Abstract

This paper attempts to gain some of that “lost ground” by tracing and analyzing the Cypriot women’s experiences and perceptions of modernity, work, conflict, war and displacement. Our research is based on the interviews of two groups of women; a) women who went to school and who worked during the British colony period; b) women who lost their homes and have been displaced because of the ethnic conflict on the island. We believe that modernity in Cyprus cannot be written without considering the Ottoman/Turkish, British and Greek grounds. This study traces, presents and analyzes the said lives and experiences and uses oral history as a theoretical and methodological stand to re-write history from the point of view of women in Cyprus

Özet

Bu makale Kıbrıslı kadınların modernite, çalışma hayatı, savaş ve yerinden edilme deneyim ve algılarının izlerini sürerek ve analiz ederek bir eksiği tamamlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmamız iki grup kadınla yapılan görüşmelere dayanmaktadır; a) İngiliz sömürge döneminde okula giden ve çalışan kadınlar; b) adadaki etnik çatışmalar sırasında evlerini kaybeden ve yerlerinden edilen kadınlar. Bizler Kıbrıs’ta modernitenin Helen, Osmanlı/Türk ve İngiliz kaynaklarından beslenen zemini sorgulanmadan yazılamayacağına inanıyoruz. Bu çalışma, Kıbrıslı kadınların bakış açısından onların anlatılarını sunar ve analiz ederken tarihin yeniden yazımında teorik ve metodolojik bir zemin olarak kabul edilen sözlü tarihi kullanır.
