New Publication by Umut Can Adısönmez: "The abject other in Turkish politics: populist securitization, affect, and the Victory Party"
In this new article, Dr. Umut Can Adısönmez collaborated with Ceren Melis Kıcıroğlu (Istanbul University) and Erman Ermihan (Bilkent University), exploring the populist securitization of migration in Turkey. It examines this case through Julia Kristeva’s concept of abjection, claiming that refugees are discursively constructed as the ‘abject other,’ contaminating the imagined national body. The findings of this study also reveal an interesting paradox: far-right actors in Turkey remain electorally weak yet discursively hegemonic, illuminating affect-driven populist securitization in non-Western contexts and its global implications.
