Fighting for the River
Fighting for the River portrays women's intimate, embodied relationships with river waters and explores how those relationships embolden local communities' resistance to private run-of-the-river hydroelectric power plants in Turkey. Building on extensive ethnographic research, Özge Yaka develops a body-centered, phenomenological approach to women's environmental activism and combines it with a relational ontological perspective. In this way, the book pushes beyond the "natural resources" frame to demonstrate how our corporeal connection to nonhuman entities is constitutive of our more-than-human lifeworld. Fighting for the River takes the human body as a starting point to explore the connection between lived experience and nonhuman environments, treating bodily senses and affects as the media of more-than-human connectivity and political agency. Analyzing local environmental struggles as struggles for coexistence, Yaka frames human-nonhuman relationality as a matter of socio-ecological justice.

Borçlandırma Siyaseti
“Ali Rıza Güngen’in… çalışmasının özgün bir hipotezi var: Türkiye’de ‘finansallaşan kapitalizmin yeni tür ... yurttaş yaratma uğraşının bir projeye dönüşerek 2010’lar başında devlet kademesinde hâkim olma’ sürecinin irdelenmesi. Güngen bu projenin uygulamaları ve sonuçlarının, Türkiye’de 1980’lerde başlayan finansallaşmanın bir veçhesini oluşturduğunu ileri sürmekte. Günümüzde medya deyimiyle her yerde ve her şeyde bir ‘yerli ve milli’ unsur yaratma projesinin öznesinin irdelenmesi ve bu ‘öznenin’ devlet kademelerinde nasıl şekillendirilmekte olduğunun analizi de denilebilir.” Erinç Yeldan Neden Türkiye’de finans s...
How to Make a Wetland
How to Make A Wetland tells the story of two Turkish coastal areas, both shaped by ecological change and political uncertainty. On the Black Sea coast and the shores of the Aegean, farmers, scientists, fishermen, and families grapple with livelihoods in transition, as their environment is bound up in national and international conservation projects. Bridges and drainage canals, apartment buildings and highways—as well as the birds, water buffalo, and various animals of the regions—all inform a moral ecology in the making. Drawing on six years of fieldwork in wetlands and deltas, Caterina Scaramelli offers an anthropological understanding of sweeping environmental and infrastructural change, and the moral claims made on livability and materiality in Turkey, and beyond. Beginning from a moral ecological position, she takes into account the notion that politics is not simply projected onto animals, plants, soil, water, sediments, rocks, and other non-human beings and materials. Rather, people make politics through them. With this book, she highlights the aspirations, moral relations, and care practices in constant play in contestations and alliances over environmental change.
Current Debates in Social Sciences Vol. 30
Social sciences are not a field of science that can be defined or restricted to one or two disciplines. They have subbranches such as anthropology, psychology, sociology, literature, education and philosophy, each of which has different purposes, functions and objectives. Definitions, boundaries, and assumptions about social sciences disciplines stand on scientific approaches. No criterion makes one field of social science superior to another. This book, titled Current Debates in Social Studies, has been prepared with an understanding that regards every social science as essential and valuable. The book contains seventeen studies, each of which is prepared by expert researchers, each belonging to different fields of social sciences. These studies on current issues and problems will also be the source of future studies in related fields.
Ethnicity, Gender and the Border Economy
For whom and why are borders drawn? What are the symbolic projections of these physical realities? And what are the symbolic projections of these physical realities? Constituted by experience and memory, borders shape a "border image" in the minds and social memory of people beyond the lines of the state. In the case of the Turkey-Georgia border, the image of the border has often been constructed as an economic reality that creates "conditional permeabilities" rather than political emphases. This book puts forward the argument that participation in this economic life reshapes the relationship between the ethnic groups who live in the borderland as well as gender relations. By drawing on deta...
Akıncılar Hareketi
“Teşkilat bir yandan Parti [Milli Selamet Partisi] tarafından tanınmış belirli bir özerk alan içerisinde hareket edebiliyordu ancak diğer yandan Parti tarafından hoş görülmeyecek hamleler yapmamaya özen göstermeliydi. Gençlik hareketinin ülkücü harekette olduğu gibi Parti’ye nüfuz ederek onu içeriden dönüştürme şansı yoktu, çünkü mevcut siyasi elitler söz konusu yukarı doğru hareketliliğin önünü özenle kapatmışlardı... Teşkilat ne tam olarak Parti’nin teşkilatıydı ne de ondan bağımsızdı.” Milli Görüş’ün 1970’lerdeki partisi olan Milli Selamet Partisi’nin gençlik örgütü Akıncılar, Türkiye’de İslâmcı...

Neoliberal Turkey and its Discontents
The 'neoliberal' economic policy of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's AKP Party, which has delivered extraordinary growth in Turkish GDP over the last decade, has been one of the foundations of the party's popular appeal. Here, a group of experts on Turkish political economy show how these policies have also had a detrimental impact on the environment, sustainability and the long-term health of the Turkish economy. Taking the two main sectors of growth during the past decade-energy and construction-as its primary focus, the book engages broadly with the political economy of inequality and sustainability in contemporary Turkey. Ultimately, the authors argue that 'environmental conflicts' in Turkey are not merely about the environment but intersect with contemporary politics of religion, ethnicity, gender, and class within the context of top-down, modernising economic development. Neoliberal Turkey and its Discontents marks an important contribution to debates around the economic growth of Turkey and the future of the AKP's long-term economic plan.
