"To be truly radical, is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing." (#RaymondWilliams)

'Kültür' bulutların üzerinde süzülen, parmaklarımızın arasından cıva gibi kayan ve en beklenmedik şekillerde ortaya çıkıp kaybolan bir şey değil; kültür ve madde bir Möbius şeridi gibi birlikte üretiliyor ve birlikte var. Kültürel aynı zamanda 'maddi' ve bunun tersi de geçerli.

Read my new post in the blog of Raymond Williams Society. It discusses the concept of structure of feeling that I develop in ethnography of workers' life and struggle in contemporary Russia.

Salty from Raymond Williams in his novel The Volunteers (1978): 'It's great to belong to a young radical generation, until you have to watch them grow up.'

My new article Co-existing structures of feeling: Senses and imaginaries of industrial neighbourhoods is out in The Sociological Review. Drawing on multi-sited ethnography, it theorises the concept of structure of feeling by sociologist Raymond Williams.
