“…Trauma theorists have long propounded the idea that “literature could be read as a kind of testimony to unspeakable experience” (Kennedy 2020, 47). Building on this, Sütterlin (2020, 23) argues that literary expression linked to trauma employs “figurative language and narrative structures that defy conventional modes of representation.” In turn, I suggest that, in literature, the wor(l)ds relating directly to the traumatic experience that remains impossible to utter could be inflected and take the shape of antiquities. Thus, antiquities from material remains of past civilizations are transformed into unconventional modes of trauma representation that embodies the wound.…”

This article contributes to our understanding of the links between forced exile, refugee trauma, and antiquities. It zooms in to the case of the Ottoman Greek refugees who fled to Greece in the wake of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the defeat of the Greek army by the Turkish National Movement forces in 1922. It critically discusses memories of ordinary people from Lithri (ancient Erythrai, modern-day Ildırı), Nymphaio (near ancient Sardeis, modern-day Kemalpaşa), and Ayasolouk (ancient Ephesus, modern-day Selçuk). It also looks at aspects of the literary world of Smyrna-born poet and Nobel Laureate George Seferis. It is argued that, for these refugees, antiquities served as conduits, symbols, metaphors, and allegories for expressing the trauma linked to their state of uprootedness and forced exile. The refugees in question employed reverse “rescue archaeologies,” where it was for antiquities to salvage refugees rather than the other way round. The main primary material consulted consists of refugee testimonies from the Oral Tradition Archive of the Centre for Asia Minor Studies and Seferis’s diary. The approach is interdisciplinary and, besides Ottoman Greek history, draws on cultural geography, anthropology, archaeology as well as broader discussions in memory studies and critical heritage studies.

“…Several previous studies have confirmed the existence of a relationship between cultural trauma and collective identity construction. This is explored in the studies of Heryanto (2018), Appadurai (2019), Sütterlin (2020), andMeretoja (2020. In 2021, studies related to this matter will be increasingly discussed, as can be read in the study by Adji & Polain (2021), Al Azmeh, et al (2021), Liu (2021), Leese, et al (2021), Simon (2021), andWicaksono (2021).…”

To anticipate the eternal polarization in the 2024 election, this study uses a critical perspective to trace the upstream of the problem of identity politics in Indonesia. By using digital ethnography methods, this study explores various narratives of cultural trauma that often circulate in the midst of election momentum as the root of the problem of identity politics. In this study, the psycho-social paradigm is used to read various narratives in Twitter conversations as a response to cultural trauma against social bodies that resist. By using a conceptual framework related to the process of forming a third space through digital media, this study offers a form of cultural trauma coping in a divided society.
