Images (II)
IMAGES (II) - Images of the Poor offers readers a cross-section of current research on the perception of poverty and on contemporary and historical representations of poverty coming from a variety of fields in people's daily lives. The fact that the international group of contributors to this book come from very different cultural, ideological, scientific/academic perspectives, and backgrounds is adding even more to the diversity of thought and ideas documented. The arguments presented help to raise the social awareness needed to break the vicious circle of poverty. (Series: Anthropology / Ethnologie - Vol. 52)
The Transformational Process of the Presidency of Religious Affairs in Turkey
This article focuses on the historically complex relations between the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) and the Turkish state. It asserts that the Diyanet, from its establishment in 1924 to the present time, has experienced transformation from a strictly state-controlled institution to a more autonomous one. This transformational process transpired, sometimes overtly and sometimes covertly, within the borders of the secular state. In exploring this process, the article analyzes the ways in which the institution’s position has gradually risen within the state’s constitution and how its religious discourses, statements, and activities have changed from nationalistic to holistic.
Maternal Breast-Feeding and Its Substitutes in Nineteenth-Century French Art
In Maternal Breast-Feeding and Its Substitutes in Nineteenth-Century French Art, Gal Ventura investigates the ideological concepts behind the endorsement of maternal breast-feeding in modern Western society. Using diverse visual and textual sources and surveying hundreds of artworks produced from the time of the French Revolution to the beginning of the twentieth century, Ventura reveals the historical, political, religious, and economic factors that shaped the representations of breast-feeding and its substitutes in French art. She thus sheds light on the changing attitudes toward maternal breast-feeding in nineteenth-century France, which have had a considerable impact on the glorification of breast-feeding in the Western world to this very day.

Juggling Between Two Worlds
Migration has been a life event for many Afghans during the past decades, with mass exoduses due to war, insecurity, and poverty. This book explores how Hazara migrant women reinterpret their narration of "self", ventilates opinions of their migratory lives and analyses ways Afghan immigrant women experience life in Germany. It presents an understanding how they experience sociocultural change as a consequence of their migratory experiences. It identifies contradictions in how Afghan immigrant women negotiate identity, belonging to and acquire status in the new society.
IMAGES (III) - Images of the City

Game-vertising Dijital Çağda Oyunlaştırma ve Reklam
Kabul etmek gerekir ki, Web 2.0 kavramının telaffuz edildiği 2004 yılından bu yana, etrafımız giderek akıllanan internet, onu kullanabileceğimiz mobil cihazlar ve sayısı belirsiz uygulamalar ile çevrili hale geldi. İnsanlık tarihinin binler hatta on binlerce yıllık geçmişinde benzerine rastlanmayan hızda gerçekleşen bir dönüşüm sürecini de tetikleyen teknolojik gelişmeler, yine tarihte sınırlı sayıda söz konusu olan kırılma noktalarından birini ortaya çıkardı demek sanırım yanlış olmaz. Elbette bu süreçten markalar da etkilendi. Dijitalleşmenin gölgesinde pazara, tüketiciye, pazarlama ve reklam çalışmalarına yeni bir bakış açısıyla yakl...
