Upon the tenth anniversary of the Gezi protests, the book takes upon the task of critically re-examining the social uprising of June 2013 in Turkey by compensating for blind spots in the academic corpus hitherto generated. This volume braves into subjects largely neglected by the extant scholarship, in particular, the organizational aspects of the Gezi upheaval, which bear heavily on the course of social and political affairs that has since taken dramatic turns. By delving into the question of political practice, whether on the part of the state, the government or the opposition, the book re-evaluates how the emergent collective momentum was managed by the contesting parties. In other words, the volume concentrates on the multifaceted political organizing of social forces in conflict both during and in the aftermath of the protests. Contributors are: Athina Arampatzi, Gökhan Atılgan, Özgür Balkılıç, Selin Dingiloğlu, Antoine Dolcerocca, Çağlar Dölek, Kürşad Ertuğrul, Ufuk Gürbüzdal, Ezgi Kaya Hayatsever, Eren Karaca, Sebla Ayşe Kazancı, Arca Özçoban, Ezgi Pınar, Sungur Savran, Ozan Siso, Aylin Topal, Fatih Yaşlı and Adem Yeşilyurt.

Mic check! Mic check! Lacking amplification in Zuccotti Park, Occupy Wall Street protestors addressed one another by repeating and echoing speeches throughout the crowd. In Occupy, W. J. T. Mitchell, Bernard E. Harcourt, and Michael Taussig take the protestors’ lead and perform their own resonant call-and-response, playing off of each other in three essays that engage the extraordinary Occupy movement that has swept across the world, examining everything from self-immolations in the Middle East to the G8 crackdown in Chicago to the many protest signs still visible worldwide. “You break through the screen like Alice in Wonderland,” Taussig writes in the opening essay, “and now you can’t leave or do without it.” Following Taussig’s artful blend of participatory ethnography and poetic meditation on Zuccotti Park, political and legal scholar Harcourt examines the crucial difference between civil and political disobedience. He shows how by effecting the latter—by rejecting the very discourse and strategy of politics—Occupy Wall Street protestors enacted a radical new form of protest. Finally, media critic and theorist Mitchell surveys the global circulation of Occupy images across mass and social media and looks at contemporary works by artists such as Antony Gormley and how they engage the body politic, ultimately examining the use of empty space itself as a revolutionary monument. Occupy stands not as a primer on or an authoritative account of 2011’s revolutions, but as a snapshot, a second draft of history, beyond journalism and the polemics of the moment—an occupation itself.

While the Justice and Development Party (AKP) has dominated Turkish politics for a decade and a half, recent years have seen a qualitative change, culminating in the 2017 referendum on the move to a presidential system. This volume focuses on the later years of AKP rule after the first direct presidential election in 2014. It shows how during this period the AKP has changed the political system and societal dynamics, maintained its electoral predominance, and ultimately opened the way for regime change. This collection of key chapters offers indispensable reading for everyone who wants to understand current Turkish politics and the continued hegemony of the AKP in the country’s political life. Chapters 2–10 previously published as articles (Vol 19: issue 2 to Vol 22: issue 3) in South European Society and Politics.

Arter initiated a new publication series, ARTER BACKGROUND, in 2019 to accompany exhibitions drawn from its collection, which holds around 1,400 works of art. This third book in the series accompanies the collection-based group exhibition On Celestial Bodies, opened at Arter in September 2020. In the book, excerpts of texts selected around the ideas active in the curatorial process put in practice by Kevser Güler are complemented by new essays written specifically for this context. While the exhibition deals with the ways that beings come together and disperse, the manners through which they build relations, and their ways of distancing and converging with each other, the accompanying publication, through its distinctive editorial structure, features textual and visual content pointing towards questions of materiality, embodiment and objecthood, as well as spatial, temporal, social, historical and political forms of gathering and being together. with contributions by Jean-Christophe Ammann • Kerem Ozan Bayraktar • Oliver Bendorf • Kate Briggs • Bazon Brock • Johannes Bruder • John Cage • Sevinç Çalhanoğlu • Asaf Hâlet Çelebi • Lydia Davis • Burak Delier • Gaye Çankaya Eksen • Irmgard Emmelhainz • Reha Erdem • İris Ergül • Süreyyya Evren • Susanne Von Falkenhausen • Carlos Gamerro • Maya Indira Ganesh • Elizabeth Grosz • Kevser Güler • Nilüfer Güngörmüş • Georges Didi-Huberman • Reha Keskin • Serdar Koçak • Elke Krasny • Clarice Lispector • Doreen Massey • Rubén Mira • Robert Morris • Victoria Noorthoorn • Abdullah Onay • Göze Orhon • Bernardo Ortiz Campo • Esra Özdoğan • Silva Özyerli • Marina Papazyan • Harald Szeemann • Murasaki Şikibu • Alejandro Tantanian • Tlgadintsi • Hakan Yücefer • Zahrad ARTISTS: Thomas Bayrle Elina Brotherus Annabel Daou A K Dolven Aleksandar Dimitrijević Terry Fox Naomi Wanjiku Gakunga Ludwig Gosewitz Shilpa Gupta Nilbar Güreş Altan Gürman Asta Gröting Gülsün Karamustafa Suchan Kinoshita Milan Knížák Igor Kopystiansky Alicja Kwade Nicholas Mangan Vlado Martek Aydan Murtezaoğlu Alice Nikitinová Füsun Onur Fernando Ortega Serkan Özkaya Ebru Özseçen Karin Sander Monika Sosnowska Mariana Vassileva
