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.

Framing the Russian Aircraft Crisis: News Discourse in Turkey's Polarized Media Environment
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2018) Özçetin, Burak; Baybars Hawks, Banu
This article analyzes the way in which the downing of a Russian aircraft by a Turkish F-16 jet on 24 November 2015 was framed by pro-government (Turkiye Yeni Akit Yeni Safak) and anti-government (Cumhuriyet) newspapers. Framing means selecting some aspects of a perceived reality and making them more salient in a communicating text. News frames give us definitions and identify those responsible for an event make moral judgements, and propose solutions to problems. The analysis of the news frames utilized by four newspapers underlines the fact that in a polarized media environment news frames are highly politicized and the distinction between news frames and official discourse is frequently blurred.

‘i Am Here’: Women Workers’ Experiences at the Former Cibali Tekel Tobacco and Cigarette Factory in Istanbul
(Routledge, 2017) Selen, Eser; O'Neil, Mary Lou
This study presents oral history research which investigated the experiences of surviving women workers from the former Cibali Tekel Tobacco and Cigarette Factory in Istanbul Turkey. For most of its history the factory was home to thousands of workers many of who were women and at times outnumbered men two to one. While the site is now known for the university that it houses photographs and archival records from the early twentieth century reveal the centrality of women in the process and production of tobacco and cigarettes until the factory completely shut down in 1995. Using oral history methods we recorded the memories of 17 women who worked in the factory. A multi-faceted analysis reveals the gendered nature of the space at the time as well as the importance of the factory as a place in the lives of these women. © 2017 Informa UK Limited trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

'just the Way My Generation Reads the News': News Consumption Habits of Youth in Turkey and the Uk
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2020) Yanardağoğlu, Eylem
Audiences' media use and news consumption behaviour are constantly shifting. Some scholars note that the growing decline in youth's news consumption raises concerns about the future of democracy in various media systems. This research explores the factors that influence college students' news consumption behaviour in the United Kingdom and Turkey through an interpretative approach. The data are based on qualitative in-depth interviews with around 50 students studying in major universities in London and Istanbul. The findings show overarching common trends such as increased mobile news access, incidental exposure to news on social media, irregular snacking and verifying of news that drive youth's news consumption behaviour. Findings also show that traditional media use for news has almost been replaced by online media and the modality of traditional media do not easily fit in with youth's daily routine of studies, work and commute.

Learning From Art Museums: Three Course Assignments for Pre-Service Elementary Teachers
(2010) Balkır Kuru, Nur
This paper presents a course assignment that required pre-service teacher education students to reflect on a museum in the Fort Worth and Dallas Metroplex in Texas. As part of their art education course at the College of Visual Arts and Design of the University of North Texas students experimented with a variety of media and concepts to develop the skills necessary to bring art to life for children. These art-making and related experiences correlated with and reinforced the concepts introduced in the lecture portion of the class. Both lecture and studio explored the universal themes of personal identity the natural and man-made environment and storytelling as they appear throughout the history of art and are relevant to children's art today. This paper presents how a museum assignment is designed to further help them to appreciate a variety of art forms while analyzing the content and form followed by their own interpretation and finally exploring ways to utilize the museum sources in their teaching. © Common Ground Nur Balkir-Kuru All Rights Reserved.

Policies of Media and Cultural Integration in Germany: From Guestworker Programmes To a More Integrative Framework
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2014) Bozdağ Bucak, Çiğdem
After the arrival of the first labour migrants in Germany in the 1960s a gradual change in the perception of migrants in German politics took place: from guests (Gastarbeiter) and foreigners (Ausländer) to citizens as members of a new form of 'us' that is constructed within diversity. These transformations were reflected in Germany's migration-related policies throughout recent history. This article focuses on media-related policies for cultural integration which go hand in hand with the developments in the general migration policy framework analysing different phases after the 1960s. In general we observe an increasing institutionalization of integration policies a more comprehensive understanding of the role of the media for integration purposes and a diversification of measures even more rapidly after the enactment of the Immigration Act in 2004. Cultural diversity is now emphasized as an enriching factor for the German mediascape. However there continues to be a need for long-term policies in order to improve media diversity in practice. © The Author(s) 2014.

The Stage: a Space for Queer Subjectification in Contemporary Turkey
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Selen, Eser
This article focuses on the role of the stage in complex modes of gender performativity in the work of three Turkish performers: Zeki Muren (1931-1996) Bulent Ersoy (b. 1952) and Seyfi Dursunoglu (b. 1932) a.k.a. Huysuz Virjin [Cranky Virgin]. These three I suggest are the pioneers of contemporary Turkish queer performance. Their performances - both on-and off-stage - are validated through a reiterative absence of queerness in their everyday lives and stand in the midst of various negotiations between queers and the secular Islamic nation-state in Turkey. In the works of Muren Ersoy and Huysuz the stage is suggestive of a space where queerness can be managed. It is a contested space that does at least allow for the communication of queer ideas to a wider audience. I discuss the works of these three performers as three variations of queerness in Turkey in relation to different eras and different political climates that are directly related to the nation-state's desire to perform modernity. While explicating complicated modes of gender performativity I consider the stage as the primary space for a queer body to exist. Through this discussion I aim to activate debates both within and against the context of secular Islam on gendered political space and on those overlooked sexualized spaces in which the nation-state produces powerful yet unstable values to manage queer subjectivity in contemporary Turkey.

Talking Fashion in Female Friendship Groups: Negotiating the Necessary Marketplace Skills and Knowledge
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2014) Yalkın, Çağrı; Elliott, Richard
This study revisits contexts of consumer socialization by focusing on fashion consumption among female teenagers. Focus groups and interviews have been utilized to collect data from 12- to 16-year-old female adolescents. The findings indicate that the adolescents cultivate both rational and symbolic skills within their friendship groups through friendship talk. The paper contributes to consumer socialization studies by examining the role of social relationships in and the accounts of the actual uses of fashion products. By doing so it extends scholars' policy makers' schools' and families' understanding of the dynamics involved in the building of young people's consumer identities and what type of issues they face as young consumers. Thus the study provides policy makers with information regarding how consumer skills and knowledge are cultivated and the role of the friendship group in cultivating them which can be used in formulating future policy aimed at consumer education literacy programmes and social marketing aimed at adolescents. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York.

Who Is Responsible? the Impact of Emotional Personalization on Explaining the Origins of Social Problems
(Routledge, 2020) Kim, Minchul; Hale, Brent J.; Grabe, Maria Elizabeth; Baş, Özen
Personalization refers to the journalistic practice of including emotional case studies of ordinary people in news stories, increasing vividness and emotional charge of news and eliciting identification and empathy in news consumers. Previous research suggests that personalization of news stories increases collectivistic (compared with individualistic) causal attributions by the news audience. In response, an experiment was conducted with a week time delay between stimuli presentation and open-ended participant responses to examine the influence of news personalization on how news consumers attribute causes for social issues. Participant (N = 80) trait empathy was included as an additional factor. Findings show that participants with high trait empathy expressed a greater shift to collectivistic attribution after watching personalized news stories than participants with low trait empathy, suggesting that individual differences in trait empathy may be an important factor in how individuals construct their own understanding of social problems.
