Minorities and Diasporas in Turkey
The Republic of Turkey was born on 29 October 1923 as the final outcome of a very troubled historical process. The Muslims of Anatolia and Eastern Thrace had faced the risk of disintegration and submission. The father and leader of the “new Turkey”, Mustafa Kemal, felt the plurality that had characterized the Ottoman world as a source of weakness and danger. In these nearly 100 years Republican Turkey has scored many admirable accomplishments, but her genesis left a permanent imprint in the political and social development of the country. Thus, the Turkish State has perpetuated a suspicious and repressive attitude towards the particular identities. This book, stemmed from a conference held in November 2021, presents two introductive papers and six specific contributions where the issues of education and public discourse are among the main topics.
The Abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate, 1924
This book explores the decision by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey in 1924 to abolish the caliphate. The Ottoman sultans had long borne the title of caliphs of Islam, with all the prestigious authority throughout the Muslim world that went with it, and in the aftermath of the First World War the caliphate still retained great symbolic relevance.The book considers the questions that arose with its abolition, including whether or not the caliphate should be revived, reformed or replaced by other forms of political affiliation and organization. It also assesses more general issues concerning identity and legitimate authority, and how to reconcile time-honoured religious institutions and concepts with modernity, the nation-state and affiliations of an ethnic and religious nature. The book additionally addresses the debates within the pan-Islamic congresses concerning the fate of the caliphate, and the implications of its abolition for Kurdish–Turkish relations and for the British and French Empires with their large Muslim populations.
Soggettività, identità nazionale, memorie
Questo volume si propone di indagare le ragioni per cui in Turchia la memoria individuale e la costruzione della soggettività, intese in senso lato, debordino così spesso dai confini dell'individuo per inglobare le problematiche dell'identità nazionale. Le "scritture del sé", che siano confessioni, memorie, romanzi autobiografici e biografici, sono state scelte quali strumenti per giungere a comprendere i meccanismi di costruzione della memoria individuale e collettiva. Le problematiche relative alla costruzione della moderna nazione turca con i suoi eventi storici traumatici, gli approcci al tema della memoria da parte dei segmenti esclusi dal discorso dominante ed egemone, costituiscono i nuclei tematici centrali attorno a cui si sviluppa la riflessione degli autori.

Rewriting and Rereading the XIX and XX-Century Canons
The book takes its lead from academic Annamaria Pagliaro’s experience straddling Australia and Italy over a thirty-year period. As both former colleagues and collaborators of Pagliaro, we editors intend to open a kaleidoscope of perspectives on the international research landscape in the fields of Italian and Anglophone studies, starting from Pagliaro’s own contribution to the creation of relations between the two cultures in the period that saw her work transnationally as Director of the Monash University Prato Centre (2005-2008).
Routledge Handbook of Turkey's Diasporas
This handbook, the first of its kind, provides a rich overview of the socio-political issues and dynamics impacting Turkey’s diasporic groups and diaspora policymaking. Turkey constitutes an important case study in the field of diaspora studies with a diaspora population of around 6.5 million. This handbook therefore brings together emerging and established scholars to explore the central issues, actors, and processes relating to Turkey’s diasporic groups and diaspora outreach. Taken together, the historical and contemporary analyses presented in this volume provide readers a multi-lens perspective on the trajectories of Turkey’s diasporic communities and diaspora policymaking in a wid...
Improving working conditions in platform work in the light of the recent proposal for a directive
This collective work has the aim to bring together several contributions by scholars from different Countries through the leitmotif of the analysis of work through digital platforms, also in the light of the latest proposal for a European Union directive. The first section focuses on the analysis of digital platform work, in various aspects, including issues concerning the use of artificial intelligence. The second section analyses issues related to the development of workers’ rights through digital platforms. In the third section, the authors made considerations on the intervention of the draft directive on qualification.
Leggere Istanbul
Ricorrendo alla metafora della città-testo, il volume investiga in un’ottica comparata le rappresentazioni di Istanbul nelle opere di due coppie d’autori: Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar/Orhan Pamuk e Yaşar Kemal/Latife Tekin. Le nozioni di memoria e lingua costituiscono le cifre ermeneutiche principali nell’analisi delle singole poetiche urbane intese rispettivamente come esempi di (ri)scrittura e traduzione nello spazio letterario dell’alta cultura nazionale del testo mnesico e culturale della città. Muovendo da una prospettiva centrale a una periferica, l’itinerario così seguito intende dimostrare l’intima relazione che sussiste tra forme di appropriazione estetica della spazio-temporalità urbana e processi di (de)costruzione del canone turco nazionale.
“Granito e arcobaleno”. Forme e modi della scrittura auto/biografica
"Granito e arcobaleno". Forme e modi della scrittura auto/biografica raccoglie saggi che affrontano questioni che attengono alle relazioni, e ai loro fragili equilibri, tra realtà e finzione, esperienza e memoria, privato e pubblico, autonomia e relazionalità, verità referenziale e verità soggettiva, tra il sé e l’Altro. I contributi chiamano in causa, inoltre, concetti quali lo spazio – sociale, culturale, geopolitico, ma anche retorico – nel quale il soggetto auto/biografico è posizionato; la 'materialità' del corpo che percepisce e interiorizza le immagini, le sensazioni e le esperienze del mondo esterno; l’agentività (agency) e i vincoli linguistici, discorsivi, sociali e culturali cui è sottoposta. Dopo un’apertura teorica, il volume approfondisce singoli casi di studio riconducibili a realtà culturali diverse e, talora, distanti tra loro, per approdare a una riflessione d’artista sull’arte e sulla vita.
