Description
Summary:The processes through which urban centers and rural peripheries influence each other reach beyond landscapes and town borders into something deeper and more culturally substantial. Over the past decade, a rural village in Turkey has been re-constructing itself to represent a nostalgic historical era that is part of the local natural landscape that draws in urban tourists from the national capital. The process through which the villagers re-constructed the past and commoditized parts of it is an interesting case in that the villagers dispelled any fears of backwardness in their historical situated-ness via their selective process. This allayed fears and legitimized the trip for urban city-dwellers. While the tensions between the village and the city are not essentially ethnic but socio-economic and class-based in Turkey, the village, as it now stands, allows a space and a place for both urban and rural Turks to play with and re-negotiate their collective historical consciousness. Perhaps this play and interaction leads to the valuation of traditional ways in a positive instead of negative light.cultural transformation, rural tourism, natural landscapes, identity reconfiguration, turkish villages
