This study, first, explores the connections between neoliberal governmentality and neo-conservative nationalism, which breeds a global tendency of autocratization, from a Foucauldian perspective. Neoliberal rationality and strategy of governing is increasingly being encapsulated by the social and political hegemony which is under construction by contemporary forms of neo-conservative nationalism. We argue that both neoliberal governmentality and neo-conservative nationalism, as distinct but connected governmental rationalities, operate by way of minoritization. This power mechanism is questioned and opposed by the minoritized in their struggles for their dignity and autonomy. We define these struggles as contemporary forms of counter-conduct and bring cases from contemporary Turkey. Counter-memory practices, counter-archiving, artistic creativity, solidarity networks and collectives outside of market competition are significant here. The minoritized groups of people strive for self-definition, self-invention and self-determination beyond the imposed categorizations and limitations dictated by market competition and neo-conservative nationalism through these practices
