Öğe Öğe Beyond the continuum: contrasting images from violent and non violent radicalization(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2022-11) Koca, Metin[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Öğe Juxtaposing violent extremism and critical radicalism in Europe: the role of reflexive awareness in pursuit of religious purity and cultural essence(Routledge, 2023-07) Koca, MetinEmploying an approach that focuses on three goals of ideology-making (i.e. resolving grievances, seeking status, socialization), this study explores the reflexive boundaries between (1) 68 individual representations of violent 'Jihadi' and 'right-wing' extremism in Europe, and (2) 130 young adult European citizens who pursue religious purity or cultural essence. Having identified the latter as a pool of 'critical radicalism' in the current political context, the study juxtaposes violent and non-violent radicalizations by challenging two interrelated assumptions. The first is the sameness assumption: those who use a similar repertoire are unified by their similarity. The second is the continuum assumption: radicalism will eventually lead to violence, given that 'radicalization' discursively implies a shift towards promoting or carrying out violent behaviour. Drawing on comparisons between interview and media narratives, I argue that violent extremism and critical radicalism part ways while developing reflective methods to evaluate grievances, reclaim agency in response to status losses, and align social bonds with the ideology. The conceptual divergence indicates several fault lines between ideological simplicity and completeness and relates to individuals' self-awareness in (re)making the ideology rather than a given ideology. This concluding remark has implications for the value of reflexive awareness in democracies.Öğe Öğe Networked social movements and radicalisation: yellow vests' cross-ideological horizon for underrepresented groups(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, 2023-02) Koca, MetinThis paper questions the opportunities that Yellow Vests as a Networked Social Movement (NETSM) created for politically underrepresented groups. Without a clear authority structure and a formal organisation, NETSMs challenge traditional leadership understandings. Nonetheless, their ability to determine precision in setting goals, demands, and strategies is disputed in the NETSM literature. Considering both aspects, the paper evaluates Yellow Vests' success in bridging two underrepresented groups inclined to radicalisation. The study rests on 77 interviews with young-adult French citizens who support Radical Right movements (n=40) or self-identify as Muslim in the public sphere of Paris and Lyon (n=37). I argue that Yellow Vests' baseline arguments (e.g., against the pension reform and tax hikes) were precise enough to be shared by our interlocutors. Meanwhile, our interlocutors left the group boundaries sufficiently imprecise so that the movement could reach beyond their parochial identities. Bringing the two features together, the movement opened up new (e.g., class-based) radicalisation possibilities other than those relying on the Islamist and nativist vocabularies. After analysing this combination of precision and imprecision in the context of several unresolved problems, I conclude that the movement's vulnerability emanates from its failure to refine the combination that initially symbolised a shared future imagination.Öğe Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance Conclusions(Routledge, 2023) Koca, Metin[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance Preface(Routledge, 2023) Koca, Metin[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Values and Others in Cultural Change Introduction(Routledge, 2023) Koca, Metin[Abstract Not Available]Öğe
