The Changing Leadership Roles of »Dedes« in the Alevi Movement - Deniz Cosan Eke
48,00 inkl. MwSt
What is the function of clerical leadership in Alevism based on sociocultural and political understandings? To answer that complex question, Deniz Cosan Eke examines the political, cultural, and religious debates surrounding Alevis and the Alevi movement in relation to the ideas and claims of the Turkish state, Alevi communities in Turkey, and migrant Alevi communities in Germany. The book, which focuses on the emergence of collective emotions in religious rituals, the struggle of religious groups in migration processes, and the leadership role of clergy in social movements, is of great interest to a wide readership.

Deniz Coan Eke (Dr. phil.) is currently working as a postdoc researcher in Alevi Theological Studies at the University of Vienna in Austria. She received her Ph.D. in Social and Cultural Anthropology from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany. She has been a visiting researcher on transnational migration, religious groups, and interreligious dialogue at the University of Roskilde, the University of Westminster, and the University of Cambridge. She is the author of "The Changing Leadership Roles of "Dedes" in the Alevi Movement: Ethnographic Studies on Alevi Associations in Turkey and Germany from the 1990s to the Present" (Bielefeld: Transcript, 2021). She is co-editor with Eric Trinka of Religion, Religious Groups and Migration (Transnational Press, London, 2023).
