Abstract

Abstract:The Great Fire of Smyrna (Izmir) in September 1922 and the subsequent population exchange had fatal consequences for Ottoman Christian communities, namely Orthodox Greeks (Rums) and Armenians. The 1930 Convention of Settlement, Commerce, and Navigation, a treaty between Greece and Turkey (the Greco-Turkish Ankara Convention), would later permit individual resettlement of persons but not of groups en masse. In the early 1950s, some Smyrniote Greeks, including Giorgos Seferis, Olga Vatidou, and Giorgos Tzavelopoulos, managed to visit their ethnically cleansed homeland and write (or in some cases, orally transmit) their memoirs. These individuals, former Ottoman citizens who were excluded from Turkish national identity and returned to a "new and wholly Turkish Izmir," embarked on personal pilgrimages that haunted the contours of the young Turkish Republic's national identity.

故乡是伯里柯洛萨的土地:共和土耳其早期Smyrniote希腊人的灾难后返乡叙事
摘要:1922年9月士麦那(伊兹密尔)大火和随后的人口交换对奥斯曼基督教社区,即正统希腊人(Rums)和亚美尼亚人产生了致命的后果。1930年的《定居、商业和航行公约》是希腊和土耳其之间的一项条约(《希腊-土耳其-安卡拉公约》),后来允许个人重新安置,但不允许集体重新安置。20世纪50年代初,一些士麦尼奥希腊人,包括Giorgos Seferis、Olga Vatidou和Giorgos Tzavelopoulos,设法访问了他们种族清洗过的家园,并撰写(或在某些情况下口头传播)了他们的回忆录。这些人是被排除在土耳其民族身份之外的前奥斯曼公民,他们回到了“新的、完全土耳其的伊兹密尔”,开始了个人朝圣之旅,这些朝圣之旅萦绕在年轻的土耳其共和国的民族身份轮廓中。
