title = "Memory, Conviviality and Coexistence: Negotiating Class Differences in Burgazadasi, Istanbul",
abstract = "The article explores the narratives and memories of past diversity and current practices of conviviality to investigate how class, lifestyle and tastes affect the daily interactions between people belonging to different ethno-religious backgrounds. This chapter critiques {\textquoteleft}coexistence{\textquoteright} as a concept that postulates cohesion and conflict as rooted in ethnic and religious differences. It suggests {\textquoteleft}conviviality{\textquoteright} as the production of space, by arguing that hard times, tensions as well as sensorial pleasures produce a sense of belonging in a place, through shared ways of living. While memories of {\textquoteleft}coexistence{\textquoteright} emphasize the fragmentation of people into ethnic and religious groups as a consequence of the homogenization process in the post-Ottoman Turkish context, bitter sweet memories of conviviality create a sense of belonging to Burgaz.",
