This book provides a multidisciplinary analysis of the production
of Turkish cultural policies in the context of globalization and of
the circulation of knowledge and practices. Focusing on
circulations, the book proposes an innovative approach to the
transfer of cultural policies, considering them in terms of
co-production and synchrony. This argument is developed through an
examination of circulations at the international, national, and
local levels; employing original empirical data and case study
analyses. Divided into three parts the book first examines the
Kemalist legacy, before turning to the cultural policies developed
under the AKP's leadership, and concludes by investigating the
production of cultural policies in the outlying regions of Turkey.
The authors shed new light on the particular importance of culture
to the understanding of the societal upheavals in contemporary
Turkey. By considering exchanges as circulations rather than
one-way impositions, this book also advances our understanding of
how territories are (re)defined by culture and makes a significant
contribution to the interrogation of the concept of
"Westernization". This book brings into clear focus the
reconfigurations currently taking place in Turkish cultural policy,
demonstrating that while they are driven by the ruling party, they
are also the work of civil society actors. It convincingly argues
that an authoritarian turn need not necessarily spell the end of
the cultural scene, and highlights the innovative adaptations and
resistance strategies used in this context. This book will appeal
to students and scholars of public policy, sociology and cultural
studies.
