| Preliminary scope of work in English |
| Let it be in the form of nostalgia or national trauma, Azerbaijani people remember life under the soviet rule. Taking lack of literature in this field into consideration, the topic is worth researching.
While formulating research questions, I plan to focus more on neutrality - the formation of national identity, collective memory and sociology of the past. The research objectives are following: -What is the distinction between memory and history? -How is the national and cultural identity of Azerbaijani shaped? -What do Azerbaijani women of transition remember of the past? -To what extent do these indivdiual and collective memories reflect reality? The theoretical framework of the thesis is based on the interdependency of history, memory and identity. The memory of the past shapes who we are today. Conversely, Halbwachs notes that memory is determined by an identity that is already well-established. In this sense, the thesis will analyse history-memory-identity relation in the context of post-soviet transformation in Azerbaijan though the lenses of women. |
