In Turkey politics is often emotional and emotions are highly politicised.
However, a closer look at public and political expressions of emotions
shows that distinctive emotions show salience at different decades and
under different political projects. In other words, emotions are
historically, politically, and socially situated. Passionately felt as well
as despised emotions are closely connected to micro and macro developments
people find themselves in. This plenary and the symposium it accompanies
aim to have a closer look at the politics of emotions and affect from an
interdisciplinary perspective. We seek to inquire the emotional and
affective aspects of the political, social, economic, religious, and
artistic fields in Turkey and its connected geographies. Our focus is
on the often invisible but highly effective hierarchies that structure the
various emotions arising from these fields and geographies. We ask, which
emotions are sanctioned or even actively cultivated and when? Which
emotions are rendered inappropriate or unacceptable and for whom? Among the
various relevant emotions, we are curious to explore the trajectories of
the following: fear, pride, hope, love, guilt, denial, resentment, anger,
suspicion, belonging, compassion, empathy, humiliation, respect, and trust.
This event has been conceived in collaboration with CEST (the Consortium
for European Symposia on Turkey) and supported by Stiftung Mercator.
As ever, admission is free, open to all, and on a first-come-first-served
basis.

Many thanks for your interest.
All the best
