LITERATURE REVIEW

ARTICLE 1: ÖTEKİLESTİRME VE İŞLEVLERİ

There are lots of definitions about the concept of ‘other’.

In the most rational way, ‘other’ is the personal definition of who is

not ‘us’.

The most favored function of ‘other’ is that the concept of other is

the key that can open many doors.

That’s why it is important to study about the concept of ‘other’.

Özçalık, Sevil (2009).” ötekileştirme ve işlevleri”. http://www.daplatform.com/images/otekilesme%20ve%20islevleri.pdf

Every difference like religion,gender,education,skin color can be an issue for

othering.

Generalizations such as “Every black person is aggressive” , “all European act

immorally” are very crucial reasons of why there is othering.

Most people do not accept that generalizations are indeed limited with time and

place. This is one of the problems about generalisations.

For instance; a German person mostly think about a couple of Turkish people’s

behaviour are same for all Turkish people.

ARTICLE 2: ‘BİZ’LİK, ‘ÖTEKİ’LİK, ÖTEKİLEŞTİRME VE AYRIMCILIK

BRAINSTORMING

WHAT IS OTHERING?

o Removing from a person or a group of people due to

seeing as ‘other’, labelling them as bad amd harmful and

trying to destroy these ‘others’ or to assimilate them..

o In order to live in peace, we should not see anyone as

‘other’ and not think they are bad. We can only create

peace in such a tolerant culture.

OTHERING PEOPLEWe dont forget every person is a complex bundle of emotions, ideas,

motivations, reflexes, priorities, and many other subtle aspects

It’s easier to dismiss them as being in some way less human, and less

worthy of respect and dignity, than we are.

Considered as minorities in Turkey are exposed to some marginalized communities .

Minorities live among us with lifestyles and traditions, which make them different in our evaluation of these features has caused them to other.

InTurkey some of the minorities are Kurds who constıtute the largest stateless nation in the Middle East.

People live ın Tukey who feel themselves as other out of the Kurds are describes as Türk.

Since these people want to feel unsure in tehir living area.

When they are forced to show that they are different,it may lead to split personality.

With this treaty anyone other than Muslims are Turkish and their religion was considered as Islam.

As seen in tis case people are deprived of their liberty.

Prof. Dr. Binnaz Toprak bir süre önce kamuyla paylaştığı “Türkiye’de Farklı Olmak” adlı araştırmasına ilişkin bilgileri paylaştığı konuşmasında, özellikle Anadolu’da AKP hükümeti yüzünden kamu kurumlarında, Alevi ve Romanların çalışmasına izin verilmediğini, bu kişilerin “ötekileştirildiklerini” söyledi.(MİLLİYET - GÜLAY FIRAT / İstanbul - 26.4.2009)

RACISM

Racism is the most extreme othering . Racism does not occurs suddenly ,it occurs in a period of time.

In Turkey racism and ethnic discrimination are prevalent in its society and throughout its history. This racism and ethnic discrimination is also institutional against the non-Muslim and non-Sunni minorities.

This appears mainly in the form of negative attitudes and actions by Turks towards people who are not considered ethnically Turkish.

Such discrimination is predominately towards non-Muslim minorities such as Greeks, Armenians, Assyrians, and others, as well as hostility towards various interpretations of Islam such as Alevis, Sufis, and other Muslim non-Turks such as Kurds.

o The Topic is decided with matrix diagram is human, so we have covered some solutions for it.

o Being tolerant is crucial to fight with othering.Families and teachers have great responsibility in this situation.They have to get a series of seminars about othering and being tolerant.These seminars will be beneficial for parents in order to reach their children and treat them.

OUR SUGGESTIONS

o Inorder to overcome othering people have to get rid of the structure of class society.Besides, people need to perceive the problem of othering as an international responsibility.

o Individual has to identify and understand and accept himself/herself, after that he/she can accept and understand others realities.

o People realize that differences are cultural beauties.In order to breakdown the prejudices,families and teachers must be educated.Government support symposiums,forums and social debate to educate those families and teachers about othering.

o With those, othering will be decrease and it can provide a stable environment
