Abstract

Kavga/Kervan is a magazine published by the London chapter of the Turkish Communist Party between 1991 and 1998. Rıza Yürükoğlu, the editor is credited as the main architect of the magazine’s intellectual structure. This article will use discourse analysis to examine the relationship between Alevism and socialism as postulated by the magazine and its editor. It aims to analyse the efforts of the magazine as a platform to unite Alevis and socialists in Turkish socialist history even if the magazine may not have had as much impact on the Alevi and socialist collectives in Turkey and abroad. Abstract in Kurmanji: Têkoşîna gihandina Elewiyên dîasporayê û çîna karkeran: Elewîzm di kovara Kavga/Kervanê de Kervan/Kavga kovareke e ku ji teref beşa Londonê ya Partiya Komunîst a Tirkiyeyê di navbera salên 1991 û 1998an de hatiye çapkirin. Rıza Yörükoğlu, edîtor, weke avakerê esasî ya pêkhateya entelektuel a kovarê hatiye nîşandan. Ev xebat, wê tehlîla vegotinê bi kar bîne bo nirxandina têkiliya di nav Elewîzm û sosyalîzmê de, weke ji teref kovar û edîtorê wê hatiye ferzkirin. Ev gotar armanc dike ku hewlên vê kovarê tehlîl bike, ya ku weke platformeke Elewî û sosyalîstên di dîroka sosyalîst a Tirkiyeyê de bigihîne hev, digel ku kovar xwedî vê tesîrê nebe jî li ser Elewî û kolektîfên sosyalîst ên li Tirkiyeyê û derve.
