Journal Title: Çankaya University Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
Çankaya University Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences has reached its 13th volume this year with the contributions of the scholars who shared their valuable studies with us, the reviewers who devoted their valuable time and energy to evaluating and commenting on the papers, and the colleagues and friends at Çankaya University who put their efforts to realize this project. This current issue has been devoted to the politics of recognition and social theory, and has been intended to cover a wide variety of interdisciplinary studies from multiple fields that fall within the scope of the Journal. Nancy Fraser uses the term “recognition-theoretical turn” to describe a tendency to tackle many pressing real-life issues such as discrimination, exclusion, social justice, political equality, gender equality. The articles in this issue revolve around the problematic of (mis)recognition, cultural identity, and politics of identity formation, selfrealization, and subjectivation as studied at the intersection of different areas of the human sciences. We, as the editorial board, would like to thank wholeheartedly all the authors for their scholarly contributions and the team of referees for their reviews. We owe special thanks to Dr Mohamed Saki from the Université de Bretagne Occidentale, France for his tremendous work as the guest editor for this volume. We also like to thank the Board of Trustees and the Presidency of Çankaya University, and the Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences for their continuous support. Çankaya University Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences is an open-access, double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal which publishes national and international works in humanities and social sciences. Sharing and expanding the new perspectives in humanities and social sciences is of primary focus for the Journal, which aims to reach wider audience through its fully open-access policy. We aim to facilitate a more expanded and participatory academic discussion on the theoretical and/or applied scholarly work and to inform scholars and public about recent developments in the fields that fall within the scope of the Journal. Çankaya University Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences is a continuation, albeit in a slightly shifting focus of interest, of the Çankaya University Journal of Arts and Sciences continuously published between 2004 and 2010. We, as of June 2019, are proud to publish this issue of the Journal, which has years of publishing experience behind it.
