Conference Object Turkish Discourse on Arab Upheavals in International Environment: Post-Structural Analysis of Un General Assembly Speeches (2011-2018)(İstnabul Şehir University, Center Fore Modern Turkish Studies, 2019) Güleç, CansuWith the outbreak of the grassroots movements in December 2010, the conjuncture of the Middle Eastbegan to undergo a major transformation. The first demonstrations took place in Central Tunisia, andafter a while, a series of anti-government protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions spread across thewhole region. With this process, defined as “Arab Spring”, any country affected by the rebellion wavehas experienced different political developments and started to follow different routes. Turkey, as aregional country, has not only monitor developments, but instead followed a very active foreign policytowards the transformations occurred. The aim of this paper is to understand and situate Turkishdiscourse about Arab upheavals in the international environment, specifically in UN General Assembly.Through asking “how” questions, the construction and hierarchical positioning of different actors inthe process will seek to be analyzed. The concepts of “presupposition”, “predication” and “subjectpositioning”, which were borrowed from Roxanne Lynn Doty, will be used as analytical categories toprovide a textual framework. The representational practices through which meaning are generated isimportant in this study. Accordingly, the discursive identities produced by Turkish elites with theirspeech acts will be examined throughout the time in order to understand the attachments to varioussocial objects and subjects in the region. Thus, both continuity and change within the Turkish discoursewould be put forward.Conference Object Bir Dış Politika Aracı Olarak Kültürel Diplomasi: Fırsatlar ve Sınırlar(Galatasaray Üniversitesi, 2019) Cansu, GüleçBu çalışma bir dış politika aracı olarak kültürel diplomasiyikavramsal ve pratik yönleriyle analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Kültüreldiplomasi, bir devletin dış politika hedeflerini ve diplomatik ilişkilerinidesteklemek amacıyla gerçekleştirdiği kültürel faaliyetleri kapsamaktadır.Diplomasi, devletlerin çıkarlarını temsil etmelerinde çok önemli biraraç olarak kabul edilmektedir.

This article aims to analyse the complex relationship between the local inhabitants’ belonging and spatial practices by referring to the idea of in-betweenness. The article uses the notion of in-between border space to understand the Bedouins’ changing identity formations within a given spatial situation, as well as to trace the Egyptian State’s spatial variations in achieving social control within its territory. It is argued that the decades-long marginalization and oppression of the Bedouins by the Egyptian State turned their borderland region into a space of resistance and leaded to the forming of spatio-temporal identities in-between border space in the northern Sinai.Book Part Citation - WoS: 3Turkey's Eu Membership Process in the Aftermath of the Gezi Protests(Amsterdam Univ Press, 2015) Saatçioğlu, BekenIn May 2013, a small group of protesters made camp in Istanbul's Taksim Square, protesting the privatisation of what had long been a vibrant public space. When the police responded to the demonstration with brutality, the protests exploded in size and force, quickly becoming a massive statement of opposition to the Turkish regime. This book assembles a collection of field research, data, theoretical analyses, and cross-country comparisons to show the significance of the protests both within Turkey and throughout the world.Conference Object Business People in War Times, the ‘shy Capital’ and Diaspora Business: the Case of Syrian Refugees in Turkey(2019) Görmüş, Evrim; Akçalı, EmelThis presentation focuses on the Syrian capital flight to Turkey to examine the capacity and/or willingness of the Syrian diaspora business community to organize themselves as interest groups regarding their political and economic interests in Turkey, and to assist the process of conflict resolution and post-conflict reconstruction in Syria with a focus on remittances, philanthropy work and participation in peace processes etc.The presentation is based on fieldwork carried out inIstanbul, Adana, Mersin, Hatay, Gaziantep and Bursa, where the majority of the Syrian business is located. We conducted a total of 35 individual semi-structured in-depth interviews with Syrian businesspeople, civil society representatives and local chamber of commerce officials in August-October 2018. Based on the findings of our fieldwork, we argue that the patterns of the Syrian business diaspora engagement in Turkey are mainly shaped by the spatial elements, such as the increasing transnationalization of economic practices in the course of the protracted conflict as well as the historical legacies of state, business and market structure in the pre-war Syria.Conference Object Bedouins and In-Between Border Space in Northern Sinai(2018) Görmüş, EvrimThe northern Sinai as interstice space of contestation offers useful insights concerning the relation between the dynamics of power and resistance.
