This dissertation analyzes a diverse array of everyday and artistic performances to demonstrate the role fashion has played in regulating the gendered politics of citizenship and belonging in Turkey. The project argues that the concept of the nation-state, imagined as a site where a nation formed by individuals sharing a history, cultural and ethnic heritage coincides with a sovereign territorial unit, is by definition utopian. Nation-states depend on a constructed history to legitimize their existence and the continuous investment of individuals living in the present to create a desired future. Hence the regulation of everyday life as well as the bodies and subjectivities of people is a key concern for the sustenance of nation-state utopias. As a temporally defined and continuously changing set of practices that produce affect and knowledge in and through bodies, fashion plays a key role in these processes. As a mode of embodied historiography, fashion also reproduces or challenges specific formulations of national history, and shapes individuals' desires and imaginations for the future.
