Collective memory and the populist cause: the Ulucanlar Prison Museum in Turkey
(Sage Publications, 2021-10) Uğur-Çınar, Meral; Altınok, Berat Uygar
This article focuses on how political actors appropriate the past by utilizing collective traumas for their populist cause. We demonstrate how the Ulucanlar Prison Museum in Turkey and the oppression of military interventions, for which it served as a backyard, became a tool for the AKP’s (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi Justice and Development Party) populist agenda. Through a particular narration of history embedded in the museum, the AKP aimed to forge an internal frontier within the society between an envisioned homogenous body of people on the one hand and the elite on the other. Situating itself as the people’s authentic voice against this elite, the AKP tried to further its popular appeal and legitimize its extension of power. What appeared as coming to terms with the past was instead the instrumentalization of the past for a singular political agenda, eager to remove the complexities and pluralism of the past for the sake of telling a politically useful story.

Evading time and place in Ankara: a reading of contemporary urban collective memory through recent transformations
(SAGE Publications, 2019) Sak, Segah; Şenyapılı, Burcu
Based on precedent theories on collective memory and urban studies, this article develops a framework of approach to contemporary urban collective memory. Understanding urban collective memory by handling people and urban space as a system provides a sociospatial perspective for critical approaches to cities. The study initially provides overviews of theoretical approaches to collective memory and city, and then puts forth constituents of urban collective memory. Based on these constituents, contemporary urban collective memory is discussed, and a framework for analyzing contemporary cities in terms of urban space and urban experience is introduced. For a clear portrayal of urban issues within the context, the introduced framework is devised through the case of Ankara, the capital city of Turkey and the inspiring force behind this study. This framework aims to present a ground to assess people’s relation to urban spaces in the contemporary era.

Kolektif anlatı ve vatandaşlık kimliğinin inşasına dair sorular,cevaplar ve yeni sorular
(Galatasaray Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi, 2017) Uğur-Çınar, Meral
The article evaluates the current state of the literature on the collective memory-national identity nexus. Pointing at the interaction between state and non-state actors in the formation and reproduction of collective memory and national identity, the article shows both collective memory’s unifying and divisive role. By pointing at the unintended consequences of institutionalized collective memories on citizenship policies and by showing how transnational dynamics affect the collective memory-national identity link, the article invites further research in the field that is comparative, multifaceted, interdisciplinary and nonfunctionalist. By showing collective memory’s effect on institutional design, the article also urges for bodies of literature that have hitherto neglected collective memory to take this phenomenon seriously in their analyses of institutional design. The article also calls for studies that analyze the implications of changing communicative technologies for the link between collective memory and collective forms of identity.

Memory politics in 21st-century trauma site museums in Turkey
(2023-02) Altınok, Berat Uygar
This research focuses on the memory politics of the Justice and Development Party through the reading of trauma-site museums that focuses on the past’s political violence. Based on the fieldwork conducted in four different trauma-site museums opened between 2010 and 2021, the research argues the specific formation of these memory spaces and the instrumentalization of trauma sites are a case of a populist memory regime. The fieldwork includes Ulucanlar Prison Museum (Ankara), Memory July 15 Museum (İstanbul), July 15 Democracy Museum (Ankara), and Kahramankazan Martyrs of July and Democracy Museum (Ankara). The four museums chosen for this research symbolize different phases of the JDP government’s populist memory regime; the Ulucanlar Prison Museum display’s narrative, which aims to construct a people vs. establishment axiom, while the post-July 15 museums’ narratives aim to establish a people vs. traitors axiom. Overall the research focuses on the constituent role of collective trauma in populist identity politics and how trauma sites are instrumentalized in the mnemonic strategies to construct memory communities.

Türkçe edebiyatta kolektif belleğin yansımaları
(2012) Ulusoy Aranyosi, Ezgi
In this study, entitled “Reflections of Collective Memory in Turkish Literature”, I argue that literary texts, specifically narratives, can function as a means of collective memory, and I take up the task of explaining how these texts reveal different aspects of collective memory. In order to ground this claim, I first present a survey of various ways in which collective memory has been conceptualized, and then settle the definition of collective memory that will be referred to throughout the study. In the second chapter, I explicate the relationship between collective memory and narrative by appeal to Jan Assmann's three-fold characterization that concern the narrativeness of figures of memory. I relate this three-fold characterization of memory figures, which consists of a concrete reference to time and place, a concrete reference to a group, and an independent capacity for reconstruction, to the constructive elements of literary texts. One possible answer to the question of how literary texts function as grounds on which memory unfolds is discussed in the third chapter, “Reading the Memory: A Methodological Attempt”. In this chapter, demonstrating why a literary text by its very nature is methodological, the need for a metamethod is called for, for further literary analyses. The metamethod, taking the ways in which narratives are formed and conveyed as objects of analysis, focuses directly on how, namely the method by which, literary texts adapt as memory narratives. In the fourth chapter, three narratives of Turkish literature, Istanbul Was a Fairy Tale (Mario Levi), The Encounter (Markar Esayan), and The Reflection (Seyit Alp) are analyzed as examples of how literary texts could relate to collective memory in various ways. These texts, as subjects of the literary analyses run in this study, demonstrate the reflections of collective memory in Turkish literature.
