Based on historical as well as ethnographic data, this thesis intends to deconstruct the communitarian identity discourse of the faithful and argues that what is now called contemporary Syrian Orthodox identity in the Turkish context has been built over a long period of time and through continuous interactions with surrounding identities, i.e., Muslim, Kurdish, Armenian, Latin Catholic and Protestant Turkish identities. This identity is constructed much by contact, opposition and mimicry in relation to the dominant Turkish national identity, other Christian identities and the majority Muslim identity. An additional factor is the influence of Assyrian nationalism spread by transnational networks as a result of the radical expansion of the movement of people and technological developments driven by the process of globalization. In this thesis, it’s also suggested that contemporary Syriac identity no longer has a monolithic aspect characterized by a traditional and rural mentality. Within a diversified metropolis and diasporic terrain like Istanbul marked by a multiplicity of cultures, one can see among the faithful the emergence of new bricolages in religious terms as well as the different modalities of believing, which is linked to a modernity finding its expression in individualism and transnationality.
