Abstract

This article is an attempt at examining the making of a new political subject in Turkey through a study of the rhetoric and counter rhetoric generated in the course of the Gezi Park protests. President Erdogan’s language during the protests was polarizing and a sharp differentiation was made between supporters of the AKP and those who opposed its policies in the course of the protests. A new heterogeneous margin therefore came into being represented by those frustrated about the government’s attempts to impose conservative values on a secular society. Subsequently identified as marginal in Erdogan’s ‘New Turkey’, this article argues that it is interesting that this new ‘public’ was in a sense the result of changes within Turkey since the turn of the century.
