Abstract
This article explores a forcible, wartime transfer of women and minors from one ethnic group to another and its partial reversal after the war. The author analyzes the historical conditions that enabled the original transfer, and then the circumstances that shaped the reverse transfer. The setting is Istanbul during and immediately after World War I, and the protagonists are various influential agents connected to the Ottoman Turkish state and to the Armenian Patriarchate. The absence and subsequent involvement of European Great Powers determines the broader, shifting context. The narrative follows the bodies of women and children, who were the subjects of the protagonists’ discourses and the objects of their policies. The study connects two processes involved: the wartime integration of Armenian women and children into Muslim settings, and postwar Armenian attempts to rescue, reintegrate, and redistribute them. The author explains why and how the Armenian vorpahavak (gathering of orphans and widows) worked as it did, and situates it comparatively with similar events. She highlights its uniqueness and the theoretical possibilities that it offers toward understanding why and how children and reproduction matter so much to collectivities in crisis.
