Abstract
Abstract:
This essay is an attempt to rethink the (im)possibility of Ottoman-Armenian writer Hagop Mintzuri's autobiography after his life was biopoliticized in the nation-forming period of Turkey. Focusing on his memoir that gives an account for his stay in Istanbul before and after the Armenian Genocide in 1915, this essay probes the biopolitical limits operating not just on this particular self-narrative but also on the genre of autobiography.
