Après avoir traité des problématiques traditionnelles articulant le genre et la politique (allant de la représentation politique des femmes aux transformations du régime genré), en sa deuxième année, le séminaire Genre et politique en Turquie contemporaine continue à interroger les fondamentaux de la recherche située : située à la fois au sein d’une réflexion sur les aires culturelles (incluant l’espace kurde, de la Turquie, et diasporique), à cheval sur plusieurs disciplines (pour l’essentiel sciences politiques, sociologie et anthropologie) et couvrant plusieurs champs d’études comme le genre, la politique et la mémoire. Le prisme de l’engagement continue de constituer le fil rouge à travers les séances. Il permet d’interroger le rapport entre la représentation politique et la gouvernance autoritaire, le renforcement du mouvement des femmes concomitant au rétrécissement de l’espace politique, ainsi que les polémiques genrées entourant le mouvement kurde. Le séminaire vise à offrir une plateforme de discussion autour de la plus récente recherche en matière du genre et de la politique en Turquie contemporaine. Il se tâche à le faire de trois manières : d’abord en traitant les problématiques énoncées supra dans le programme des séances, puis en accueillant les jeunes chercheuses et chercheurs pour discuter de leurs travaux en cours et enfin en associant les participants du séminaire à l’élaboration d’un état de l’art en passant en revue les parutions récentes dans des journaux à comité de lecture.

Discussion autour du livre Rival Byzantiums. Empire and Identity in Southeastern Europe

Diana Mishkova Centre for Advanced Study, Sofia

Discussion : Agustin Cosovschi École française d’Athènes

A discussion with Diana Mishkova about her recent book Rival Byzantiums: Empire and Identity in Southeastern Europe (Cambridge University Press, 2022). The book is a comparative exploration of the way the phenomenon of Byzantium has been treated by the historiographies of the polities that have emerged from its remains – Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania and Turkey – and the way these, often warring, interpretations have been shaping the national canons of history in these countries from the Enlightenment to the present day.

Une discussion avec Diana Mishkova sur son récent livre Rival Byzantiums : Empire and Identity in Southeastern Europe (Cambridge University Press, 2022). Ce livre est une exploration comparative de la manière dont le phénomène de Byzance a été traité par les historiographies des pays qui ont émergé de ses vestiges – Grèce, Bulgarie, Serbie, Roumanie et Turquie – et de la manière dont ces interprétations, souvent contradictoires, ont façonné les canons nationaux de l’histoire dans ces pays depuis le siècle des Lumières jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

Table ronde – Behind the Numbers : Polls in Turkey’s 2023 General Elections / Table ronde – Derrière les chiffres : les sondages des élections générales de 2023 en Turquie

 27/09/2023, 6:00PM – 8:00 PM, IISMM, en hybride :  s’inscrire avant le 25/09/2023

Aydın Erdem (« analyst » chez KONDA (Research & Consultancy)

The number of polling organizations has skyrocketed in Turkey and their role in shaping the public debate has become prominent. This is particularly true for electoral issues as it has been the case during the 2023 electoral campaign. This event will unravel the way poll institutes are developing their data collection and survey production, shedding light on the methodologies employed. Moreover, we will confront the challenges, limitations, and controversies surrounding polling in the context of Turkey’s dynamic political landscape.

This round-table will provide food for thought for addressing these questions by giving the floor to a key actor of the polling industry: Aydın Erdem, analyst for KONDA (Research & Consultancy). Guided by the organizers who are all akin to the political sociology of contemporary Turkey, this meeting will ensure a much-needed dialogue between researchers and pollsters.

Moreover, this event will introduce the topic of the colloquium “Arguing with Numbers: Quantification and its Socio-political Implications in Contemporary Turkey” that will take place on Thursday 28 and Friday 29, September at IFEA.

Organisateurs: Yohanan Benhaim, Necati Mert Gümüş, Théo Malçok.

Le nombre d’instituts de sondage a explosé en Turquie et leur rôle dans l’orientation du débat public est devenu prépondérant. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour les questions électorales, comme cela a été le cas lors de la campagne électorale de 2023. Cet événement dévoilera la manière dont les instituts de sondage développent leur collecte de données et leur production d’enquêtes, en mettant en lumière les méthodologies employées. De plus, nous confronterons les défis, les limites et les controverses entourant les sondages dans le contexte du paysage politique dynamique de la Turquie.

Cette table ronde fournira des pistes de réflexion pour répondre à ces questions en donnant la parole à un acteur clé de l’industrie des sondages : Aydın Erdem, analyste pour KONDA (Research & Consultancy). Guidée par les organisateurs qui s’intéressent tous à la sociologie politique de la Turquie contemporaine, cette rencontre assurera un dialogue indispensable entre les chercheurs et les sondeurs.

