Sleep as in/dispensable deceleration for acceleration: The ambivalent relation between social acceleration and sleep patterns of the white-collar employees in İstanbul
Capitalism today tries to take advantage of sleep while reducing its duration. The expansion of flexible work regimes into other fields of life spreads the effects of social acceleration.

Surveillance of immigrants from Turkey in Germany: From the disciplinary society to the society of control
The surveillance of immigrants from Turkey in Germany functions on two seemingly contradictory levels: on the one hand, it de facto recognizes their inclusion in German society; on the other hand, it serves as an instrument to exclude them as '(un)suitable' foreign subjects within that society. Since 1961, this surveillance has slowly but surely changed its character. The aim of this article is to examine these changes through the lens of the dif…
Surveillance in Germany After 9/11
After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, surveillance pressure on immigrants increased considerably. The trend was the globalization of surveillance of the world population but especially of immigrants. 9/11 was not a turning point, however, since surveillance was already headed towards being globalized. The post-9/11 context accelerated this process. The economic and political developments that have taken place after 9/11 demonstrate t…
