CALL FOR PAPERS:
Protest and Movement Research on Turkey: Performances, Representations, Rituals
Location: Universty of Hamburg
Date: 14-17 September, 2016
Organisation: Dr. Berna Pekesen
Deadline for the proposals: March 1, 2016
The panel attempts to gather various perspectives and disciplines researching on protest and social movements on Turkey since the 1960s (including labor, leftist, women´s, youth and Gezi Park movement) or other related and comparative works and subjects. Original work and case studies are most welcome. Since historical movement research on Turkey is rather an under-researched field, the panel aims to discuss both the empirical analysis as well as theoretical reflection. This includes reflecting upon the outcomes on similar works on global currents throughout history. What can we learn from international research and what explanatory force might these have on our own studies?
The panel will be conducted in German. English presentations are also welcome. Each paper will be given 20 minutes for presentation. Please submit your abstract (300-500 words) in German or English including a short CV by email to Berna.pekesen@uni-hamburg.de
