Reconciliation, Civil Society, and the Politics of Memory
How did civil society function as a locus for reconciliation initiatives since the beginning of the 20th century? The essays in this volume challenge the conventional understanding of reconciliation as a benign state-driven process. They explore how a range of civil society actors - from Turkish intellectuals apologizing for the Armenian Genocide to religious organizations working towards the improvement of Franco-German relations - have confronted and coped with the past. These studies offer a critical perspective on local and transnational reconciliation acts by questioning the extent to which speech became an alternative to silence, remembrance to forgetting, engagement to oblivion.
Social Media and Politics in Turkey
This book focuses on media and zeroes in some critical and oppositional aspects of internet usage within Turkey. It does not radically challenge some works on Turkey’s recent grand narrative but presents empirical and minor accounts to this. However, in elaborating the long history of relatively resilient and multilayered oppositional digital media networks in Turkey, this book insists that an idea of authoritarian turn may be misleading as the internet communications are exposed to repressive measures and surveillance tactics from the very beginning of the country’s recent past. While discussing from citizen journalism practices to political trolls and from Gezi Park protests to disinformation campaigns, this book pays tribute to digital activists and points out that mobilizing through digital networks can present glimmers of hope in challenging authoritarian regimes.
Model Citizens of the State
Model Citizens of the State: The Jews of Turkey during the Multi-Party Period is about the history of the Turkish Jews from 1950 to present. By using unpublished primary sources as well as secondary sources, the book describes the struggle of Turkish Jews for the application of their constitutional rights, their fight against anti-Semitism and the indifferent attitude of the Turkish establishment to these problems. Finally, it describes Turkish Jewish leadership’s involvement in the lobbying efforts on behalf of the Turkish Republic against the acceptance of resolutions in the U.S. Congress recognizing the Armenian Genocide.
The Mobilization of Political Islam in Turkey
The Mobilization of Political Islam in Turkey explains why political Islam, which has been part of Turkish politics since the 1970s but on the rise only since the 1990s, has now achieved governing power. Drawing on social movement theory, the book focuses on the dominant form of Islamist activism in Turkey by analyzing the increasing electoral strength of four successive Islamist political parties: the Welfare Party; its successor, the Virtue Party; and the successors of the Virtue Party: the Felicity Party and the Justice and Development Party. This book, which is based on extensive primary and secondary sources as well as in-depth interviews, provides the most comprehensive analysis currently available of the Islamist political mobilization in Turkey.

Yaşam ve Söylem
Yaşam ve söylem birbirini karşılıklı olarak besleyen iki verimli kavramdır. Söylem bir var oluş biçiminin anlatı formlarında açığa çıkmasıdır. İnsanlar toplumsal, siyasal, düşünsel, kültürel aidiyet ve kimliklerini söylemleriyle mücessem hale getirir. Nihayetinde toplumsal gerçeklik bir çoğul gerçeklikler toplamıdır. Söylemler bu toplumsal gerçekliğin çoğulcu yapısını anlamanın ve bu gerçekliği analiz etmenin önemli araçlarından biridir. Kitaptaki yazılar toplumsal gerçekliğin dayandığı söylemleri yerel ve küresel aktüalite üzerinden rasyonel bir okuma ve anlama çabasıdır. Bu çabanın neye karşılık geldiğine sonuç olarak okuyucu karar verecektir.
Eleştirmenin Günlüğü 2008
2001 yılının hemen başında başladı bir "müzik günlüğü" tutma/yazma telaşım. Amacım, Radikal ya da benzeri bir yerde yayımlanan yazılarımda yer alamayacak fikirlerin/görüşlerin, bir biçimde yazıya aktarılması, satırlara dizilmesiydi. Bir nevi "Benim yazacağım her şey mühimdir" saplantısı; ama bir nevi de, kaynak ve arşiv çabalarına el hareketi çekenlere inat, müziğimizin adımlarını yıl yıl/tarih tarih kayıt altına almaktı. Aradan geçen uzun yıllar boyunca, bir "müzik günlüğü" tutma iddiamdan uzaklaşmamaya çalıştım. Gün geldi sinema, gün geldi edebiyat, gün geldi her türden popüler kültür gelişmesine de bulaşmadım değil; ama ...
