Ambiguous Encounter. Turkey and Europe between
Cultural Dialogue and Historical Prejudices
The cultural dimension of Turkey’s potential membership in the European Union dominates the public debates on Turkey’s relation particularly to EU and in general
to "Europe". In these conflict-ridden debates, as well as in the scholarship on this topic, not only Turkish immigrants in Europe and their specific subcultures occupy a central place in imagining "Turkey" but also historically accumulated perceptions of Europe’s south-eastern rim and of "Asia" influence the dialogue between Europe and Turkey. Instead of discussing whether Turkey belongs to Europe or not, and whether its membership in the EU is feasible or not, the workshop shall analyze historical and contemporary stereotypes and prejudices which influence the symbolic encounters between Europe and Turkey.
PARTICIPANTS:
Dan Diner (Hebrew University of Jerusalem/Simon-Dubnow-Institute for Jewish History and Culture at Leipzig University), Jeroen Doomernik (Universiteit van Amsterdam), Almut Höfert (American University, Cairo), Ralph J. Poole (Fatih University, Istanbul), Norman Stone (Bilkent University, Ankara)
