Accented Essays: Documentary as Artistic Practice in Contemporary Audiovisual Works From Turkey
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francıs Ltd, 2019) Akçalı Kuyucu, Elif
This article looks at the use of documentary filmmaking in contemporary artistic practices in Turkey, specifically focusing on three works that adopt a first-person, subjective viewpoint: Didem Pekun's Of Dice and Men (2016), Sener ozmen's How to Tell of Peace to a Living Dove? (2015), and Aykan Safoglu's Off-White Tulips (2013). Made by artists in transition, these films tackle themes of belonging and identity through stylistic choices proper to essayistic filmmaking, which allow these works to be regarded as accented essays. The personal questions raised through the aesthetics they employ become relevant to collective issues of culture, history, and memory, offering an alternative understanding of the social context, which was largely affected by the political events during the period in which they were made.

Bankacılık Hizmetlerinde İletişim Süreci: Bankalarda Reklam Faaliyetleri
(Marmara Üniversitesi, Sos. Bil. Enst., 2008) Meral Seden, Pınar
Ülkelerin kalkınmasında önemli bir rol üstlenen bankalar, hedef kitlelerinde marka bağımlılığını yaratabilmek, piyasadaki paylarını arttırabilmek amacıyla pazarlama iletişiminden yararlanmaktadırlar. Bankalar bu amaçları gerçekleştirebilmek için iletişim sürecini kullanırken, halkla ilişkiler, kişisel satış ve reklam iletişiminden faydalanmaktadırlar. Özellikle reklam iletişimi, bankaların hedef kitleye kendilerini ve ürünlerini ifade etmede, müşterilerin o bankanın hizmetlerini tercih etmesinde önemli bir role sahiptir. İşletmeler, ürün reklamları ile ürettikleri mal ve hizmetlerinin satışını artırmak ve kar sağlamayı hedeflerken, satışlar üzerinde dolaylı yoldan etkisi olan kurumsal reklamlar ile de kurumun iletişim amacını gerçekleştirmektedirler. Kurumsal banka reklamlarında müşteriye ,bankanın faaliyetleri, çalışmalarının iktisadi sonuçları, gelecek dönemde uygulanması planlanan çalışma programı, yeni hizmetler, pazarın durumu, devletçe alınan kararlar, dış alım ve satım konusundaki görüş ve tahminler, bankanın ürünleri gibi bilgiler iletilmektedir. Diğer reklam kampanyalarında olduğu gibi, banka reklamlarının hazırlık süreci de, araştırma ve amaçların belirlenmesi, hedef kitlenin tespiti ve reklam mesajının oluşturulması, reklam bütçesi ve reklam ortamlarının tespiti gibi başlıca üç aşamadan meydana gelmektedir.

