La fabrique du ‘soldat-citoyen’ à travers la conscription en Turquie

Sümbül Kaya

This paper examines how the disciplinary mechanisms of the Turkish army can produce a transformation in the habitus of the conscripts. As a total institution, the military institution integrates and normalizes the conscripts through rites, control of time, horizontal surveillance between conscripts, and corporal punishments. The paper argues that the effects of military service are, nonetheless, not homogenous. This is primarily because of differences in the initial social profile of the consc (...)

The Nation’s Imprint: Demographic Engineering and the Change of Toponymes in Republican Turkey

Kerem Öktem

This paper discusses demographic engineering and the renaming of places as closely interrelated policies of nationalising states seeking to increase their hold over contested territories. Such policies comprise destructive –deportation, ethnic cleansing, population exchange– as well as constructive aspects, such as the establishment of national institutions, and the creation of narratives, foundational myths and toponymes. It argues that emerging nation-states in Southeast Europe in the late n (...)

Call for papers. EJTS Special Issue. Spring 2010.(Re)Considering the Labor Movement in Turkey

Overview : The labor movement in Turkey has never enjoyed a prominent position within Turkish Studies.   Yet, labor activism in Turkey dates back to the late Ottoman Empire; it was part of the early Republican era; it played an important part in shaping the major political events and tensions during the 1960s and 1970s; and as recent May Day demonstrations highlight, state-labor relations remain an important and tense part of Turkish politics.  Perhaps because of the importance of Kurdish and I (...)

Pluralité des rapports aux normes professionnelles et politisation des pratiques dans la police turque des années 1970

Benjamin Gourisse

This paper analyses the way Turkish policemen were politicized in the 1970s. It relies on the study of interns’ socialization into the police force. The article first examines some of the different paths by which individuals became police in order to understand why new recruits entered the force, and why some failed to integrate into institutional norms. Secondly, the article examines the working conditions of the police, suggesting that factors such as poor pay and insufficient resources (veh (...)

Une institution en formation : la police ottomane à l’époque d’Abdülhamid II

Noémi Lévy

Officially created in 1845, the Ottoman police was an institution in the process of formation until the end of the 19 th century. I focus here on the Hamidian regime (1876-1909), examining how this institution was created and how it was integrated into Ottoman urban society. The point is to understand how the police became an essential and legitimate actor in the enforcement of public order in both the Ottoman Empire and, later, the Republic of Turkey. The article further examines how the pol (...)

Geographies of Nationalism and Violence: Rethinking Young Turk ‘Social Engineering’

Uğur Ümit Üngör

This article addresses population politics in the broader Young Turk era (1913-1950), which included genocide, deportation, and forced assimilation of various minority populations. The article opens with an account of the genesis of the concept ‘social engineering’ and provides a synopsis of the literature in the field of Young Turk population politics. It then focuses on the implementation of these nationalist population politics in the eastern provinces to exemplify these policies in detail. (...)

Surveillances croisées et rivalité gréco-turque en Thrace occidentale : entre coercition et contrôle social

Jeanne Hersant

This article examines the construction of a Turkish minority in Western Thrace from a historical perspective. It suggests that the identification of Turks in Thrace as a minority is due, first, to the fact that Greek authorities impeded the economic development of the region and its Muslim minority, and, second, to the Turkish state's promotion of Turkish national identity among this minority. In other words, this article deals with two concurrent state policies in Western Thrace, with particu (...)

Surveiller, normaliser, réprimer

Gilles Dorronsoro , Olivier Grojean et Jeanne Hersant

[1] En rupture avec les courants philosophiques postulant un individu a-historique, un des développements les plus fertiles de la pensée contemporaine a placé la production des individus au centre de ses questionnements. Ce dossier 1 a pour vocation de s’interroger sur les dimensions spécifiques de ce processus au sein des institutions qui surveillent, normalisent, répriment les individus, qu’ils soient engagés dans une institution ou au contraire objet du travail de celle-ci. A partir de te (...)

Removal of American Indians, destruction of Ottoman Armenians. American missionaries and demographic engineering

Hans-Lukas Kieser

This article describes and compares two distinct instances of removal of a people from its native land. The removals in question were organized at different times by two different states, one a rising, the other a crumbling power. The removals had different dimensions, but were both claimed to be unavoidable for state building. The same organization, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mission (ABCFM), was a privileged witness and an outspoken critic of both: the removal of the Ame (...)
