| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The ways in which the identity of Islamist youth has shifted from the collective to the individual via a process of self-reflexivity within Turkey's changing political and cultural social context encompass different expressions of the cultural dilemmas faced by Muslim youth. Through looking at textual and audiovisual autobiographical literary and factual accounts, this essay reflects upon the modalities of the particular transformation of well educated Muslim youth. It argues that such an exploration is an investment in a way to understand the problems of future generations of youth, which will be constantly open to new cultural dilemmas |
