Abstract

This article revisits the idea of homeland in the Kurdish Freedom Movement, challenging static, cartographic understandings. By combining cultural and political geography with feminist geopolitics and post‑statist epistemologies, it frames homeland as a political project whose spatiality is relational, grounded in autonomy, women’s liberation, ecology, and self‑defence.
