Turkey has been uniquely defined by migration- by the emmigration of those fleeing persecution, the displacement of the persecuted, by labor migration and refugeedom. @AyataBilgin, prof at @UniGraz and co-pres of @SFST_CH will speak on this topic tonight. https://t.co/eyMClAyqZa

Manche freuen sich auf den ersten Schneefall am Montag in Basel, aber "manche mögen's heiss" - so lautet der Titel von @alp_yenen Dr. Alp Yenens Vortrag am selben Tag an unserer Ringvorlesung @UniBasel. Vortragsthema: die Türkei im Kalten Krieg.

"Where do the #borders of the Turkish Republic come from, what do they mean for citizens of #Turkey, and how are they maintained?" Find out in the latest issue of Diyâr, which I edited together with @peksen_mert and which was published this week by @GTOTStudies.

[Alex Balistreri @BalistreriAlex]

As editors, we thank each of our contributors; we are also grateful to Prof. Yavuz Köse, Julia Fröhlich, and the editorial staff of Diyâr @NomosVerlag for their support. Finally, we thank the peer-reviewers who offered their time and expertise toward improving our contributions.

4. Güldeniz Kıbrıs @guldenizkibris uses action films from the 1960s and 70s to show how the discursive production of borders and national space in movies can only be understood in the changing political and ideological context in which they were produced.
