This article examines how Armenian citizens of Turkey employ names and naming strategies in their everyday life in order to navigate a nationalist social landscape. Studies of nationalist politics in everyday life have been particularly successful in demonstrating how nationalism is experienced and reproduced through the consumption of national symbols and rituals. What remains relatively glossed over in these accounts are the individuals’ constant and dynamic engagements with nationalist politics not only through national symbols and rituals but also through everyday social practices with fellow citizens. The present study seeks to capture and analyze this latter, relatively understudied, aspect. In doing so, the discussion reveals how individuals use different name strategies in order to fend off shame and humiliation as well as inhibit threats to status advancement. Overall, the following narrative moves beyond a demonstration of the functionality of nationalism as a source of unity and solidarity. Instead, it reveals the ways in which nationalist politics and minorities’ responses align, diverge and/or conflict on the ground.

在排斥的民族主义景观中导航:土耳其的亚美尼亚公民和命名政治

本文探讨了土耳其的亚美尼亚公民如何在日常生活中使用名字和命名策略,以适应民族主义的社会格局。日常生活中的民族主义政治研究特别成功地展示了民族主义是如何通过民族符号和仪式的消费来体验和复制的。在这些描述中仍然相对被掩盖的是,个人不仅通过国家象征和仪式,而且通过与同胞的日常社会实践,不断和动态地参与民族主义政治。本研究旨在捕捉和分析后一个相对未充分研究的方面。在这样做,讨论揭示了个人如何使用不同的命名策略来抵御羞辱和屈辱,并抑制对地位提升的威胁。总的来说,以下叙述超越了民族主义作为团结和团结之源的功能的展示。相反,它揭示了民族主义政治和少数群体的反应在实地一致、分歧和/或冲突的方式。
