description Ever since Murathan Mungan placed his hometown of Mardin at the heart of his literary works at the beginning of the 1980s, many writers from Turkey Kurdistan have in turn, and in a manner that has become increasingly evident in the last few years, integrated the region into their works. Denied legal existence, this “absent place” so described by Şener Özmen, has claimed a presence in literary space despite stringent historical realities, including the ban on the Kurdish language and culture and the negation of the Armenian genocide. This article discusses the relationships between language and territory in the works of writers such as Murat Özyaşar or Ayhan Geçgin, the venture on mythography of space in the works of authors such as Mungan, Özyaşar, Özmen or Kemal Varol, and treatment of borders, cities and mountains as geographemes.
