Abstract
This article discusses the relationship between affective body politics and gendered norms of urban belonging in Istanbul, Turkey. As I will show, there are specific bodily imaginations and affective desires that tie a classed and racialized appearance to imaginations of modernity, femininity and urban belonging. In Turkey’s largest city, Istanbul, bodily self-fashioning is about expressing and sometimes producing spatial and social difference and distinction. Drawing on Engin Isin’s conceptualization of the everyday ‘acts’ through which subjects constitute themselves as citizens, I propose the notion of ‘aesthetic citizenship’ to highlight the crucial role of beautification and adherence to gender norms for those constructed as female in a competitive urban environment. Gendered, classed and racialized bodies, I argue, are constituted and classified through a ‘visual economy of recognition’ that turns them into tokens of urban belonging or a visceral sense of extraneousness.
