İçiçedir Ötekilik Halleri: Festival ve Mit Arasında Imbros’da Hatırlamak ve Unutmak
Embracing Otherness: Festivals and Myths Remembering and Forgetting at Imbros

Summary/Abstract: This article seeks to present ethnographic tales on the various aspects of “otherness.” In order to illustrate my case, I examine the ethnographic data on Imbros, based on the research conducted between 2000-2002, in addition to the brief period in 2008 I spent in Athens with the Imbrians. I particularly focus on my own narrative of fieldwork, along with those of the Imbrians, who left the island and with the elderly who currently inhabit the island. My focus is the link between narrative and memory, with a particular emphasis on remembering and forgetting; and the role of narrative in establishing a sense of belonging to the island. With the story of fieldwork, I focus on textualization of experience and the role of emotions in fieldwork; while panagyia, the traditional Orthodox festival represents another angle—the embodied, remembered and forgotten narratives.
