Abstract

The author regrets that the abstract and keywords were not included in the published version of the article. The abstract is as follows: Exploring the construction of Istanbul Airport and drawing on Henri Lefebvre's spatial triad, this study defines “reconquest” as a new form of space and time production by the state–capital nexus. In the production of mental spaces, reconquest seeks to legitimize acts of creative destruction by reinterpreting narratives of imperial conquest. Using both in-depth interviews with workers and media reports, the study uncovers a systematic spatio-temporal precarity in the production of physical space. Adopting an intersectional perspective, the analysis considers the ethnic identity of Kurdish construction workers as a critical factor in understanding a particular mode of social relations of production, as well as their capacity to form social space and inclination to engage in dissent and resistance. The study aims to advance our understanding of the production of space and time by the state–capital nexus under neoliberal authoritarianism, as well as labor's capacity to assert its own spatial fix. Keywords: Space and time production; Reconquest; Neoliberal authoritarianism; precarity; Kurdish labor. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
