It argues that values of slowness, contemplation, and conviviality have kept the South from reaching the conquests of North Atlantic modernity, but have also screened it from its pathologies.

With reading, it gets repeatedly reprinted and rebound. For the author, the book thus functions only if it remains...

...The concluding chapter turns to more recent encounters between Turkey and Germany in the form of artist exchanges and “intercultural dialogue,” showing how these programs continue to feed into asymmetric perceptions. The chapter reiterates that analyzing the historical entanglements of Turkey...

To this end, it was necessary conceptually to reinscribe the classical schema of the “contract” into the representative and practical space of commodity exchange, whose immediacy...

... the chapter analyses in the context of Karl Marx's theory of exchange-value, and that of the fairy tale, associated with an older, stable worldview in the poem.
