dc.description.abstractTraffic congestion profoundly marks Istanbul's everyday, in part, by casting drivers as competitors for time and space. Navigating traffic entails many driver maneuvers that are seemingly 'unfair' or 'wrong' such as line cutting, driving in the emergency lane, parking in prohibited areas, running lights, etc. As such, drivers carefully detail contingencies and circumstances within which some of their ostensibly problematic actions can be deemed acceptable. Within these narratives are also buried processes of emerging as moral subjects albeit filled with ambiguities and contradictions. This paper brings together mobility studies, the anthropology of traffic and the anthropology of ethics/morality to provide ethnographic detail into the everyday of experiencing automobility in Istanbul as a morally complex and formative arena. It is based on a year's fieldwork with 45 drivers of diverse vehicles recounting their struggles as they try to maintain a sense of 'conscience' while they reach their destination, sometimes at the expense of others.en_US
