From Opinions to Images
Ulus Baker (1960 - 2007) was a Turkish-Cypriot sociologist, philosopher, and public intellectual. He was born in Ankara, Turkey in 1960. He studied Sociology at Middle East Technical University in Ankara, where he taught as a lecturer until 2004. Baker wrote prolifically in influential Turkish journals and made some of the first Turkish translations of various works of Gilles Deleuze, Antonio Negri, and other contemporary political philosophers. His profuse and accessible work and the novelty of the issues he enthusiastically introduced to Turkish-speaking intellectual circles, earned him a widely spread positive reputation in early age. He died in 2007 in Istanbul. The text in this edition ...
Non-Conceptual Negativity: Damaged Reflections on Turkey
Non-Conceptual Negativity: Damaged Reflections on Turkey critiques those who have accused Deleuze of an unbounded affirmation which, according to them, has played directly into the hands of capitalist modes of production. Yet no one has acknowledged that under the aegis of nano-fascism, late capitalism has grown into Neanderthal capitalism, invented and developed in laboratory countries like Turkey with the aid of an international Neanderthal league. Layer upon layer, Aracagök explains in fragmentary fashion that it is not only a matter of how Turkey has grown into a prime laboratory of nano-fascism with the aid of the US and European Union, but also how the results obtained from this labor...
Sanat ve Arzu
Sanat ve Arzu, sosyal bilimler eleştirisi ile yeni bir sosyal bilim önerisini birlikte geliştiren Ulus Baker’in ODTÜ Görsel-İşitsel Sistemler Araştırma ve Üretim Merkezi’nde 1998 yılında verdiği seminer dizisinin kitaplaştırılmış hali. Ulus Baker 17. yüzyıldan başlayıp Kant’la devam eden temel modern özneleşme süreçlerini Deleuze’ün kılavuzluğunda ele alıyor. Spinoza, Descartes, Leibniz, Kant felsefelerine hep sanatla bağıntısını da gözeterek, bunlardan bir estetik çıkartılabilir mi diye bakıyor. Sonra, resimde 19. yüzyıl sonunda başlayan dönüşümleri ele alıyor; imge üretimi bakımından sinemaya eğiliyor; sinemanın anlam üretme tar...
Siyasal Dilde Huzur Söylemi
“Karşılaştığımız bu ‘politik’ İslâm belki ‘iktidara’ bile gelebilir. Ama gerçek anlamda toplumsal yaşantıyı dönüştürme yetisine sahip değildir. Bunun temel nedeni ise, İslâmi projelerin İslâm’dan ve tek tanrıcı dinlerden bile önce toplumsal yaşama içkin olarak bulunan bir ‘heteroloji’ bilgisine sahip olmamaları, hattâ ifade edildikleri yerde onlara katlanamamalarıdır. ‘Bizim iktidarımızda her görüş kendini ifade edebilecek’ düzleminde verilen bir söz, İslâm’ın ‘otokton’, dolaysız bir vaadi olmaktan çok, siyasal güç istemi içinde, ‘bükemediğin eli öp’ misali rıza göstermek zorunda kaldığı bir ‘görüş bildi...
Indexing It All
A critical history of the modern tradition of documentation, tracing the representation of individuals and groups in the form of documents, information, and data. In this book, Ronald Day offers a critical history of the modern tradition of documentation. Focusing on the documentary index (understood as a mode of social positioning), and drawing on the work of the French documentalist Suzanne Briet, Day explores the understanding and uses of indexicality. He examines the transition as indexes went from being explicit professional structures that mediated users and documents to being implicit infrastructural devices used in everyday information and communication acts. Doing so, he also traces...
Vision
In this textbook on the physiology of vision, Buser and Imbert synthesize the data in the field, proceeding from the biophysics of retinal receptors to processing in the visual areas of the cortex. Although the focus is on mammalian studies, some data from comparative physiology are included. In just five chapters the authors cover the structure and organization of the retina, the physical characteristics of visual stimuli, the psychophysical laws of visual sensation (absolute thresholds, retinal adaptation, visual acuity, temporal resolution, movement perception, color vision, and stereopsis), the genesis and elaboration of signals in the retina, and mechanisms in the central visual pathway...
Social Media and Politics in Turkey
This book focuses on media and zeroes in some critical and oppositional aspects of internet usage within Turkey. It does not radically challenge some works on Turkey’s recent grand narrative but presents empirical and minor accounts to this. However, in elaborating the long history of relatively resilient and multilayered oppositional digital media networks in Turkey, this book insists that an idea of authoritarian turn may be misleading as the internet communications are exposed to repressive measures and surveillance tactics from the very beginning of the country’s recent past. While discussing from citizen journalism practices to political trolls and from Gezi Park protests to disinformation campaigns, this book pays tribute to digital activists and points out that mobilizing through digital networks can present glimmers of hope in challenging authoritarian regimes.
Autonomous Archiving
As an institutional practice, archival practices often tent to serve to colonization, surveillance and discipline society of the Modern world. In the last ten years, with the digital technology and social movement detecting, recording and accumulating images become a civil activity. Thus, archiving videos and other types of visual images brought also non-institutional practices and as well contemporary discussions related to image, open source, collectivity and forensics. Beside interviews with video activists; this book compiles several writers’ articles on their practices and discussions of archives from several angles: forensics, decolonization and commons. The term “archiving” in d...
