We would like to invite you collaboratively discuss and redefine our researches, and methodologies. We believe in the value of constructive feedback in the various stages of our researches”. (CFP of IPCC 2018) Conferences are significant spaces of knowledge production bringing variety of concerns and approaches together. This intellectual attempt carries the greatest value, as Margaret Mead* pointed out only when the shift from one-to-many/single channel communication to many-to-many/multimodal communication is taken for granted. Nowadays, in parallel to increasing number of national and international conferences, a perception about the size of the conference being in close relationship with the quality of the conferences has developed.

  • Professional Military Education in Contemporary Turkey
    MILITARY MASCULINITIES IN THE MAKING: PROFESSIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION IN CONTEMPORARY TURKEY by Elif İrem Az Submitted to the Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Sabancı University Spring 2013-2014 MILITARY MASCULINITIES IN THE MAKING: PROFESSIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION IN CONTEMPORARY TURKEY Approved by: Ayşe Gül Altınay..................................... (Thesis Supervisor) Ayşe Parla................................................ Ayşen Candaş.......................................... Date of Approval: 06.08.2014 © Elif İrem Az 2014 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT MILITARY MASCULINITIES IN THE MAKING: PROFESSIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION IN CONTEMPORARY TURKEY Elif İrem Az Cultural Studies, MA Thesis, 2014 Supervisor: Ayşe Gül Altınay Keywords: military, education, masculinity, neoliberalism, Turkey. Military schools have historically been the black boxes of the Turkish Armed Forces. The subjects who make up the military and their education in military schools have largely remained outside of academic inquiry. Since the establishment of the Republic, the military has been consolidating its power over political processes, the legal system and everyday life through various coups and interventions. Yet, we witness a historical shift in political, social and cultural positionality of the military since the Ergenekon and Balyoz [Sledgehammer] trials, beginning in 2007 and 2010 respectively. Based upon participant observation, modest historical research, and in-depth interviews with former cadets of Turkish Naval High School and Turkish Naval Academy who were students between the years 2003 and 2013, this study aims to trace the links between my research participants’ narratives and the military’s falling from grace. This thesis argues that this shift ranges from internal restructuring of power in professional military education to changes in ideological, ethnic, and class composition of the military.

    Regenerating »Public Istanbul«. Two Projects on the Golden Horn SENEM ZEYBEKOLU Today, under the impacts of economic globalization, many of the world’s largest cities are witnessing major economic and spatial restruc- turing (Fainstein 1990), a multidimensional process involving interna- tional flows of capital, goods, people, cultural values and consumption of information (Van Kempen/Marcuse 1997) on a non-tangible level. On physical level, developments in transportation and communication tech- nologies (Giddens 1998), the changing spatial structure of economic ac- tivities (Van Kempen/Marcuse 1997), and the increasing ability of transnational companies to conduct transactions in non-spaces (Judd/ Parkinson 1990) are also part of this economic globalization. Further- more, the declining autonomy of the nation states over the control of their economies (Sassen 1998) is also leading to economic restructuring in many cities. Within this changing economic environment, major cities find them- selves in severe competition. Cities competing for mobile capital invest in technological infrastructures and transportation systems such as air- ports, highways, bridges. To attract headquarters of transnational com- panies, cities invest in high-tech office-buildings and luxurious residen- tial enclaves to house their workers in. To appease the newly emerging professional class who is part of this new economic system, many cities are providing more spaces for consumption and recreational activities. Major festivals, sports events, concerts and international conferences that a growing number of cities are hosting are also indicators of a newly emerging international economy (Short/Kim 1999). 163 SENEM ZEYBEKOLU With the election of Turgut Özal’s neo-liberal Motherland Party (ANAP) in 1983, Turkey also began to feel the impacts of economic globalization.
