  • Oral History and Memory Studies in Turkey” Leyla Neyzi in Turkey’S Engagement with Modernity: Conflict and Change in the Twentieth Century
    “Oral History and Memory Studies in Turkey” Leyla Neyzi in Turkey’s Engagement with Modernity: Conflict and Change in the Twentieth Century. Celia Kerslake, Kerem Öktem, Philip Robins, eds. Palgrave Macmillan, 2010. Introduction Itself a relatively new interdisciplinary field, oral history and memory studies is a fledgling research area in Turkey. This provides a contrast with history, a well-established, hegemonic discipline historically allied with the state. While many academics in the field of oral history and memory studies outside Turkey were trained in history, and through their work challenged and transformed traditional historiography, in Turkey, practitioners of oral history tend to come from other disciplines such as folklore, anthropology, sociology, literature and women’s studies. As a new field, oral history and memory studies is weakly institutionalized in academe: few universities offer courses in oral history and/or memory studies, usually on the inititative of individual academics based in other programs. In recent years, though, with the rise of identity politics and widespread debate in the media on national history, academics as well as NGO’s, informal groups and individuals are turning to oral history as a means of rediscovering and reinterpreting the past. In this chapter, I briefly review the history of oral history and memory studies in Turkey, and provide a case study to show that this methodology and interdisciplinary field has the potential to change the way the recent past is studied and represented both within academe and in society as a whole. The Rise of Oral History Oral history is defined as spoken memories about the past recorded by oral historians in a dialogue with individuals providing testimony.
