Abstract (EN)

Through an anthropological investigation of Australian Gallipoli pilgrims, this research examines issues of imaginaries, pilgrimage, and the social construction of places on a global level. Gallipoli evokes strong emotions among Australians, and it is the heart of their heritage and identity. Moreover, the factors that allow these landscapes to provide Australians with such intense experiences are varied. These include the Gallipoli imaginaries, which may have both personal and societal roots, and the Anzac tradition's associated social virtues. Nevertheless, they are not the only factors that affect the experience. In these interactions, pilgrims discover a hitherto unknown element of history, ironically including friendship and the brutality of warfare. All of these factors blend with personal backgrounds and provide distinctive visitor experiences. The thesis conducts a processual investigation of the significance of the Anzac tradition and cross-cultural interactions on Gallipoli pilgrimages, based on three years of research in Gallipoli, touring and attending commemoration events with Australian pilgrims. By examining the Anzac tradition's social roots, interactions, and emotions that occurred on the field during the Gallipoli pilgrimage, this study provides an ethnographic analysis of the processes through which new layers are added to imaginings and identity with global encounters. In conclusion, I contend that pilgrimage process has the capacity to alleviate the viewpoints of the different communitas involved in the global pilgrimage and fosters the acquisition of new ideas. Australians do not experience anxiety in the encounters here. Further, these people who witnessed the war here, leave with anti-war ideas.
