Bringing insights from Turkey to the study of democratization, this book argues that democracy may rather be about acknowledging the disagreement over values before negotiating over other concerns, such as rights, freedoms, capabilities, and duties. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt explores this idea by examining three landscapes of culture in Turkey, which have been the subjects of persistent stories regarding the unequal relationship between the \u003ci\u003eself\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eother\u003c\/i\u003e. These include LGBT visibility and the entertainment sector, women and clothing, and Alevism and funerals. Through these case studies, the book analyses the remaking of (in)tolerance through the integration of LGBT representations into broader political struggles over values, the assertion of women's rights and freedoms from traditional values surrounding dress, and the conflict between essentialist intolerance and the syncretic traditions of Alevi identity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBringing these landscapes together with the surrounding cultural tensions in Turkey and the West, \u003ci\u003eTracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization \u003c\/i\u003ewill be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Middle Eastern studies and politics, gender studies and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Metin Koca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032318686\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032318684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Metin Koca","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45478665715967,"sku":"9781032318684","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee81fe90-2112-411f-83fc-4328fa91ee54.jpg?v=1715935540","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tracing-cultural-change-in-turkeys-metin-koca-9781032318684","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
