Architectures of Similarity: Fragments, Islands and other Escapes from the Turkey and Europe Framework

Abstract

State-centric explanations of life in Europe and (or, including) Turkey often do much more than account for differences between the two – they reify them. This paper notices similarities instead. Such an analytical exercise does not simply turn the older narrative upside down. It starts with accepting the pluriverse of relations unfolding within Turkey-EU spaces and chooses to experiment with the idea that what seems marginal can in fact be formative.
