The Islamic Intellectual Field in Turkey: Foundations of civilizationist thought and the predicament of Islamic decoloniality
This article introduces the Islamic Intellectual Field (IIF) as a heretofore unexplored site of political theorizing that emerged outside academia in the 1940s, evolving into a diverse network of journals and associations. It develops the concept ‘Islamic decoloniality’ to describe movements seeking to replace European epistemic paradigms with Islam-based systems of knowledge.

In February 1997, the National Security Council identified the headscarf as one of …
