Abstract: [eng] [cze]
This study is based on the relationship between the Kurds and the Left in Turkey between 1960s and 1990 in Turkey. The question of identity is discussed in terms of the continuities and ruptures in the discourse(s) of the Left in Turkey on the 'eastern question' and 'Kurdish (national) question' in this period. The main question of the research is how the Kurdish identity was constructed in the discourses of Yön, TKSP (Türkiye Kürdistanı Sosyalist Partisi - Turkish Kurdistan Socialist Party), and the PKK (Partiya Karkerên Kurdistanê - Kurdistan Workers' Party). Three sample publications/organizations representative of the leftist discourse in the period were selected to show the Left's treatment of the Kurdish question by using periodical publications, memoirs, clandestine organizational documents and through discourse analysis. Tato diplomová práce se zabývá vztahem mezi Kurdy a levicí v Turecku v období od 60. do 90. let 20. století. Otázka identity je zkoumána z hlediska souvislostí a zlomů v diskurzu(ech) turecké levice v tomto období, týkajících se 'východní otázky' a 'kurdské (národní) otázky'. Hlavním předmětem zkoumání je, jak byla kurdská identita vytvářena v diskurzech Yön, TKSP (Türkiye Kürdistanı Sosyalist Partisi - Socialistické strany tureckého Kurdistánu), a PKK (Partiya Karkerên Kurdistanê - Strana kurdských pracujícíh). Na základě tří vzorků, reprezentujících publikace/organizace levicového zaměření v dané době, je za použití periodických publikací, pamětí, utajovaných organizačních dokumentů a pomocí analýzy diskurzu ukázáno, jak se levice vypořádala s kurdskou otázkou.
