Personal States - Making Connections Between People and Bureaucracy in Turkey

Klappentext Charting how Turkish people - both within and outside the state bureaucracy - attempt to personalise the impersonality of the state, this elegant, nuanced ethnography will cause scholars of state institutions across a broad range of disciplines radically to rethink what the entity called 'the state' actually is, the relations that create it, and to acknowledge its materiality, thus taking understandings of the state to an entirely new level. Zusammenfassung This text charts how Turkish people, both individually and collectively, attempt to personalize the impersonality of the state. The narratives and metaphors used in these constructions draw on resources close to hand such as the organization of the factory and the family structure.
