Palgrave Studies in Globalization, Culture and Society traverses the boundaries between the humanities and the social sciences to critically explore the cultural and social dimensions of contemporary globalization processes. This entails looking at the way globalization unfolds through and within cultural and social practices, and identifying and understanding how it effects cultural and social change across the world. The series asks what, in its different guises and unequal diffusion, globalization is taken to be and do in and across specific locations, and what social, political and cultural forms and imaginations this makes possible or renders obsolete. A particular focus is the vital contribution made by different forms of the imagination (social, cultural, popular) to the conception, experience and critique of contemporary globalization. Palgrave Studies in Globalization, Culture and Society is committed to addressing globalization across cultural contexts (western and non-western) through interdisciplinary, theoretically driven scholarship that is empirically grounded in detailed case studies and close analyses. Within the scope outlined above, we invite junior and senior scholars to submit proposals for monographs, edited volumes and the Palgrave Pivot format.
This article turns towards the legacy of the Greco-Turkish War (1919‐22) in contemporary Greek culture. Drawing on the conceptual frameworks of postmemory and intergenerational transmission of trauma, it examines the Greek graphic novel Aivali by Soloup (2014, translated
into English in 2019) in order to discuss aesthetics and practices set in motion by the memory of Asia Minor, when the relay of remembrance reaches the third generation. The article demonstrates how the fragments of memories that the grandchildren of Asia Minor refugees inherited from their
ancestors find their way into comics panels, through which those memories are reassembled into a public visual archive. At the same time, the graphic novel also performs a reconstitution of the Greek literary canon, when the works of Greek and Turkish writers are called upon to fill in the
gaps in the family story. Ultimately, it is argued that affective connections fostered through reading Aivali ensure that memory can travel across time and lead to new encounters, bringing back reminiscences of Asia Minor afresh to communities’ collective imagination.
What cultural, historical, institutional, and legal paradigms have the Greco-Turkish War and Population Exchange bequeathed to national and transnational practices of border-making, border-crossing, and heritage-claiming over the past century, and how have subsequent experiences reshaped the original paradigm? We approach this question through four distinct categories: namely, the historical trajectory of refugee identity and its different political and cultural legacies in Greece and Turkey; the racialization of religion, which has helped to rewrite the boundaries of citizenship and belonging over the past century; the paradigm of peacekeeping by partition that the Population Exchange handed down to the international diplomatic norms of subsequent decades, along with the widespread regime of unseeing on which it depends; and, finally, memory practices that establish templates for remembering refugee pasts as well as making sense of contemporary crises.
