Nation, Religion, and the Racial Exception
Nationalism presents a multitude of ways to talk about characteristics of its mem-bers and to view how these characteristics are formed in a timeless past. Popula-tions identified as nations imagine themselves as sharing a collective identity and social solidarity. They form discourses offering ways of stipulating what defines nations in terms of collective characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, and religion. In many cases, these outright excl…
Racial otherness, citizenship, and belonging
How does “not looking like a Turk” affect belonging and exclusion in contemporary Turkey? Perceptions of skin colour have the power to transcend socio-economic and national boundaries through experiences of racial otherness. This paper illustrates racialization by focusing on diverse groups of “outsiders”. Foreign-born professional athletes navigate a media field that mark them as permanent others, as demonstrated by media controversies around so…

Neo-Ottomanism and Cool Japan in comparative perspective
Turkey and Japan have comparable histories of modernization beginning in the nineteenth century. They have since then produced modernities that are considered a mix of “Eastern” and “Western.” Over recent decades, both faced the question of what comes after modernity and began manufacturing their versions of authenticities and cultural exports. This paper comparatively locates two symptoms of this process. “Neo-Ottomanism” refers to the increasin…
Education and symbolic violence in contemporary Turkey
This article examines the perceptions of education in Turkey, which refer to a nebulous package of formal education and a cultured stance. Guided by the literature on symbolic violence, we argue that underprivileged groups misrecognize arbitrary hierarchies by considering them just and inevitable. Elite tastes have been internalized by other groups in a particular historical context of education and culture. We investigate the historical roots of…
Academic neo-colonialism in writing practices
The association of gender role attitudes and offense type with public punitiveness toward male and female offenders
Between neo-Ottomanism and Ottomania
In contemporary Turkey, a growing interest in Ottoman history represents a change in both the official state discourse and popular culture. This nostalgia appropriates, reinterprets, decontextualizes, and juxtaposes formerly distinct symbols, ideas, objects, and histories in unprecedented ways. In this paper, we distinguish between state-led neo-Ottomanism and popular cultural Ottomania, focusing on the ways in which people in Turkey are interpel…
Cultural omnivorousness in Turkey
Recent cultural consumption research has drawn attention to the emergence of the high status 'cultural omnivore,' that is, individuals who consume a wide range of cultural products, including the expected 'high culture,' but more 'popular' forms as well. Initially reported in studies conducted in the developed West, this study broadens the basis of comparison by investigating the case of Turkey - a non-western, predominantly Muslim, developing co…
A Cultural Map of Turkey
There is a growing body of empirical research on national patterns of cultural consumption and how they are related to social stratification. This paper helps to broaden the basis of comparison by focusing on cultural patterns in Turkey, a developing, non-Western, and predominantly Muslim context. Our analysis of cultural tastes and activities using data from a new nationally-representative survey shows three broad cultural clusters that clearly …
The racialization of Kurdish identity in Turkey
Until the 1990s, the Kurdish issue in Turkey largely involved the Turkish state, an ethnic group and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). The 2000s witnessed community-level clashes between Kurds and Turks, signalling the Turkish population's rise as an actor in the issue. This paper makes two claims. First, communal clashes indicate that Kurdish identity is not an ethnic identity alone, but is experiencing a racialization process, based on four i…
Explaining Anti‐Kurdish Beliefs in Turkey
Objective. In the wake of Turkey's EU candidacy and the U.S.‐led war in Iraq, Turkey's Kurdish question has drawn international attention. Due to previous data limitations, ours is the first article to analyze what explains anti‐Kurdish beliefs in Turkey using nationally representative survey data. Methods. Through descriptive analyses and partial proportional odds models of the Pew Global Attitudes Survey (2002), we examine the extent and source…
Cultural encounters in the social sciences and humanities
Turkish modernization relied on the western social sciences and humanities not only as an abstract and distant model, but also in the form of close encounters and interactions with western refugee scholars. This article examines the activities of western intellectuals and experts who visited Turkey in the early republican era (1923-50), especially focusing on a group of èmigrè scholars who were employed in Turkey after the university reform of 19…
Biometrics and anthropometrics
In the first half of the twentieth century, eugenic debates and policies revolved around positive (encouraging the reproduction of 'superior' individuals) and negative (preventing the reproduction of 'inferior' individuals) applications for the purpose of improving hereditary characteristics and preventing social problems. However, their particular manifestations varied because eugenic agendas responded differently to putative social problems in …
Is the Turk a White Man?’ Towards a Theoretical Framework for Race in the Making of Turkishness
Drawing on critical whiteness studies, this article explores the role of race in the formation and maintenance of Turkish identity. The aim is to make connections across time (between contemporary Turkey and its past), space (placing the Turkish experience within a transnational context), and theoretical perspectives (investigating questions arising from the framework of whiteness within the context of Turkey). I argue that the literature of nati…
On Humans, Fish, and Mermaids
This essay analyzes arabesk, a form of popular music in Turkey, as it pertains to debates around culture, politics, and modernity. I argue that arabesk, rather than being limited to discussions of music as an aesthetic form, reveals important issues as to the historical unfolding of discursive patterns that still very much outline the boundaries of cultural debates in Turkish society. The historic changes of arabesk music corresponds to turning p…
Glasgow University Radiocarbon Measurements V
Operation of counting systems and preparation of results remain as described previously by Baxter et al. (1969), and Ergin et al. (1970)
Glasgow University Radiocarbon Measurements II
A third radiocarbon counting system has been established in the Chemistry Department, University of Glasgow, since April, 1968. Operating conditions for the previous systems have remained essentially as described by Baxter et al. (1969)
Glasgow University Radiocarbon Measurements I
Two radiocarbon counting systems have been established in the Chemistry Department, University of Glasgow, since late 1967. The counting gas is methane, at pressures up to 10 atm, and 2 alternative procedures are followed for methane production, (a) high pressure synthesis in a stainless steel 4.5 1 reactor and (b) low pressure synthesis in an all glass flow-reactor. Both systems employ 0.5% ruthenium on alumina pellets as catalyst (Engelhard Ind…
