本文追踪了土耳其的现代性和发展被构成为乡村与城市之间的对立的轨迹。尽管方式相反，两者都激发了现代化/发展理想，并构成了民族主义话语的真正核心。与此同时，人口减少、资本积累水平低、就业机会有限的小城镇却被忽视了。它们被描述为具有相同本质的不相关的地方，对故事没有任何补充。因此，本文分析了民国历史如何被建构为西方与东方、落后与进步、现代与非现代之间的对抗叙事。接下来是对聚集在这些二元系统两侧的省级地方和人民如何被排除在外、沉默或边缘化的探索。
This article follows the trajectories by which modernity and development in Turkey have been constituted as an antagonism between villages and cities. Both inspired, albeit in opposing ways, modernising/ developmental ideals, and constituted the true locus of nationalist discourses. Meanwhile, small towns with shrinking populations, low‐level capital accumulation and limited jobs have been left invisible. They have been depicted as irrelevant places of the same essence, which had nothing to add to the story. As such, the article is an analysis of how the Republican history is constructed as a narrative of an antagonism between the West and the East, backwardness and progress, modern and non‐modern. What follows is an exploration of how provincial places and people, which are lumped together on either side of these binaries, are left out, silenced or marginalized.
