GTOT Call for Special Issue Proposals

100 years of the Republic of Turkey and the engineering of a nation

On the occasion of the centenary of the Republic of Turkey in 2023 GTOT/Diyâr. Journal of Ottoman, Turkish and Middle Eastern Studies (http://www.gtot.org/diyar/) welcomes proposals for up to two special issues that are dedicated to the trajectory of the Republic of Turkey in the past decades. Innovative ventures into understanding the Republic of Turkey in its historical, social, and cultural complexities are particularly welcome.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Transnational / global impact / perception of Kemalist Turkey
  • Beyond the center(s): Provincial Kemalism
  • Writing and printing in Kemalist Turkey
  • Transnational Histories, Cultures, and Literatures
  • Gender and Sexuality in Turkey
  • The making of religious and ethnic minorities in Modern Turkey
  • Cultural Heritage and cultural policy
  • Environmental Humanities / Environmental History
  • Political Islam, right-wing / left-wing politics
  • The 1960s - a lost chance that never existed?
  • The role of the military
  • Civil society and social transformation
  • Turkey under the AKP
  • The question of continuity from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic
  • Cultural trajectories including religious change
  • Facing trauma: Genocides and state violence in the Republic of Turkey
  • Migration, Deportation, and Exile in Turkey’s history


Guideline

The proposal for a special issue – including a description of the project (2,000–3,000 words) and either abstracts of planned contributions or a call for papers – should be submitted to the editorial board. The editorial board may express its interest in the proposal, but a final decision regarding acceptance will be based on the submission of the whole issue to the editorial board, as well as on the peer review of each submitted paper.

A special issue typically consists of 6–8 papers. A paper should normally not exceed a length of about 60,000 characters. Papers may be in English, French or German (click https://www.diyar.nomos.de/en/guidelines-for-authors/ for detailed guidelines).
