For this end, the book has dedicated chapters for i) explaining immune cells taking part in immune response to biomaterials/immune systems interface; ii) the effect of biomaterial shape, form and physicochemical properties on the response of immune system; iii) biofilm formation on implanted materials as a failure of immune system/biomaterial interactions; iv) tissue-specific effects of immune response and its consequences for tissue engineering and regenerative medic...
Social Trauma and Telecinematic Memory
This book explores responses to authoritarianism in Turkish society through popular culture by examining feature films and television serials produced between 1980 and 2010 about the 1980 coup. Envisioned as an interdisciplinary study in cultural studies rather than a disciplinary work on cinema, the book advocates for an understanding of popular culture in discerning emerging narratives of nationhood. Through feature films and television serials directly dealing with the coup of 1980, the book exposes tropes and discursive continuities such as “childhood” and “the child”. It argues that these conventional tropes enable popular debates on the modern nation’s history and its myths of identity.
Hayalcan
"Affedersiniz, sanırım sizi tanıyorum." Yaşlı kadın gözkapakları düşmüş ela gözlerini Hayalcan'ın yüzüne dikti. "Sizi çıkaramadım, kendinizi tanıtmanızı istesem gücenir misiniz?" "Siz beni bugüne dek hiç görmediniz ama ben sizi çok iyi tanıyorum. Siz Pervin öğretmen değil misiniz? Adana'da bir dönem 29 Ekim İlkokulu'nda çalışmıştınız, öyle değil mi?" "Evet, ben Pervin öğretmenim. Nasıl oluyor da ben sizi hiç görmediğim halde siz beni tanıyorsunuz?" Bunları konuşurlarken ikisi birden apartmana girmişlerdi. Pervin, birinci katta olan evinin kapısına gelmişti. Otomatın düğmesine dokundu. Çantasından anahtarı çıkardı, ampulün ışığında oluşan gölgesiyle kararan kilidi görmek için yana çekilirken birden karartının tek olduğunun ayrımına vardı. Yanındaki adamın gölgesi yoktu. Elinde anahtar, öylece kalakaldı. "Senin gölgen yok" dedi hayret ve korku dolu bir sesle. Yayınevi: Cinius Yayınları
Studies on Cinematography and Narrative in Film: Sequels, Serials, and Trilogies
Visual continuity in sequels poses a daunting challenge for filmmakers as they strive to maintain coherence while expanding upon established narratives and visual aesthetics. With cinema's evolution, audiences' expectations have grown more sophisticated, demanding seamless transitions and immersive experiences across film series. However, achieving this continuity requires a delicate balance between honoring the original work and introducing innovative elements to captivate viewers. Addressing this complication is the book, Studies on Cinematography and Narrative in Film: Sequels, Serials, and Trilogies, which emerges with a comprehensive approach. By delving into the interplay between cinematography and narrative structure, this book offers invaluable insights for filmmakers seeking to navigate the complexities of sequel production. Through meticulous analysis of prominent film series and theoretical frameworks, it provides a roadmap for achieving visual coherence while pushing creative boundaries.
Rethinking Empowerment
Rethinking Empowerment looks at the changing role of women in developing countries and calls for a new approach to empowerment. An approach that adopts a more nuanced, feminist interpretation of power and em(power)ment, recognises that local empowerment is always embedded in regional, national and global contexts, pays attention to institutional structures and politics and acknowledges that empowerment is both a process and an outcome. Moreover, the book warns that an obsession with measurement rather than process can undermine efforts to foster transformative and empowering outcomes. It concludes that power must be restored as the centrepiece of empowerment. Only then will the term and its advocates provide meaningful ammunition for dealing with the challenges of an increasingly unequal, and often sexist, global/local world.
Turkey in the 21st Century
This unique book investigates the complex transformation of Turkey's foreign policy, focusing on changing threat perceptions and the reformulation of its Western identity. This transformation cannot be explained solely in terms of strategic choices or agency driven policies but encompasses power shifts and systemic transformations. Is Turkey shifting its axis? Will this affect its traditional Western-oriented foreign policy? The book begins by discussing the relationship between security and globalization, using examples of Turkey's regional positioning. It then focuses on to what extent the 'traditional' discourse on security in Turkish politics, which prevailed during the Cold War era and beyond, has undergone a change in the new era. This timely book is a much needed account of how pragmatism rather than ideology is the main determinant in Turkey's current foreign policy and should be read by all looking for a fresh and stimulating take on Turkey's response to globalization and the internationalization of security in the 21st Century.
Art, Feminism, and Community
"How do artists, communities, and art connect with one another? How might multiple feminist views be used to interpret art? Art, Feminism, and Community: Feminist Art Histories from Turkey, 1973-1998 examines the lives and communities of artists and their works from Turkey. It suggests that feminisms shape artists' relationships and practices. It analyses seven major case studies and details rarely seen paintings, installations, photographs, drawings, batik, and performance art from 1973 to 1998. The work brings together twenty artists and cultural figures in a world of multifaceted relationships that influence the creation of new art. Uncovering familial, professional, and friendship links, it recreates transnational networks, intellectual collectives, political alliances, and ethnic communities. It demonstrates how artists have analysed their own experiences in their works, reflecting the effects of their communities and lives, even though these themes have been mostly overlooked in Turkish art history."--
