This collection of essays explores educational issues confronting educators and researchers from various disciplines. They are grouped into four sections, with the first, “Business Economics and Management”, discussing concepts such as contemporary urban theories, multiculturalism and the informal economy.

This book will mainly appeal to educators, researchers, and students involved in social sciences.
Turkish science fiction dates back to the early years of the twentieth century and serious development has been seen ever since. The writers, who escaped from the darkness of the First World War and took refuge in utopian science fiction, added the excitement created by science and technology to their texts over time. Turkish writers, who followed the science fiction works from the West and made efforts for the development of this genre, produced very qualified works that could compete with their contemporaries at some points. However, due to some historical, social, and economic problems, it was not possible for these works to meet readers in the West. In this anthology, the works of Turkis...
Since 2000, there has been a considerable effort in Turkish cinema to come to terms with the military's intervention in politics and subsequent national trauma. It has resulted in an outpouring of cinematic texts. This book focuses on women and Turkish cinema in the context of gender politics, cultural identity and representation. The central proposition of this book is that enforced depolticisation introduced after the coup is responsible for uniting feminism and film in 1980s Turkey. The feminist movement was able to flourish precisely because it was not perceived as political or politically significant. In a parallel move in the films of the 1980s there was an increased tendency to focus on the individual, on women's issues and lives, in order to avoid the overtly political. Women and Turkish Cinema provides a comprehensive view of cinema's approach to women in a country which straddles European and Middle Eastern cultural conceptions, identities and religious values and will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Film Studies, Gender Studies and Middle East Studies, amongst others.
This book, With(out) Trace: Inter-Disciplinary Investigations into Time, Space and the Body, unpacks many of the issues that surround the idea of trace: what we intentionally, an unintentionally, leave behind as well as how trace can help us to move forward. In particular this volume looks at how interdisciplinarity can suggest new ways of seeing and, subsequently, exploring interconnections between time, space and the body.

Considerations of the effect of trauma on heritage sites.
Hurufilik, Fazlullah tarafından XIV. yüzyıl İran’ında kurulmuş, izleri XVII. yüzyıla kadar Anadolu ve Balkanlarda takip edilebilen mistik ve felsefi bir akımdır. Hurufiliği iki dönemde değerlendirebiliriz: Birincisi, akımın Fazlullah ve öğrencileri tarafından kurulup temellerinin İran ve Azeri topraklarında atıldığı yaklaşık yarım yüzyıllık bir dönemi kapsar. İkinci dönem ise Aliyyu’l A’lâ, Mir (Seyyid) Şerif, Seyyid Nesimî ve Refi’î gibi Hurufi düşünürlerinin Fazlullah’ın ölümünden sonra Anadolu ve Suriye’ye geçmeleriyle başlayıp XVII. yüzyılda Balkanlarda devam eder. Hurufiliğin bu ikinci döneminin Osmanlı topraklar...
