Images of “the Republican Citizen” Designed in the Context of National Identity Construction in Türkiye during the Early Republican Period
Öz
In the 19th century, as a result of certain economic, political, and social changes, the model of the nation-state came to replace that of the multinational empire. Through this process, “nationality” became the new framework that moved hundreds of millions of people away from their traditional identities, gathered them into new and modern large collectivities and determined whom they resembled and from whom they differed. The process of constructing national identities is psychological, economic, political, and sociological, but it also involves emotional ties. From the early 20th century onwards, modern Turkish identity emerged as a composite of these processes. In the early phases of national identity construction in the Republic of Türkiye (1923-1938), certain foundational elements were shaped that would serve as the backbone of the polity. These elements revolved around particular discourses and images, such as the ideal of “contemporary civilization” [muasır medeniyet], the representation of the “backward” Ottoman past as “the other”, the conception of the exalted founder-leader, narratives of “a triumphant army” and “a triumphant history”, new symbols of “the great nation”, and the image of “the desirable Republican citizen.” “The Republican citizen” was designed by the ideological apparatuses of the state, who also equipped “the citizen” with new values. These values were determined according to how the large group that the citizen belonged to defined itself and how it wished to be defined by others. This article investigates the images of “the desirable Republican citizen” that were tied up with discourses around these new values. It pays particular attention to the social representations of the women, youth and teachers of the Republic, groups who were supposed to play a key role in transmitting these images.
