- Abstract
This study aims to analyze the boundary phenomenon from the perspective of comparative historical sociology and to analyze the boundaries as the spatial projection of the social memory. For this purpose, interviews were conducted via the oral history method with 7 people (5 men and 2 women) over 60 years old who lived in Sarp village situated in Turkey-Georgia border area. On the basis of interviews, the history of the border was compared through three different periods (from 1921 to 1988 when the border was closed, the year 1988 as the moment of the opening of the border and the period until today). As a result of these comparisons it was determined that the first period can be symbolized as social resetting by means of power, authority and ideology; the second period was symbolizing the rise of sociality as overcoming the threshold, breaking the wall and crossing the border and the third period can be said to symbolize a social restructuring on the basis of the migration, family, work-life and gender imaginations. After all the conclusion obtained from this research was that moving from the memories of the inhabitants of the border, this space created different social-spatial relations and shaped different identity patterns throughout its distinct historical periods.
