“Cultural Extimacy”: Reframing Turkish–Greek Relations with Dr. Leonidas Karakatsanis

In this episode of Heritage Türkiye, we welcome Dr. Leonidas Karakatsanis, Assistant Professor at the University of Macedonia and former Assistant Director of the BIAA. Drawing on his extensive research into nationalism, reconciliation and the politics of culture and emotion, Dr. Karakatsanis discusses the role of civil society in Turkish–Greek relations, the challenges and rewards of multi-disciplinary research and the meaning of “cultural extimacy” beyond debates over shared cuisines. We also explore how discourse analysis functions in a post-truth era, the politics of hope and the shifting perspectives he has gained from teaching and researching across Türkiye, Greece and the UK.
