This paper analyzes gendered practices of divination in Turkey as a subaltern vernacular for those disadvantaged along the multiple axes of heteropatriachal hierarchies and as a medium of navigating gendered and sexualized marginalization. Intimate publics formed around divination offer a safer venue for women and queer folk to explore their desires in context of a disciplining and moralizing public sphere colored by a reinvented gender traditionalism and masculinist violence.
