Abstract

This research is a study about the creative process of a postmemory work in the memory transmitting process from the first generation to the next generation and the important role of gender in the transmission process, and the perspective of gender in postmemory’s work. The purpose of this research is to expose Dmetri Kakmi's traumatic memory transmission structure in his novel "Motherland" and to take a look at genderization in traumatic impressions that emerged in his work. The researcher used Postmemory theory initiated by Marianne Hirsch to perceive 1) the transmission memory and the role of gender in Dmetri Kakmi's "Motherland" novel;  and 2) the genderization process in that novel, and the results of this research: 1) Mother Land the novel is formed by two transmissions, familial transmission from the writer's family that led the writer to having an imagination of his late grandfather, and affiliative transmission. In the transmission process,  gender plays a key role in choosing who and what narration to be told to post-generation; 2) The gender roles in the "Motherland" novel can be found from such varied sources such as infantilized to the Greeks, and hyper-masculinized to the Turks as icon of destruction.
