Pamir’den Anadolu’ya Uzanan Kimlik İzleri: Türk Dünyasında Göç ve Kültürel Etkileşim

This study examines the communicative dimension of migration and cultural identity construction processes by taking the Kyrgyz community who migrated from Ulupamir village of Van to the Çubuk district of Ankara. The ethnographic method was used in the study with a qualitative research paradigm; data were collected through participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The data obtained were evaluated by thematic analysis. The findings show that migration is not only a physical change of location but also a process in which identity is reproduced through social solidarity networks, language-identity relationships, cultural transmission practices and symbolic spaces. Cultural elements such as komuz, aşık game, oral narratives, and the park ın the village keep the memory and identity of the community alive. The study reveals that migration is reconstructed through communication in the context of cultural continuity and transformation.
