While much of the international community regards the forced
deportation of Armenian subjects of the Ottoman Empire in 1915,
where approximately 800,000 to 1.5 million Armenians perished, as
genocide, the Turkish state still officially denies it. In Denial
of Violence, Fatma Muge Goecek seeks to decipher the roots of this
disavowal. To capture the negotiation of meaning that leads to
denial, Goecek undertook a qualitative analysis of 315 memoirs
published in Turkey from 1789 to 2009 in addition to numerous
secondary sources, journals, and newspapers. She argues that denial
is a multi-layered, historical process with four distinct yet
overlapping components: the structural elements of collective
violence and situated modernity on one side, and the emotional
elements of collective emotions and legitimating events on the
other. In the Turkish case, denial emerged through four stages: (i)
the initial imperial denial of the origins of the collective
violence committed against the Armenians commenced in 1789 and
continued until 1907; (ii) the Young Turk denial of the act of
violence lasted for a decade from 1908 to 1918; (iii) early
republican denial of the actors of violence took place from 1919 to
1973; and (iv) the late republican denial of the responsibility for
the collective violence started in 1974 and continues today. Denial
of Violence develops a novel theoretical, historical and
methodological framework to understanding what happened and why the
denial of collective violence against Armenians still persists
within Turkish state and society.
