Hande SÖZER: THE “EUROPEAN REFUGEE CRISIS” AS THE CRISIS OF LIBERAL TOLERANCE: THREE MODALITIES OF LIBERAL EXCLUSIONABSTRACT. This article examines European residential responses to migrations after 2015. The literature meticulously analyzes their historically-contextually changing variances and inner diversities while imposing a binary view: the anti-immigration response is the negation, and the solidarity response is the affirmation of liberal tolerance. Contrarily, I argue that both responses utilize the liberal tolerance idea and its operational principles. First, they border the European Self and the migrant Other; re-border “the intolerable”...
Tuğba GÜRÇEL AKDEMİR: DIFFERENT THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES TO SECULARIZATION AND THE IMPACT OF MIGRATION ON FUTURE RELIGIOSITY OF EUROPEABSTRACT. Secularization versus religious revival debate has been shifted to another dimension with the mass migration targeting Europe because of the conflicts in the Middle East.

This study delineates the secularization debate for evaluating the recent trend of migration within this rather neglected scope. The main argument is that among the secularization theories, religious market model and exist...

Tuba KANCI & Umutcan TARCAN: BODY, ABJECTION, AND THE PATRIARCHAL DOMINATION (Turkish)ABSTRACT. In Julia Kristeva’s psychoanalytic theory, abjection does not only reveal the interactions of the body with the conscious and unconscious; but also reveals the patriarchal domination of body imagery. Kristeva uses abjection as a phenomenological subject and examines its effects on experiences from a post-feminist perspective. According to them, the experiences that emerge under patriarchal domination are vulgar and marginalized movements that fade in material existence, just like the “wastes” of the body. This study a...

Behind this period of transformations, there lies a painful process of criticism and self-reflection. This study will map out the area ...
