  • Monuments, Materiality, and Meaning in the Classical Archaeology of Anatolia
    MONUMENTS, MATERIALITY, AND MEANING IN THE CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF ANATOLIA by Daniel David Shoup A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Classical Art and Archaeology) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Elaine K. Gazda, Co-Chair Professor John F. Cherry, Co-Chair, Brown University Professor Fatma Müge Göçek Professor Christopher John Ratté Professor Norman Yoffee Acknowledgments Athena may have sprung from Zeus’ brow alone, but dissertations never have a solitary birth: especially this one, which is largely made up of the voices of others. I have been fortunate to have the support of many friends, colleagues, and mentors, whose ideas and suggestions have fundamentally shaped this work. I would also like to thank the dozens of people who agreed to be interviewed, whose ideas and voices animate this text and the sites where they work. I offer this dissertation in hope that it contributes, in some small way, to a bright future for archaeology in Turkey. My committee members have been unstinting in their support of what has proved to be an unconventional project. John Cherry’s able teaching and broad perspective on archaeology formed the matrix in which the ideas for this dissertation grew; Elaine Gazda’s support, guidance, and advocacy of the project was indispensible to its completion. Norman Yoffee provided ideas and support from the first draft of a very different prospectus – including very necessary encouragement to go out on a limb. Chris Ratté has been a generous host at the site of Aphrodisias and helpful commentator during the writing process.

It also requires an objective and unsparing attitude complying with the ethical norms of the profession. Ever since the establishment of Prota in 25th of February 1985, the achievement of scientific ex- cellence in engineering practice has been our number one goal. The highly inventive solutions that distinguish Prota’s services today have their roots in the pursuit for excellence that has become a company principle. As societies evolve, their needs and demands evolve correspondingly. We believe that Prota’s mis- sion within this cycle is to foresee future needs and develop effective and reliable solutions. Hence our motto is: “Reinforcing the Future”. This mission, of course, entails an innovative outlook at every step of the way. We consider our most valuable resource to be our team. In this respect, our fundamental goal is to train honest, inquisitive, and innovative team members who revere the past, and to advance in our journey within this team spirit. It is for this reason that Prota employs a management policy that focuses not only on customer sat- isfaction, but also on the professional development of its staff within an environment that adopts the “sincere at relations, responsive at work” spirit.

  • URBAN IDENTITY in the AGE of the MOBILE PHONE Adnan BARLAS, Meltem ŞENTÜRK
    URBANMETU JFA IDENTITY 2011/1 IN THE AGE OF THE MOBILE PHONE DOI:METU 10.4305/METU.JFA.2011.1.7 JFA 2011/1 109 (28:1) 109-129 URBAN IDENTITY IN THE AGE OF THE MOBILE PHONE Adnan BARLAS, Meltem ŞENTÜRK Received: 28.09.2010; Final Text: 03.01.2011 INTRODUCTION Keywords: mobile phone; urban identity; meeting places; cognitive maps. This essay is a summary of an extended survey conducted in Ankara, 1. This paper is developed around on the Turkey (1). It shows how wireless communication technologies, especially basic findings of Şentürk (2010). the mobile phone, have contributed to the development of an urban identity by enhancing the mental structuring of coherent urban images. The decision to conduct the survey was motivated by the ongoing debate into the loss of identity in general and urban identity in particular. Communication, of course, is one of the main components of identity in any sense, and it is this issue that most of the debates revolve around. One of the main arguments put forward is that transformations in modes of communication hinder the processes of socialization and impede the development of identity (Czarnowsky, 1978). An emphasis on the individualization and personalization of modes of communication leads to the basic argument that: the more the modes of communication become personalized, the greater the loss of interaction and socialization. Here, socialization, which also includes face-to-face interactions, stands as a prerequisite for urban identity; and from this perspective one can easily assume that the advent of wireless communication technologies will further degrade social life and thus identity.

It has gained attention with the contribution of Prof. Dr. Semavi Eyice who described the painting as “a view of Ankara” rather than the view of the city of Aleppo which was described as such before his study of the painting. The View of Ankara is not only important for Ankara studies as being the oldest painting of Ankara that is known but also it depicts various stages of mohair manufacture and the Angora goats being shorn on the foreground and points to the mohair trade which had been central to the economy of the city of Ankara.
