Anarchist thought in Turkey in the context of Kara and Efendisiz magazines

Anarchism, one of the modern ideologies, has not been effective in any period of Turkish political-intellectual life and has hardly found a place for itself in Turkish literature. Howeveri, with emergence of the journals of Kara and Efendisiz, a periodical publishing activity centered on anarchist ideology started in the second half of the 1980s. These journals analyzed the political, social and economic issues with an anarchist perspective, as well as presenting the anarchist movement in the light of concepts, people and events. In this thesis, the literary accumulation left by Kara and Efendisiz journals was examined, a detailed analysis of the published contents was made and it was determined what kind of contributions the journals made to the anarchist thought in Turkey. In the thesis, the conceptual framework of anarchism is given as an introduction and limited activities on anarchist literature in Turkey before 1980's are compiled. In the last part, the main issues covered in the magazine were systematized by thematicization and the contents of the magazine were analyzed. The findings in this thesis are eye-opening for researchers who is working on anarchist publishing activities in Turkey.
