In particular, we will seek to address how the practices and discourses of resistance and assertion that have emerged among these groups challenge and transform collective identities, notions of political and social citizenship, processes of class formation and class-based politics, and extant modes and modalities of political mobilization. We invite empirically grounded and theoretically informed papers that focus on political mobilization and collective agency among a wide range of actors, including but not restricted to: irregular migrants, asylum seekers and refugees, transnational religious communities, migrant workers, minority groups in the global North and the global South, and transnational solidarity networks grounded in migrant and diasporic communities.

These new and old forms of incarceration are either enforced by outside agencies such as in the refugee camp, through systemic discrimination in the ghetto or by temporary detention and isolation in asylum centers. These are not traditional environments, but artificial “Nowherevilles” and “Non-Places” seeking to contain, manage and control surplus populations – those we do not need or cannot otherwise control. Typologically diverse, camps, ghettos and asylum centers are all marked by insecurity, surveillance and segregation where residents live in what could be called a “permanent state of emergency”. This also includes other forms of “biopolitical” spaces such as the hyperghetto, inner-city slums and (concentration) camps theorized by scholars such as Loïc Wacquant, Philippe Bourgois and Giorgio Agamben. This thematic area invites empirically grounded contributions from all disciplines that examine one or more of these Foucauldian “crisis heterotopias”; the spaces where residents remain socially and physically segregated from majority society. In particular we invite contributions that critically examine heterotopias; their histories, narratives, production, modes of governance, legality and livelihoods.

  • Turkmen of Iraq
    Turkmen of Iraq By Mofak Salman Kerkuklu 1 Mofak Salman Kerkuklu Turkmen of Iraq Dublin –Ireland- 2007 2 The Author Mofak Salman Kerkuklu graduated in England with a BSc Honours in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Oxford Brookes University and completed MSc’s in both Medical Electronic and Physics at London University and a MSc in Computing Science and Information Technology at South Bank University. He is also a qualified Charter Engineer from the Institution of Engineers of Ireland. Mr. Mofak Salman is an author of a book “ Brief History of Iraqi Turkmen”. He is the Turkmeneli Party representative for both Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. He has written a large number of articles that were published in various newspapers. 3 Purpose and Scope This book was written with two clear objectives. Firstly, to make an assessment of the current position of Turkmen in Iraq, and secondly, to draw the world’s attention to the situation of the Turkmen. This book would not have been written without the support of Turkmen all over the world. I wish to reveal to the world the political situation and suffering of the Iraqi Turkmen under the Iraqi regime, and to expose Iraqi Kurdish bandits and reveal their premeditated plan to change the demography of the Turkmen-populated area. I would like to dedicate this book to every Turkmen who has been detained in Iraqi prisons; to Turkmen who died under torture in Iraqi prisons; to all Turkmen whose sons and daughters were executed by the Iraqi regime; to all Turkmen who fought and died without seeing a free Turkmen homeland; and to the Turkmen City of Kerkuk, which is a bastion of cultural and political life for the Turkmen resisting the Kurdish occupation.

    December 2016 Volume: 6, No: 2, pp. 325 – 336 ISSN: 2046-4436 e-ISSN: 2046-4444 tplondon.com/bordercrossing Article history: Received 27 July 2016 Accepted 27 August 2016 Meaning and Functions of Norwegian-Turkish Vernacular Space in Drammen, Norway Karolina Nikielska-Sekula± Abstract This paper discusses the functions and meaning of Norwegian-Turkish vernacular space in Norway. Employing the Foucauldian concept of heterotopia, it analyzes Turkish ethnic clubs in Drammen - a midsized city situated in the western part of Norway. In 2013, 25% of the city’s inhabitants were of an immigrant background with the majority (13.5%) being of Turkish origin (Høydahl, 2014). Most of them arrived in the city as “guest workers” in the late 1960s and 1970s, and were followed afterwards by other members of their families. Due to their prolonged residence, they have managed to make an imprint on the city’s landscape. This study shows that Norwegian-Turkish ethnic clubs are heterotopias of Norwegian society, in a Foucauldian understanding of the term. They embody practices, discourses and signs of identity originating from Turkey, being at the same time ordered by the rules of Norwegian society. I argue that those transnational spaces, labeled as “foreign,” and linked to Turkey, bear strong influences from the host society and should be regarded as Norwegian-Turkish, rather than Turkish. Keywords: heterotopia; immigrant neighborhoods; Norway; Turkey; vernacular space. Introduction Migratory processes from Turkey to Europe has gained a wide attention from the academia after 1960s wave of guest workers migration. Among the studies focusing on Turks in Europe, an important branch of research was dedicated to various aspects of Turkish run businesses and so-called immigrant neighborhoods populated by people of Turkish origin.

