Turkey's Necropolitical Laboratory

de Banu Bargu

A critical and multidisciplinary analysis of role of violence and death under Turkish democracy This book makes a strong case that Turkey's regime is largely dependent on a necropolitical undercurrent. Building on the insights of critical and contemporary theory, these essays address the multiple ways in which lives are controlled through the mechanisms of physical destruction, structural violence and exposure. These necropolitical processes produce new forms of disposability, impoverishment, inequality and vulnerability.
