This article discusses the meaning of the formulation of a new Turkish civic morality infused with Islam in contemporary Turkey through a content analysis of the 1995 and 2007–08 editions of Religious Culture and Morality course textbooks used in high school curricula. I argue that this course, while maintaining continuity with the republic's diffusion of national religious morality through a revised version of Islam, referred to as “Kemalist Islam,” concretizes in its recent syllabus the consequences of the re-Islamization of the Turkish public sphere since the 1990s.
This article asks questions about the relationship between secularism, citizenship, and Islam in contemporary Turkey. I argue that the “privatized religious belief” that Kemalist secularism tried to propagate did not result in reinforcing individualism in Turkish society. Rather, it was thought to provide a basis for a civic morality reinforcing the holistic spirit of Turkish nationalism, which subordinates the individual to society. My research tries to figure out in what sense the content of Kemalist Islam, once the only legitimate religiosity taught in national education, changed with the modifications and whether Kemalist Islam loses its centrality in the definition of citizen identity, to the advantage of a new Islamic morality with the re-Islamization of the Turkish public sphere.
La transformation identitaire vécue par l’islam est mise en débat depuis quelques décennies par l’instauration de nouvelles relations entre les hommes et les femmes. Cet article analyse les expériences de flirt des femmes musulmanes, pour voir dans quelle mesure celles?ci contribuent à la reconstruction des identités islamiques, puis dans quelle mesure ces reconstructions identitaires posent un défi à l’identité islamique en général.
Le durcissement de la répression du régime de R. Erdogan depuis 2015, dirigée contre les minorités ethniques et culturelles, les droits des femmes et les oppositions tant institutionnelles qu’issus de la société civile, a mené à une réorganisation de la résistance en Turquie. Buket Turkmen s’appuie sur plusieurs mobilisations de femmes depuis le mouvement de Gezi pour montrer comment ces activistes développent des résistances discrètes tout en se remobilisant lors de manifestations féministes récentes.
