Exiled Scholars and New Organizational Strategies in Academic Humanitarianism in Europe in the Aftermath of the Syrian War
Over the past decade and more, many countries in the Middle East and Africa have experienced significant disruptions in their social and institutional life due to the rise of new wars and authoritarian regimes in the region. Although these crises have resulted in large masses of people, including many academics, migrating into neighbouring countries and Europe, the responses of European states to these crises have been varied, and the transnation…
Analyzing the Justice and Development Party’s changing discourse on the headscarf issue as the constitutive part of its drift toward authoritarian politics in Turkey
Despite its long history since the late Ottoman period in Turkey, this article focuses on the headscarf issue within a particular period; since 2002, when the Justice and Development Party has been in power. Women’s issues have always occupied a large space in the Justice and Development Party’s project(s), which articulate diverse narrative lines ranging from conservatism to liberalism. The article aims to unravel this diverse insight into the J…
At-risk scholars in Europe
Humanity is vividly witnessing the loss of life, the massive destruction, and human rights violations due to new authoritarian regimes and protracted wars that have intensified in the last few decades, particularly in countries of the Global South. Such conflictual situations have also resulted in devastating attacks against academic institutions and values and, in turn, the displacement of scholars, mainly to neighbouring countries and to Europe…

The Politics of the Female Body in Contemporary Turkey
Under the leadership of the Justice and Development Party in Turkey came new regulations about reproductive rights, family and gender policies. Women’s central role in reproductive and domestic work was swiftly reaffirmed as a state value and policies surrounding issues such as abortion and IVF were newly debated. Taking Turkey as the case study, this is the first book to examine the various ways in which neoliberal modes of governing women’s bod…
New Wars and Their Visual Representation
This paper seeks to understand why there has been an increase in photographic images exposing military violence or displaying bodies killed by military forces and how they can freely circulate in the public without being censored or kept hidden. In other words, it aims to analyze this particular issue as a symptom of the emergence of new wars and a new regime of their visual representation. Within this framework, it attempts to relate two kinds o…
Neoliberal-neoconservative feminism(s) in Turkey
Studying changes in the Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) politics within the general context of the long-lasting history of neoliberalism-neoconservatism in Turkey, this paper aims to provide a new perspective for analyzing the party’s recent drift to authoritarianism from the perspective of its gender politics. For many feminist scholars and activists, the recent changes in the AKP’s gender politics are a matter of an increase in the AKP’s …

Since feminist counter discourses are considered an interactive part of the public opinion-building process, inste…

Hegemonic struggle, the state and popular culture The case of football in Turkey

Turkish football fans and supporters also witnessed the beginning of a process of radical transformation in football within the same period. This article seeks to shed light on the new hegemonic politics of the New Right via a critical analysis of the mechanisms through which the New Right’s politics and footba…