BİR ANA MENDİETA VARMIŞ, BİR ANA MENDİETA YOKMUŞ
(Ege Üniversitesi, Edebiyat Fakültesi, 2018) Balkır Kuru, Nur
8 Eylül 1985’te New York’taki Soho polis departmanı bir acil durum çağrısı aldı. Ünlü minimalist sanatçı Carl Andre, karısı Ana’nın, yaşadıkları apartmanın 34’üncü kat penceresinden düştüğünü söyleyerek yardım istiyordu. Yardım ekipleri ulaştığında Ana Mendieta’nın cansız bedenini New York Performans Sanatları Okulu’nun çaprazında buldu. Komşuları kısa süre önce onların dairesinden kavga sesleri duyduklarını söylüyorlardı. Mendieta’nın vücudundaki izlerden ve pencerenin konumundan yola çıkan polis, cinayetten şüphelenerek Andre’yi zanlı olarak gözaltına aldı. Davada, Andre’nin avukatları, sanatı ve hayat hikayesinden yola çıkarak Mendieta’nın intihara meyilli bir kişilik yapısı sergilediğini iddia ettiler. Mahkeme, Mendieta’nın intihar ettiğine, sanatına bakarak karar verdi. İronik biçimde, Mendieta’nın toprağı kazarak varlığa dönüştürdüğü “kendi”nden kalan boşluğu “intihara meyilli beden” ile doldurup kapattı. Sanatçının ölümü ve fiziki yokluğu, sanatının temel soruları olan zaman, mekan, beden, kimlik gibi kavramlar etrafından yorumlanarak ünlü “Silueta” serisinin altına, tabiri caizse serinin son işi olarak eklendi. Küba kökenli Amerikalı performans sanatçısı, heykeltraş, ressam ve video sanatçısı Ana Mendieta’nın yarattığı imgeler yeryüzü ve ruh arasında ilişkileri sorgularken, sevgi, ölüm ve yeniden doğuş ile ilgili hayati sorularla yüzleşir. İlk başlardaki yenilikçi ve provokatif performanslarının yerini sonraları sembolik ve geçici işlere bırakmış olsa da, Mendieta beden, zaman, boşluk, doğa ve onların arasındaki ilişkisel bağları her zaman sanatının ana malzemesi yapmıştır. Bu yazı, Mendieta’nın fiziki ve ruhsal varlığını ortaya çıkarmak için kullandığı metotları kavramsal açıdan inceleyecektir. Mendieta’nın doğuştan gelen ırk ve cinsel kimliğini ayrıştırıp varoluşsal açıdan sorgulaması, Heidegger’in varoluşsal uzam ve Merleau Ponty’nin yaşayan beden kavramları üzerinden değerlendirilecektir. Yanı sıra, Marcel Duchamp, Frida Kahlo, Rachel Whiteread gibi, benzer sorunsalları irdeleyen sanatçıların çalışmalarıyla kıyaslama yapılacaktır.

Branding Cities in the Age of Social Media: a Comparative Assessment of Local Government Performance
(Springer International Publishing, 2015) Sevin, Efe
This chapter is a comparative study of how three local governments- Cape Town (South Africa) Philadelphia (Pennsylvania USA) and Myrtle Beach (South Carolina USA)-use social media platforms in their city branding attempts. Theoretical arguments in the fi elds of corporate and city branding point out the potential of these new communication platforms to change how brand-related content is created and shared with target audiences. However the practice is understudied. The study fi rst explains the potential of social media in branding through media ecology city brand communication and brand co-creation theories. Second the performance of the aforementioned three cities on social media is evaluated by analyzing their Twitter and Facebook presence. The fi ndings suggest that there is room for improvement for local governments in their employment of social media for city branding campaigns. The chapter concludes with recommendations for practitioners. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. All rights are reserved.

Changing Practices in International Broadcasting the Bbc World Service Example
(Ankara Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi, 2014) Yanardağoğlu, Eylem
Looking at the history of international broadcasting, one can observe that governments utilised international media as an element of public diplomacy as early as 1930s. Some of the first examples are seen at the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) World Service, which runs a Turkish Service since 1939. This research examines the factors that impact on international broadcasting and takes the BBC World Service as an example. It focuses on its Turkish Section in order to consider the changing practices at its language services and explore the influence of the issues such as public diplomacy, technological advances and economic policies on these language services. The BBC World Service and the Turkish section are chosen because they constitute one of the first examples of international broadcasting efforts. The findings are based on data that were collected via in-depth interviews conducted with editors and producers in 2011 at the World Service Central Newsroom and the Turkish Service. This research was funded by TÜBİTAK (the Scientific and Research Council of Turkey) post-doctoral study abroad bursary, at the Communication and Media Research Institute, University of Westminster in London, where the researcher was based as a visiting scholar.

