"Gendered Fortunes contributes to multiple disciplines like gender studies, Middle Eastern studies, critical theory, and social sciences. Beyond all the theoretical novelty, conceptual clarity, and historical complexity, anthropologists and ethnographers will particularly enjoy meeting the many eccentric but familiar characters coming alive through Korkman's masterfully crafted ethnography. Gendered Fortunes is poised to become the go-to fun and interesting text in undergraduate anthropology syllabi to teach gender, religion, and secularism in postsecular Turkey."
Deniz Duruiz, American Anthropologist
"This book is innovative, thought-provoking, and well-written. It offers novel insights for scholars interested in feminist scholarship on gendered labour and its affective modalities in the age of neoliberalism. Moreover, it is a necessary read for those who aim to grasp the shifting terms of the affective atmosphere in the political sphere and public culture of millennial Turkey and how divination publics constitute novel public arrangements at the intersection of gender precarities, emotions, affect, neoliberalism and postsecularism."
Didem Unal, Feminist Encounters
