Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Analyses Turkey’s precarious democracy from the perspective of its entwinement with violenceBrings together 11 case studies that take up different forms of violence which collectively shed light on the contradictions and limitations of Turkey’s democracyZooms in on themes such as martyrdom, counterinsurgency warfare, enforced disappearances and conscientious objection; sites such as emergency zones, cemeteries, monuments and borderlands; and institutions such as prisons, courts and the armyDraws on historical, discursive, and ethnographic approachesGathers contributors from disciplines including political theory, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, history, international relations, gender studies and sexuality studiesSpeaks to the broader research programme on violence in the critical humanities and social sciencesThis book makes a strong case that Turkey’s regime and its vicissitudes are dependent on a necropolitical undercurrent.-
• Building on the insights of critical and contemporary theory, the essays address the multiple ways in which lives are brought into the fold of power. Once there, they are subjected to mechanisms of death and destruction, and to modalities of infrastructural violence, strategic neglect and exposure. This produces new forms of impoverishment, inequality and disposability. ContributorsOnur Bakıner, Seattle University, WA, USA. Osman Balkan, Swarthmore College, PA, USA.
