Please join us for Migrant States, Mobile Economies: Rethinking the Political in Contemporary Turkey on Thursday, 8 October 2015 at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. Conference Description: This event brings together scholars from anthropology and political science to interrogate the conceptual relationship between state formation and capital accumulation as related but distinct technologies of power in contemporary Turkey. From gold traffic between Turkey and Iran and smuggling economies in Turkey’s Kurdistan to the historical development of energy infrastructures and im/mobilities across the Turkey-Syria border, the authors aim to chronicle the shifting and transnational operations of economic and political power.
