Description

In this edited volume, the authors argue how neo-liberal subjects respond to neoliberal uncertainties, risks, and threats in Turkey through either resilience or resistance, -or both-. The contributors form the book into two symbiotic axes. First, they display how global capitalism and neo-liberalism affect the neo-liberal subjects and their environment from different perspectives, and generate their vulnerabilities in Turkey. Moreover , they reveal how neo-liberal subjects execute resilience/resistance in order to survive against the vulnerabilities created by neo-liberalism and its agents. In doing so, the contributors demonstrate how resilience/resistance of neoliberal subjects makes themselves political. They show this by focusing on resistance and resilience from a variety of Turkish perspectives, including environmental groups, social classes, social media, and gender.
