Abstract

Jihan, a former Kurdish guerilla fighter, struggles to gain medical treatment for the health problems she suffers as a result of war and trauma. The provision of care in Turkey has been motivated by ethno-political security concerns. Therefore, medical encounters are characterized by silences, not-knowing and of averting danger. Based on theories of ignorance, I explore how experiences of war and torture constitute dangerous knowledge that are difficult to share in a context, without a guaranteed therapeutic safe space. Patient and doctor navigate mistrust, silences and proxy-reasons in an attempt to deal with the traumata and violent experiences left unsaid.

吉汗曾是一名库尔德游击队员，由于战争和创伤，她的健康问题一直难以得到治疗。在土耳其，提供医疗服务是出于种族政治安全考虑。因此，医疗接触的特点是沉默、不知情和避免危险。基于 "无知 "理论，我探讨了战争和酷刑经历是如何构成危险知识的，这些知识在没有安全治疗空间保障的情况下是如何难以分享的。病人和医生在不信任、沉默和代理原因的引导下，试图处理没有说出来的创伤和暴力经历。
