Emotions and Nationalism: Armenian Genocide as a Case Study

Until recently, sociologists have paid surprisingly little attention to the relationship between emotions and nationalism. Existing accounts remain homogeneous, linear and nonrelational. To remedy this gap, this article compares public controversies in Turkey over the Armenian genocide at two historical moments: its semi‐centennial anniversary in 1965, and the publication of an article in 2004 by the Armenian‐Turkish journalist Hrant Dink that led to his assassination in 2007. It demonstrates that the genocide, and the conflicting epistemic structures that it incites, is a source of anxiety for Armenians due to their actual displacement within the nation. It is also a source of anxiety for Turks due to the perceived threat of displacement within the nation. These relational anxieties over the nation played an important role, during these two events, in reproducing hierarchical and exclusionary configurations, experiences, and representations of nationhood. During the 1965 semi‐centennial, Armenians reacted to the mainstream Turkish public's anxieties by pledging their loyalty to the state. Dink's assassination in 2007, on the other hand, showcases how an attempt by the excluded to redefine the what and who of the nation united otherwise separate social sections around a nationalist front.

of the processes of confiscation, appropriation and distribution on labor relations and production patterns. How did the property transfer affect the crops and goods in the production of which Armenians played vital roles? Could the new Muslim bourgeoisie whose start-up capital was the Armenian properties become successful economic actors? Did this process of property transfer contribute to class stratification? Or did it open the way for social mobility? These questions can only be answered through detailed studies on different localities. Armenian sources, including the archives of the Patriarchate and Armenian foundations, have been largely sidelined in historical studies conducted in Turkey. As explained by Bedross Der Matossian in detail, there are several Armenian sources, which can provide valuable information for research projects that can be formulated around these questions. The fact that more scholars have been learning Armenian in recent years hints that Armenian sources will be incorporated into more studies in years to come. Considering the importance of regional differences in the Ottoman Empire, regional comparisons with regards to these questions can provide valuable insights regarding economic and social history. Another issue, which remains understudied in the literature on the confiscation, appropriation and distribution of Armenian properties, is the links between material motives and choices of the ordinary people. How did the Muslim immigrants settled on Armenian properties react to the prospects of their return? Beyond theoretical reasoning, did the distribution of Armenian properties serve as a means to re-establish state-society relations in different localities? If so, is it possible to trace this in the acts of those who benefited from this process in the Republican period? Academic research seeking to answer these questions can enrich our understanding of the history of the Armenian Genocide, the late Ottoman Empire and Republican Turkey.

The most prominent issue influencing Turkish‐Armenian relations is the international recognition of the Armenian genocide. However, there is a notable absence of empirical analyses regarding the perceptions of the genocide among the Turkish population. This study aims to fill this scholarly gap by exploring, for the first time, the perspectives of Turkish Jews. It analyses evidence collected from interviews conducted with 14 Turkish Jews, utilising Stanley Cohen's (2001) theoretical framework, which aids in delineating significant factors by a categorisation of types of acceptance and denial. The findings highlight a diversity of responses linked to political attitudes, which can be broadly categorised into Kayades and Avlaremoz mindsets. They also show that Turkish Jews' views on the Holocaust influence how they perceive the Armenian genocide. Additionally, the results indicate that Cohen's approach is useful in explaining non‐denying responses. In conclusion, the study argues that Turkish Jews' perspectives appear to be strongly related to their stance towards the Turkish state and the Holocaust.
