Abstract
The aim of this study is to critically reflect on ÇATOM Project as a social development project in Southeastern Anatolia. Firstly, I have elaborated modes of operations of global development discourse. Secondly, I have analyzed ÇATOM discourse as a developmental mode of dealing with the social in the region by particular portrayals and technologies. Lastly, with a focus on ÇATOM field supervisor as a discursively constructed subject-position situated inbetween the state and the social, I have elucidated their accounts and materialization stories of the project's discourse, based on the fieldwork conducted in October 2002 and in May 2003, at one of the provinces of Southeastern Anatolia.
