Governing the private scales of families and homes: Visiting nurses and Turkey's mobilization of consumptive care
Of hovels and homes: Consumption, class, and domestic space in early republican Turkey
In histories of preventing and treating tuberculosis, many physicians came to prioritize the place and role of the home by the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This was as true in the West as it was in the late Ottoman Empire. Also common, practices of scapegoating the poor and other marginalized populations as TB's sources and carriers were pervasive. In this article, we examine how ideas of health, TB, and home converged to accent…

Erasing the place of dissent: Inscriptions and eliminations of Gezi Park graffiti
Regarded commonly and policed routinely as disamenity and vandalism, graffiti nonetheless provide vital accounts of identity, territoriality and contestation. Of proportionate consequence, however, are the means by which societies and states act to deter and remove graffiti and how these efforts correspond with other projects to police a population, activism and dissidence, and public discourse. During and after the Gezi Park protests of 2013, Tu…
Therapeutic landscapes and nationalism: Turkey and the curative waters of Kemalism
Hypothesised as a promising research concern for medical geographers, the therapeutic landscape concept promised to bridge divides between methods and approaches in humanistic, structural, and critical geographies. Despite early reference to ideology and the topic’s potential, engagements with political ideas and identity politics remain underdeveloped. Analysing a range of historical sources, this article examines the therapeutic landscapes of e…
Beyond Mahan and Mackinder: Situating Geography and Critical Geopolitics in Middle East Studies
Considering geography's potential to inform research and teaching in Middle East studies, it is necessary to acknowledge that the discipline's full potential in the United States—despite many accomplishments in recent decades—is yet to be realized. In American higher education, this lack of engagement always seemed to me a consequence of at least four factors in both fields’ institutional and disciplinary histories. As a matter of self-examinatio…
Not just eliminating the mosquito but draining the swamp”: A critical geopolitics of Turkish Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction and Turkey's approach to illicit drugs
A geopolitics of drinking: Debating the place of alcohol in early republican Turkey
From rakı to ayran: Regulating the place and practice of drinking in Turkey
Despite religious proscriptions and practices, currents of alcohol never wholly ceased in Ottoman or Republican Turkey. Rather, Anatolian history overflows with examples of regulated consumption – and futile schemes for prohibition. Recently, prohibitionist discourse returned amid regulatory initiatives and in ways reifying secular-Islamist divides. Integral to permutations in policy implementation, even schemes of socio-spatial control arose tha…
Where nothing was before”: (Re)producing population and place in Ghana's Volta River Project
Significant infrastructural projects, and especially large hydroelectric dams, were envisioned and deployed by postcolonial governments to promote particular visions of industrialization, agriculture, democracy, and modernity. Newly independent states sought to annihilate formerly so-called backward and primitive landscapes and populations alike, promising to re-create both places and people as rational, economically productive entities. In this …
Draining an Anatolian desert: Overcoming water, wetlands, and malaria in early republican Ankara
Past scholarship on the origins of Turkey's forward capital has contributed both to insightful critical analysis of modernity, nationalism, and urbanization in the republic but also to a tradition of work that is too often quite narrow in conceptualization and shallow in historical depth. In this article, I address the promise and the shortcomings of this tradition by incorporating both views of nature and novel primary documents from the city's …

Protecting the national body’: Regulating the practice and the place of prostitution in early republican Turkey
In the formative years of the Turkish Republic, the regulation of prostitution was geared toward biopolitical ends: safeguarding public health and eliminating syphilis. Viewing sexually transmitted diseases as a threat to the nation's population and economy, the Ministry of Health and Social Assistance played a crucial role in the identification and definition of prostitution as a public health risk. Out of this medicalized framing of the disease…
Sex and the Capital City: The Political Framing of Syphilis and Prostitution in Early Republican Ankara
In its initial years, the nascent Turkish republic established the Ministry of Health and Social Assistance in order to promote public health. Beyond simply facilitating its modernizing agenda for the emergent nation-state as it sought to define itself against an Ottoman past, this institution was also geared toward remedying a self-defined population crisis by prioritizing and confronting particular diseases and health conditions. One of the mal…

Traditional Ecologies of the Opium Poppy and Oral History in Rural Turkey
Cultivated in the Eastern Mediterranean region for millennia, the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) was profoundly significant in the economies, ecologies, cultures, and diets of the peoples of many towns and villages of rural Anatolia. When the United States compelled Turkey to eradicate cultivation of the plant in the early 1970s in order to diminish the flow of heroin into America, farmers were obliged to deal with not only changes in their inc…
"Poppies Are Democracy!" a Critical Geopolitics Of Opium Eradication And Reintroduction In Turkey
Historical scholarship in traditional geopolitics often relied on documents authored by states and by other influential actors. Although much work in the subfield of critical geopolitics thus far has addressed imbalances constructed in official, academic, and popular media due to a privileging of such narratives, priority might also be given to unearthing and bringing to light alternative geopolitical perspectives from otherwise marginalized popu…

Regionalism in the Middle East and the Case of Turkey
Turkey is a republic that borders on, regularly interacts with, and actively seeks to define itself as a part of neighboring regions. As such, it provides a significant example of how Middle East nation‐states are not only affected by globalization but also deeply involved in contributing to the related processes of regionalization and regional (re)definition. Far from a unique phenomenon, regionalism involving Turkey is flexible and multifaceted…
