OUR CREATIVE EXILE Engin Erkiner
Creative exile is considered a new concept. Although there are many examples in history, the reason why this concept is new is that exile has been considered together with depression, troubles and lack of communication for years. There are these in exile, but there is another aspect: the production of exiles on different subjects…
When we look at the exile of the Turkish people after 1971 and especially after 1980, there are a large number of producers. name is encountered. Doğan Özgüden and İnci Tuğsavul's productivity began after 1971, while their massive The creative exile that can be said is after 1980.
Server Tanilli, Yusuf Ziya Bahadanlı, Fakir Baykurt , Doğan Akhanlı, Gökhan Harmandalıoğlu, Yılmaz Güney, Oya Baydar, Demir Özlü, Dursun Akçam, Nihat Behram, Ataol Behramoğlu, Abdülkadir Konuk are the first names that come to my mind. This list is incomplete and other names may be added.
Two questions should be asked here.
First; Why was this productivity and creative exile in exiles from Turkey noticed so late?
The phenomenon of exile came to our agenda late. Even an organization like the European Assembly of Exiles is ten years old. It was established 34 years after September 12, 1980. For years, Turkey was seen as the main field of activity of the exiles, and the exposure of the regime there was at the forefront.It was not taken into consideration that other things could be done in exile other than exposure.
Secondly; The exiles from Turkey left one Turkey and came to another. In the early 1980s, there were about three years in European countries, mostly in West Germany. (0, 0, 0);">million people from Turkey were alive. The presence of this mass encouragedto produce shoots. There was a mass of buyers in European countries for what he produced. Various political views had worked within this audience for years; In other words, even if this mass was viewed only from the leftside, it was not politically empty.
30 to the protest march on the first anniversary of September 12 in Frankfurt, GermanyThe participation of thousands of people is an important indicator in this regard. The exact number cannot be given, but the majority of the participantswere not exiles, they were people with Turkish passports.
The situation of exiles from other countries, such as Chileans in the Netherlands, was very different. At first they had language problems and they did not come to a large audience from their country.
The surprising thing is that we realized our creative exile too late. Those who understand are still few and the subject is waiting to be covered in detail.
