"This book explores the role of material entities and processes in shaping political lives in Turkey, revealing the formative role of material entities and processes in political processes of infrastructure construction, knowledge production, and technical expertise. Chapters explore the politics of material entities such as roads, canals, oilfields, and mines as well as less elaborated material sites, including military bases, soccer fields, wetlands, and mental healthcare institutions. These interdisciplinary case studies from the fields of anthropology, science and technology studies, history of medicine and sports, and environmental humanities, provide important new analytical and theoretical approaches to understanding Turkey's ongoing politics of 'modernisation'"--
