine 1 We publish here the conclusions of the symposium held the 29 th and 30 th of March 2004 at the IFEA (Institut Français d'Etudes Anatoliennes). 2 This text has been translated by Sarah Cannici, Nick Davies and Chandni Maroke. 3 In a case study about the city of Bursa, the following figures came to light
