The patriotic socialization of conscripts within the army takes two overlapping forms: theoretical and practical. "Training in love for one's country" takes place smoothly through the repetition of patriotic norms. It defines from above the contours of a collective identity, whether patriotic, national or state. This identity is in keeping with the nationalism of Ataturk and contains a law and order component that is organized around the paradigm of dangers and threats. Yet, while this theoretical training in love for one's country seeks to federate the population, practical training by way of internal war shatters this consensus by creating group solidarities that divide the population. In Turkey, learning patriotism thus consists of two aspects which, while mutually reinforcing one another, have contradictory effects. Adapted from the source document.

This paper aims at observing and dissecting the unusual daily life of armed groups, through the analysis of its impact on the taking and holding of fighting roles. By choosing both the commandos of the Turkish army and the PKK guerillas as practical cases, the aim is to distinguish between logics that fall more specifically within an specific fighting institution and logics that involve violent and conflictual dynamics characteristic of the Turkey-Kurd conflict. We argue that the internalization of discipline on a daily basis, in the continuity of primary socialization provided in educational institutions or otherwise out with her, which, in the context of war favoring the delivery of self and the subjection, allowing the production and the holding of fighters roles. Our argument starts with the most formal socialization and ends with the most informal, and is divided into three parts: first, the preliminary and continuous training of fighters, secondly the influence of warfare context on the daily incorporation of institutional rules and standards, and lastly the constant informal reproduction of cultural differentiation and of the figure of the enemy.
