| dc.description.abstract | This thesis explores how digital technologies- specifically GIS mapping and digital archives- can
preserve and communicate refugee experiences on Chios Island by bridging historical and contem
porary migration narratives. Juxtaposing the Asia Minor refugee influx of 1922 with the arrival of
Syrian refugees between 2015 and 2019, the study employs a mixed-methods approach combin
ing archival research, oral history, visual analysis, and spatial storytelling. Grounded in cultural
history, digital heritage, and refugee studies, it critically engages with ethical and methodological
questions of representation. The research highlights how digital tools, when used with care, can re
veal patterns of displacement, resilience, and memory across time, while foregrounding the politics
of visibility and the importance of an ethics of remembrance. | |
