Anti-intellectualism as romantic discourse / Ratner-Rosenhagen, Jennifer   Journal Article
Ratner-Rosenhagen, Jennifer Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract When I told friends that I was heading off to a doctoral program in U.S. intellectual history, they either seemed mysti ½ed-"Do we have an intellectual history?"- or found the entire proposition somewhat funny: "American intellectual history!? Isn't that an oxymoron!?" More skepticism awaited as I began my studies. Classmates repeatedly subjected me to playful, if remorseless, interrogations about the wherefores and whithers of this so-called history of the American mind. I had to wonder what I was doing studying a subject that people think does not exist.

Intellectuals, white Turks, and the sons of the soil: intellectuality in Turkish conservative thought / Gurpınar, Dogan   Journal Article
Gurpinar, Dogan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The article is made up of two distinct parts. The first part surveys the discourses and tropes of intellectuality of the Turkish old-right. The second part specifically discusses the crisis of the conservative intelligentsia as the Islamist takeover of Turkish government in 2002 did not result in conservative intellectuals dominating the intellectual realm. Continuing to remain marginalized and their promises unfulfilled, they have refurbished the old right’s tropes of intellectualism and reiterate the tropes of usurpation of the intellectual realm, while claiming to represent the genuine intelligentsia of the organic nation.

Reinvention of Kemalism: between Elitism, anti-Elitism and anti-Intellectualism / Gurpinar, Dogan   Journal Article
Gurpinar, Dogan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract This article probes the transformation of Kemalism to a xenophobic nation-statism with a strong anti-western animus diluting its self-styled westernism and elitism in response to the rise of the reformist-Islamist ruling JDP and its patchy liberal rhetoric and pro-EU stance. The article points to the novel qualities of the Kemalism of the 2000s but also attests to its inherent anti-elitist, anti-liberal and anti-intellectual nature that reigned in the 1930s given that the Kemalist project in the inter-war period involved the denunciation of the Ottoman establishment with its elite and intelligentsia and its replacement with an intelligentsia of its own that is acquainted with anti-liberalism, anti-cosmopolitism and also anti-intellectualism.
