ABSTRACT

This article examines the incomplete transformation of the Kurdish Hizbullah from an illegal underground organization to a social and political movement influent in the Kurdish Turkey. The article contextualizes Hizbullah’s transformation within the broader social and political developments after the 2000s. After a critical evaluation of the reconfiguration of the Kurdish political sphere in Turkey, the article critically addresses the Hizbullah’s conversion to civil society. It analyses the Hizbullah’s strategies of reorganization and mobilization through associations, political activism and public celebrations under the AKP rule. While acknowledging the political and social impact of this reconfiguration, this article also underlines the limits of this process, with a special focus on the Kurdish question and the ambivalent approach to Kurdish identity and martyrdom promoted by the political leaders and supporters of the movement. Relying on boundary making theory, the article argues that the Hizbullah’s attempt to rearticulate religion and ethnicity to broaden its political and social base remains circumscribed by the hegemonic aspirations of the Turkish state on the one hand, and the ongoing antagonism with the Kurdish national movement on the other.

摘要

本文探讨了库尔德真主党从不合法的地下组织到在库尔德土耳其大受欢迎的社会和政治运动的不完整转型。文章将真主党在2000年代后更广泛的社会和政治发展中的转变作为背景。在对土耳其库尔德政治领域的重新配置进行了严格的评估之后，该文章批评性地谈到了真主党向民间社会的conversion依。它分析了真主党通过结社，政治激进主义和AKP规则下的公众庆祝活动进行的重组和动员战略。在承认这种重新配置的政治和社会影响的同时，本文还强调了此过程的局限性，政治领导人和运动的拥护者特别关注库尔德问题和对库尔德人身份和难的矛盾态度。文章依据边界划定理论，认为真主党企图重新划分宗教和种族以扩大其政治和社会基础的企图，一方面受到土耳其国家的霸权愿望的限制，另一方面，与库尔德民族运动的持续对抗仍在进行限制。另一个。
