ABSTRACT
This chapter analyzes transformations of outsiderness following the rise of global capitalism and the Leftist movements between the end of World War II and the 1980 coup d'état. It first reveals the particular means and tactics of power and struggle, through which the following generations face the state. The development of Turkish capitalism within this period and the emergence of new economic and political actors and movements are key to an understanding of national identity and outsiderness. Then, the chapter analyzes particular engagement of the children generation with the Leftist movements. It also looks at transformations of consciousness (especially based on 1938) and identity, through the following generations' involvement in the Leftist movements, and reveal "structuring of particular kinds of subjectivities in the emergence of contention" and its effects of identity and collectivity. The chapter concludes with a discussion of a dilemma about the state power and its conceptualizations.
