Collaboration in Media Studies
This volume offers new perspectives on knowledge production through various forms of togetherness. Via diverse cases of collaboration in media studies, from methodological contemplations to on‐the‐field social practices, the book proposes reflections and inquiries around collective research, media, and action. The collection rethinks how scholarly endeavours feature different ways of doing and being together, identifying new and more diverse communicative spaces, challenging dichotomies, and encouraging critical perspectives. Scholars of a variety of disciplines recontextualise collaboration beyond the very nature of conventional academic approaches, to embrace vast connotations of media...
Memories-1 "The Jews of Izmir, Ankara, Eskisehir"
In this book, in the first chapter, I wrote the story of my grandmother and her family, beginning in Turkey, Eskisehir, the Benforma couple's family tree will eventually cover a much wider region including not only Ankara, Izmir and Istanbul but also Israel, Holland and the US.

I see it as my responsibility to pass on these facts to the next generations ..

It is also one of the birthplaces of a widely practiced variant of Islam: Sufism. Contemporary analysts suggest that Sufism is on the decline due to war and the ideological hardening that results from societies in conflict. However, in Sufi Civilities, Annika Schmeding argues that this is far from a truthful depiction. Members of Sufi communities have worked as resistance fighters, aid workers, business people, actors, professors, and daily workers in creative and ingenious ways...

Altan Gürman
Every endeavour to review and write the history of contemporary art in Turkey calls upon the name of a pioneering, founding artist who marks a turning point, a moment of beginning: Altan Gürman (1935-1976).
