A Turkish scholar who is not listened to, then listened to when he is dressed differently, everyone knows the apologue of the Little Prince. Turkey : a textbook case for East-West international relations, from the Ottoman Empire to Atatürk and his revolution. The angle of attack here is clothing, Turkey having imported it from Europe in proportions closely linked to ideology, depending on the period. We see values such as modesty, secularism and gender emerge within this cultural game. The veil itself is invited as a character in this shadow play.