  • Summary- ORSAM Türkmeneli Co-Operation & Cultural Foundation CENTER for MIDDLE EASTERN STRATEGIC STUDIES (ORSAM) Center for Mıddle Eastern Strategıc Studıes
    -Summary- ORSAM Türkmeneli Co-operation & Cultural Foundation CENTER FOR MIDDLE EASTERN STRATEGIC STUDIES (ORSAM) Center For Mıddle Eastern Strategıc Studıes Center for Middle Eastern Strategic Studies (ORSAM) was established in November 2008 and specifically concentra- ted on Middle Eastern and Eurasian studies. ORSAM’s studies are sponsored by The Turkmeneli Cooperation and Cul- ture Foundation. ORSAM’s View of the Middle Eastern and Eurasian World In fact, both the Middle Eastern and Eurasian territories are harbors to several relevant problems. But neither the Midd- le East and Eurasia, nor its people should be convicted to adopt an image that is identified with negative complications. With the support of their people, Middle Eastern and Eurasian states do have the potential to stimulate their interior dynamics and to launch a peaceful mobilization for development. To show respect to the people’s will to live together, to show respect to the sovereign rights of the states and essential rights and freedoms of the individuals, are the principals of building domestic and international peace. In this context, Turkey must continue to make contributions for the pros- perity of her near surroundings. ORSAM’s Studies as a Think-Tank In order to adopt an appropriate approach towards regional developments, ORSAM provides the public opinion and the decision-making units with guiding information about international politics, consistent with the perceptions regarding the Middle East and Eurasia. It presents ideas involving alternative options. In order to present efficient solutions, OR- SAM encourages studies of capable researchers and intellectuals of different disciplines. Having strong organizational capabilities, ORSAM encourages the development of relevant Middle Eastern and Eurasian literature domestically & in- ternationally and supports the sharing of knowledge and ideas with the Turkish and international public by welcoming statesmen, bureaucrats, academics, strategists, businessmen, journalists and NGO representatives to Turkey.

  • The Role of Cultural Heritage in the Creation of a Sense of Belonging Among Young Norwegian Turks: Boundary Making and Crossing
    THE ROLE OF CULTURAL HERITAGE IN THE CREATION OF A SENSE OF BELONGING AMONG YOUNG NORWEGIAN TURKS: BOUNDARY MAKING AND CROSSING KAROLINA NIKIELSKA-SEKULA1 Abstract: This paper discusses the importance that cultural heritage has for Norwegians of Turkish decent when it comes to negotiating both their belonging and the concept of home. The role of heritage in making and crossing the boundaries of ethnicity is also discussed here. I argue that Norwegian Turks have developed a multi-layered sense of belonging based on the identification with groups and places located both in Turkey and in Norway. They participate in Norwegian society while identifying themselves as Turks and negotiations of cultural heritage contribute to the preservation of consistent image of themselves as they adopt common Norwegian lifestyles. Keywords: Belonging, Cultural Heritage, Turkey, Norway, Alevi, Sunni. Summary: I. INTRODUCTION; II. FROM TURKEY TO NORWAY; III. NORWEGIAN TURKS IN DRAMMEN; IV. ETHODOLOGY; V. HERITAGE AND BELONGING. BOUNDARY MAKING AND CROSSING; V.1. Dual Belonging; V.2. Dual (non)belonging; V.3. Heritage: boundary making and crossing; VI. CONCLUSIONS. I. INTRODUCTION In his book “The Perils of Belonging: Autochthony, Citizenship, and Exclusion in Africa and Europe”, Peter Geschiere (2009)points out that in Europe we are currently witnessing a shift towards an autochthonic interpretation of belonging according to which the rightful inhabitants of the territory are those who have been bounded to the land across generations. Consequently, immigrants have a limited access to membership of autochthonous communities of Europe, despite the existence of available opportunities of obtaining European citizenships. The othering processes are extended to immigrants` children who have been born and raised in the new homelands, but are still stigmatised as “foreign”.
