The Dubious Case of a Failed Coup: Militarism, Masculinities, and 15 July in Turkey

Within the framework of militarism and masculinities, this edited volume attempts to contextualize the immediate aftermath of the 15 July 2016 coup in Turkey. This project is an attempt to bring a fresh and critical perspective by compiling together analyses from various disciplines of political science, media and film studies, literature, sociology and cultural studies.  Several chapters of this volume delineate the paradox of “victorious militarism,” meaning that despite the failure of the coup, its aftermath has been shaped by a new wave of state-sponsored gendered militarism.
