Iltebir Umd 0117E 16484.Pdf ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: TURKEY’S NEW FOREIGN POLICY ORIENTATION, A THREAT TO THE WEST? Elnigar Iltebir, Ph.D., 2015 Directed by: Professor I.M. Destler, Maryland School of Public Policy, University of Maryland College Park Turkey, a staunch US ally during the Cold War, experienced a transformation of its domestic and foreign policy in the last decade. It pursued a more independent foreign policy in the neighboring region, leading the critics to charge Turkey with abandoning the Western alliance and to question its commitment to strategic partnership with the United States and the EU. This dissertation uses a series of case studies on Turkey’s foreign policy in the Middle East and the Eurasia region to answer the question of whether the recent changes in Turkish foreign policy represent a fundamental reorientation of the country away from the Western alliance and to examine the dominant factors driving Turkish foreign policy during this period. The study concludes that Turkey’s foreign policy transformation in the last decade represents a significant change in the direction of autonomy, but not a fundamental reorientation of the country away from the West. The study also finds that while international factors played an important role in preparing the ground for Turkey’s foreign policy change, domestic factors, particularly Turkey’s economic interests, its new foreign policy elite and their vision, and Turkish public opinion, have been the main drivers of its foreign policy change. TURKEY’S NEW FOREIGN POLICY ORIENTATION A Threat to the West? by Elnigar Iltebir Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 Advisory Committee: Professor I. M. Destler, Chair Professor Christopher Foreman Professor Virginia Haufler, Dean’s Representative Professor William Nolte Professor Michael Sodaro, GWU © Copyright Elnigar Iltebir 2015 Dedication To my parents, Ablikim and Dilber, who made all the sacrifices for my success in life, To my life partner, Ferhat, whose love and support helped me overcome any challenges, To my angels, Kurshat and Seray, who have been the joys of my life during this solo process and beyond… ii Acknowledgements This has been a long but rewarding journey and I finally have the opportunity to thank many people who made it all possible. My greatest gratitude goes to my dissertation chair Dr. I.M. Destler for being the best advisor anyone would like to have. He respected my views, gave me room to explore ideas on my own, and most importantly kept me on track. I am very fortunate and honored to be his student and I am indebted to him for my greatest academic achievement. I cannot thank my committee members enough for their valuable contribution. I am happy to have this chance to express my deepest thanks to my undergraduate professor from the George Washington University, Dr. Michael Sodaro, who did not leave me alone in this journey. His invaluable advice has guided me throughout my graduate years and professional career and I am grateful for his support of my dissertation with his critical contribution to my analytical framework. I am also thankful to my committee members Dr. Virginia Haufler and Dr. Charles Foreman, whose insightful feedback greatly improved this dissertation and to Dr. William Nolte, whose profound expertise significantly contributed to the analytic line. I would also like to acknowledge my professors who guided me throughout my graduate years by supporting my application for the Ph.D. program and by advising me during my doctoral studies. I am thankful to Dr. Tony Saich, Dr. Ashton Carter, and Dr. Joseph Nye for their valuable advice and recommendations while I was studying Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and to Dr. Philip Joyce and Dr. Peter Reuter for their support in earning my doctoral degree in International Security and Political Economy at the University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy. Finally, completing this dissertation while working full-time and raising two kids would not have been possible without the patience and unwavering support of my family. My mother Dilber, who is the most hardworking person I know, sacrificed so much to support my academic achievements in life and I could not have done it without her. My father Ablikim, who is a teacher, writer, and a mentor, has introduced me to international politics since my childhood and always encouraged me to strive for better. My husband, Ferhat picked up that mantle after we decided to join our life together and he has been my source of knowledge, inspiration, and most importantly love and friendship ever since. My 7-year old son, Kurshat, and 1-year-old daughter Seray will be happy to know that their mom can now spend the full weekends with them. Their unending energy and laughter kept me up when I felt down during the lonely process of writing a dissertation and I was motivated every single day to finalize my studies because of the yearning in their eyes just to be with their mommy. My kids were able to have some fun while their mom was in the library thanks to my loving sister and best friend, Elfidar, who has always been there for me to take care of everything I needed. Without the support of my professors and family and encouragement of relatives, close friends, and professional colleagues, this journey would have been impossible for me to complete.

My guiding intuition in this thesis is that the distinct historical evolutions of film and philosophy intersect in the speculative domain of the Western metaphysical paradigm, as the film medium technologically and aesthetically reestablishes conditions for “truth” within

  • Black Feminist Thought
    Praise for the first edition of Black Feminist Thought “The book argues convincingly that black feminists be given, in the words immor- talized by Aretha Franklin, a little more R-E-S-P-E-C-T....Those with an appetite for scholarese will find the book delicious.” —Black Enterprise “With the publication of Black Feminist Thought, black feminism has moved to a new level. Collins’ work sets a standard for the discussion of black women’s lives, experiences, and thought that demands rigorous attention to the complexity of these experiences and an exploration of a multiplicity of responses.” —Women’s Review of Books “Patricia Hill Collins’ new work [is] a marvelous and engaging account of the social construction of black feminist thought. Historically grounded, making excellent use of oral history, interviews, music, poetry, fiction, and scholarly literature, Hill pro- poses to illuminate black women’s standpoint. .Those already familiar with black women’s history and literature will find this book a rich and satisfying analysis. Those who are not well acquainted with this body of work will find Collins’ book an accessible and absorbing first encounter with excerpts from many works, inviting fuller engagement. As an overview, this book would make an excellent text in women’s studies, ethnic studies, and African-American studies courses, especially at the upper-division and graduate levels. As a meditation on the deeper implications of feminist epistemology and sociological practice, Patricia Hill Collins has given us a particular gift.” —Signs “Patricia Hill Collins has done the impossible. She has written a book on black feminist thought that combines the theory with the most immediate in feminist practice.

