This article is based on ethnographic research conducted during the Gezi Park protest occurred in Istanbul in 2013. It sheds light on how the protest questioned the public representation of the so-called post-1980 youth in Turkey as well as the fragmentation and polarization that characterize the Turkish social fabric. The co-existence during the demonstration of protesters who are used to perceive themselves as antithetical for religious, political and ethnic reasons forced them to rethink about themselves and their relations with the others, thus shaping new collective imaginaries for Turkey.

Abstract

This article is based on ethnographic research conducted during the Gezi Park protest occurred in Istanbul in 2013. It sheds light on how the protest questioned the public representation of the so-called post-1980 youth in Turkey as well as the fragmentation and polarization that characterize the Turkish social fabric. The co-existence during the demonstration of protesters who are used to perceive themselves as antithetical for religious, political and ethnic reasons forced them to rethink about themselves and their relations with the others, thus shaping new collective imaginaries for Turkey.
