Focusing on the Turkish and Soviet Azerbaijani cases, my work reconstructs the intellectual and nationalist networks that were forged across imperial and national boundaries and shaped the debates over language, modernization, and national identity in Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Central Asia. The ascendancy of Turkic Latinization, I argue, emerged with the rise of the Soviet and Kemalist states in the post-WWI period. These revolutionary states enacted far-reaching reforms to modernize all areas of life, and remake their respective societies in a Soviet or Kemalist mold. At the heart of both states’ political projects was language reform, which increasingly equated Latinization with reaching modernity. Though the Soviets and Kemalists ultimately envisioned different modernities, their language reforms of the Turkic language both drew from the same pool of Turcological and nationalist literature. ii Table of Contents Acknowledgements………………………………………………………………i Abstract…………………………………………………………………………..ii List of Tables…………………………………………………………………….v List of Figures……………………………………………………………………vi Chapter 1 : Introduction………………………………………………………….1 1a.

Introduction In October 2017, the President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, issued a formal decree that the Kazakh language would replace its current Cyrillic-based alphabet with a Latinized script.1 President Nazarbayev legitimized this alphabetic reform using the language of modernization (citing the need to prepare Kazakh for the digital age), national sovereignty (asserting Kazakhstan’s independence from neighboring Russia), and the reinvigoration of Kazakh cultural identity. In power since 1991, Nazarbayev viewed Kazakh alphabet reform as vital for maintaining the country’s cultural sovereignty. This was stressed in Nazarbayev’s 2017 speech, entitled “Course Towards the Future: Modernization of Kazakhstan’s Identity,” where he stated that Latinization was a prerequisite of the government’s “Third Modernization of Kazakhstan” program. Under this state-led transformation, Nazarbayev argued that “it is necessary to start working on a step-by-step transition of the Kazakh language to the Latin alphabet. We must approach this carefully and with sensitivity. It will require a steady and staged approach. And we have been preparing for this with caution since independence.”2 Following the trajectory of other Central Asian Turkic languages and dialects, Kazakh has employed different alphabets throughout its history: Old Turkic runes, Perso- Arabic, Latin in the 1920s and 30s, and finally, Cyrillic after 1939. After two decades of independence from Russia, Kazakhstan’s political leadership seeks to replace Cyrillic with Latin to carve out a more autonomous cultural identity from Russia. In his 2017 speech, 1 BBC News, “Kazakhstan to Qazaqstan: Why would a country switch its alphabet?” https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-41800186. 2 Nursultan Nazarbayev, “Course Towards the Future: Modernization of Kazakhstan’s Identity,” 10/16/2017, http://www.ukgu.kz/en/course-towards-future-modernization-kazakhstans-identity. Nazarbayev stated that “It is a change driven by the specific requirements of the modern technological environment, of communications and science and education in the 21st century.” Furthermore, the president envisioned that a phased and gradual transition from Cyrillic to Latin: “In our schools, all children learn English. This uses the Latin alphabet. It means that there will be no problems for young people. I believe that by the end of 2017 it is necessary, with the help of scientists and the general public, to adopt a single standard version of the new Kazakh alphabet. In 2018, we should begin training for teaching the new alphabet and preparing textbooks for secondary schools.”3 Should Latinization be successfully adopted, Kazakhstan will follow previous post- Soviet Turkic states—Turkmenistan in 1991, Uzbekistan in 1992, and Azerbaijan in 1993—to switch from Cyrillic. Ostensibly, a Latinized Kazakh alphabet will render the language more intelligible to these neighboring Turkic states and could provide further momentum for Latinization in other Turkic countries, such as Kyrgyzstan. Kazakh’s Latinization, therefore, should be viewed as the latest example of a longer history of Turkic language reform. This

