HAFIZA MEKÂNLARININ İKTİDAR ARACI OLARAK KULLANILMASI ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME

Hafıza mekânları müzeler, abideler, mezarlıklar, heykeller, kamusal binalar vemeydanlar, sokaklar, tarihi koruma projeleri, levhalar, anıtlar ile ilişkili ritüeller,tasvirler ve onlarla ilişkili pratikleri içermektedir. Bunlar sembolik alanlarıvurgulamakta ve kimlik (ırk, sınıf, cinsiyet, ulus gibi) nosyonunungerçekleştirildiği ve onun üzerinden rekabet edildiği kollektif siyasetin düğümnoktaları olarak işlev görmektedirler. Pek çok hafıza mekânı açık bir şekildemevcut güç ilişkilerini meşru gösteren veya eskilerini akamete uğratmakniyetinde olan siyasal birer projenin sonucunda inşa edilmişlerdir. Buçalışmanın amacı anma faaliyetlerine odaklanarak mekân ve hafıza ile ilgilicoğrafi literatürün genel bakış açısını değerlendirmektir. Çalışmada literatürtematik üç bölümde organize edilmiştir: (a) Milliyetçi tasavvurlarınkutsallaştırılması, (b) değişen siyasal rejimler ve (b) ulusal mekânlar üzerindekiçatışmalar.

Evaluation of Places of Memory as an Instrument for Power

Places of memory consist of museums, monuments, cemeteries, sculptures, buildings, squares, streets, historical conservation projects, memorials, plaques, rituals, portrayals and all practices related to them. These features emphasize the symbolic meaning of places and function as political competition nodes for various identities such as race, class, gender and nation. Places of memories are constructed mostly as a result of political project aimed to show current power relations of society or to abort previous ones. The aim of this study is to review the literature by focusing on practices of memory. The literature has been organized into three thematic chapter: (a) the sacralise of national imaginations, (b) changing political regimes, (c) conflicts over national places.
