| Summary: | This study focuses on how Turkey is positioned between the East and the West
through discourses and narratives on the imaginaries of its changing
geopolitical trajectory. Specifically, it aims to investigate how the geopolitical
and cultural mentality that constructs the concepts of East and West in Turkey
creates an East-West imaginary. The debates on East and West in Turkey,
while carrying the historical, political and cultural past in their baggage, also
have a say in the discourse on current events and phenomena. Although this
tendency has changed in some periods, the ontological construction of the
depictions of Turkey's geography is mostly based on the construction of East
and West. This study was designed according to qualitative research design.
The sample group of the study consisted of 240 participants studying at the
Faculties of Theology, Literature and Political Sciences/Economic and
Administrative Sciences of Istanbul University and Van Yüzüncü Yıl
University. The data obtained were analyzed using MAXQDA software. The
analyses show that there is a relationship between the way of imagining East
and West and geopolitical imaginations subject to political discourse.
