20.500.12556/DiRROS-14867 The diminishing agency of urbanised Alevis against the raise of political Islam in Turkey This paper critically examines the diminishing agency of the first-urbanised Alevi generation vis- à-vis the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and their sec-tarian agenda mediated by political Islam. The conceptual position is underpinned by Foucault’s concept of governmentality and theory of agency in broader cultu-ral terms. These theoretical frameworks interweave to present a rich and complex set of snapshots that document the first-urbanised Alevi generation’s decreasing possibilities of action in the urban context. Accordingly, the empirical data that informs this piece has been collected by a series of qualitative and semi-structured interviews with the first-urbanised Alevi generation, children of those who migra-ted to urban areas in the 1960s and wittingly or unwittingly kept their identities undisclosed to varying degrees. Those interviewed come from a range of different professional backgrounds, with the only common point being that they have spent their childhoods and adult years in Istanbul, Turkey. Through a close engagement with the empirical material, this paper addresses the effects of the AKP’s Sunnifica-tion process centring around political Islam on the first generation urbanised Ale-vis and to what extent the systemic nature of this process attenuates or takes away their agency in the urban context. The account is focused around three key the-mes including daily life, institutional forms of discrimination and the workplace. Avtorica v članku kritično obravnava vse manjše delovanje prve generacije urbaniziranih alevitov proti Stranki za pravičnost in razvoj (AKP) in njenemu sektaškemu programu, ki ga narekuje politični islam. Svoje konceptualno stali-šče utemeljuje v Foucaultovem konceptu vladnosti ter teoriji delovanja v širšem kulturnem smislu. Medsebojno prepletajoča se teoretska okvirja tvorita bogat in kompleksen nabor podob, ki dokumentirajo vse manjše možnosti delovanja prve generacije urbaniziranih alevitov v urbanem okolju. Skladno z njima so bili em-pirični podatki, na katerih prispevek sloni, pridobljeni v nizu kvalitativnih in polstrukturiranih intervjujev s prvo generacijo urbaniziranih alevitov, tj. z otroki tistih, ki so se priselili v mestno okolje v 60. letih prejšnjega stoletja in so svojo identiteto nalašč ali nehote bolj ali manj skrivali. Izpraševanci prihajajo iz zelo različnih poklicnih okolij, skupno jim je zgolj to, da so otroštvo in odraslo dobo preživeli v Istanbulu, v Turčiji. Tesno navezujoč se na pridobljeno empirično gra-divo, avtorica ugotavlja, kakšni so vplivi procesa »sunifikacije« stranke AKP, osre-dinjenega na politični islam, na prvo generacijo urbaniziranih alevitov in v kolikšni meri sistematičnost tega procesa krni ali zmanjšuje moč njihovega delovanja v ur-banem kontekstu. Prispevek se osredotoča na tri ključne teme: vsakdanje življenje, institucionalne oblike diskriminacije in delovno okolje. political Islam AKP government urbanised Alevis agency AKP-jevska vlada urbanizirani aleviti aleviji delovanje true false true Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Turčija; ZRS Koper Neznano 2022-03-22 11:05:10 2022-03-22 11:05:11 2022-09-06 15:06:01 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 str. 177-200 št. 101/102 Letn. 26 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2021-12-29 323.15(560) 1318-8828 10.35469/poligrafi.2021.281 101675779 ZRSKP_Onay_Ozge_i2021.pdf ZRSKP_Onay_Ozge_i2021.pdf 1 5EAADF779D10CD6D5F6586CE64214461 3f2ec119720516e28a303f4a87d10560ca0993fd777bcf1d6216d69dcb3b37b4 dac6b996-17b6-11ed-b6b8-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=19221 https://doi.org/10.35469/poligrafi.2021.281 0 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=19220 Znanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper / Centro di Ricerche Scientifiche Capodistria 0 0 0
