Yael Navaro

The Make-Believe Space

Affective Geography in a Postwar Polity

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is an anthropological look at the Turkish territory of Northern Cyprus, a self-defined state, which is actually imaginary (because it is only recognized by Turkey). Navaro-Yashin surveys the affective landscape, examining the sense of haunted property and objects lost and gained in the partition, along with peoples relation to the fictive remapping of places and history by this new state.
