Populists and the Pandemic
Populists and the Pandemic examines the responses of populist political actors and parties in 22 countries around the globe to the COVID-19 pandemic, in terms of their attitudes, rhetoric, mobilization repertoires, and policy proposals. The responses of some populist leaders have received much public attention, as they denied the severity of the public health crisis, denigrated experts and data, looked for scapegoats, encouraged protests, questioned the legitimacy of liberal institutions, spread false information, and fueled conspiracies. But how widespread are those particular reactions? How much variation is there? What explains the variation that does exist? This volume considers these qu...
Tedirginlik Çağı: Şiddet, Aidiyet ve Siyaset Üzerine
Bildiğimiz dünyanın köklü bir dönüşüm geçirdiği günümüzde Türkiye toplumu da bir bilinmeze sürükleniyor. Evren Balta, oldukça hızlı seyretmekte olan dönüşümün kültürel, siyasal ve iktisadi boyutlarını tartıştığı bu kitabında belirsizlik yaratan güvensizlik ve tedirginlik hissinin akisleri üstüne düşünürken kurumlar, koşullar ve siyasal eğilimler arasında güçlü bağlar kuruyor. “Korku ve güvencesizliğin dönüşümü şiddet ve siyasetin dönüşümü ile nasıl ilişkilendirilebilir?”, “Farklı kaynaklara sahip topluluklar korku ve güvensizliğe nasıl yanıt veriyorlar?” “Elindekileri kaybetme korkusuyla yaşayanlar hangi tür ba...

Remaking Politics, Markets, and Citizens in Turkey
Remaking Politics, Markets, and Citizens in Turkey critically analyses the travel of neoliberal ideas, policies, experts and institutions from the West to Turkey. Through an ethnographic investigation of the newly established tobacco market, Ebru Kayaalp considers how they are being adopted and transformed in their new settings. The February 2001 crisis, the most severe economic downturn in the history of Turkey, generated an emergency situation in which a series of sweeping neoliberal policies were implemented to prop up the collapsed economy. To receive the necessary loans from the international financial institutions, the Turkish government hastily enacted a number of neoliberal laws, inc...

The Making of Neoliberal Turkey
Exploring the divergent aspects of the rule of neoliberalism in Turkey since 1980s, each chapter in this book highlights a specific dimension of this socio-economic process and together, these essays construct a thorough examination of the whirlwind of changes recently experienced by Turkish society. With particular focus on the new ways in which social power operates, expert contributors explore new discourses and subjectivities around environmentalism, health, popular culture, economic policies, feminism and motherhood, urban space and minorities, class and masculinities. By questioning the primary influence of the state in these micro-political matters, they engage with concepts of neoliberalism and governmentality to provide a fresh, grounded and analytical perspective on the routes through which social power navigates the society. This sustained examination of the new axes of power and subjectivity, with a particular eye on the formation of new political spaces of governance and resistance, deepens the analysis of Turkey's experiment with neoliberal globalization.

Digital Health
The rise of digital health technologies is, for some, a panacea to many of the medical and public health challenges we face today. This is the first book to articulate a critical response to the techno-utopian and entrepreneurial vision of the digital health phenomenon. Deborah Lupton, internationally renowned for her scholarship on the sociocultural and political aspects of medicine and health as well as digital technologies, addresses a range of compelling issues about the interests digital health represents, and its unintended effects on patients, doctors and how we conceive of public health and healthcare delivery. Bringing together social and cultural theory with empirical research, the...
Early Cinema in Scotland
Examines the history of early cinema in Scotland from its inception in 1896 until the 1930s. The popularity of cinema and cinema-going in Scotland was exceptional.
