La double contrainte: Piégés entre néolibéralisme et autoritarisme, les universitaires de Turquie politisent la liberté
Cet article étudie les pratiques anciennes et contemporaines qui restreignent les libertés académiques en Turquie. Sans distinguer les contextes dits « libéraux » des contextes « illibéraux », il impute le déclin global de l'université et de l'intellectuel public à la néolibéralisation de l'enseignement supérieur, qui n'épargne pas les pays démocratiques. Les dimensions politiques de la répression post-1980 en Turquie doivent être analysées en ga…
The Struggle for Academic Freedom in an Age of Post-truth
This essay situates the struggle for academic freedom and university autonomy at Boğaziçi University within the broader framework of post-truth. Post-truth is defined as a disinvestment from long-established norms regulating what counts as true, without introducing new criteria in their place. As such, it is a state of constant disorientation. The main argument is that post-truth has a material power basis: it is neither an intellectual problem n…

Exploratory Notes on the Origins of New Fascisms
This essay interrogates whether existent analytical tools remain adequate to identify and assess what is perceived as the revival of fascistic tendencies today, ultimately arguing that they are not. Fascism cannot be expected to assume the same forms it did a century ago. Class structures, resource distribution schemes, communication potentials, and modes of belonging and exclusion have undergone significant changes. To determine which of the tra…

Vulnerability in Resistance
Vulnerability and resistance have often been seen as opposites, with the assumption that vulnerability requires protection and the strengthening of paternalistic power at the expense of collective resistance. Focusing on political movements and cultural practices in different global locations, including Turkey, Palestine, France, and the former Yugoslavia, the contributors to Vulnerability in Resistance articulate an understanding of the role of …
The Kurdish Issue in Turkey: A Spatial Perspective
Au-delà de la violence institutionnelle et insurrectionnelle: Balibar, Arendt et l’ agon
Étienne Balibar se réfère à l’idée arendtienne de la citoyenneté pour montrer que la démocratie se construit nécessairement au travers d’une aporie. D’une part, la démocratie évoque l’idéal isonomique de l’égalité pour fonder la communauté ; d’autre part, elle inscrit la différence dans l’éventualité d’une contestation permanente des principes unificateurs. Ce que je propose, c’est de contribuer à développer le dialogue entre É. Balibar et Hannah…

The spatial (re)production of the Kurdish issue: Multiple and contradicting trajectories—introduction
Analysis of the Kurdish issue from a spatial perspective is not new, but spatial analyses are still relatively scarce. More often than not, Kurdish studies consist of time-centred work that represe

Politics of place/space: The spatial dynamics of the Kurdish and Zapatista movements
This paper explores two examples of collective action, the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, Mexico, and the Kurdish movement in Turkey, by focusing on how these movements constructed two particular places, Diyarbakir and Chiapas, after the armed conflict subsided. My first aim is to show how this place-making has affected the discourses and practices of these movements. I argue that place-making is not only about locality or physical setting, but a…
The search for a new ground. Interview with Zeynep Gambetti
Features. I spent my time going to the movies, shows, the art exhibitions, etc. But I slowly got a sense of what was happening in Turkey. These were the years when the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party) was actually starting to make an impact as a political actor. Journalism made me take up an interest in politics and urged me to go back to Boazii to do
The Agent Is the Void! From the Subjected Subject to the Subject of Action
This article pinpoints two lacunae – freedom and the subject of action – in post-structuralist epistemology and proposes to rethink agency through Hannah Arendt’s theory of action. It is argued that, given the sense of disorientation in theoretical and political practices, it is all the more important to re-conceptualize the singularity or uniqueness of agents as initiators of social change
The Conflictual (Trans)formation of the Public Sphere in Urban Space: The Case of Diyarbakır
In the East, understanding is a surreptitious shroud.”Kemal Varol“Men come into existence through their struggles”This study aims to contribute to efforts to understand how redress occurs in local contexts impaired by armed conflict. Its particular focus is on events, dynamics and forms of relationality that (re)create public spheres on a local level. It takes the city of Diyarbakır, the largest in Southeastern Turkey, as the vantage point from w…
