Revisiting Nationalism Under Global Age Discussions: The Construction of the New Ottoman Discourse
Abstract
The concept of
globalization has to be dealt with in a very different way. The differences of
opinion about globalization emerged when it is placed among the most important
political debates of our time. Likewise, assuming that the concept of
globalization is a mere economic expression, or evaluating only with the
relations of production is the most important obstacle to our understanding of
the dominant culture of western origin and ability to read its subtext.
Therefore, there is a necessity for a detailed literature review of the
relevant concept. Addressing the relationship between nationalism and
globalization is also urgent today, since not only in Turkey, but also in
Europe and in the United States, we are witnessing the gradual increase in the
nationalist ideologies. First, the critique of
globalization has been put forward which the study continued with the studies
on the construction of the discourse, which had an important place in the
communication. In the study, cultural indicators are also found in the studies
on the construction of nationalist discourse which has been accepted as a type
of ideology. In particular, although
nationalist policies and state policies for globalization seem to be opposed to
each other, the common point of the two policies is to determine their common
points, and the consequences thereof are the subject of this article. In this
study, the concepts of globalization and nationalism are tried to be explained.
In addition to this the relationship between the two concepts will be studied
together with the concept of nationalist discourse and examined with the
discourse of "new Ottomanism" which is the current and important
examples of the subject. In
this context of discussions on the recent changes in Turkey linked to rising
Ottoman ties will be put in the evaluation when the study argues naming
nationalism within the globalization
perspective.
