Memory and Compulsory Population Exchange on Time and Narrative Axis

Summary/Abstract: The main impetus of this paper is to tackle the problem of how scapes of the compulsory population exchange fall within the topology of individual cultural memory. A repository of material, memories of the individuals belonging to different generations, was compiled during a field work in (...) Kayseri, in August 2007. With respect to its inherent potential for models of individual representation and signification and their reflections in the memory, Riclur's trajectory of tripartite explanation of nimesis is adopted here for construing the narrative of Habibe Yilmaz, one of the first generation of exchangees, mubadils. In population exchange and memory matrix, Yilmaz's narrative and its peculiar narrative structure represents a crystallization of „a realm of memory“ of a traumatic past experience.
