| Title | Bodies as the battle fields of Nationalism and Hegemonic Masculinities: The Sarris Case |
| Summary | This thesis aims to analyse the transformation of Cypriots from ‘subjects’ to ‘citizens’. It discusses the process of how ethnic symbols have affected the national ‘belongingness’. It focuses on ‘Cyprioturkish’ national identity which stands within the margins of the ‘Turk’ and the ‘Cypriot’. Cyprioturkish identity has been discussed as an alternative discourse to proclaim ‘politics of difference and equality’. The media representations of the Sarris court case have been used as empirical data in order to discuss the interrelation of nationalism, sexuality and hegemonic masculinity. The thesis aims to analyse the ways in which Turkish and Greek nationalism declares bodies of the individuals as battlefields of nationalisms and hegemonic masculinities. |
