Boundaries of the nation in the space of the urban: landscape and social memory in Istanbul
Amy Mills · 2006
Catalogue summary
Kuzguncuk’s Armenian church and mosque sustain a nostalgic image of Istanbul pluralism, while historic-house restoration and gentrification obscure departed minorities, mid-century Turkification, traumatic exclusion, and newer class divisions.
Why this matters
The neighborhood study shows how Armenian material traces can be celebrated as heritage while the coercive history that emptied their community is suppressed.
