Abstract
This chapter studies the ways in which the legacy of the Sivas massacre is negotiated through the built environment. On 2 July 1993, hundreds of rioters stormed the streets of Sivas, Turkey, in protest against a culture festival and its participants. They ultimately set ablaze the Madımak Hotel where the festival’s guests were accommodated. Thirty-three of the guests died as a result. The site of the arson attack has since hosted commemorative demonstrations attended by thousands who have demanded that the state turn the site into a memorial museum. While the demand has yet to be met, the pressure it exerted led to the state’s expropriation of the hotel in late 2010, and to the building’s subsequent transformation into the Science and Culture Center. Building on in situ research and archival work, this chapter examines both the commemorative gatherings that take place annually and the consequences of the site’s transformation into the Science and Culture Center. In so doing, it aims to attend to the divergences between how different actors negotiate the attack. The chapter concludes that these divergences have to do more with conflicting experiences of historical time, than with a diametrical opposition between remembering and forgetting.
