Following the routinization of assisted reproduction in the industrialized world, technologies such as in vitro fertilization, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, and DNA-based paternity testing have traveled globally and are now being offered to couples in numerous non-Western countries. This volume explores the application and impact of these advanced reproductive and genetic technologies in societies across the globe. By highlighting both the cross-cultural similarities and diverse meanings that technologies may assume as they enter multiple contexts, the book aims to foster understanding of both the technologies and the settings. Enhanced by cross-cultural perspectives, the book addresses the challenges that globalization presents to local understandings of science, technology, and medicine.

Hedefe Varan Mızrak: Necip Fazıl Kısakürek A.Ali Ural “Çocuk bu sesi nereden buldun,” demişti Ahmet Haşim genç Necip Fazıl’a Yeni Mecmua’nın idarehanesinde. Şiirin önce ses olduğuna inanan Tanpınar, bu büyülü sesin altını çizmişti yıllar sonra: “Ben kendi hesabıma aşağıdaki altı mısraı, Türkçede ritmin zaferlerinden biri tanır ve severim: Kimbilir nerdesiniz?/ Geçen dakikalarım/ Kimbilir nerdesiniz/ Yıldızların, korkarım/ Düştüğü yerdesiniz/ Geçen dakikalarım…” Necip Fazıl’ı büyük yapan yalnız şiirinin sesini bulması değil milletinin sesiyle bütünleşmesiydi. O sesi bulmak hiç kolay olmadı onun için. “Kaldırımlar...

As a religious and cultural minority in Turkey, the Alevis have suffered a long history of persecution and discrimination. In the late 1980s they started a movement for the recognition of Alevi identity in both Germany and Turkey. Today, they constitute a significant segment of Germany’s Turkish immigrant population. In a departure from the current debate on identity and diaspora, Sökefeld offers a rich account of the emergence and institutionalization of the Alevi movement in Germany, giving particular attention to its politics of recognition within Germany and in a transnational context. The book deftly combines empirical findings with innovative theoretical arguments and addresses current questions of migration, diaspora, transnationalism, and identity.
