Edward Joris: Kitalar ve Ideolojiler Arasinda Sikişip Kalmak
Author
Abstract
This chapter from the volume 'Sultan'ı Öldürmek II. Abdülhamid’e Yapılan Suikast Girişiminin Uluslararası Tarihi (1905)' describes the ‘world according to Edward Joris’. This Flemish anarchist with modest roots and low self-esteem migrated to Istanbul in search of work and adventure. He became engaged in the Armenian Question and eventually in a terrorist plot against sultan Abdülhamid II. Although he was sentenced to death, he was released after two years of prison. This petite biographie addresses two central contradictions of Joris’s character: How does a flamingant socialist turn terrorist? And how does an internationalist deal with nationalism? The role and importance of transcultural personal encounters and experiences, as well as individual character traits, come to the fore in this chapter.
