SOSYAL BİLİMLERDE DİASPORA ÇALIŞMALARI: MODERNLİK, İKTİDAR VE KİMLİK

Abstract

Günümüzde sosyal bilimlerde kimlik ve diaspora çalışmalarında bir artış vardır. Bu kavramlar tarih, sosyal psikoloji, sosyoloji gibi alanların kendi gündemlerini tesis ederlerken kullandıkları ana kavramlardır. Farklı bir çevrede yaşayan azınlıklar, kendi varoluş ve kimliklerini, kim ve ne oldukları ve/veya olmadıklarına dair bilgi aracılığı ile oluştururlar. Buna karşılık merkezi otoriteler ise düzeni sağlamak için sosyal bütünleşmeyi temin etme yollarını ararlar. Düzen sağlama çabası ulus devletlerin olduğu kadar sosyal bilimlerin de en önemli niteliğidir. Bu çalışmada sosyal bilimlerin temel kavramlarından biri olan diasporanın gelişimi, ilgili diğer kavramlar olan öteki, melezlik, kültürel çeşitlilik ve grup ayrımına odaklanılarak ve modernitede bilginin nasıl kullanıldığı ele alınacaktır

DIASPORA STUDIES IN SOCIAL SCIENCES: MODERNITY, POWER AND IDENTITY

Abstract

In recent years there is an increase in the field of social sciences regarding the concepts of identity and diasporas. These concepts also take place in the fields of history, social psychology and sociology as a major concept of their own agendum. Minorities living in a different environment constitute their own existence and identity through constituting knowledge regarding “who” and “what” they are and/or they are not. Despite that, central authorities aim to obtain social integrity in order to provide order. Thus social and symbolic borders must be leak proof. The effort to obtain order is one of the most important aspects of nation-states as well as of social sciences. In this paper, the development of the concept of diaspora as a main theme in social sciences along with the increase of studies related to the concepts such as otherness, hybridism, cultural diversity and group classification is being focused on with special reference to the usage of knowledge in modernity
