Integration Am Rande Der Gesellschaft Deutsche Frauen Als ‘lebensabschnittspartnerinnen’ Türkischer Gastarbeiter
German politics and society have gone no further than
seeing the so-called "guest workers," especially the first generation
immigrants from Turkey, as a crowd of just workers and foreigners. Thus, the
perspectives and mobility experiences of individuals representing this
generation have been almost never taken into consideration - even in the
literature. Based on this, German immigration policy does not need to put into
effect any integration program for guest workers, and it also prevents them
from participating in German society outside of their designated roles. In the study, the reaction of Turkish guest workers
against this discriminatory and ignoring strategy of the majority society is
conceptualized with Hakim Bey's (1994) Temporary Autonomous Zone (TAZ) model. Temporary Autonomous Zone
is the name of a socio-political tactic, in which temporary areas are created
to elude and evade official control structures. According to this, the
Temporary Autonomous Zone of Turkish guest workers is like an "uprising",
a "guerrilla operation", that liberates an area (spatially,
temporally or imaginary) without directly clashing with the state. With this
tactic, guest workers a) strengthened their transnational networks by building
their religious-cultural structures based on their country of origin, and at
the end of this attempt, they became the pioneers of transnationalization
(transmigration); b) they found an alternative method of participating in
German society by establishing temproary romantic relationships with german women, but also using them as
informal adaptation aids. Through this process,
the guest workers appeared to all eyes that they were human beings, not an
anonymous mass. In the research based on qualitative narrative
research technique, the relationships of Turkish guest workers living in
Germany with German women were centered. In this context, the love stories of
the 6 guest workers interviewed in the 1960s and 70s were examined. The
relationships in question were examined under the categories of "forms of
occurrence", "forms of maintenance", "forms of
legitimization" and "forms of concealment". This research aims, above all, to make visible and
appreciate the life and adaptation success of the first generation and their
families under various difficulties.
