Article Citation - WoS: 59Citation - Scopus: 72Identifying Ottomanisms: the Discursive Evolution of Ottoman Pasts in the Turkish Presents(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015-05) Ongur, Hakan ÖvünçThis article problematizes the much-used but under-analysed concept of Ottomanism, exploring its discursive evolution from the concept's origins in the nineteenth century to its present practice. Investigating its roots in an elitist multicultural project, the paper examines its integral role as part of the opposing intellectual subculture during the early Republican era and its later re-politicization as 'neo-Ottomanism' in Turkey's ozal-era foreign policy. The current practice of 'banal Ottomanism' by the AK Party is analysed as a symbolic component of the current re-identification of Turkish society, facilitating the reintroduction of Islamic-Ottomanist traditions into everyday routines.Article Bridging the Gap Between the Particular and the Universal: an Intervention by Cemil Meric(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Ongur, Hakan Övünç; Topal, Ömer FarukThis paper investigates whether the Turkish intellectual Cemil Meric's metaphor of silent yet peaceful communication among world literature classics on the same bookshelf might be employed in international political theory in contrast to traditional cosmopolitan or communitarian approaches, which favor either the particular or the universal in constructing social actors. Reviewing Meric's works and his conceptualizations of umran and irfan, we first inspect the underlying separation between what Meric calls the processes of nationalism and nationalization. Meric defines the latter as a form of people's construction, which curiously echoes Ernesto Laclau's definition of social articulations among conflicting particularities under a universal signifier. We then attempt to extend Meric's approach toward the international in order to transcend the Westphalian tradition in international relations and to reinterpret Andrew Linklater's normative cosmopolitanism by lifting the prerequisite of dialogue among international actors for peaceful coexistence.Article Transforming Habitus of the Foreign Policy: a Bourdieusian Analysis of Turkey as an Emerging Middle Power(Rising Powers In Global Governance, 2016-12) Ongur, Hakan Övünç; Zengin, HüseyinSince the end of World War II, the infamous structure-agent problem in studies of International Relations has perhaps never been as complicated and multi-dimensional as it is today. The popular phenomenon of the emerging middle powers (EMPs) has led to further conflicts—particularly in investigating the agent dimension. EMPs have also presented a new challenge to the conventional theoretical attempts. Employing a Bourdieusian understanding of structuration, this study aims to reveal the gap between theoretical expectations from and practical limitations of EMPs. The three chosen cases concern Turkey’s increasing foreign assistance, its mediation in Iran’s nuclear swap deal, and its involvement in the Syrian civil war. Selecting these cases has implications and affects projections for an EMP’s policy-makers with regard to discourse and actions within a boundary that the structure has plotted to halt other agents’ potential threats against the international system’s functioning. The distinction between high-politics and low-politics is also highlighted here as an important factor that determines the limits and positioning of EMPs in the international order.Master Thesis Türkiye'deki Suriyelilere İlişkin Twitter Paylaşımlarının Sosyal Kimlik Teorisi Çerçevesinde Analizi(TOBB ETÜ, 2021) Dinç, Uğur; Ongur, Hakan Övünç2011 yılında Suriye'de patlak veren iç savaş, Türkiye'ye yoğun bir göç akını başlatmıştır. Göçün başlamasından itibaren geçen on yılda, birlikte yaşayan Türkiye Cumhuriyeti vatandaşları ve Geçici Koruma Statüsü'ndeki Suriyelilerin ilişkisi, kısa süreceği varsayılan birliktelik düşüncesinin üzerine şekillenen "ev sahibi-misafir" ilişkisinden farklı bir hale bürünmüştür. Yıllar içinde gruplar-arasındaki ilişkinin kötüleşmesi ve uyumun zıt yönünde yol alması gruplar-arası ilişkilerin dinamiklerini inceleyen Sosyal Kimlik Teorisi'ne başvurmayı gerekli kılmıştır. Bu tezde, geniş kitlelerin Suriyelilere ilişkin algısını bu teori çerçevesinde bir analize tabi tutmak amacıyla toplumsal kimliği ilgilendiren ve politik açıdan bireylerin kendilerini ifade etmelerinde seçtikleri başat sosyal medya aracı olan Twitter paylaşımları temel alınmıştır. 2010-2021 yılları arasında toplanan veriler, süreç içinde inşa edilen Suriyeliler algısında, Türkiye kamuoyunun yüksek oranda tehdit ile güdülendiğini ve bu yüzden ekonomi, güvenlik ve demografi gibi alanlarda pejoratif söylemler yaratarak bu alanlarda yeni talepler geliştirdiğini göstermektedir.Master Thesis Türkiye'de Uluslararası İlişkilerin Lisans Eğitiminde Gizli Müfredat ve Oryantalizm: Eleştirel Pedagojik Bir Yaklaşım(TOBB University of Economics and Technology, Graduate School of Economics and Social Sciences, 2017) Gürbüz, Selman Emre; Ongur, Hakan ÖvünçThis study focuses on the curricula of the undergraduate education of International Relations from the selected universities of Turkey. A critical pedagogical approach is employed to analyze the organization of the curricula, course names and contents, textual discourses, repetitions and meanings. This thesis, a pioneering attempt that aims at combining Critical Pedagogy and International Relations, concentrates on the orientalist themes and discourses within the analyzed curricula. The theory of 'hidden curriculum,' implying a control mechanism in the process of education, will help deconstructing the texts of International Relations. This attempt of deconstruction is developed especially on the headings of positivism, neoliberalism and Islam as an internal-Other. The primary aim of this thesis is to present that ontologically pluralist studies can provide a liberating terrain for the research in International Relations in Turkey. Keywords: Critical Pedagogy, Orientalism, Deconstruction, International Relations,Hidden Curriculum.Article Rereading Turkey's Recent History Through the Lens of Rock Music: How Rock Has Lost Its Socio-Political Edge in Neoliberal Times(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Öngür, Hakan Övünç; Develi, Tevfik OrkunIn presenting the historical development of rock music in Turkey from the early 1960s