Archival silences, ambivalent repertoires
Despite their politically complex and aesthetically innovative works, Black performers in the Ottoman Empire and Turkey have received limited scholarly attention. As one of the first critical studies of a Black performer from Turkey, this essay traces the life and career of Melis Sökmen (b. 1964), following her trajectory from the post-coup advertising industry and festival circuits, to a prominent voice in the 1990s pop music boom, to a respecte…
(Not) teaching a spectacularly sticky subject under right-wing populism
The global surge of right-wing populisms has reshaped education by governing not only what can be taught but how it must be felt. In Turkey, evolution has become what I call a spectacularly sticky subject: a domain of knowledge whose hypervisibility and emotional charge expose the affective logic through which authoritarian populism governs knowledge. Spectacularly sticky subjects transform educational settings and curricular subjects into specta…
Global sufferings, local voices
In Turkey, the principle of silence, kayadez , has long shaped Jewish cultural life and archival practices. While the community has remained cautious about maintaining archives and making them publicly accessible, some Jewish cultural producers have created unorthodox archival projects. Theatre has been an important realm for such efforts. Jewish theatre makers have often engaged with local and global Jewish archives in their works. More importan…
Remembering the Army of Robust Children in the Age of the Utopian Turn
During the Turkish War of Independence (1919-1923), General Kâzım Karabekir recruited approximately six thousand children and created a children's town that Ottoman intellectuals explicitly described as utopian. His militaristic paternal care project aimed to transform ethnically ambiguous orphans and other poor children into ideal Turkish citizens. A firm believer in the disciplinary power of theatre, Karabekir staged performances in diverse gen…
Viral sexualities, viral songs
The AIDS crisis was a global phenomenon, but the ways individuals responded to the crisis reflected local histories and sociopolitical dynamics. This was particularly true for musical productions. Turkey's first high-profile HIV patient Murtaza Elgin's albums demonstrate how queer cultural producers and their allies used stigmatized popular music genres to intervene in the AIDS crisis. The albums show how such collaborative projects become a site…
A Clean Conscience behind the Dark Bars
The iconification of political prisoners enhances their visibility, credibility, and power. Nevertheless, iconification may also reduce, reimagine, or otherwise distort the biographies and experiences of political prisoners. Moreover, iconicity's blurring of prisoners' views and activities may result in the recirculation of their stories in the service of political projects that do not fully align with their own. The incarceration of the Islamist…
Hidden Archives, Closeted Desires, Postponed Utopias
How do queer intellectuals produce dramatic texts for utopian archival projects? How do (once) hidden theatre practices exist in a complicated relationship with the claims about covert or clandestine performances in the messy afterlives of such unorthodox archives? This essay explores such processes and how they unfolded in the context of Turkish opera by focusing on the work of Rıza Nur (1879-1942).Rıza Nur was a queer Turkish politician who cre…
Archival Lives of Popular Culture
Carrying Our Country to the World
In the Cold War era, as Turkey negotiated its place in a changing global order, tourism emerged as an important site of diplomacy. The amalgamation of tourism and diplomacy reached its peak during the cruise organized by the Turkey Tourism Association with the ocean liner Tarsus in 1954. The main destination of the cruise was the United States. Alongside an exhibition on the ship's deck promoting Turkey, the Tarsus also carried fashion models and…

From a Daughter of the Republic to a Femme Fatale
From a Daughter of the Republic to a Femme Fatale:The Life and Times of Turkey's First Professional Fashion Model, Lale Belkıs Rustem Ertug Altinay (bio) I woke up with a voice. It was not scary. On the contrary, how shall I explain, it was a heart-warming, soothing, echoing, soft voice. It was saying "Belkıs . . . Belkıs . . ." The voice was rising with echoes. When I opened my eyes, I saw a man's arm reaching my bed from the ceiling. A hairy, l…

“This child, whose bone age is fourteen …” Ethical dimensions of skeletal age assessment
Forensic age estimation in living subjects is an important task for forensic experts, especially in countries where birth records are not well maintained. The process often is used to confirm the chronological age of a criminal or victim when there is a lack of available evidence, such as birth records and witnesses. Focusing on the case of Turkey where the Greulich and Pyle method is often the only method used in forensic estimation of age, this…
