Biomaterials of Life
Biomaterials of Life
Bodies for Profit and Power
Early dystopian science fiction like George Orwell's 1984 or Thea von Harbou's Metropolis show us bleak worlds where capitalism has no boundaries and has corrupted sovereign powers, exploiting the lower classes and benefiting only a few at the top. Political laws and policies related to human life--or the biopolitical--devalue that life, making humanity little more than expendable "machines" producing for capitalism, and capitalism's focus on progress has made it a central concern in much of science fiction. Covering science fiction from the early 1900s to present, this book examines the portrayal of dystopian capitalism and the biopolitical in works like Brave New World and R.U.R., among many others.
Tezahür
Ben kendimi bildim bileli yalnızdım. Kalabalıklar içinde bile! Sonra fark ettim ki yalnız olan ben değilmişim. Yalnızlık bende vuku bulmuş. Ben kendimi bildim bileli mutluydum. Mutsuzlukların içindeyken bile. Sonra fark ettim ki mutlu olan ben değilmişim. Mutluluk bana vaki olmuş.Ben kendimi bildim bileli arayış içindeydim. Yerimden kıpırdamasam bile. Sonra fark ettim ki, arayan ben değilmişim. Aradığım benim için yola çıkmış, kendisini bulayım diye.Arayan bir adamın öyküsü var bu kitapta.Yalnız ama mutlu bir adamın..Bir rengin bile kendisini ifade etmek için bir yüzeye ihtiyacı varken,Ben kim oluyordum ki,Bana tezahür edenleri yazmayayım. Bu yüzden bir kitabı okur gibi okuma bu kitabı.Bir renge bakar gibi bak. Ama yargılama.İyi veya kötü deme. Çünkü yargılamadan baktığında anlayacaksın,Yazanın da,Okuyanın da,Aynı olduğunu.
Ethnicity and Elections in Turkey
Ethnicity and Elections in Turkey attempts to understand the mobilization strategies of incumbent parties to consolidate and increase their support among swing voters of an ethnic group. By analyzing the strategy of AKP on voters of Kurdish origin, it investigates the conditions under which it can mobilize them through the clientelistic network and its effectiveness in increasing support for the party. This investigation is conducted through a district and neighborhood level case study conducted in the districts of Beyoğlu, Sancaktepe and Beykoz situated in Istanbul. The main hypotheses are tested through five different steps. Firstly, an examination of electoral results identifies a large ...
Western Democracy and the AKP
Upturning the typical view of Turkey’s democratic trajectory as a product of authoritarian assault or unfortunate circumstances, this book argues that the AKP, first elected in 2002, has consistently advanced a narrative of democracy as the work of an elite working for the 'National Will'. Beginning with an analysis of the historical processes that led to the AKP’s rise at the beginning of the 21st century, the book then focuses on the AKP since 2002. Though Turkey’s democratic transition was originally characterised by Western co-operation, the author outlines the gradual deterioration of these relations since the 2010s, as well as the decline of political rights, freedom of expressio...
Elections and Public Opinion in Turkey
The volume sheds light on the backsliding process of Turkish democratization from the early 2010's until 2018. In addition to historical contextualization, the book analyzes data collected through a nationally representative survey of Turkish voters during the 2018 elections and data available by the Supreme Election Board (YSK) in a pre-and post-election panel design. A more centralized administration of elections that are directly under the control of the central government brought reliability of election results as well as the free and fair nature of the elections in question. Mobilization efforts of the parties, as well as the varying degree of influence of the economy, appear to have si...
Peace in Turkey 2023
Peace in Turkey 2023: The Question of Human Security and Conflict Transformation, by Tim Jacoby and Alpaslan zerdem, explores how the Kurdish conflict could possibly be transformed towards positive peace. By drawing on peace, conflict transformation and human security theories, Peace in Turkey 2023 seeks to redress a long-felt concern in Turkey: how to address the current challenge of establishing sustainable peace in the country. What will Turkey look like at its Republic's centenary celebrations in 2023? Will it be able to resolve the Kurdish crisis through peaceful means and successfully transform the conflict towards positive peace? Will it be a country of peace, prosperity, rule of law, and democracy, or will the current violence intensify and continue to polarize society? To address these questions, Jacoby and zerdem use scenario-writing derived from peace theory to highlight new ways to consider political violence and the future of Turkey, this study will appeal to both specialist and non-specialist students and teachers from a diverse range of disciplinary backgrounds.
Kadınlığım, Yazarlığım, Yurdum
Yirmi yılda öykülerin, romanların dışında ne çok yazı kaleme almışım! Kavga yazıları, barış yazıları, içe bakış yazıları... Edebiyat, seyahat düşünceleri... Yitirdiklerimizin ardında kalan boşluğun ve acının yazıları... Kadın olmakla yazar olmanın kesiştiği noktada duran, kadınlığını yazma yeteneğiyle birlikte keşfetmiş bir insanın, hep acılar çekmiş ve çektirmiş bir yurdun kaygılı yurttaşının, kadınların özgürlüğü ve laik toplum düzeni için mücadele etmiş bir insanın yazıları bunlar. Erendiz Atasü ilk kez yazarlığının yirminci yılında yayımlattığı bu kitabında, önce kendisine kadın, yazar ve yurttaş olarak eleştirel bakıyor; sonra yurduna ve içinde yer aldığı feminist harekete. Bugünlerin gelişini otuz yıl önceden görebilenlerin çırpınışlarına, kavrayışsızlığa çarpan uyarılarına tanıklık ediyor. Bu kitap, aynı zamanda hem bir yazarın kendi edebiyatını eleştirebilmesi bakımından hem de son on yılların sancılı sürecini kadınlar için belgelemesi açısından güncelliğini yitirmemiş bir yapıt.
The Octopus
Diversity in artistic research This book presents the results of the Octopus Programme, an innovative fellowship in the field of artistic research. This international network of eleven institutions included selected participants from Europe, the Mediterranean, and Africa, and generated numerous events, workshops, and exhibitions. By promoting international collaboration, new critical perspectives were developed to investigate the diversity of artistic research and practice in different contexts – academic as well as nonacademic – inside and outside institutions, or in relation to resources. This brings into focus not only different curatorial models, but also different modes of knowledge production. Artistic research and collaboration between academies, art institutions, students, and experts Curatorial forms of presentation, research and documentation, progressive educational methodology Contributions by Ruth Anderwald / Leonhard Grond, Jonatan Habib Engqvist, Maria Lantz, Barbara Putz-Plecko, Johan Thom, and others
