More than a Turn?
The “Colonial” in French Studies
Emmanuelle Saada
With the “colonial turn” in French studies now on the wane, this article attempts to assess its contributions. It suggests that one of the main thrusts of the “colonial turn” has been the reconsideration of the “Republic” as a framework for understanding modern French history: the colonies being the place where the Republic “contradicted itself” or, on the contrary, where its deepest tensions revealed themselves. While this perspective has been essential in underlining the importance of race in modern French history, it can be regarded as no more than an attempt to write a history of “France” enriched by the imperial perspective: indigenous worlds appear only secondarily in these analysis of the “imperial Republic.” This shortcoming echoes other criticisms that can be addressed to the “colonial turn” in French studies: the ahistorical use of the category of the “colonial” in the singular and the lack of satisfactory analysis of the “postcolonial.”

More Than Souvenirs
Lady Annie Brassey’s Curated Collections
Alison Clark, Catherine Harvey, Louise Kenward, and Julian Porter
Lady Annie Brassey (1839–1887) was a well-known Victorian travel writer who was also a collector, photographer, ethnographer, zoologist, and botanist and who traveled around the world aboard the privately owned yacht the Sunbeam. During these voyages she amassed a collection of approximately six thousand objects. Much more than tourist souvenirs, the collection shows a rigorous academic understanding of the disciplines she was collecting within. The ethnographic material, which makes up one-third of the collection, has gained little attention. Using her travel writing as a primary source, this article will interrogate Brassey’s role as the maker of this collection, someone whose class allowed her to travel and to pursue museum collection, curation, and education to a near-professional level. Through three case studies this article will consider how she collected and curated her own museum and used her collection for public benefit.

The contentious politics of human rights in Turkey
Elif M. Babül
This paper focuses on the ambivalent effects of the sudden human rights activism inflation and civil society development in Turkey between 2007 and 2011 – a period of provisional liberalisation of the socio‐political sphere that was accompanied by the professionalisation of the bureaucratic realm. I argue that contrary to the recent critical literature on such rights, which contends that liberalisation and bureaucratisation of human rights rhetoric have led to its de‐politicisation and de‐radicalisation in the post‐Cold War period, the particular political path of human rights in Turkey produced less streamlined, more complex results. While their transformation from a stigmatised rhetoric of radical opposition to a celebrated instrument for good governance has introduced parallel human rights initiatives and the emergence of an alternative interpretation of human rights in the official governmental realm, this did not lead to eliminating radical political interpretations. A careful examination of Turkey’s human rights circles reveals that (despite attempts to consolidate these rights as politically neutral, which fall within a single field and encourage a liberal vision of governance) the period under review is rather characterised by both an intensification of the discussions and negotiations between the many actors involved as well as by their confrontation.
