Özet:

One of the inevitable consequences of the "asymmetrical" encounter of identities is marginalization. Considering that national identity is constructed based on a dialectic of inclusion and exclusion, it is inevitable that the dimension of marginalization will be more substantial when a national identity that has made the geography as homeland and gained institutionalization encounters another national identity that does not "belong" to this homeland. Because of these reasons, a kind of “competent-subordinate” relationship comes to light. The marginalized identity begins to become "problematic" within the power relations created by this situation. This will inevitably have an impact on those who belong to the marginalized identity regarding their identities. In this study, how the Syrians who immigrated to Turkey due to the civil war and who are relatively “successful” in Gaziantep today relate to their own national identities as they fall into a secondary position against the inhabited and dominant national identity and are marginalized, and in this context, what kind of message is given to the “competent” subject have been discussed. As a result, it has been determined that “some” Syrians tend to make intra-identity marginalization. This is a strategy of being accepted by the "competent" subject. The main discussion of this study is about the issue that tends to make intra-identity marginalization.
