ABSTRACT

This article explores local people’s attitudes toward the naturalization of the Syrian refugees in Turkey. Based upon fieldwork data, I explored the way the people of Bolu construct Syrian refugees as the “Other” on the grounds of citizenship and the way these narratives reproduce a nationalistic discourse in Turkey. The results indicated that the people reject granting citizenship for ideological reasons and on the grounds of a subjective nationalistic understanding of nation-state membership. Simultaneously, extending such citizenship rights as state welfare (healthcare and education) was seen as a social right or courtesy toward their Muslim neighbors.

土耳其民族主义和公民身份之间的叙利亚难民

摘要

本文探讨了当地人对土耳其叙利亚难民归化的态度。根据实地调查数据，我探讨了博卢人以公民身份为由将叙利亚难民构建为“他者”的方式，以及这些叙述在土耳其再现民族主义话语的方式。结果表明，人们出于意识形态原因和对民族国家成员资格的主观民族主义理解而拒绝授予公民身份。同时，扩大国家福利（医疗保健和教育）等公民权利被视为对穆斯林邻居的社会权利或礼貌。
