With the rise to power of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in the early 2000s in Turkey, the headscarf that used be looked down upon by the secular middle and upper classes moved to the mainstream. It has since become a symbol of desirable womanhood. This development has pushed Turkey's secular feminists, who had been critical of the headscarf ban, to the margins. This book is the first to trace this new phase of conservative gender politics by examining the images of women's headscarves across secular and Islamic news media. Based on the analysis of photographs and the columns of conservative women journalists, the book sheds light on how the AKP is transforming the image of womanhood. It also identifies the rise of the conservative female journalist as an important phenomenon in the country. Esra Özcan problematizes designators such as “Islamist women” or “Islamic feminists” and instead aims to understand these women in terms of their commitment to right-wing activism and politics, which has so far been ignored. An original contribution to feminist scholarship on Muslim women, this book draws on the unique perspectives of Visual Culture and Communication Studies.
The Ottoman Empire covered a vast territory for more than five centuries and was therefore a multi-ethnic and multicultural state from the very beginning. Due to the need to negotiate military, political and economic matters both within and outside its borders, the state relied on the services of interpreters.

Until the modernisation efforts of the 18th century, translation was mainly seen as a facilitating or ancillary activity in the diplomatic context. The primary aim of this collection is to comprehensively analyse...
As the outcome of the sixth international congress, the papers in this volume cover a wide range of topics related to the main theme of the conference, titled “Current Debates in Social Sciences”, and basically focus on economics and econometrics. Even though most of the papers deal with the empirical analysis, there are also studies on economic debate. In this context, the articles in the book draw attention to the different aspects of economics and econometrics such as behavioural economics, exchange rate, export and import relations in Turkey, electricity consumption and growth relations, game theory, health status of females ,impact of the Chinese economy on Turkish economy. We believe that these studies would contribute to the development of debates in social sciences and encourage interdisciplinary approaches.

Other sections cover current challenges relating to plastic waste, explain the sources of waste and their routes into the environment, and provide systematic coverage of plastic waste treatment methods, including mechanical processing, monomerization, blast furnace feedstocks, gasification, thermal recycling, and conversion to fuel. This is an essential guide for anyone involved in plastic waste or recycling, including researchers and advanced students across plastics engineering, polymer science, polymer chemistry, environmental science, and sustainable materials.
Teknoloji ile edebiyat arasındaki ilişki, baskı teknolojilerinin yazınsal üretime etkilerinde ve bilim kurgu anlatılarında kendini gösterir. Bununla birlikte teknolojinin varlığıyla romanda gerçekçi bir kurgu da sağlanmaktadır. Çağdaş Türk Romanında Teknolojik Gerçeklik adlı bu çalışma, teknolojinin gerçekçi romanın kurgu ve içerik düzlemlerindeki etkisi ve görünümünü belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada Türk romanının gelişim sürecinde teknolojinin hangi bağlamlarda görüldüğü seçilmiş örnekler üzerinden gösterilmeye çalışılmış ve yazınsal metnin çözümlenişinde teknolojiye yüklenilen işlevlerin neler olduğu ve gerçekçi bir kurgunun sağlanması için teknolojinin nasıl ele alındığı sorularına yanıt aranmıştır.