  • Blue Note Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1949 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963
    Discography Of The Blue Note Label Blue Note was started in New York City in 1938 by Alfred W. Lion. Blue Note recorded jazz only. The following history of the Blue Note record label is from the Blue Note Website (bluenote.com). “In 1925, 16-year old Alfred Lion noticed a concert poster for Sam Wooding's orchestra near his favorite ice-skating arena in his native Berlin, Germany. He'd heard many of his mother's jazz records and began to take an interest in the music, but that night his life was changed. The impact of what he heard live touched a deep passion within him. His thirst for the music temporarily brought him to New York in 1928 where he worked on the docks and slept in Central Park to get closer to the music. On December 23, 1938, Lion attended the celebrated Spirituals to Swing concert at Carnegie Hall. The power, soul and beauty with which boogie woogie piano masters Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis rocked the stage gripped him. Exactly two weeks later, on January 6 at 2 in the afternoon, he brought them into a New York studio to make some recordings. They took turns at the one piano, recording four solos each before relinquishing the bench to the other man. The long session ended with two stunning duets. Blue Note Records was finally a reality. The label's first brochure in May of 1939 carried a statement of purpose that Lion rarely strayed from throughout the many styles and years during which he built one of the greatest jazz record companies in the world.

  • Trans Affects: Performance, Technology, and the Racialization of Femininity
    TRANS AFFECTS: PERFORMANCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE RACIALIZATION OF FEMININITY Ali Na A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication in the College of Arts & Sciences. Chapel Hill 2017 Approved by: Della Pollock Elizabeth Grosz Torin Monahan Karen Shimakawa Kumarini Silva © 2017 Ali Na ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ali Na: Trans Affects: Performance, Technology, and the Racialization of Femininity (Under the direction of Della Pollock) Recognizing performance and technology as entangled modes of bodily expression, Trans Affects: Performance, Technology, and the Racialization of Femininity examines how Western tropes of Asian and Asian American femininity continue to shape differently sexed and gendered bodies. Drawing on Asian and Asian American artists in relation to U.S. contexts, this study enacts close readings of performances of hypersexuality, drag, and the trans body as they intersect with photography, Internet culture, multimedia installations, viral videos, biomedia, and emerging technologies. Specifically, the dissertation focuses on four contemporary artists: Laurel Nakadate, Ming Wong, Luo, and Yozmit. Employing “trans” as a theoretical lens to highlight affective capacities of art, I argue that “trans affects” in these performances resist the binary choice to either reject tropes or accept them as totalizing. The set of artists I explore do not engage in direct opposition to the stereotypes or tropes forwarded by processes of racialized femininity. Instead, they operate in more diffuse modes of affirmation, destabilization, confusion, and play, pointing to the possibilities that indeterminacy might offer politics and ethics.

  • Copertina / Cover
    copertina / cover Public Smog (2004-ongoing), by Amy Balkin et al. Public Smog is a "clean-air" park in the atmosphere that fluctuates in location and scale. The park is constructed through financial, legal, or political activities that open it for public use. Activities to open Public Smog have included the purchase and retiring emissions offsets (NOX and CO2) in regulated emissions schemes in the US and European Union, making them inaccessible to polluting industries. This activity resulted in the opening of parks above Southern California (June 2004), the European Union (2006-7), and the United States (2010). When Public Smog is built through this process, it exists in the unfixed public airspace above the region where offsets are purchased and withheld from use. The park’s size varies, reflecting the amount of emissions allowances purchased and the length of the contract. Other activities to create Public Smog impact the size, location, and duration of the park. The work is currently focused on building a larger, permanent atmospheric preserve through an effort to inscribe Earth's Atmosphere on the UNESCO World Heritage List, begun in 2006, but developed more fully in collaboration with Documenta (13) since 2010. This undertaking has involved an invitation first presented to Germany, then to all UNESCO States Parties, to act as lead State Party in initiating an extraordinary nomination process for inscription of Earth's atmosphere. With the exception of the Kingdom of Tonga, no reply of interest was received, so a petition was launched from within the exhibition, requesting the audience to further petition their respective governments via signed postcard.

These may be overt in the fiction, such as plot settings in Venice, Vietnam and Canada, or implicit in his writing mode and style, influenced by English romanticism, Pakeha cultural nationalism, Katherine Mansfield’s modernist epiphanies, and Italian verismo opera. In revealing Ihimaera’s indebtedness to cultural and aesthetic influences commonly seen as irrelevant to contemporary Maori literature, this thesis reveals a depth and richness in Ihimaera’s imaginary that is frequently overlooked and undervalued in New Zealand literary interpretation. Illuminating cross-cultural influence in Ihimaera’s works calls into question the applicability of biculturalism as a comprehensive manner of accounting for both Maori cultural ambitions of self-determination and the Maori relationship with Pakeha on the national level.