to the present within a socio-political framework, this study provides (1) a rereading of Turkish politico-economic changes and (2) a correlative cultural critique of rock musicianship and songwriting in the neoliberal age. Two related hypotheses are tested through a content analysis of 67 rock acts, 426 releases and 3452 songs from 1963 to 2019. First, it is argued that as Turkey moved from import substitution industrialisation between 1960 and 1980 to 1980s neoliberalism, the content of rock music lyrics changed from being overtly socio-political to having no relation to such matters or to adopting implicit and indirect language in mentioning them. Second, it is proposed that this lyrical unresponsiveness to social matters grew so powerfully as part of the neoliberal economic rationale that it put individuation, self-realisation and market demands ahead of other forms of social relations. So, today's rock artists are unequipped to respond through their lyrics to grand events, such as the Gezi Park protests of 2013, the failed coup attempt of 2016, or a two-year state of emergency, terrorism and femicide, in contrast to the rock music of the 1960s and 1970s.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Plus Ça Change … Re-Articulating Authoritarianism in the New Turkey(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2018-01-01) Ongur, Hakan ÖvünçThis study argues that the understanding of politics that prevails in contemporary Turkey resonates with Ernesto Laclau’s perspective on Turkish politics of the 1930s. Adapting Laclau’s antagonistic politics to the analysis of contemporary Turkey produces a critical counter-narrative that reveals in effect a continuation of an authoritarian tradition, between the socio-political discourses of the 1930s CHP and the present AKP. Accordingly, discourses of both political movements are fundamentally inspired by the same logic of difference, one that reduces the role of the construction of equivalential chains among different pre-existing political demands to a pragmatist game of hegemony. Their authoritarianisms, however, differ from one another in terms of the symbolic frameworks within which each respective regime is sustained. Whereas the early CHP represented French-inspired, Jacobin-like, nationalist approach to democracy, the AKP has established US-paralleling, neoliberal and neo-conservative governmentality, which was made public in the party’s New Turkey Manifesto in 2014.Article Citation - Scopus: 3The Ak Party and Biopolitics: How a Transformation in Governmentality Affects Population Politics in Turkey(Brill Academic Publishers, 2015) Ongur, Hakan ÖvünçThe political rise of the AK Party in Turkey since 2002 has been associated with a social transformation within the country. This article argues that the dynamics of this transformation is rooted in the simultaneously neoliberal and conservative character of the establishing governmentality. Foucauldian analysis of the AK Party's practice of biopolitics suggests that the (historically very rare) development of harmony between the ruling governmentality and the majority of society during the AK Party era has facilitated the spread of a new regime of truth regarding the relationship between political power and the human body in Turkey. Examination of textual evidence demonstrates that, in place of Turkey's previous discourses on eugenics or anatomo-politics of the body, the AK Party's version of biopower manifests itself directly through population politics by concentrating on birth rates, abortion, universal healthcare, illnesses, and tobacco and alcohol consumption.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Türkiye’de Uluslararası İlişkiler Eğitimi ve Oryantalizm: Disipline Eleştirel Pedagojik Bir Bakış(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2019) Ongur, Hakan Övünç; Gürbüz, Selman EmreUsing a qualitative discourse analysis, this article aims at introducing the sub-discipline of Critical Pedagogy (CP) to the studies of International Relations (IR), incorporating the orientalist text analysis into CP and arguing over the orientalist texture of the undergraduate education of IR in Turkey. It is argued here that due to the Western-centrism of CP studies, they ‘forget’ to bring into question the orientalist tone of the standardized Western curricula, next to the main discussions of academic capitalism and neoliberal instrumentalization of education. Making an investigation of the curricula and the fundamental reading materials over ten selected IR programmes in Turkey, this article both recalls this need of orientalist inquiry in CP studies and provides a fresh perspective for the scholarly analysis of the IR education in Turkey. The findings suggest a non-critical reproduction of the Western literature for the Turkish IR as well as a continuation, if not reinforcement, of this literature by the Turkish-speaking academia. As a result, it is argued here that the orientalist subtext of concepts, including radical Islam, Jihadism, fundamentalism, Islamic terror, the Third World, underdevelopment, etc., has become a part of the IR literature in Turkey.Article Rethinking Turanism Beyond Expansionism(Duke Univ Press, 2024) Topal, Omer Faruk; Ongur, Hakan ÖvünçThe mainstream literature on Turanism defines the term as an essentially expansionist and irredentist movement that aims at unifying all Turkic populations. This article challenges this presupposition, arguing that the Turanist imagination has multiple usages. A considerable number of Turkish nationalist intellectuals of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, in fact, approached it as a modern political concept within the confines of solidarity and sovereignty. They regarded the general idea of nationalism as a universal concept to which everyone could make an equal claim, including non-Turks in the Ottoman Empire. This translates to mean that Turanism is not necessarily territorial expansionism, nor must it go hand in hand with racist/expansionist claims. Neither should it be understood as the hegemony of Turkey's Turks over other Turks. It rather strives for a Turkist internationalism in which Turks negotiate with each other to maximize their sovereign interests. Seen in that light, Turanism is not a mystical idea, and it refers to modern practical/political concepts such as independence, territorial integrity, national sovereignty, and self-determination.
