The Politics of Culture in Turkey, Greece & Cyprus: Performing the Left Since the Sixties: Routledge Advances in Mediterranean Studies
Editat de Leonidas Karakatsanis, Nikolaos Papadogiannisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 dec 2019
This book explores the intersection between the politics and cultures of the Left since the sixties in Turkey, Greece and Cyprus. With the use of 12 case studies, the contributors expose the moments in which the Left has been claimed and performed, not only through political manifestos and traditional political boundaries, but also through corporeal acts, discursive practices and affective encounters. These are all transformed into distinct modalities of everyday life and conduct, which are commemorated, narrated or sung, versed, painted, or captured in photographic images and on reels of tape. By focusing on culture and performance, this book highlights the complex link between nationalism and internationalism in left-wing cultures, and illuminates the entanglements between the ways in which left-wingers experienced transitions from dictatorship to democracy and vice versa.
As the first book to analyse cultures and performances of the Left in the three countries, The Politics of Culture in Turkey, Greece and Cyprus causes a rethinking of the boundaries of political practice and fosters new understandings of the formation of diverse expressions of the Left. As such, it will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of cultural and social anthropology, modern European history and political science.

Recenzii
In this edited volume, Leonidas Karakatsanis and Nikolaos Papadogiannis have brought together more than a dozen scholars who have been contributing immensely to different fields of social sciences for over a decade. This is not just another book on the emergence of nationalism in these countries or their similarities and differences. This book sheds light on understudied but extremely important issues such as the ‘intersection’ between the politics and cultures of the Left in Turkey, Greece and Cyprus...All in all, I would say this has been one of the most original books I have read on these three countries.
