Creating Meaning from Silence<\/span> and Emptiness<\/span> in Social Sciences<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This paper is about the process of fieldwork in sociological research that leads the researcher to think about the possibilities of listening to silence<\/span>. In other<\/span> words, it is about learning to hear the voices and traces of silence<\/span> and how this reshapes the research process and the interpretation<\/span> of the findings. Just as the subjects of study are not chosen from an infinite<\/span> and bottomless pool, but<\/span> from a repertoire of autobiographies, framed by the dynamics, constraints and possibilities of the conditions and period we are in, the methods of meaning-making in research processes are also determined by what is contained<\/span> in the subject we study. This article describes how, in a research project<\/span> that set out to understand the transition from empire to national state through İzmir, the focus of the research shifted to the fire of İzmir in 1922 and the ways in which this fire has been included in social memory, as the echoes of the unspoken and unwritten began to be heard in the material<\/span> provided by oral<\/span> history narratives and written sources.  From the gaps and silences encountered in the field, the emergence of the İzmir fire and the process of reshaping the research with the ecos trapped in the burned city are discussed. Arguing that there are constitutive gaps<\/em> in the social memory of the İzmir fire, this article underlines the cultural and social productivity of this constitutive gap<\/span>, which is shaped by silences, pauses, unwarranted changes in the narratives, and what is not told and written, from history books to newspaper articles. In conclusion, this discussion focuses on the role of silence<\/span> in the production of meaning in social sciences in general, emphasizing the importance of listening to silence<\/span> in reaching those conclusions rather than focusing on the findings and results of a research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
