"Affective Ecologies of Limitation: Art, Infrastructure and Ecology in Istanbul's Peripheries" is a study of the transformation of Istanbul's peripheries and coastlines through the construction of mega-infrastructure projects. This work studies Istanbul's outer peripheries to account for the city's ecological and geographic transformations, its physical expansion, its disruptive megaprojects, and its fetishization of economic growth. To study this geography, I think alongside artists from Turkey who have attempted to represent the peripheries of Istanbul through a diverse series of mediums such as painting, photography, film, and mapping. I place these aesthetic insights in conversation with the 6-months of fieldwork I have conducted in Istanbul's peripheries where I organized collective walking tours, collected ethnographic notes, and conducted interviews with activists, artists, and construction workers. Last, I also provide a context for these aesthetic and ethnographic findings by bringing them in conversation with historical representations of infrastructure across Turkish politics.Drawing on this archive of artistic, activist, and intellectual work, the thesis proposes the term "affective ecologies of limitation" as a novel conceptualization of the idea of limitation and constraint in political ecology. Studying the limits of a megacity like Istanbul allows us to reconceptualize what we mean by a "limit" in the first place. Against understandings of limitation that are driven by scarcity and lack, affective ecologies of limitation describe the way in which limitation is inscribed within affect - the cultural, political economic and environmental formations within which images of finitude and limitation are registered as sensible and visceral. An affective ecology of limitation addresses how questions of political economy and subjectivity shape the ways in which certain environments are produced, distributed, and consumed as finite,and how this image of finitude shapes political economic understandings of ecology, materialism, labor, and technicity in turn. In developing this argument, I bring my archive in conversation with the work of Gilbert Simondon, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari on the one hand and eco-Marxist work focused on the critique of growth on the other. Thus, I bring together the critique of Istanbul's physical expansion with the critique of the imperative of economic expansion that has defined Turkish politics.The various chapters propose different models for thinking through ecological limitation that are all rooted in concrete sites and artistic works. Chapter 1 draws on my ethnographic work to study how the desire for economic growth can also articulate a popular and intimate authoritarianism. Chapter 2 deals with the question of materialism and engages with the work of the artist collective Hafriyat as well as Serkan Taycan's Between Two Seas, a four-day walking tour of the Western peripheries of Istanbul. Chapter 3 engages the work of ArtikIsler (SurplusWorks) video collective, the work of film makers Gulia Frati and Elizabeth Lo and photographer Bekir Dindar, to explore the limits of the wage relation. Chapter 4 thinks through the concept of the periphery as a technical and geographical term drawing on Taycan's photography as well as Latife Tekin's novel Berji Kristin: Tales from the Garbage Hills. The postscript ends the thesis by reflecting on the themes articulated throughout the thesis in relation to the two massive earthquakes that hit Turkey on February 6th, 2023.

520 $a "Ecologies affectives de la limitation : Art, infrastructure et ecologie dans les peripheries d'Istanbul" est une etude de la transformation des peripheries et des cotes d'Istanbul par la construction de projets de mega-infrastructure. Ce travail etudie les peripheries exterieures d'Istanbul pour rendre compte des transformations ecologiques et geographiques de la ville, de son expansion physique, de ses megaprojets perturbateurs et de sa fetichisation de la croissance economique. Pour etudier cette geographie, je pense aux cotes d'artistes turcs qui ont tente de representer les peripheries d'Istanbul a travers une serie diverse de mediums tels que la peinture, la photographie, le cinema et la cartographie. Je place ces idees esthetiques en conversation avec les 6 mois de travail de terrain que j'ai menes dans les peripheries d'Istanbul ou j'ai organise des visites collectives a pied, collecte des notes ethnographiques et mene des entretiens avec des militants, des artistes et des ouvriers du batiment. Enfin, je fournis egalement un contexte pour ces decouvertes esthetiques et ethnographiques en les mettant en conversation avec la representation historique de l'infrastructure a dans la politique turque.S'appuyant sur ces archives de travaux artistiques, militants et intellectuels, la these propose le terme « ecologies affectives de la limitation » comme une nouvelle conceptualisation de l'idee de limitation et de contrainte dans l'ecologie politique. Etudier les limites d'une megapole comme Istanbul nous permet de reconceptualiser ce que nous entendons par « limite » en premier lieu. Contre les conceptions de la limitation qui sont motivees par la rarete et le manque, les ecologies affectives de la limitation decrivent la maniere dont la limitation est inscrite dans l'affect - les formations culturelles, politiques, economiques et environnementales dans lesquelles les images de la finitude et de la limitation sont enregistrees comme sensibles et viscerales. Une ecologie affective de la limitation aborde la maniere dont les questions d'economie politique et de subjectivite faconnent les manieres dont certains environnements sont produits, distribues et consommes comme finis, et comment cette image de la finitude faconne les comprehensions economico-politiques de l'ecologie, du materialisme, du travail et de la technicite en retour. En developpant cet argumentaire, j'apporte mes archives en dialogue avec les travaux de Gilbert Simondon, Gilles Deleuze et Felix Guattari et les travaux eco-marxistes centres sur la critique de la croissance. Ainsi, je rassemble la critique de l'expansion physique d'Istanbul avec la critique de l'imperatif d'expansion economique qui a defini la politique turque.Les differents chapitres proposent differents modeles de reflexion sur la limitation ecologique qui s'enracinent tous dans des sites concrets et des oeuvres artistiques. Le chapitre 1 s'appuie sur mon travail ethnographique pour etudier comment le desir de croissance economique peut aussi articuler un autoritarisme populaire et intime. Le chapitre 2 traite de la question du materialisme et s'interesse au travail du collectif d'artistes Hafriyat ainsi qu'a Between Two Seas de Serkan Taycan, une visite a pied de quatre jours des peripheries occidentales d'Istanbul. Le chapitre 3 engage le travail du collectif video ArtikIsler (SurplusWorks), le travail des cineastes Gulia Frati et Elizabeth Lo et du photographe Bekir Dindar, pour explorer les limites de la relation salariale. Le chapitre 4 reflechit au concept de peripherie en tant que terme technique et geographique s'inspirant de la photographie de Taycan ainsi que du roman de Latife Tekin, Berji Kristin: Tales from the Garbage Hills. Le post-scriptum termine la these en reflechissant sur les themes articules tout au long de la these en relation avec les deux tremblements de terre massifs qui ont frappe la Turquie le 6 fevrier 2023.
