SUMMARY:Annual Lecture der Studien-und Forschungsstelle Schweiz-Türkei
DESCRIPTION:This lecture addresses the problematic Turkish-Arab interface f
 rom the vantage point of fieldwork in Antakya in the period of the ongoing
  war in Syria. Public discourse in Turkey is currently infested with racis
 t references to Arabs\, particularly targeting refugees from Syria. While 
 scholars have begun to address contemporary Arabophobia in Turkey\, the lo
 nger term relationality between ‘Turkish’ and ‘Arab’ positionaliti
 es\, subject-positions\, and subjectivities remains insufficiently explore
 d. Likewise\, while ‘non-Muslims’ and Kurds have been studied extensiv
 ely in scholarly literature on ‘minorities\,’ as well as Turkish- and 
 Kurdish-speaking Alevis\, Arabness has not been addressed as a ‘minority
 ’ position in Turkey. Angling itself in the area in the circumference of
  Antakya that was incorporated by Turkey via annexation in 1939 and rename
 d ‘Hatay\,’ this lecture provides a critical reading of Turkey’s de-
 Arabization practices\, co-handed with Turkification\, from an Arab Alawi 
 point of view. The status of the Arabic language in relation to Turkish\, 
 and to inter-generationally and socially defined subjectivities in this re
 gion at Turkey’s border with Syria forms the centrepiece of my discussio
 n which will lead to contextualised reflections and analyses on Turkey fro
 m an Arab and Alawi angle.
