Paper long abstract:

I aim to reflect upon the past and the present of anthropology of Turkey. My paper examines the ethnographies of native and foreign scholars, focusing on the "language" in textual production, "audience" in the textual reception, and "representativeness" of the anthropological texts. It is a critical reflection of long-standing hegemonic dualities, differentiations, and hierarchies.
