Regionaler Schwerpunkt: Türkei & Mittlerer Osten

Deniz T. Kılınçoğlu is an interdisciplinary historian of ideas and narratives. In his earlier research, he studied the intercultural circulation of economic ideas, values, and concepts, and the role of new ideas and narratives in social change, with a particular focus on the late Ottoman Empire. Later, he turned his attention to the influence of nationalism on the human mind and culture. He recently completed a manuscript on this subject. His current project investigates national(ist) narratives and sentiments in contemporary Turkish school books to shed light on how nationalism frames the cognitive and emotive formation of individual and collective minds.
