Yeldeğirmeni'ndeki Soylulaştırma Sürecinin Bir Etnografisi
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019) Özçelik, Dilşad; Soysal, Levent; Soysal, Levent; Radio, Television and Cinema
Bu tez, Yeldeğirmeni'ndeki ekonomik, kültürel ve sosyal dönüşümün hangi itici güçlerle ilerlediğini ortaya koyan bir etknografi sunmayı amaçlar. Küreselleşme, sanayisizleşme süreçleriyle yakından ilişkili olan soylulaştırma, bir kentleşme modeli olarak tüm kentlerin önemli gündemleri arasında yer alır. İstanbul'da soylulaştırma olgusu, tarihi konut stoğu olan, kent içi mahallelerde, bireysel girişimlerle veya kamunun aracılığı ile gerçekleşen konut stoğundaki yenileme sonucu gerçekleşen yerinden edilme ile birlikte görülme eğililmindedir. Arnavutköy, Ortaköy, Kuzguncuk Cihangir, Galata, Fenet, Balat, Sulukule ve Tarlabaşı, İstanbul'un soylulaştırma tartışmalarında ele alınan bölgelerindedir. Kadıköy'ün Yeldeğirmeni ismiyle bilinen semti son yıllarda geçirdiği kültürel, ekonomik ve sosyal değişim nedeniyle soylulaştırma tartışmalarınca ele alınan, tarihi konut stoğu bulunan, İstanbul'un eski mahallelerindendir. Kamu ve sivil toplum iş birliğinde Yeldeğirmeni'ne uygulanan kentsel yenileme projesinin kullandığı kültürel stratejiler, bu dönüşümün başlatıcısı konumundadır. Toplumsal politik bir hareket olan Gezi Hareketi'nden etkilenerek hayata geçirilen Don Kişot Sosyal Merkezi, aynı zamanda Türkiye'nin ilk işgal evi deneyimidir. Bu iki evreden doğan Yeldeğirmeni imgesi, semtin dönüşümünde çok önemli bir rol oynar. Soylulaştırmanın sonraki seyri mekanın tüketim pratiklerinde kendini gösterir. Bu araştırma Yeldeğirmeni'ni yeniden üretilen ve tüketilen bir mekan olarak ele alır, kent tahayyüllerinin yeniden üretim ve tüketim mekanizmalarına nasıl dahil olduğunu anlamaya çalışır.
Türkiye'de Kahve Magazalarında Standardi Zasyon ve Lokalizasyonun Pazarlama Taktiği Olarak Uygulanması
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2009) Akyol, Gonca Yıldırım; Soysal, Levent; Soysal, Levent; Radio, Television and Cinema
Günümüz dünyasında ekonomide, teknolojide, siyasette, sosyal ve kültürel alanlarda hızlı ve önemli degisimler yasanmaktadır. Bu degisimler sürecinde hakkında en çok yazılan, tartısılan kavramların basında ise küresellesme ve etkileri gelmektedir. Küresellesme ve etkilerini her sektörde hissetmek mümkündür. Kahve ve kahve kültürü de dogası itibariyle evrensel ve küresel bir nitelige sahiptir. Petrolden sonra dünya ticaretinde ikinci en büyük ticari hacme sahip meta olan kahve, 500 yıl boyunca toplumların yasantılarına belli dönemlerde belli kimliklerle katılmıstır.
How Does Artificial Intelligence Evaluate?an Examination Into the Deployment Ofartificial Intelligence in the Turkishecosystem
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2021) Gümüşay, Şeyda Tuğgen; Soysal, Levent; Soysal, Levent; Radio, Television and Cinema
With the development of artificial intelligence, machine-based applications are entering people's lives more and more every day. With artificial intelligence, especially as a decision-making mechanism, research conducted in recent years shows that artificial intelligence is biased. This study examines the bias and discriminatory behavior of artificial intelligence in detail. Inherited bias, data-based factors, and technical reasons that cause artificial intelligence bias are explained, and a general framework for the reasons for bias is shown. Models are presented for the discussion ground and the social shaping of artificial intelligence and technology in the context of "biasedness, discrimination, companies, and the system" is examined. The underlying reasons for the bias of artificial intelligence have been investigated. For this, Turkey's ecosystem is taken as a case study, and companies' attitudes towards the bias of AI are examined through interviews. Within the framework of social shaping theory, the structural connection between the bias of artificial intelligence and the economic structure and capitalist system has been pointed out.
Closing the Circle: Trials and Tribulations of Transparency
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019) Ertaş, Özgü Hazal; Ertaş, Özgü Hazal; Soysal, Levent; Soysal, Levent; New Media; Radio, Television and Cinema
Framework of reference for the contemporary context of privacy has recently become the concern of media and communication studies. This is most clearly charted in relation to the advent of new media technologies which revolutionize the amount of personal data available. Subsequently, a wide range of responses has been generated regarding a world where the boundaries between privacy, publicness and intimacy are being challenged on a constant basis. This thesis suggests, then, to improve our understanding of the parameters of the debate concerning the relations between privacy, panopticism and governmentality. Accordingly, it puts forward transparency trait as a more robust tool to understand our ultra-connected, networked and quantified societies. In this, it is argued that transparency today is the function of the formalization and institutionalization of the new spirit of capitalism where even the very idea of private and public ceases to extinct. In order to show the new disciplinary structures at work, this thesis prefers a theoretical-conceptual approach and the analysis of Dave Eggers’ techno-satire novel The Circle (2013) is used as a resource for theorizing

