Mission Hills Calif. Ararat-Eskijian Museum, National Association for

present an illustrated talk by Dr. Fatma Muge Gocek Professor of
Sociology and Women's Studies, University of Michigan 'Denial of
Violence: Ottoman Past, Turkish Present, and Collective Violence
Against the Armenians'.
The event is on March 08, 2015, 4 PM Ararat-Eskijian Museum/Sheen Chapel,
15105 Mission Hills Road, Mission Hills CA 91345
In this talk based on her recently published book, Professor Fatma
Müge Göçek will delve into the roots of Turkey's denial of the
Armenian Genocide and explain why it still persists. Prof. Göçek will
specifically focus on the denial of collective violence committed
against Armenians throughout Ottoman and Turkish history,
demonstrating its occurrence many times before 1915. Having
qualitatively analyzed 315 memoirs published in Turkey from 1789 to
2009 in addition to numerous secondary sources, journals, and
newspapers, she reveals that denial is a multi-layered, historical
process with four distinct yet overlapping components: the structural
elements of collective violence and modernity on one side, and the
emotional elements of collective consensus and legitimating events on
the other. In the Turkish case, denial emerged through four stages,
beginning with the imperial denial of the origins of collective
violence committed against Armenians that commenced in 1789 and
continued until 1907, followed by the Young Turk denial of violence
lasting for a decade from 1908 to 1918, then an early republican
denial taking place from 1919 to 1973, and culminating with the late
republican denial of the responsibility for the collective violence
started in 1974, which continues to this day.