Cinema Has Split the Girl's Soul Into Pieces: Scrutinizing Representations of Women in Films From Turkey
(University of Southern California, 2020) Cengiz, Esi̇n Paça
The 1980s in Turkey were marked by the emergence of new cinematic forms, including films dealing with issues regarding female subjectivity. This article argues that within the scope of an extensive body of films produced about women in the 1980s, Her Name Is Vasfiye, Aaahh Belinda!, How to Save Asiye, Ten Women, and My Dreams, My Love and You opened up a significant space for discussions about ideological constructions concerning images of women in cinema. By deploying reflexive and fragmented structures, laying bare the ideological operations of voice-over and dubbing, and deploying the screen personas Türkan Şoray and Müjde Ar as cinematic tools, these films offer up a critique of representations of women onscreen, including the trend of “women's films.”
Cinematic Visual Representation of Refugee Journeys in Turkey in the Context of Precarious Class Dynamics
(MIGRATION LETTERS, 2019-09-29) Arda Güney, Talat Balca
In this article, I comparatively analyse the imagery of precarious class through the narration of refugee journeys in Turkey for two different films, with an emphasis on the visuality of cinematic narration. Whilst The Guest Aleppo to Istanbul (2017) by Andaç Haznedaroğlu and More by Onur Saylak certainly offer different portrayals of refugees in Turkey, both reflect on the precarious class dynamics in the context of migration and reveal the complex interplay of citizenship, meritocracy and suffering. By focusing on precarious status, these fictional representations illustrate that the incoming non-citizens provide the opportunity of self-reflexibility for the host community members and expose the fragility of the border between the citizen-self and the refugee. I contend that such distinct comparative portrayals encompassing precarity instead of humanity, as common ground between host and new arrival populations, necessarily requires drawing upon a broader literature on the human conditions for politics of justice rather than pity.

Covering Turkey: the Dilemmas of Foreign Correspondents Between the Desk and the Field
(Galatasaray Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi, 2014) Yanardağoğlu, Eylem
In the last decade, Turkey’s appeal for international news organizations has risen dramatically. In 1991, there were 85 accredited foreign reporters based in Turkey, the number was recorded as 145 in 2000, 200 in 2005. At the end of 2013, there were 317 accredited members of the foreign media, working for 284 different media organizations. This study accounts for the noticeable increase in the number of foreign correspondents in Turkey. By analyzing data collected via 20 in-depth interviews and online questionnaires, it offers insight on the personal and professional characteristics and practices of foreign journalists covering Turkey. The findings suggest that correspondents “feel responsible” for explaining the complexities in Turkey for their audiences, highlighting the dilemmas between the “desk” and the “field”. They also indicate that Istanbul as an emerging global city does in its own right attracts new media connections.

The Despotic Imperative: From Hiero To the Circle
(Duke University Press, 2019) Diken, Bülent
The article thematizes the actuality of despotism through a double reading of Xenophon’s Hiero and Dave Eggers’s Circle. A key text on despotism, Hiero is interesting to reconsider in a contemporary context because of its explicit focus on the economic element in the nexus of despotism, economy, and voluntary servitude. Discussing this nexus in an ancient context, the article turns to The Circle, a dystopic novel from 2013, which elaborates on how the attempt at creating a transparent society results in the perversion of democracy to the point where a despotism fueled by economization and voluntary servitude becomes immediately evident. Notwithstanding the significant differences between the two perceptions of despotism that proliferate in Hiero and The Circle, their shared focus on the nexus of despotism, economy, and voluntary servitude testifies to an interesting case of convergence in divergence. Offering an account of this continuity, the article ends with reflecting on this nexus itself, arguing that it should be rethought in a new way today. The concept of use is suggested as a key concept for such reconsideration.

Digital Crime and Punishment: Turkish Online Journalism Under Siege
(International Institute of Informatics and Systemics IIIS, 2012) Baybars Hawks, Banu
Turkish mass media since its beginnings in late 19th century has aimed to gain its role as the fourth estate in Turkish political scene. The freedom of press has been at the paramount of discussions since the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Between 1980 and 2000 Turkish media grew more and more liberal and was able to express discontent publicly exercising its checks and balances function. On the other hand the conservative majority of AKP government the governing party in Turkey brought back pressures on the Turkish media since the 2000s. Digital media as the new developing platform in Turkey for expressing rights and freedoms is under siege by government as well. The government's definition of digital crime and punishment is mostly unnoticed by the average citizen but despised by the young population. This paper intends to show the invalidity of disproportionate use of punishment and illegitimate definition of cybercrime in contemporary democratic systems that target online media professionals and outline how Turkish authorities can reverse the process by adopting alternative strategies of prevention. Under this perspective it also assesses the compliance of Internet legislation and practices in Turkey with Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights as well as the case law of the European Court of Human Rights.

