Cultural Development and the Question of Responsibility A Reading of Cultural Policy Below and the Genealogy of "Everything Kurdish is Good"
Main Article Content
Abstract
The following lines attempt to establish themselves on a question that is epistemological and related also to the historical development of a society. It is often said that the Kurdish society in South Kurdistan has not seen much cultural development since the uprising. If we answer affirmatively this hypothesis, we must immediately ask ourselves where this underdevelopment comes from. What is the reason? Could the unfavorable political situation, especially the role of political officials, be the cause of this problem? Alternatively, it can be said too that it is mostly the insufficiency of cultural agencies or the lack of cultural activities that have created this situation. In this study, we avoid this attitude and try to show that both political and cultural institutions share the development of a knowledge that we consider to be the major cause of cultural underdevelopment in South Kurdistan. The nature of the development of discourse has historically played a significant role in what we call “the discourse of extinction and the discourse of survival”. Based on a combined method of historical development and applied epistemology, this effort first goes through the definition of culture. Then, by analyzing this discourse, a genealogy of the concept of “whatever is Kurdish is good” will be established.
