This book delves into the intricate realm of contemporary Turkish politics, offering a comprehensive exploration through the narrative analysis of a diverse range of texts. From political speeches to museum documents, graffiti, and posters from protests, it seeks to shed light on the complex dynamics shaping the political landscape of Turkey. By tracing the journey of political narratives and counternarratives within the Turkish context, the book aims to map the cultural terrain while paying close attention to power dynamics, resistance, and dynamism.

Through the analysis of narratives of collective memory, patriarchy, and economic development, which are deeply intertwined with Turkish culture, the book unravels the ways in which narratives shape politics. The chapters delve into various issues, including the role historical narratives play in hegemonic power struggles among political parties, the narrative resources upon which populist regimes rely, the impact of economic development narratives on prospects for and threats against democratic practices and institutions, and the ways in which protesters challenge dominant notions of citizenship through counternarratives.

By examining these narratives in depth, the book provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between culture, politics, and power in contemporary Turkey. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and policymakers interested in understanding the dynamics of contemporary politics and the role of narratives in shaping them.
