“…6) In this quotation, Fatımatüzzehra refers to similar themes to those already discussed: the sadness of the nation and the nation's potential happiness, in order to promote commitment, with an emphasis on working [çalışmak]. She explains how she imagines that the 'European' gaze sees (Ahıska, 2010) Ottoman Muslims. In Fatımatüzzehra's words, Ottoman Muslims figure as the collective 'self' to which she belongs and to which she speaks, excluding the non-Muslim Ottomans from the picture, such as Ottoman Armenians and Greeks.…”

“…In the case of modernist and nationalist movements, objects of desire for commitment reflect the articulation of modernisation and nationalism and can be wide ranging. For example, according to Ottoman intellectuals and political figures, objects of desire are generally related to 'catching up' with modern knowledge and the industrial 'superiority' of Europe, for the nation's own progress (Ahıska, 2010). As observed in KD magazine, objects of desire orienting to commitment might be broader, such as 'creating a better humanity'; or more specific, such as taking revenge for those who died in recent Balkan wars.…”

This article contributes to the growing interest in affect and emotions in sociological research, with a specific focus on ‘mood’, developing the concept ‘mood of commitment’. It approaches political commitment as a mood, an affective lens, a dedication to a greater cause, asking how political commitments might be a low intensity affective relationship, and also a heightening, high intensity rhythm at the same time. I conceptualise ‘mood of commitment’ as an object of analysis that can be engaged to critically understand a wide range of political commitments. This article focuses on the case of Ottoman Muslim women’s movements in the early 20th century, amid the turmoil of nationalist movements and ‘modernisation’ processes. It firstly analyses objects of desires that are circulated to be persuasive in the political movements, and attunement of women’s movements with already existing nationalist movements. It secondly unpacks the kind of work involved in claiming to be in the ‘right’ mood of commitment, emphasising the production of hegemonic positions.

“…Nur weil die Türkei keine ehemalige Kolonie darstellt, heißt dies nicht, dass sie keine hierarchisierte Beziehung zum Westen hätte. Im Gegenteil stellen vorliegende Analysen gerade die historische Ambivalenz des Verhältnisses der Türkei zum Westen heraus, das einerseits als Modernitätsvorbild diente, andererseits jedoch durch koloniale stereotype Repräsentationen der Türk*innen im Westen als rückständig und ‚orientalisch' auch zu einer Ablehnung westlicher Gesellschaftsvorstellungen führte (Ahıska 2010;Ergin 2017). In ihrer kritischen Analyse liest Meltem Ahıska die ambivalente Hervorbringung von Modernität im Kontext Türkei als Okzidentalismus.…”

Turkey is a country of various ethnic and religious groups where these multiplicities are reflected in heterogeneous modes of communication, structures, and practices that are historically derived from European, Ottoman, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Central Asian traditions. Communication in this entry is defined as a situated, sociocultural construction in a dialectical relationship with culture and history. Silence and silencing as modes of communication and the notion of memleket (“homeland”) as a communicative space are discussed to reflect on the complex interplay of communication with culture, identity, and history. Interpersonal communication and relations are mediated by but also mediate silence and memleket .
