In its simultaneous disavowal and inheritance of it, this was the new Republic of Turkey, founded in 1923. Nation-states are areas of ideological contestation. However, they are equally visible and tangible. This is thanks to the making of a new world of artefacts in build or print that represent and commemorate them in many, often contradicting ways through design practices. This book offers a thorough account of this new Turkish material world through the trajectories of commemoration; from public monuments, print media, and festive illumination to temporary and permanent architecture from the onset of the 1908 Young Turk revolution to the demise of Turkey's founding single-party regime in the late 1950s. If objects are silent actors of history, their confessions await.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emin Artun Ozguner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526176238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526176233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Emin Artun Ozguner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48114121965823,"sku":"9781526176233","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96219f95-4e85-491d-9663-0d6afa35ec1c.jpg?v=1769619249","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/confessions-of-monuments-emin-artun-ozguner-9781526176233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
