Gauging And Engaging Deviance 1600–2000, Nicos Trimikliniotis, Ari Sitas, Wiebke Keim, Sumangala Damodaran, Faisal Garba
Nicos Trimikliniotis
Gauging and Engaging Deviance is at once a creative and challenging work. It is not just a critique of the sociological canon, but an imaginative reconstruction that is generous to all nooks and crannies of the planet. It is also a memorial to modernity’s victims, whether they were perceived to be deviant or not. Its broad historical range, its geographical spread, and its attention to race and power create a conceptual grammar through which we can speak of the key challenges, traumas and violence of the contemporary period. Through its pages the Maroon and the Pirate meet Don Quixote, the …

Incorporating A Class Analysis Within The National Question: Rethinking Ethnicity, Class And Nationalism In Cyprus, Umut Bozkurt, Nicos Trimikliniotis
Nicos Trimikliniotis
This article has two main aims. Firstly, it aims to challenge the widespread narrative in Cyprus studies that presents ethnic identities as historically inevitable and natural. Rather, identities need to be conceptualized as socially constructed. The second aim of this article is to problematize the argument that ethnic or national groups are homogenous actors. It underlines the need to deconstruct these supposedly unitary actors by making use of a class-based conceptualization of the state. By using such a conceptualization, the article will focus on the period between 1878 and 1974. It will start with a concrete analysis of the class …

Nicos Trimikliniotis
This is a book review of a splendid book by Fouskas and Dimoulas. The shifts the story from the micro to the macro, from geopolitics to the economy, and from class to political protagonists. Overall, this greatly adds to the book’s depth of analysis and the shifting is successful as the authors integrate and synthesise their text by presenting the whole book as a constant shifting game. The book unfolded like a novel with a vast amount of empirical data – economic and sociological. The crisis in Greece, or better, the crisis of Europeanism and global financialization as experienced in …

Can We Learn From Comparing Violent Conflicts And Reconciliation Processes? For A Sociology Of Conflict And Reconciliation Going Beyond Sociology, Nicos Trimikliniotis
Nicos Trimikliniotis
This paper examines the potential for a sociology of ethnic conflict and reconciliation in ethnic divided societies. It provides the basic framework to address barriers and conceptual difficulties in connecting knowledge across disciplines and paradigms, bridging the knowledge gap from the fact that the study of conflict is often detached from the study reconciliation processes. It critiques conflict resolution and liberal peace models with their Eurocentric biases and envisions a multidisciplinary approach to the subject. It proposes a sociology of conflict/reconciliation that is global, contextual, universal and particular to treat violent conflicts and reconciliation processes as distinct dynamic modes within …