Following the analysis of cultural policy since the first years of the Republic of Turkey up to today arts and culture investments of private corporations and foundations the focal point of the study is examined. Then the supportive position of the private sector and foundations is explained through discourse analysis of interviews with the managers of these institutions. Activities of arts and culture institutions founded by private corporations and foundations and discourse of their authorities form the examination point of this thesis.

(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2010) Hacialioğlu, Ahmet; Soysal, Levent; Soysal, Levent; Radio, Television and Cinema
Gelenek kavramına dair yapılan incelemeler, sıklıkla geleneğin nasıl var olduğu noktasında yoğunlaşır. Yapılan tartışmalarda, geleneğin toplumun geçmiş bilgilerinin belli bir süreklilik içerisinde tekrar edilmesiyle ya da toplumun geçmiş bilgilerini yalnızca bir sembol olarak kullanarak oluşturduğu yeniden yaratımlarla varolan bir kavram olduğu tezleri öne çıkar. Bu çalışmada incelenen Hacivat ve Karagöz Neden Öldürüldü filmi örneğinde görülmüştür ki gelenek, sinema perdesinde, geçmişe ait bilgilerin birer sembol olarak kullanılmasıyla sürekli yeniden yaratılan ve böylelikle var olan bir kavramdır.

Diffusion of Universal Institutional Norms: a Case Study of Institutional Isomorphism and Catalytic Effect of Public Affairs in Turkey
(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019) Özkan, İrem; Soysal, Levent; Soysal, Levent; Radio, Television and Cinema
The research that I conducted is about the diffusion of universal institutional norms and creation of institutional isomorphism through investments of the international companies in other countries and role of the public affairs services that they provide from the consultancy firms in this context. International companies trigger the institutional transformation process in the countries that they invest. With the effect of foreign investment, governments start to make regulations and legal changes according to the global standards in order to make the market more convenient for investors. This transformation process brings the diffusion of universal institutional norms and leads to the creation of institutional isomorphism. In this sense, I address the isomorphic transformation process with the concepts of coercive, normative, and mimetic isomorphism (DiMaggio and Powell, 1983). Moreover, during the market entrance process, the public affairs consultancy services which international companies provide from the consultancy firms, include significant activities like political monitoring and lobbying to maintain healthy and sustainable communication environment with the government. These consultancy processes composed of complex dynamics regarding institutional and organizational structures rather than intercultural communication elements. During the institutional transformation process, consultancy firms function as the catalyzer and make the adaptation easier. In this connection, I observed the specific public affairs consultancy firm as an insider and investigated a consultancy process as my case study. Through my observations and collected data during the participant observation process, interviews with diverse consultancy firms, and relevant literature with my topic, I examine how the investments of international companies and the catalytic effect of public affairs activities lead the diffusion of universal institutional norms and practices of the corporate world and create institutional isomorphism.

(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2017) Şişeci, Büşra; Soysal, Levent; Soysal, Levent; Radio, Television and Cinema
Cultural industries have become an inevitable part of an urban structure of the global cities. istanbul is a fascinating case to grasp that taking place of cultural industries in an urban structure in terms of transformation of the city in line with the trends of globalization. This thesis primarily presents that newly emerged cultural topography of istanbul by mapping cultural industries. Following the narrow conceptualization of cultural industries that refers to institutions which exhibit circulate capitals based on arts culture and knowledge residing of seven different categories of cultural industriesin istanbul are mapped by their geo-referenced data. Museums universities cultural centers art galleries convention and exhibition centers festival and concert halls and bookstores are mapped one by one as well as all. The results show that existing city center is culturally reified by cultural industries. Moreover the triangular shape of culturally reified city center istanbul’s triangle is revealed by intersection of intensification of cultural industries and the route of tramline which has a positive correlation with the route of intensification of cultural industries. Comparative map of cultural industries by decade put forwards that istanbul’s triangle is relatively stable. Some predictions are made of how the intensification of cultural industries matter in the cultural topography of istanbul.
