Makale, geç modernite bağlamında, ailenin kimlik ve kültürel bellek aktarımındaki rolünü nitel ve teorik bir metodolojiyle incelemektedir. Çalışma, modernleşme, kentleşme, bireyselleşme ve dijitalleşme süreçlerinin aile içi bellek pratiklerini nasıl dönüştürdüğünü sorgular. Aile, kültürel sürekliliğin pasif bir taşıyıcısı olmaktan ziyade, belleğin düzenlendiği, bastırıldığı, müzakere edildiği ve yeniden inşa edildiği dinamik bir alan olarak kavramsallaştırılır. Makale dört temel gerilim alanı tespit eder: unutma siyaseti, kuşaklar arası süreksizlikler, performatif bellek rolleri ve kolektif kimlikten bireysel kimliğe geçiş. Aile, geleneğin pasif bir taşıyıcısı olmaktan ziyade; müzakere, duygusal emek ve anlatı seçiciliğiyle biçimlenen bir bellek emeği alanı olarak yeniden tanımlanır. Çalışma, aileyi tutarlılık nostaljisiyle değil, parçalanmış ve çoğul modern toplumlarda belleğin ve kimliğin inşası için etik ve yansıtmalı bir alan olarak düşünmeyi önermektedir.

The Tension Between Tradition and Modernity in the Transmission of Identity and Memory within the Family

Öz

This article examines the role of the family in the transmission of identity and cultural memory within the context of late modernity through a qualitative and theoretical methodology. It explores how processes such as modernization, urbanization, individualization, and digitalization have reshaped familial memory practices. Rather than assuming the family to be a stable site of cultural continuity, the paper conceptualizes it as a contested and dynamic space where memory is curated, silenced, fragmented, or reinvented. The article identifies four major tensions: the politics of forgetting, intergenerational discontinuities, performative memory roles, and the shift from collective to individualized identity. It argues for a rethinking of the family not in nostalgic terms of coherence, but as a reflective and ethical space for memory and identity-making in fragmented, plural modern societies.