De plus, cet événement introduira le thème du colloque “Argumenter avec les chiffres : Quantification and its Socio-political Implications in Contemporary Turkey” qui aura lieu les jeudi 28 et vendredi 29 septembre à l’IFEA.

International Conference: A New-Old Neighbor. Turkish Republic & the Balkans

23-25 November 2023
Panteion University (Athens, Greece)

The Turkish Republic was the last nation-state with Balkan territories to emerge out of the ashes of the collapsing Ottoman Empire, as a result of long-term painful processes (internal conflicts, military occupations, forced migration, resistance and War of Independence) and on the basis of almost total rejection of the Ottoman past. The birth of the new state had significant consequences not only for the new Turkish citizens and the Turkish and Muslim minority populations in the Balkans, but also for all Balkan peoples and, more generally, for the geopolitical balance of
power in the region. The other Balkan states — defeated Bulgaria, newborn Albania and the territorially enlarged and transformed states like Greece, Romania and Yugoslavia, as well as colonial Cyprus — experienced an equally difficult period of transition and adaptation to the interwar world, following comparable or diverse management strategies of containing socio-economic challenges and political crises. Concerning the relations between Turkey and the other post-Ottoman countries, national historiographies have traditionally focused on bilateral diplomatic relations during the interwar period or issues concerning the Muslim minorities in the Balkans, the demographic “legacy as continuity” of the Ottoman era. There is room for fresh and innovative approaches to research on these issues. Yet, the conference aims to shift attention to the intellectual, cultural, social, and economic processes involving varying kinds of collective and individual actors and their reception of the emergence of the Turkish Republic in the various Balkan societies, and more specifically: Continuer la lecture de International Conference: A New-Old Neighbor.

Turkey and/in the Balkans: Turkish power projections, transnational Islam, and social linkages

CEST Summer School in Venice / 6 – 14 August 2023

Convened by Kerem Öktem (Ca’ Foscari) and Elise Massicard (CNRS/CERI SciencesPo)

The third CEST Summer School is dedicated to the connectivities between Turkey and Southeast Europe and particularly to Turkey’s complex and contested presence in the Balkans. Our aim is to bring together PhD candidates and young scholars working on the multi-level and multi-scalar linkages between Turkey and Balkan countries with
significant Muslim communities. Our perspective is interdisciplinary and informed by anthropological approaches, history, as well as political science and international politics research as long as they share an in-depth / ‘politics from below’ perspective. Students working in the field of migration and diaspora studies, as well as religious studies, are also encouraged to apply. Our scope is inclusive both in terms of geography (including Greece, Cyprus, and Romania) and in our thematic focus, ranging from projects examining local dynamics (Turkish migration to/presence in SEE countries, migration from SEE to Turkey, projects and investments by Turkish religious and other key actors, local
contestations, memories, and representations) to regional and global interactions (bi- and multilateral relations and cooperation).

1922: In the Wake of the Death of an Empire: The archival journey of entrenched post-Ottoman minorities Workshop for scholars and archivists

Place: Istanbul, Turkey (Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations-ANAMED, Koç University)
Date: October 6, 2023
Deadline for submission: 30/03/2023

St. Sepulcre façade portes et personnages militaires, A. Reid. The Lenkin Family Collection of Photography, University of Pennsylvania Libraries

How does one apprehend the lives of Eastern Mediterranean minorities who managed, or were allowed to stay where they resided despite the upheavals brought by the collapse of the Ottoman Empire? On the face of it, the task might appear easier than the one facing scholars of actively persecuted populations. Traumatic events like the massacres and expulsions of Muslim and Christian populations from the Balkans and Anatolia that have marked the abolition of the Sultanate never say their name -often given to them subsequently by historians or activists- in the written record. The latter’s destruction was often indeed planned, an integral part of the nationalistic demographic engineering at work in these events. By contrast “minorities,” as were sometimes designated after the Great War ethnically distinct groups allowed to remain in the successor states of the Ottoman empire, are much more visible in the archive. Indeed, official concerns regarding their size, wealth, activities, and indeed loyalty, meant that they were constantly surveilled. In this sense, the written record contributed very much to fabricating minorities, namely discrete, legible, and ultimately controllable groups. This was not a uniquely top-down process, however. Minority groups themselves, using the official channels of communication available to them, and performing -sometimes tactically- the social function they had been ascribed as a strategy of survival in their interactions with state authorities or official and unofficial third parties, participated in the entrenchment of their identity.
