The author analyses the context of her own work in the Black Sea coastal area of Turkey, and deconstructs its ethnic influences in the context of modern archaeology.

Turkish sociology in a sociology of knowledge perspective : the double-bind of survival/identity Mühürdaroğlu, Anıl; Tokluoğlu, Ayşe Ceylan; Department of Sociology (2014) Ottoman-Turkish modernization discourse is structured on the bases of a double-bind between survival and identity which had emerged as a result of the belief that a break had taken place in the Ottoman Empire in the unity between the methods of governing and the qualities with which Ottomans defined themselves.

Regime Change in Contemporary Turkey: Politics, Rights, Mimesis Polat, Necati (Edinburgh University Press , 2016-08-01) Turkey has undergone a series of upheavals in its political regime from the mid-19th century.

It then describes the subsequent phase, looking at politics and rights under the amorphous new order.
