While Waiting-Knowledge of Time and Transformation of the Subject

“Waiting is an action related to time. (…) Consecutive time includes what will come after. It's a kind of waiting in time, a kind of waiting that means 'keep calm, it will come from behind'. (…) Epistemologically, the word 'waiting' has something to do with softness and calmness. A kind of tranquility, inertia, at the same time. “An action that calls for harsh inaction is actually waiting.” -Nilgün Toker

In the relationship between power and the subject, waiting, or rather being kept waiting, has a quality that forces inaction. However, the experience of waiting can lead the subject it reshapes to a new activism. How? What does waiting do to a person, how does it affect him? What emotional effects do the rhythm and routine of waiting lead to? Waiting in a state of uncertainty and constant alertness, in the face of the injustice of legal practices, "under the state of emergency policies"... The waiting of those at the court gates... The waiting of hunger strikes and death fasts... The waiting of refugees and those staying at the border or crossing the border for "settlement"... And a completely different experience: Bektashis' lodge and lodge their wait for the justice that cyclical time will bring in "collective inertia" after the closure of their zawiyas... In the compilation prepared by Zerrin Özlem Biner and Özge Biner, there are also Özlem Durmaz, Aslı İkizoğlu Erensü, Özgür Sevgi Göral, Rabia Harmanşah, Sevcan Karcı, Kemal Vural Tarlan and Nilgün Toker.
