On the occasion of the centenary of the Republic of Turkey, this chapter analyses the accumulation of political and social movements in Turkey and their relationship with the state apparatus. It mainly claims that the emancipatory space built up throughout the 2000s, along with its contentions, alliances, and discussions, may be scrutinised with the notion of encounter. I focus on the Kurdish movement, feminist and LGBTI+ movements and show how they built up this space embedded in a temporality of struggle, gathering, and alliance building. I further argue that there is a mutual relationship between the state apparatus and these movements and examine the relationality between what we call the state and the sounds coming from the streets.

摘要

On the occasion of the centenary of the Republic of Turkey, this chapter analyses the accumulation of political and social movements in Turkey and their relationship with the state apparatus. It mainly claims that the emancipatory space built up throughout the 2000s, along with its contentions, alliances, and discussions, may be scrutinised with the notion of encounter. I focus on the Kurdish movement, feminist and LGBTI+ movements and show how they built up this space embedded in a temporality of struggle, gathering, and alliance building. I further argue that there is a mutual relationship between the state apparatus and these movements and examine the relationality between what we call the state and the sounds coming from the streets.
