This paper looks into the lives of displaced people and their material bonds with the past while waiting for justice during exceptional times in Diyarbakir, Turkey’s Kurdistan. Diyarbakir is known for its central location in the Kurdish conflict in Turkey for many decades. In August 2015, the old city of Diyarbakir called Sur joined other resisting cities and districts in the Kurdish region of Turkey, where Kurdish militants built barricades all around their controlled neighbourhoods against the state’s violent attacks and declared autonomy. Months after the beginning of the resistance, the Turkish state managed to take back control of Sur after heavy clashes between Turkish security forces and Kurdish militants. All the resisting neighbourhoods of Sur were razed to the ground, and close to 24,000 residents were displaced. Since then, a massive urban transformation project for Sur has been in the making. The everyday survival of the displaced people from Sur depends on the ways they negotiate with the state in a long process of waiting. Bringing together different accounts of waiting, I intend to shed light on temporal dimensions of forced displacement embedded in the remnants of the past and shaped by present history of subjugation and state violence.

在残余中等待正义：迪亚巴克尔的城市发展、流离失所和抵抗

本文探讨了在土耳其库尔德斯坦迪亚巴克尔的特殊时期，流离失所者在等待正义期间的生活及其与过去的物质联系。几十年来，迪亚巴克尔以其在土耳其库尔德冲突中的中心位置而闻名。2015 年 8 月，称为苏尔的迪亚巴克尔老城与土耳其库尔德地区的其他抵抗城市和地区一道，库尔德武装分子在他们控制的街区周围建立了路障，以抵抗国家的暴力袭击，并宣布自治。抵抗开始数月后，土耳其安全部队与库尔德武装分子发生激烈冲突后，土耳其政府设法夺回了苏尔的控制权。苏尔所有抵抗的社区都被夷为平地，近 24,000 名居民流离失所。自那以后，一项针对苏尔的大规模城市改造项目正在酝酿之中。苏尔流离失所者的日常生存取决于他们在漫长的等待过程中与国家谈判的方式。将不同的等待描述结合在一起，我打算阐明嵌入在过去的残余中并由当前的征服和国家暴力历史所塑造的被迫流离失所的时间维度。
