Geçmiş, şimdi, ve gelecek arasında hafızanın politikleşmesi: Kıbrıslı Türk aileler arasında kuşaksal hatırlama

This thesis attempts to understand how three different generations of Turkish Cypriot families remember the past ethnic conflict between Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots and make sense of their experiences of ethnic conflict in terms of politicization of memory. Following this question, one objective of this thesis is to understand, interpret, and analyze the differences and similarities upon their narratives, what is meaningful or relevant to them to mention about the past, and how they experience the influence of the ethnic conflict in their everyday lives. Another is revealing the meanings that respondents give to the past, present, and future of the island with regard to ethnic conflict, and how power relations work in terms of memory, even in the smallest detail in society.
