It contains short fiction and long-form reportage; distinctive photo essays and revealing interviews. Even though it was born in the city where east meets west (as the love-worn cliche goes), the magazine seeks to transcend the loaded dichotomies of Istanbul’s favourite metaphor, and extends its gaze far beyond the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name “212” comes from the area code for Istanbul, but it also happens to be the area code for New York – a piece of misdirection that’s characteristic of the magazine’s ethos: as soon as you try too hard to close in on your subject it has a habit of defying you. Rather than pigeonholing ideas into narrow parameters, 212’s contributors trace connections that will surprise and delight.Each issue is centered around a loose theme and has two editions: English and Turkish. \u003cem\u003e212\u003c\/em\u003e aims to be as challenging as it is influential – to provide an inclusive space for ideas and perspectives to mix without prejudice and better interrogate social, artistic and cultural phenomena from the region and around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indent - Books and Magazines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48157066035363,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/1066\/7683\/files\/212-1633286copy_c8b30de2-efab-4490-8ee6-d3e60f23406d.jpg?v=1789679809","url":"https:\/\/www.indent-magazines.com\/products\/212-21","provider":"Indent","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
