Abstract

2012 ve 2013 yıllarının yaz aylarında İran’da yaptığım metinsel ve etnografik keşif amaçlı araştırmalara dayanan bu makale 2008’de devlet desteği ile yayımlanıp çeşitli kanallardan dağıtımı yapılan bir kadın hatıratını yorumlamaya girişmektedir. Bu makale, Kürt Şii bir kadın olan Seyyide Zehra Hoseyni’nin İran-Irak Savaşı hakkındaki hatıratını konu alan Da başlıklı kitabını iki düzlemde bağlamsallaştırmaktadır. Her sözlü tarih projesi ve hatırat yazımı gibi Da da özgül bir toplumsal, tarihsel ve siyasal bağlamın dolaysız ürünüdür. İkinci olarak, Da’yı 1990’lar ve 2000’lerde İran’da kadınlar, gençler ve azınlıkların hoşnutsuzluklarına cevaben geliştirilmiş bir resmi ideolojik proje olarak yorumlamak mümkün görünmektedir

THE IRAN-IRAQ WAR IN IRANIAN WOMEN’S MEMOIRS: READING SEYYEDEH ZAHRA HOSSEINI’S DA

Abstract

Based on a textual and ethnographic exploratory research conducted in the summers of 2012 and 2013 in Iran, this paper critically examines a woman’s memoir about the Iran-Iraq War. Published in 2008, promoted by the state and entitled Da, this memoir was written by a Kurdish Shiite woman by the name of Zahra Hosseini. This study attempts to interpret Da by contextualizing it on two levels. Like every oral history project and memoirs, Da has also been the product of its immediate social, political and historical context. Secondly, it seems that the state initiative to commission and promote such a work seems to be an ideological project to counter the discontents of women, the youth and ethnic minorities in Iran in the politically more open post-war period, i.e. the 1990s and 2000s
