Savaskan Durak, Nuran 01 July 2004 (has links) (PDF)
The purpose of this study is to concentrate on the changing discourses in Turkish history and their constitutive themes in positioning the self&amp / #8211 / image of the minorities, i.e., Armenians and Greeks, the Turks being other. The research is carried out on the basis of the literary works produced by the intellectuals / authors of these minorities. The historical context, which is taken as the reference point for these discourses, covers the period from the late Ottoman Period up to the early 1960s. Furthermore, the study explores how the ethnic minorities constructed their identities in the last century. This study also seeks to find out which discourses have been the leading ones through history and to determine the continuities and ruptures in the use of themes by these ethnic groups to construct their identities. In addition, policies and ideologies attributed to the state by the minorities are tackled with the literary works and main discursive elements used by minority groups to (de)construct Turkish national identity are explored.

The Timeless Identity: Exploring National and Ethnic Identity Among Immigrants from Former Yugoslavia Who Identify as Yugoslavian in Malmö / Bezvremenski Identitet:Istraživanje Nacionalnog i Etničkog Identiteta među Imigrantima iz Bivše Jugoslavije koji se Identifikuju kao Jugosloveni u Malmeu

Stankovic, Katarina January 2024 (has links)
This thesis explored the perceptions of immigrants from the Former Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) residing in Malmö, Sweden, of their Yugoslavian, national, and ethnic identities, as well as factors contributing to maintenance of Yugoslavian identity. Despite the dissolution of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s and the subsequent rise of distinct national identities, some individuals continue to identify as Yugoslavian. The study therefore aimed to understand how these immigrants maintain their Yugoslavian identity and perceive their national and ethnic identities, through a qualitative approach utilizing semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that the Yugoslavian identity is perceived as one of unity, acceptance, and inclusion, shaped and maintained by various factors together. The research contributes to the field of migration and ethnic relations by explaining the solid nature of Yugoslavian identity, and its ability to transcend time and space, showing how it is influenced and maintained by a combination of various factors.
