The volume edited by Feride Çiçekoğlu and Ömer Turan lays the foundation for the (re)contextualization of masculinities and militarism at a moment of immense social, political, and cultural transformation in Turkey. As a vital contribution to the growing literature on men and masculinities in Turkey, the volume places the coup attempt of July 15, 2016, within a temporality in which a regime of state of emergency and militarization was disseminated via “violence through symbols.” In order to unpack the complexity and dynamism of masculinities within this context, the volume incorporates a spectrum of studies on football, cinema, video games, literature, psychoanalysis, military veterans, and performance. Gender scholars have hitherto underlined the deep-seated role of hegemonic militarism and nationalism within constructions of masculinities, especially in Turkey where military service is compulsory for male citizens. In this particular architecture of a “military nation,” multiple forces circulate through the symbols and instruments of the nation-state. Yet the edited volume exhibits a peculiar return to reloaded militarism and puts the spotlight on its discursive, symbolic, and tangible effects on reproductions of masculinities. Contrary to the previously applauded role of the military as a formative institution disciplining citizens, the 15th of July, by juxtaposing civilian heroes with putschist soldiers and incorporating Muslim religious symbols, has fortified hegemonic gendered constructions. The authors attentively demonstrate that the heretical juncture of the failed coup, while productively enabling new normative constructions of hegemonic masculinities, at the same time, echoes a resurgence of deeply rooted traumas. Under the climate of an authoritarian turn and the violent curtail after the coup attempt, the volume unpacks the patriarchal conditions in which masculine agents are cultivated, promoted and reproduced. Chapter 4 by Başak Alpan and Chapter 5 by Feride Çiçekoğlu specifically build on Connell’s formulation of hegemonic masculinity through analyses of football and movies vis-à-vis July 15 and Men and Masculinities 2020, Vol. 23(3-4) 800-803 a The Author(s) 2020

书评：政变失败的可疑案例：军国主义、男子气概和 7 月 15 日在土耳其

由 Feride Çiçekoğlu 和 Ömer Turan 编辑的这本书为在土耳其社会、政治和文化发生巨大变革的时刻男性气质和军国主义的（重新）语境化奠定了基础。作为对土耳其日益增长的男性和男子气概文献的重要贡献，该卷将 2016 年 7 月 15 日的政变企图置于一个通过“象征性暴力”传播紧急状态和军事化制度的时间范围内。为了在这种背景下解开男性气质的复杂性和活力，本书结合了对足球、电影、电子游戏、文学、精神分析、退伍军人和表演的一系列研究。迄今为止，性别学者一直强调霸权军国主义和民族主义在男性气质的构建中的根深蒂固的作用，特别是在土耳其，男性公民必须服兵役。在这个“军事国家”的特殊架构中，多种力量在民族国家的象征和工具中流通。然而，经过编辑的卷表现出对重新加载的军国主义的特殊回归，并将焦点放在其对男性气质再现的话语、象征和有形影响上。7 月 15 日将平民英雄与叛乱士兵放在一起，并结合穆斯林宗教符号，这与之前称赞的军队作为惩戒公民的形成性机构的作用相反，加强了霸权的性别结构。作者用心证明了政变失败的异端时刻，同时富有成效地促成了霸权男子气概的新规范建构，同时，呼应了根深蒂固的创伤的复苏。在专制转向和政变企图后的暴力削减的气氛下，该卷解开男性代理人被培养、提升和再生产的父权制条件。Başak Alpan 的第 4 章和 Feride Çiçekoğlu 的第 5 章通过对 7 月 15 日和 Men and Masculinities 2020, Vol. 23(3-4) 800-803 a 作者 2020 Başak Alpan 的第 4 章和 Feride Çiçekoğlu 的第 5 章通过对足球和电影的分析与 7 月 15 日和 Men and Masculinities 2020，Vol。23(3-4) 800-803 a 作者 2020 Başak Alpan 的第 4 章和 Feride Çiçekoğlu 的第 5 章通过对足球和电影的分析与 7 月 15 日和 Men and Masculinities 2020，Vol。23(3-4) 800-803 a 作者 2020
