Nationalism and nationhood are not authentic outcomes of a static ethnicity but are a contingent product of the nation-state era. Nations, nationality, and nationhood are socially-produced concepts, constantly contested, negotiated, reinforced, or rejected, by contending actors. Beginning from a constructionist perspective, this dissertation identifies the changing nature of Turkish nationalism as it confronted the challenges posed by Kurdish mobilizations since the post-World War I era. Since then, public proclamations of Turkish state officials have clashed with self-identifications of Kurdish rebels and/or demonstrators as the definitions of nationhood have been negotiated and conflicting understandings of citizenship have been produced interactively. These meanings are often coded in a legalistic language which masks and holds together an ambiguity at the heart of the state and its nation. This deep ambiguity, which rests in official idioms of nationhood and citizenship and have been framed both in territorial/civic/political and ethno-national/cultural idioms of national unity, has proved to be a dynamic mechanism, and is revealed in the face of political challenges on behalf of Kurdish ethnicity, culminating in a contestation of definitions of citizenship in the last quarter of the 20th century. This argument is presented by focusing on political processes such as parliamentary debates, demonstrations, and court proceedings, within which contesting parties interpreted these mobilizations with contending definitions of nationhood. Despite the certainty assigned to these claims by the contending actors, the ambiguous definitions of state-making nationalism provided a cultural ecology of opportunities of negotiating interpretations of citizenship and nationhood.
