Conspiracy Theory in Turkey Politics and Protest in the Age of ‘Post-Truth’


Free Download Julian de Medeiros, "Conspiracy Theory in Turkey: Politics and Protest in the Age of ‘Post-Truth’"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 075560072X, 1788311671 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.5 mb
Turkey is witnessing an era of political upheaval. From the Gezi protests in 2013 to the attempted military coup of 2016, the concept of `post-truth’ plays a significant role in Turkish politics today. In the chaos of conspiracy theories, hidden enemies and post-coup purges, the unreal merges with the real, fuelling political repression and anti-government sentiment alike. Julian de Medeiros here analyses the many unfolding challenges of Erdogan’s New Turkey, and shows how a fixedly Turkish-style of `post-truth’ has taken root. Examining the relationship between conspiracy theory and `post-truth’, this book sheds light on the strategies of political paranoia that threaten to undermine the success of Turkey’s democratic model. De Medeiros argues that both the Gezi protests and the failed coup attempt need to be considered alongside the emerging anti-democratic and conspiratorial tendencies of an increasingly authoritarian Turkish government. As Turkish democracy continues to evolve with breath-taking speed and unpredictable outcomes, de Medeiros shows how the rise of paranoid politics in Turkey constitutes part of a global trend towards post-truth narratives. He situates Turkish democracy as subject to a global resurgence of strongman leadership and antagonistic populism. Conspiracy Theory in Turkey presents the very first critical account of the Turkish model of a `post-truth politics’. Through a counter-intuitive analysis of conspiracy theory and paranoid politics the book disentangles the real from the unreal and chronicles the emergence of post-truth in Turkey today.

"Those bodies – the Roswell bodies – they weren’t aliens""One survived the crash""A very highly classified experiment of the Army or Navy""The planned use of propaganda"In early July 1947, something crashed outside of Roswell, New Mexico. It was not an alien spaceship, as so many believe. Rather, it was one of a handful of definitively military vehicles that were secretly test-flown in various parts of the Land of Enchantment. All of the flights ended in disaster, and particularly so for the people who were on-board the craft. Cover-stories concerning wrecked flying saucers and dead aliens were carefully created. The stories were then spread by those tasked with hiding the dark truth. The far more disturbing picture of what really happened near Roswell was cloaked for years. In fact, for decades. Until now…
