Temptations in Ruin - Sovereign Accumulation and the Making of Post-Genocide Turkey - Alice von Bieberstein

Anthropologist Prof. Dr. Alice von Bieberstein (HU Berlin) presents her new book "Temptations in Ruin Sovereign Accumulation and the Making of Post-Genocide Turkey”. In it, she examines the political-economic afterlife of the Armenian genocide in present-day Turkey, focusing on the region of Muş (Moush). The book explores how the 1915 genocide and dispossession of Armenians shaped property regimes, citizenship, and economic logics that continue to reverberate today.  

LIAS Senior Fellow Prof. Dr. Ceren Özselçuk (Boğaziçi University) will give a response, followed by a discussion with the participation of Prof. Dr. Serhat Karakalayi (Leuphana University). The presentations and the open discussion will be moderated by Dr. Max Koss (Leuphana University).
