We, Anna N. and Barb/Brab, started an exchange of thoughts about the meaning of "aut" – as in aut/istic and aut/oimmune. We are interested in what it means to live as auts, to write about it in regard to everydaily life, in regard to the medical discourses about autism and autoimmunity, and in regard to the view of the "others", the not-auts. In the context of language-based artistic research we seek to develop practices that allow for investigating the meaning of aut on different levels of our existence. * (Speaking out and at the same time speaking as auts, but also speaking in a language called "aut")

This article looks from a psychoanalytic-cultural approach to the ideologies and economy-politics in the truths and narratives around these places and events concerning ethnic, religious and national identities, and offers two opinions into a psycho-cultural narrative of parks, monumental places and genocides in Turkey. The complex is the collision of the secular and the sacred, for which the article presents a detailed interpretation of the material/wordly and the religious/otherworldly.

In the humanities and cultural sciences, the humor for fictionalizing a “truth” is described as “mocking”. Though it is more encountered in human sciences, this mode of structuration of events, happenings is also a significant concept in the STEM sciences.

There has been an overwhelming mediatization of corruption, pandemics, wars and conflicts for decades going on through the 2000s. When the “Israel-Hamas War” had just begun in the fall of 2023, for instance, the mainstream media was covering it with wordy psycho-politics. Instead, what I suggest in this article is a detour to a centennial relevance for the psychopolitics of Israeli, Turkey, the USA and current global realities. A relevance that was missing in the psychopolitical realities of countries founded in the interwar and post-war world. Comparing two countries of these stages, Israel to Turkey, I think they are similar in regards to the constitution of national identity politics. It is Sigmund Freud’s relevance shrouded in the shadows for a century, which is not merely a relevance of his own. His work is as powerful a founder of psychoanalysis as the foundations of countries like Turkey and Israel.