Domestik Etnografi Örneği Olarak Ben Uçtum Sen Kaldın
(Hacettepe Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi, 2015) Koçer Çamurdan, Suncem
In what ways does documentary camera with its unique capacity to disentangle reality penetrate and reconstruct history? At the intersections of history and memory and of family and self, how do documentary narratives crafted through the pursuit of personal life stories, longed family members, and childhood recollections contest hegemonic ideologies about identity? This article focuses on I Flew You Stayed (2012) by Mizgin Müjde Arslan as a reflexive narrative of tracing longed family members and occult life stories. As Arslan searches for her family history to fill out painful gaps in her life journey through documentary practice, she ends up uncovering a restless history construed by ideologies that silence counter-hegemonic voices in unique ways.

Encountering Difference and Radical Democratic Trajectory: an Analysis of Gezi Park as Public Space
(Routledge, 2015) İnceoğlu, İrem
Summer 2013 was a historic period in regards to political activism in Turkey. Commonly referred to as ‘the Gezi Resistance’ the grass-roots mobilisation caught the rather self-assured AKP (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi) government off guard as hundreds of thousands rushed to the streets squares and parks to reclaim those spaces publicly. The resistance started with the attempt by a handful of environmentalists to protect a few trees being cut down in central Istanbul. Then it quickly moved beyond just about protecting a few trees and became a collective reaction to the recent and ongoing urban modelling projects that would turn commons into gated spaces for consumption. Significantly the Gezi Resistance which reclaimed public spaces started to mobilise multiple identity groups who entered into the political arena in the radical democratic sense. This paper aims to scrutinise Gezi Resistance and the occupation of the park in relation to reclaiming public spaces and the politics of identity hence as an opportunity for a radical democratic emancipation. In this context emancipation refers to contestation against the dominating discourses of the majoritarian government with neoconservative tendencies. Public space is contextualised as the agonistic domain that enables individuals both to appear hence become visible for a possible interaction and acknowledgement and join collaborative struggles against dominant discourses. In this regard performing dissent re-produces subjectivities while articulating these to one another also requires a public space. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.

Ethnographic Cinema, Anthropology and Issues of Representational Authority in Visual Documentation of Culture
(İmge Kitabevi Yayınları, 2015) Çamurdan Koçer, Suncem
Ethnographic film has offered unique tools for cultural documentation since the emergence of motion pictures. However, visual representations of culture have had a problematic relationship with the larger discipline of anthropology for decades in part due to the threat of the camera to replace the scientific yet imperfect eye of the anthropologist with a technological tool. This article argues that the rocky relationship between anthropology and the moving image has deeper roots in the epistemological constructions of Self and Other, Home and Field, as well as Modern and Primitive. In conjunction with the dissolution of anthropological authority, a number of ethnographic films dealt with theoretical and ethical questions in relation to the issues of representational authority. The article illustrates three different ethnographic and filmic approaches to the issue: Reassemblage by Trinh T. Min-ha, The Wedding Camels by Judith and David MacDougal and Jaguar by Jean Rouch.

