This book explores Turkey’s complicated relationship to modernity and its status within the new global order by tracing the ambivalent ways in which taşra (the provinces) is constituted in contemporary Turkish cinema and literature. Connoting much more than its immediate spatial meaning as those places outside of the center(s), taşra is a way of naming what modernity decries as spatial peripherality, temporal belatedness, and cultural backwardness. It has functioned historically as a psychosocial repository for what Turkish modernity degrades and disavows, enabling a mapping of the predicaments and contradictions of Turkish modernization and national identity-constitution. Organized around taşra as its central analytic and informed by postcolonial, psychoanalytical, and critical theory, the book examines the extent to which dominant codings of taşra are affirmed and/or complicated in cinematic and literary narratives by award-winning filmmakers Nuri Bilge Ceylan and Fatih Akın and Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk.

This book analyzes how AKP’s embedded intellectuals operate as media spin doctors, exploring their transformation from passionately engaged intellectuals into apparatchiks. This project adapts a post-Soviet geography approach to the media, intelligentsia, and political discourse as derivative of authoritarian regimes to the Turkish context.

Situated in the literature on the post-Soviet authoritarian regimes and their ways of governing, as well as their manipulation of public opinion, the book analyzes AKP-aligned intellectuals as apparatchiks.

Conspiracy theories are no longer just a curiosity for afficionados but a politically salient theme in the age of Trump, Brexit and "fake news". One of the countries that has been entrapped in conspiratorial visions is Turkey, and this book is the first comprehensive survey in English of the Turkish conspiratorial mind-set. It provides a nuanced overview of the discourses of Turkish conspiracy theorists and examines how these theorists argue for and legitimize their worldview. The author discusses a broad range of conspiracy theories, including some influenced by Kemalist and Islamist perspectives as well as those of the ruling Justice and Development Party. The most influential authors, books, references and images within the conspiracist milieu are all examined in detail. This book will be an important source for scholars interested in extremism in Turkey and the societal and political impact of conspiracy theories.
4 ilâ 6 yaşlarındaki çocukların devam ettiği bir sınıfa hoca oldun. Heyecanlısın. Neler olacak sınıfta merak ediyorsun? Kaygılısın. Neyi ne kadar anlatacağını bilemiyorsun. Şaşkınsın. Hem çocukların merakları törpülenmesin istiyorsun hem sınırlarını iyi çizmek istiyorsun. Ümitlisin.

Okuyana şifa olsun duasıyla baskıya gönderdik.

Çocuğunuzun gözlerinin içine bakın ve orada kendi içinizdeki çocuğu görmeye çalışın. İçinizdeki çocuk da sizden sevgi, ilgi ve eğitim bekliyor.” Dışımızdaki çocuklar kadar “İçimizdeki büyümemiş, gelişmemiş çocuklar” da eğitime muhtaç. Dahası içimizdeki çocuğu büyütmeden, dünyaya gelmelerine vesile olduğumuz çocuklarımızı yetiştirme, eğitme şansımız hiç yok. Onun için artık “İçimizdeki Çocuk da Büyüsün” diyor; “Çocuğumuzla beraber kendimizi eğitme” yolculuğunda hepimize hayırlı, neşeli seyirler temenni ediyorum.

Modern medicine is increasingly characterised by the division of labour. Therefore, this process as well as the concepts of delegation and substitution need to be clarified on a juridical basis. Accordingly, this dissertation is an approach to answer relevant questions of medical law, such as: Which concrete medical processes can be carried out based on the division of labour without risking legal steps regarding liability or pay to be taken? Based on distinct principles of medical law, the author thus develops a systematic framework for the division of medical labour. In this regard, an applicable and simultaneously docmatically substantiated method is focussed. Die moderne Medizin ist zune...
