Islamists meet archaeology: the Justice and Development Party’s nascent politics of archaeology in Turkey
Original language description
This article analyzes the nascent politics of Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) on archaeology. In the quest to transform the Turkish state, archaeology is tasked by the ruling party to become a significant medium in the production of a new national history and identity. This study reveals that the instrumentalization of archaeology serves primarily the AKP’s bid to construct a new state identity, one that is an amalgam of Islamism and nationalism with an anti-Westernism tenet. The article investigates two cases that illustrate the AKP’s nascent politics of archaeology and explains how that politics impacts the discipline.
