Public Lecture by Meltem Ahıska, Scholar of Sociology from Turkey
Meltem Ahıska, Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Boğaziçi University (Istanbul), Turkey, will visit Hong Kong and be the speaker for the upcoming lecture of the Public Lecture Series on Gender Studies 2010, organized by the Gender Studies Programme of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and sponsored by the Lee Hysan Foundation.
Dr. Ahıska is the author of The Magical Door of Radio: Occidentalism and Political Subjectivity (Radyonun Sihirli Kapısı: Garbiyatçılık ve Politik Öznellik) and the co-author of ‘The Indivisible Unity of the Nation’: Fragmenting Nationalism(s) in the Democratization Process (‘Milletin Bölünmez Bütünlüğü’ : Demokratikleşme Sürecinde Parçalayan Milliyetçilik(ler)). She has also contributed to Waiting for the Barbarians: A Tribute to Edward Said with a chapter entitled ‘Orientalism/Occidentalism: The Impasse of Modernity’, and various publications on Occidentalism, social memory, gender and related issues. Her new book, Occidentalism in Turkey: Questions of Modernity and National Identity in Turkish Radio Broadcasting by I.B.Tauris of London, is forthcoming as well.
The coming lecture in April by Dr. Ahıska is titled ‘The Gendered Grammar of Occidentalism: Modes of addressing violence against women in Turkey’. She will take Occidentalism as a historical and dialogical construction of modernity in Turkey in relation to the so-called “East” and “West”, and argue that Occidentalism has established a performative grammar of power, which can be put into service for explaining away, and legitimizing gender discrimination and violence by using the terms of a projected Westernism.
