Ringvorlesung Turkologie Wintersemester 2021/22

Turkey and Southeast Europe in the Interwar Period

As the title “Turkey and Southeast Europe in the interwar period” suggests, the series will concentrate on the late Ottoman and early post-Ottoman/Republican periods and bring together scholars that work on different aspects of that era of radical ruptures and new foundations. Related memory culture and history-writing in many cases still fundamentally disagree. The historical distance of a whole century however invites new or overarching approaches. The series thus aims at a fresh and interconnected understanding of the emerging post-Ottoman world in the large context of the defining Treaty of Lausanne (1923).

The Lausanne Treaty in Turkish official and popular historiography

Abstract

This lecture will offer some preliminary reflections on the conflicting arguments about the Lausanne Conference and Treaty (11.09.1922-24.07.1923) in Turkish official and popular historiography. It will suggest that the examples of popular historiography on this topic could be examined through the main identities of modern Turkish society or, in fact, the ‘war of identities.’ In this context, it will especially try to seek to understand the arguments of Kemalist and Neo-Kemalist, and the anti-Kemalists (Nationalist-Conservative/Islamists).
