| مستخلص: |
This article is concerned with the culture of Turkish Cypriots in Britain, and at the same time with the problems of finding an adequate theoretical language to theorise those experiences. First, it seeks to bring out the particularity of Turkish-Cypriot culture, located as it is between British, Cypriot and Turkish reference points. We argue that this is a culture that is distinctively, and often uncomfortably, placed between national and transnational conditions of existence. The article looks particularly at the experiences of Turkish-Cypriot women, seeking to explore their sense of cultural positioning as they live their lives in London. In its more theoretical sections, the article seeks to work against the national discursive frame of community and identity that is generally used to describe Turkish-Cypriot culture, suggesting instead an alternative approach that shifts from identity to experience and thinking about experiences.
