The subject matter of this study is the monthly cultural magazine Bilim ve Sanat, which was published right after the Coup of 12 September. In authoritarian political regimes, printed press serves as almost the sole organized means to express opposition to the repressive politics. In the history of Turkish press especially the left forces have a rich tradition in this manner. This study aims to illuminate the position and contribution of Bilim ve Sanat's to this tradition; as it was a periodical started by the members of the outlawed Turkish Workers Party, and published between 1981 – 1990 with the collaboration of a wide circle of intellectuals. In this framework, this study argues that Bilim ve Sanat have established an organic relationship with its decade, and considering its success, it still secures historical value.
