Özet
Leaving Istanbul Bilgi University on 22 May 2013, conveners of the Istanbul Seminars could not have guessed that less than a week later the arguments they had debated would be revisited under a new light. For little did anybody know that in the summer of 2013 Istanbul would become the stage of one of the most intriguing of urban uprisings in Turkish, if not contemporary, world history. In this article I would like to take up some of the challenges brought up by Gezi resistance to rethink the concept of democracy through the changing ways in which people engage with urban public spaces in Turkey, and beyond.
