Türklük Sözleşmesi

Most of the time, we are not even aware of the factors that determine our daily behavior, the way we act, the performances we show when socializing, the way we speak and even the way we remain silent. However, these affect not only our daily lives, but also our political positions and preferences in the long memory of history. The Turkishness Convention reflects on the political meanings of this blindness, which is often experienced at an unconscious level.
Barış Ünlü presents Turkey's unwritten main constitution, that is, the Turkish Convention , in the context of its historical framework, modes of operation, privileges it creates, performances it requires, problems it raises and the crisis it faces. Ünlü, who deals with various issues from Turkey's bleeding wound, the Kurdish Question and the Armenian Genocide, to Academics for Peace, within a comprehensive framework ranging from whiteness studies to the sociology of emotions, clearly explains how even people standing at very different points of the political spectrum can find the same denominator "when the time comes". It reveals it in some way.
This book, which destroys the self-myths lumped together under the name of " Turkishness ", is an iron roasted chickpea that invites its readers to question daily behavior patterns, rituals and performances, a History of Turkey in its negative.
