Öğe Euro-Türkler(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2005-08) Kaya, Ayhan; Kentel, Ferhat[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Euro-Turks: A bridge or a breach between turkey and the European Union? A comparative study of French-Turks and German-Turks(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2005-01-01) Kaya, Ayhan; Kentel, FerhatWill migrants of Turkish origin and their descendants, also known as ‘Euro-Turks’, act as a vanguard or an impediment in Turkey’s desire to join the EU? To challenge the stereotypes of Euro-Turks both in their homeland and in their countries of settlement, extensive research has been carried out in Germany and France by the Centre for Migration Research in Istanbul. Based on extensive interviews and a broad survey of the literature, this special report reveals public opinion among the diasporic Turkish communities, gauging their political, religious and ethnic orientations as well as their attitudes towards the EU. It also seeks to determine whether diasporic Turkish communities could provide new opportunities and prospects in the formation of a more open and democratic society in Turkey. At this stage, the research reveals that there are three major groups of Euro-Turks emerging in the migratory process: bridging groups (who are affiliated with both the homeland and ‘host-land’) breaching groups (who still have a strong orientation to the homeland) and assimilated groups. The authors, who are professors at Bilgi University in Istanbul, highlight how Euro-Turks demonstrate the fact that Europeanness is not a prescribed identity, but an ongoing process of being and becoming.Öğe From Ghetto to Interculturality: Euro-Turkish Experiences in Germany and France(Fundacio Cidob, 2006) Kentel, FerhatThis article is based on a research project carried out among Turkish immigrants in Germany and France. It deals with showing the multiplicity of identity formation, depending on generations, but, above all, the new experiences of the Turkish communities, namely, in a range from being self-enclosed to total assimilation in the case of citizen of the French Republic and German culturalism. In this range, what enriches the debate on identities and the issue of integration is, above all, these identities in movement which, up until now, have been perceived as indices of the inability of the actors in situ. This article attempts to demonstrate that, far from being a question of inability, it is a matter of new tactics of superseding the modernist structures, unable to satisfy the existence of the diaspora. Thus, while the individuals in the immigrant communities enter intocultural negotiation with the society and play on the borders, in a trans-national space, they call into question modernist dichotomies and national borders and symbols. Finally, intersubjectivity and interculturality, in which these individuals fulfil themselves, bind the dissociated parts of the human being and social life and prepare the social bases of a new citizenship.Öğe Nationalist Reconstructions in the Face of the Disappearance of Borders(Fundacio Cidob, 2008) Kentel, FerhatTogether with the conflictive negotiation abouth the definition and the feeling of nation, on a strategic level, the repercussions of globalisation (and especially the negotiations with the European Union) are complicating the border issue and, as a consequence, the issue of unity (which is always in danger, according to the nationalist-Kemalist elites). The nationalist discourse is consumed on a popular level but, rather than simple consumption or pure strategic production, it is constituted as the production of different nationalisms in the tactics of everyday life. In this way, this article tackles the subject of the new nationalist productions, examining more deeply the tactics that range from survival to subversion or new religious rites in a situation of uncertainties and ambivalences brought about by globalisation, by a new encounter with the West and by the disappearance of borders.Öğe
