The Politics of Culture in Turkey, Greece & Cyprus

This book explores the intersection between the politics and cultures of the Left since the sixties in Turkey, Greece and Cyprus. It exposes the moments in which the Left has been claimed and performed, not only through political manifestos and traditional political boundaries, but also through corporeal acts, discursive practices and affective encounters. By focusing on culture and performance, it highlights the complex link between nationalism and internationalism in left-wing cultures and illuminates the entanglements between the ways in which left-wingers experienced transitions from dictatorship to democracy and vice versa.
