BERRY B.A. Florida Christian College, 1996 M.A. Lincoln Christian Seminary, 2001 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Writing and Rhetoric in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2013 © 2013 Christian C. Berry ii ABSTRACT On a small contested part of the world, the peninsula of Crimea, once a part of the former Soviet Union, lives a people who have endured genocide and who have struggled to etch out an identity in a land once their own. They are the Crimean Tatar. Even their name, an exonym promoting the Crimeans’ “peripheral status” (Powell) and their ensuing “cultural schizophrenia” (Vizenor), bears witness to the otherization they have withstood throughout centuries. However, despite attempts to relegate them to the history books, Crimeans are alive and well in the “motherland,” but not without some difficulty. Having been forced to reframe their identities because of numerous imperialistic, colonialist, and soviet behavior and policies, there have been many who have resisted, first and foremost through rhetorical sovereignty, the ability to reframe Crimean Tatar identity through Crimean Tatar rhetoric. This negotiation of identity through rhetoric has included a fierce defense of their language and culture in what Malea Powell calls a “war with homogeneity,” a struggle for identification based on resistance. This thesis seeks to understand the rhetorical function of naming practices as acts that inscribe material meaning and perform marginalization or resistance within the context of Crimea-L, a Yahoo! Group listserv as well as immediate and remote Crimean history. To analyze the rhetoric of marginalization and resistance in naming practices, I use the Discourse Historical Approach (DHA) to Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) within recently archived discourses. Ruth Wodak’s DHA strategies will be reappropriated as Naming Practice Strategies, depicting efforts in otherization or rhetorical sovereignty. iii I lovingly dedicate this to my wife, Elvira, a Crimean Tatar, who supported me each step of the way, and to my children, Leo, Levi, Lily, Landen, and Leila, who patiently waited for dad as he spent countless hours studying and writing.

Furthermore I would like to thank her for introducing me to the many rhetorical concepts that make this thesis possible. Also, I would like to thank Angela Rounsaville and Pavel Zemliansky, who willingly read my thesis, even in their time off during the summer, and who provided excellent guidance throughout the whole project. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES .................................................................................................................................... ix LIST OF TABLES

    Open Letter of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine

    We would highly appreciate if you correctly attribute to Ukraine the publications produced by scientists based in Sevastopol, Simferopol, Kerch, Yalta, Nikita, Feodosia, Nauchny, Simeiz, Yevpatoria, Saki, and other cities and towns of the Crimean region, Donetsk, and Luhansk, in particular the Crimean Laser Observatory of the Main Astronomical Observatory, the Marine Institute of Hydrophysics, the Crimean Nature Reserve, the Karadag Nature Reserve, the O.O.Kovalevsky Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas, the Donetsk O.O.Galkin Institute of Physics and Engineering, and others. We insist on appropriate attributions of Crimean and Donbas research institutions to Ukraine in any publications, especially in international journals. In those cases when items with inappropriate country affiliation have been already published due to neglect or for some other reason, we request the soonest possible publication of corrigenda or editorial notes, explaining the temporary occupied status of the Crimea and the Donbas. In those cases when Crimean or Donbas authors, for fear of repressions, provide for communication reasons their current addresses as Russia or Russian Federation, the editorial disclaimer has to be made indicating the real status of Crimea and Donbas as a constituent and integral part of Ukraine, with proper reference to the relevant international documents adopted by the UN and/or other bodies. An example of such a disclaimer could be as follows: “The author(s) from the Crimea / Donbas of the article(s) appearing in this Journal is/are solely responsible for the indication of his/her/their actual postal address(es) and country affiliation(s). However, the Journal states that the country affiliation(s) indicated in the article is/are improper.

    Crimea Crimean peninsula located on the south of Ukraine, between the Black and Azov Seas. In the southern part of the peninsula located Crimean mountains, more than a kilometer high. Peninsula is connected to the mainland of Ukraine by several isthmuses. The eastern part of Crimea separated from Russia by the narrow Kerch Strait, a width of less then ten kilometers. Crimea - is one of the most interesting places for tourism in Ukraine. On a very small territory - about 26,800 square kilometers, you can find the Sea and the mountains, prairies and lakes, palaces and the ancient city-states, forts and cave cities, beautiful nature and many other interesting places. During two thousand years, the Crimean land often passed from hand to hand. In ancient times, the Greeks colonized Crimea and founded the first cities. After them the Romans came here. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Crimea became part of the Byzantine Empire. Here was baptized Prince Vladimir who later baptized Kievan Rus. For a long time in the Crimea live together Tatars, Genoese and the small principality Theodoro, but in 1475, Crimea was conquered by the Ottoman Empire. More than three hundreds years the Ottoman Empire ruled the Crimea. After the Russian-Turkish war in 1783, the peninsula became part of the Russian Empire. In 1854-1855 Crimea was occupied forces of Britain, France and Turkey. During the battle near Balaklava death many famous Britons, including Winston Churchill's grandfather. And now, the highest order of the British armed forces - the Victoria Cross minted from metal captured near Balaclava Russian guns.
