From the moment humans become aware of their existence as a will, they have continuously asked themselves fundamental questions, always searching for the best and most satisfying answers that give meaning to their lives, both personally and socially. The question “Who am I?” has been the question of most truth-seekers, philosophers, prophets, and leaders of social movements. “Who am I?” might be one of the most important questions in the life of every ordinary person, regardless of color, ethnicity, gender, religion, sect, language, and culture. This question carries an even deeper meaning for individuals and social groups whose identity, existence, culture, and history are denied, or worse, face physical and cultural genocide. It becomes a catalyst for different kinds of action compared to others.
This begins at an individual level, becoming a driving force for self-questioning and later transforms into consciousness. In this process, these people consciously search for each other to reach the level of a self-defensive group. In doing so, they work together to build something new and prefigure a different form of life, one that stages their existence against the forces that deny them, both as individuals and as groups. The success of this process of question and answer depends on individuals being immersed in their historical memory. A memory that, with every change, both preserves the roots of its identity and renews itself, being reborn daily.
This process needs other motivations as well: consciousness from the depths of historical and social memory, courage and persistence despite obstacles, determination for all steps including self-sacrifice, the power to struggle against all ugliness, and commitment to promises with those who searched for each other in the initial steps and found each other within the circle of this search. Without extending this introduction further, I will discuss steps that indicate such a birth. Not just a physical birth, but the process of birthing a new identity, beyond that lack of identity and beyond the identity that the ideology and knowledge of those in power have imposed throughout history, especially on women. At stake, are processes of rebirth and self-construction.