See the beginning in IRS- Heritage, 3 (35) 2018 Emblem of ASALA y 1990, Armenia or Nagorno-Karabakh were, arguably, the only two places in the world that Bformer ASALA terrorists could safely go, and not fear pursuit, in one form or another, and it seems that most of them did, indeed, eventually end up in Armenia (36). Not all of the ASALA veterans took up arms, how- ever. Some like, Alex Yenikomshian, former director of the Monte Melkonian Fund and the current Sardarapat Movement leader, who was permanently blinded in October 1980 when a bomb he was preparing explod- ed prematurely in his hotel room, were not capable of actually participating in the fighting (37). Others, like Varoujan Garabedian, the terrorist behind the attack on the Orly Airport in Paris in 1983, who emigrated to Armenia when he was pardoned by the French govern- ment in April 2001 and released from prison, arrived too late (38). Based on the documents and material avail- able today in English, there were at least eight ASALA 48 www.irs-az.com 4(36), AUTUMN 2018 Poster of the Armenian Legion in the troops of fascist Germany and photograph of Garegin Nzhdeh – terrorist and founder of Tseghakronism veterans who can be identified who were actively en- tia group of approximately 50 men, and played a major gaged in the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh (39), but role in the assault and occupation of the Kelbajar region undoubtedly there were more.

Anita Judith Ogurlu 16 February 2016 2 Abstract This thesis examines the life and work of a little-known interwar period German writer Lilo Linke. Documenting individual and social evolution across three continents, her self-reflexive and autobiographical narratives are like conversations with readers in the hope of facilitating progressive change. With little tertiary education, as a self-fashioned practitioner prior to the emergence of cultural studies, Linke’s everyday experiences constitute ‘experiential learning’ (John Dewey). Rejecting her Nazi-leaning family, through ‘fortunate encounter[s]’ (Goethe) she became critical of Weimar and cultivated hope by imagining and working to become a better person, what Ernst Bloch called Vor-Schein. Linke’s ‘instinct of workmanship’, ‘parental bent’ and ‘idle curiosity’ was grounded in her inherent ‘spirit of insubordination’, terms borrowed from Thorstein Veblen.

In the Republic of Turkey, an early history text provided the definition of being a Turk as "any individual within the Republic of Turkey, whatever his faith who speaks Turkish, grows up with Turkish culture and adopts the Turkish ideal is a Turk." Today the word is primarily used for the inhabitants of Turkey, but may also refer to the members of sizeable Turkish-speaking populations of the former lands of the Ottoman Empire and large Turkish communities which been established in Europe (particularly in Germany, France, and the Netherlands), as well as North America, and Australia.

  • Tact in Translation Negotiating Trust by the Russian Interpreter, at Home
    Tact in Translation Negotiating trust by the Russian interpreter, at home and abroad Eline Helmer University College London Anthropology of Russia and Interpreting Prof Anne White Dr Seth Graham Declaration I, Eline Helmer, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Eline Helmer 2 Abstract Being the only conversational participant with the ability to follow both sides of a cross- linguistic dialogue gives the interpreter the power to obscure or clarify. Because of heightened mutual dependency, all interpreters need trust to perform their roles. They actively build trust, both between self and client and between clients. In academic linguistic contexts, trust is often regarded as based on impartiality: the more objective and invisible the interpreter, the better and more professional he or she will be. In practice, this approach is not always possible, or desirable. The trust relationship between client and interpreter can also be based on closeness and personal interdependence. Interpreting po-chelovecheski (lit. ‘approaching someone in a humane way’) is a colloquial way for Russian interpreters to describe this approach. This thesis explores the negotiation of trust by Russian interpreters. The Russian translation market’s unregulated character, and historical framing of ‘the foreigner’ as someone to be protected and mistrusted, make for an interesting case to study face-to-face interpreting at all levels of the international dialogue. Based on ethnographic fieldwork with interpreters from St Petersburg, Moscow and Pskov, I argue that becoming ‘someone’s voice’ presents a specific caring relationship.
