Recenzii
"An unforgettable ethnography of a nation-state whose special status sharpens our eyes to the make-believe quality of every state. Yael Navaro-Yashins evocative writing brings to life the scarred landscapes of Northern Cyprus and the affective worlds of Turkish-Cypriots who inhabit themuncomfortable with looted and abandoned objects, melancholic about the ruins of war and the ghostly Greek presence, and cynical about the banal apparatus of the state, whether its documents, laws, or occupations. Intimate conversations with philosophers and theorists weave in and out of profound ruminations on the details of peoples interactions with their pregnant material worlds in this unique study that reveals anthropologys incisive beauty. Lila Abu-Lughod, Columbia University
"Can the experience of citizenship in an illegitimate state reveal something about state-making more generally? In her insightful account of Northern Cyprus as make believe space, Yael Navaro-Yashin traces the diverse practicesimaginative, material, and affectivethat craft this de facto polity, both as fantasy, and as tangible truth. In the process, she offers profound insight into what it is that makes nation-states believable everywhere. Jean Comaroff, University of Chicago
"Navaro-Yashins sustained study of the effects of war, displacement, political authoritarianism, and the existential gap between officially sanctioned and actually lived sentiments is not only convincing in its theoretical acuity, breadth, and originality, but it also plays the role of an intervention in its own right through its meticulous witnessing of the suffering of her informants and of their human dignity in the aftermath of terror and in the midst of adversity. Navaro-Yashin makes bold claims for the significance of this work, over and above the Northern Cyprus question, for anthropological theory more broadly, but she has not been bold enough: this is a book that goes beyond the confines of anthropology to shed light upon the human condition in the era of the nation-state." - Nicolas Argenti, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, 19, 405-441 2013

Descriere
This is an anthropological look at the Turkish territory of Northern Cyprus, a self-defined state, which is actually imaginary (because it is only recognized by Turkey). Where Greek and Turkish Cypriots once lived historically side by side, now only the Turks remain. Navaro-Yashin surveys the affective landscape, examining the sense of haunted property and objects lost and gained in the partition, along with peoples relation to the fictive remapping of places and history by this new state. The author is a highly regarded theorist, and her innovative joining of a biopolitics of the state and affect theory should make this an influential work of anthropology.
