    Covid-19, populism, and political change in Turkey
    (Turkish Policy Quarterly, 2021-12) Demiralp, Seda
    COVID-19 hit Turkey in the middle of an economic crisis and a rivalry between Erdogan's populist government and opposition mayors, particularly Istanbul mayor Imamoglu. The pandemic's impact on this rivalry will depend on how their support groups are affected. Citizens' increased tolerance of submission to a central authority and their increased dependence on economic assistance could contribute to Erdogan's position, while a lack of available funds to distribute would threaten it. Meanwhile, Imamoglu has successfully been using certain elements of populism like his rival, but with more concern for democracy and sustainability. If he retains his popularity, the nightmare of the ruling party may come true: Imamoglu could run against Erdogan in the 2023 presidential elections with a good chance of winning.

    1001 nights with animus
    (Pluto Journals, 2021-06) Demiralp, Seda
    This paper provides a Jungian interpretation of the frame story of 1001 Nights. Using a psychodynamic approach, the key characters in the frame story are considered as different pieces of the female psyche during the journey of individuation. This reveals the story’s hidden content about inner enemies of the female psyche, such as a tyrannical animus that feeds from an oppressive environment. With a happy ending that represents the union of the ego and the animus, 1001 Nights highlights a path to women’s empowerment and social harmony that involves facing inner and outer demons. The essay also argues that with its emphasis on freedoms as a source of individual and social peace, 1001 Nights captures the Zeitgeist of the period from which it emerged, namely 9th-century Abbasid rule, particularly under the reign of Caliph al-Mamun.
