Abstract

Antakya, a city on the Turkish border with Syria, has in contrast to many cities in Turkey, been successful historically in protecting its plurality and in this form it exhibits a good example of multiculturalism. However this is an authentic example peculiar to Antakya. The paper tries to put forth that the core of Antakya’s multiculturalism today is comprised of the intermingling of component of the Ottoman old “millet” system with elements of modernization process implemented during the Republican period. Thus the paper asserts that it is not possible to understand how this authentic culture within the border field of a Unitarian Nation State has continued without looking at the different historical periods that reveal the reciprocal relationship between local, national and global. In this context the impacts of Ottomanist governance and of Kemalism; of the debates about the entrance into the E.U. as well as the recent crisis in Syria on inter-ethnic relations and the identification processes in Antakya are being scrutinized.

Özet

Türkiye’nin Suriye sınırında bulunan Antakya kenti, Türkiye’nin pek çok kentinden farklı olarak, çoğulculuğunu tarihsel olarak korumuştur ve bu şekliyle çokkültürlülüğün iyi bir örneğini sergilemektedir. Ancak bu, Antakya’ya özgü otantik bir örnektir. Makale, bugün Antakya’da var olan çokkültürlülüğün özünün Osmanlı eski millet sistemi ile Cumhuriyet döneminde uygulanan modernleşme sürecinin unsurlarının bir karışımından oluştuğunu ileri sürmektedir. Dolayısıyla makale yerel, ulusal ve küresel arasındaki karşılıklı ilişkiyi ortaya çıkaracak farklı tarihsel dönemlere bakmadan, bu otantik kültürün bir üniter ulus devletin sınır alanında nasıl süregeldiğini anlamanın mümkün olmadığını vurgular. Bu bağlamda, makalede Osmanlı ve Kemalist yönetimlerin; Avrupa Birliği’ne giriş sürecindeki tartışmaların; ve Suriye’deki son krizin Antakya’da gruplar arası ilişkileri ve kimlikleşme süreçlerini nasıl etkilediği irdelenir.
