Abstract:

This ethnographic work examines both the colonial language
governmentality imposed by the Turkish state and the Kurdish language
activism as a response to this system. Through a genealogical study,
it calls for a reconsideration of the linguistic condition in Turkey
as being more than nationalist, highlighting its foundation in
intertwined ideologies of racism, imperialism, and colonialism. It
then provides an analysis of new possibilities and directions led by
the actors of the Kurdish language movement, which seeks to enhance
not only the linguistic but also the socio-political condition of the
Kurdish people by taking a "beyond language" approach. The work
advances our thinking about language oppression and minority language
activism.
