Faith and Fashion in Turkey
Turkey has witnessed remarkable sociocultural change under the regime of Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP), particularly regarding its religious communities. As individuals with pious identities have increasingly gained access to state power and accumulated economic influence, so religious appearances and practices have become more visible in Turkey's `secular' public spaces. More than this, consumption practices have changed and new Islamic and Islamist identities have emerged. This book investigates three of the most widespread faith-inspired communities in Turkey: the Gulen, Suleymanli and the Menzil. Nazli Alimen compares these communities, looking at their...

Een heidens karwei
Turkije islamiseert? Nee hoor, de Turkse samenleving wordt juist steeds seculierder. Hoewel de meeste mensen nog in God zeggen te geloven, trekken zeker jongeren zich steeds minder aan van de godsdienstige regels. De islam is op de terugtocht, zo ziet Rob Vreeken, correspondent in Istanbul. Zijn verhalen over vrouwen, lhbti, de moskee, seksualiteit, cultuur, de jeugd, verstedelijking, onderwijs, de hoofddoek en politiek doen het gangbare beeld van Turkije kantelen. Wat de seculiere Vader des Vaderlands Kemal Atatürk nooit echt lukte, gebeurt onder president Recep Tayyip Erdogan vanzelf, al diens pogingen Turkije conservatiever en islamitischer te maken ten spijt. Ook in Turkije is de samenl...
Social Change and the Coming of Post-consumer Society
Consumer society is an unquestionably complex social construct. However, after decades of unremitting dominance there are signs emerging that it is starting to falter, both as a coherent and durable system of social organization and as a strategy for societal advancement.

Social Change and the Coming of Post-Consumer Society aims to develop more complete appreciation of the relevant processes of social change and to identify effective interventions that could enable a transition to supersede consumer society. Bringing together leading interdisciplin...
The Routledge International Handbook to Veils and Veiling
Veils and veiling are controversial topics in social and political life, generating debates across the world. The veil is enmeshed within a complex web of relations encompassing politics, religion and gender, and conflicts over the nature of power, legitimacy, belief, freedom, agency and emancipation. In recent years, the veil has become both a potent and unsettling symbol and a rallying-point for discourse and rhetoric concerning women, Islam and the nature of politics. Early studies in gender, doctrine and politics of veiling appeared in the 1970s following the Islamic revival and ’re-veiling’ trends that were dramatically expressed by 1979’s Iranian Islamic revolution. In the 1990s,...
