Description
Published in Muslim Societies and the Challenge of Secularization: An Interdisciplinary Approach. Muslims in Global Societies Series, vol 1., Gabriele Marranci, ed. (Springer 2010).
Laiklik, Turkish secularism, as it has been constructed, upheld and sustained by the Turkish state, and especially the Court, has become the mechanism through which all those who would like to see a shift in its definition and boundaries have been rendered the unacceptable and integrity-threatening other of Turkish society. I am interested in how the subjects of the law, as well as the interpreters and the sustainers of the law, perceive the Turkish concept of secularism, laiklik, and how these perceptions inform the cases before the Court.