Exploring Switching Factors for Mobile Number Portability: a Survey
(Inst Advanced Science Extension, 2017) Khaliq, Imran Hameed; Mahmood, Hafiz Zahid; Malik, Summaira; Jan, Malik Jahangir; Zameer, Asif
Pakistan's mobile phone market is one of the world's fastest growing markets with a subscriber base of 137 million users. Competition in the country's telecommunication industry is dominated by four players and customer demand is high. In addition Pakistan is the first country in South Asia to have implemented Mobile Number Portability (MNP) in March 2007. MNP is a facility that allows mobile subscribers to switch between service providers without changing their existing phone numbers. Mobile phone service provider's selection may be influenced by various factors. Therefore this research was undertaken to explore factors affecting MNP and to determine which factors were most influential in the selection of mobile phone service providers in a developing economy like Pakistan. Moreover the study also probed into differences in customer perceptions between pre-paid and post-paid customers. This exploratory study is based on primary data collected from 300 customers using services of different cellular companies who had experienced MNP facility. Factor analysis was carried out on obtained data and reliability of the resultant scale was verified to achieve the objectives of the study. The outcome of this research provided a concise framework of the various dimensions of customer choice. Contrary to previous researches the result of this study indicated that infrastructural services customer relationships call quality and promotional packages were the most important factors affecting MNP. However price of services was found less important factor in selection of telecommunication service providers. This study also showed that pre-paid and post-paid customers can be significantly different for many value-added services and promotional tools. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by IASE.

Exploring the City: Perceiving Istanbul Through Its Cultural Productions
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011) Şenova, Başak
This essay explores the role of Istanbul's 'cultural productions' as components of the city's structure and texture. Istanbul is a city of tensions generated by its countless conflicting and divergent flows which are constantly influenced by socio-economic political and cultural fusions and confusions. It is constantly expanding both horizontally and vertically as evidenced by its central and peripheral settlements illegal dwellings and squatted lands. With each and every new inhabitant further cumulative cultural input is added to the city which also blends social exclusion and transgression (together with axiomatic de facto regulations). The city 'operates' as a jumbled mode of excessive information

Finansal Hizmet İşletmelerinde Kurumsal Reklamcılık
(İstanbul Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi, 2007) Meral, Pınar Seden
Kurumsal reklamcılık, bütünleşik pazarlama iletişimi anlayışı dahilinde, halkla ilişkiler ve reklamın birlikte hareket ettiği bir alandır. Kurumsal reklam, kurum kültürü, kurum kimliği ve kurum imajı gibi halkla ilişkilerin uygulama alanı içerisinde bulunan kavramlara yönelik olarak gerçekleştirilmektedir. Sanayi üretime yönelik işletmelerde ürünün fiziksel varlığı, o işletmenin tanımını yapabilmek için güçlü bir baz sağlar. Bununla birlikte hizmet işletmeleri, hizmetlerin soyut olmaları sebebi ile böyle bir imkana sahip değildir. Hizmet işletmeleri, başkalarının ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak amacı ile öncelikle hizmet üreten ve satan iktisadi birimler olarak tanımlanabilir. Hizmet işletmesi reklamları, bankacılık, sağlık, sigorta gibi hizmet sunan firmaların yaptıkları reklamlardır. Finansal hizmetler, tüm banka hizmetleri ile kredi verilmesi, sigorta, bireylerin emekliliği, para yatırımı veya ödenmesi ile ilgili tüm hizmetleri kapsamaktadır. Finansal hizmet veren kurumların reklamları özellikle banka, sigorta ve bireysel emeklilik ile ilgili alanlarda yoğunlaşmaktadır. Farklı kurumlar tarafından verilen finansal hizmetlerin farkları, hizmetlerin birbirine benzemesi sebebiyle, çoğu zaman hedef kitle tarafından algılanmamaktadır. Bu amaçla, finansal kurumsal reklamlar, tüketicinin dikkatini çekebilmek, diğerlerinden farklı olduğunu ortaya koyabilmek için tüketici algılarını etkilemeye çalışmaktadırlar. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kavramsal olarak finansal hizmet üreten işletmelerde kurumsal reklamın kullanımını incelemektir. Bu amaçla, öncelikle kurumsal reklam ve hizmet kavramlarının teorik çerçevesi belirlenerek, finansal hizmet üreten işletmelerde hizmet pazarlamasının kullanımı ve kurumsal reklam faaliyetleri açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.
