Nostalji literatürü yaygın olarak, radikal değişim dönemlerinde, daha sabit, sakin ve mutlu algılanan bir geçmiş imgesine yönelik özlemin, yani kolektif nostaljinin arttığını varsayar. Türkiye’nin özellikle son on yılda bu tarz bir kökten dönüşüm geçirdiği ileri sürülebilir. Bu süreç, “Eski-Yeni Türkiye” karşıtlığında vücut bulan, kutuplaşmayı artırıcı, politik bir söyleme de dönüşmüştür. Eski Türkiye’yi “altın çağ” olarak görenler için bu dönemin popüler kültürü, iyileştirici, bugünden kaçışı sağlayan bir işlev edinmektedir. Şüphesiz bu durum, nostaljinin bir “duygu” olarak sadece olumlu olana yönelmesiyle ilgilidir. Bu çalışma, “Eski-Yeni Türkiye” gerilimini, “yitirilmiş rejim nostaljisi” kavramı bağlamında, Old Laik Days (@oldlaikdayss) adlı Instagram hesabı üzerinden okumayı hedeflemektedir. Paylaşımlar incelendiğinde, yitirilmiş rejim nostaljisi (geçmişi yüceltme), geçmiş ile bugünü kıyaslama, iç-şarkiyatçılık ve bastırılmış hıncı dolayımlama temalarının baskın olduğu görülmektedir.

“Where are you my old Turkeyyy”: Nostalgia for a Lost Country as a Counter-Victimization Discourse

Öz

The literature on nostalgia agrees with the assumption that drastic changes nurture feelings of longing, namely collective nostalgia, towards a stable, calm and happy past perceived as such. It can be asserted that Turkiye has passed through such a deep transformation in the last decade. This transformation, embodied in the concepts of “Old-New Turkiye” in daily language, is also used as a political discourse that increases polarization. This study aims at tackling the “Old–New Turkiye” discourse within the concept of “nostalgia for a lost country (ex regime)”, by examining the Old Laik Days (@oldlaikdayss) Instagram account. The results indicate that the reiterating themes are nostalgia for a lost country (comparison of the old and the new), glorification of the past, self-orientalism and mediation of repressed resentment.
