Parce qu'ils sont arméniens

Rate this book
Avril 2015 marquera le centenaire du génocide arménien. Une page noire de l’Histoire turque, toujours controversée, toujours taboue. Quel regard peut porter sur cette communauté et sur cet épisode une Turque née dans les années 70 ? Pinar Selek répond avec ce récit personnel et engagé, tissé de ses souvenirs, observations et rencontres. Avec elle, nous apprenons de l’intérieur ce que signifie se construire en récitant à l’école des slogans proclamant la supériorité nationale, en étudiant sur des manuels mensongers, en côtoyant des camarades craintifs et silencieux, en sillonnant une ville où les noms arméniens ont été effacés des enseignes, en militant dans des mouvements d’extrême gauche ayant intégré le déni. Un témoignage sensible et polémique de la part d’une femme engagée dont la personnalité et les écrits continuent d’être marqués par la question arménienne.

Türkiye'den bu kadar nefret eden aydin kimliginde bir kadin, batida kendisine kanat gerecek yapiyi tabi ki kolaylikla bulmus. Türkiye en kolay hedef, istedigin kadar saldir, yaninda hep birilerini bulursun, nasilsa 1.Dünya savasindan beri ülke olarak yapilanmis olabilmesi hala batiyi cildirtiyor, ama az kaldi yakinda tamamen ele gecirirler. O zaman ne diyecek bu yalanci aydin kesimi, merak ediyorum. Keske anlattigi gibi azinliklarin yaninda dik dursa, o zaman hakliligina herkes inanirdi, 19 yüzyilin sonundan itibaren parcalanan Osmanli topraklarinda adi konmamis cok kiyim yapildi ama bunlarin sonucunda olenlerin cogu müslümandir aynen su anda tüm dünyada terörist damgasi yiyip ölenler gibi. Pinar Selek gibi insanlarin biraz vicdan sahibi olmalarini ve Balkan, Kafkas ve tüm Orta Dogu hakkinda daha fazla okumalarini beklerim. Kitabin tek olumlu yani ailesinin ve kendisinin hapiste cektikleri yuzunden nefretinin sebebini anliyor olmamiz. Umarim bir gün kendini affeder.

siamo intrappolati in meccanismi di dominio continuamente reiterati. la lotta contro la repressione è condannata alla violenza? la politica e la libertà continueranno ad esistere in un contesto di violenza estrema? L’autrice dice che è possibile. e forse, lo penso anche io

Total delusion. I would definitely prefer listening to her lectures/conferences or reading her essays rather than this long-distance-biographical-something.
