In my research, I am concerned with the relationship between political violence, memory, and mobility through the case of political exiles from Turkey who had to flee after the 1980 military coup in Turkey. Relying theoretically on the memory literature, the question I pursue is how a traumatic past marked by political violence, displacement, and exile is remembered and interpreted today. I also focus on the relationship between memory and mobility by examining how these exiles' memories of trauma and violence moved into a new space and interrelated with a new memory culture.
