NOTE333 This research explores the role of several civil conservative- Islamist organizations and their relational networks in the conservative transformation of educational policy in Turkey between 1980 and 2012. It examines how the pow-er bloc of the conservative Islamist organizations over the educational policy has been historically and relationally constituted and shaped. It analyzes the modalities and motivations that bring these constellations together, the shaping of their hegemony projects and their power building strategies, and the relational and historical dynamics that empower them to orient educational policy field. The research focuses on four major periods of educational policy between the years 1980 and 2012: The ideological designation of the education system with the Turkish-Islamic Synthesis in the 1980s, the process of the eight years of compulsory education reform during the 1990s, the neoliberal-populist regime of educational policies during the 2000s, the implementation of the 4+4+4 compulsory education model in 2012. Semi-structured inter-views and textual analysis are utilized as qualitative research methods. The research argues that conservative transformation of educational policy is not a monolithic and linear process defined with the steadily rising influence and power of the conservative- Islamist actors. Conservatism in edu-cation has rather been a product of the changing modalities and dynamics of alliance building among diverse agents, within which the currently powerful conservative-Islamist groups develop different power building strategies. The research claims that the main power resource of these groups is their interorganizational networks and expanding social capital across civil and political platforms. The proactivity for the advocacy for religious education, on the other hand, functions to forge a common ground that unities them as a conservative-Islamist power bloc.

| dc.description.abstract | The study focuses on respectively Tarık Buğra's novels Küçük Ağa and Firavun İmanı, as well as Hüseyin Karatay's Çalınan Savaş and Ali Erkan Kavaklı's Gülü Koklayamadım. These novels that depict the Turkish War of Independence emphasize that the Turkish Muslim population carried out the struggle. According to them, the primary motivation was based on concepts such as jihad, holy war, and resistance against infidels. It is claimed that religious people, like protagonists in the novels, are historically the leading undertakers of the war; however, according to the books, after the war ended and the Republic was proclaimed, they remained in the background, were intimidated, and faced injustice through politicized law. Tarık Buğra, who pioneered the nationalist conservative view of the genre with his novel Küçük Ağa, inspired other writers with the plot, characters, opening and closing scenes, and proclamations of his novels. Moreover, in Karatay and Kavaklı's novels, the language hardens and carries forward Bugra's theses. It is alleged that the Turkish War of Independence was stolen from the opposition Second Group parliamentarians and religious circles by Mustafa Kemal Pasha and the founding cadres of the Republic. The authors argue that they opposed the dominant ideology with their novels and presented alternative historical narratives by revealing the truth. These novels, in which art is instrumentalized and constructed around a doctrine, are examined as ordinary production objects with their ideological aspects. The interaction between the ideology and literature is tried to be clarified by considering the social, political, and cultural dimensions of the period they were written in. In the first section, after categorizing the novels about the Turkish War of Independence, I list the characteristics of the examined novels. Then, by looking at genre theories, I review them through the attributes of historical novels and novels with a thesis. Each novel is discussed in separate chapters under different headings in detail. History is not seen as past events but as a legitimate power to establish the future in these novels. Therefore, I argue that the four books in question, which have political theses, used the literary field to prove their claims. | |
