    Public Intimacy and the New Face (Book) of Surveillance: The Role of Social Media in Shaping Contemporary Dataveillance
    (IGI Global, 2009) Baruh, Lemi; Soysal, Levent
    In recent years, social media have become an important avenue for self-expression. At the same time, the ease with which individuals disclose their private information has added to an already heated debate about the privacy implications of interactive media. This chapter investigates the relationship between disclosure of personal information in social media and two related trends: the increasing value of subjective or private experience as a social currency and the evolving nature of automated dataveillance. The authors argue that the results of the extended ability of individuals to negotiate their identity through social media are contradictory. The information revealed to communicate the complexity of one’s identity becomes an extensive source of data about individuals, thereby contributing to the functioning of a new regime of surveillance. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Görsel Bir Yaratım Olarak Gelenek: Hacivat ve Karagöz Neden Öldürüldü Örneği
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2010) Hacialioğlu, Ahmet; Soysal, Levent
    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.

    Closing the Circle: Trials and Tribulations of Transparency
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019) Ertaş, Özgü Hazal; Soysal, Levent
    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

    Spectacle-City and the Individual: Istanbul in Contemporary Memoirs
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2021) Uzer, Ceren; Sosyal, Levent
    In recent years, the "old days" of Istanbul has become an important area of interest from the field of culture and arts to the media and academia. Especially after 1990, many books about Istanbul began to be published. Many of these books consist of books about the past of the city. With the 1990s, there was a "boom of memories" in Turkey, as in many other countries in the world. With this period, "Istanbul" emerges as a prominent theme in his memoirs and interest in urban memories increases. From the memories of travelers, officials, writers or artists who once visited Istanbul, to the memories of Istanbul's non-Muslim communities or to the memories of "ordinary" Istanbulites, today there are many books that focus on the old days of Istanbul and consist of personal narratives. These books, in addition to being important sources and literary products for the study of history and memory, show that there is a new form of relationship between the city and the spectacle when considered in the context of the transformation of the city. It is seen that the cities that turned into spectacles with the "spectacularization" in the 1990s not only with "mega" projects at the macro level, but also at the individual level. In a society where the individual is at the center of the social organization, the spectacle-city is now reproduced with the "individual." The individual is not only the "spectator" of the spectacle-city, but an important resource that reproduces this process. The subject of this thesis is the relationship between Istanbul memoirs and Istanbul's transformation into a spectacle-city. In this study, which discusses that the spectacle-city is reproduced through the individual, memoirs are considered as an example of this reproduction. It is shown how Istanbul memoirs contribute to the image of "multicultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious" Istanbul, in line with the "world city" discourse, through the discourse of "lost old good Istanbul."

    When Memory Takes the Stage: the Forms of Unrepresentability in Sarkis
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2012) Canbulat, Guler; Soysal, Levent
    While reaching the end of 20th century contemporary understanding of spaceand time began to threaten history.s centralist linear and causal structure. in theappearingly accelerating and tightening world the individual feels the need fordeceleration and adherence. The perspective offered by history and grand narrativescan no longer be adequate for the individuum seeking a sense of identity andbelonging. Therefore the individual clings to his/her verity and thereby his/hermemory.

    Kırsal Dönüşüm ve Duyguların Dolaşımı: Duygusal Ekonomiler Perspektifinden Hemşehri Derneklerine Bir Açıklama
    (2025) Çimen, Cemal; Soysal, Levent
    Kırdan kente göç, kişisel kimlikleri ve aidiyet duygusunu değiştiren toplumsal bir değişimdir. Hemşehri dernekleri, Türkiye'nin hızlı kentleşmesinin getirdiği toplumsal değişimin bir sonucudur. Bu dernekler literatürde sıkça kente uyum için birer 'tampon mekanizma' olarak çerçevelense de, bu tez, derneklerin güncel işlevinin kırsaldaki memleketlerini aktif olarak dönüştürmeye yönelik değiştiğini göstermektedir. Teze göre bu kırsal dönüşüm, yalnızca ekonomik veya yapısal dinamiklerle değil, öncelikli olarak hemşehri dernekleri tarafından sistematik olarak dolaşıma sokulan ve yönlendirilen kolektif duygularla ilerlemektedir. Bu nedenle, merkezi araştırma sorusu şudur: Hemşehri dernekleri, kentte biriktirilen sosyal ve kültürel sermayeyi köyle yeniden buluşturmak için duyguları nasıl kullanıyor ve bu süreç kırsal yerelliklerde nasıl yeni kalkınma tahayyülleri ve mekânsal yatırımlar üretiyor? Bu soruyu yanıtlamak için çalışma, Cennetpınarı Köyü Derneği ve İSPADER odaklanan nitel bir metodoloji kullanmaktadır. Veri toplamak amacıyla dernek yöneticileri ve üyeleriyle mülakatlar yapılmış, çeşitli etkinliklerde katılımcı gözlemi gerçekleştirilmiş ve dernekler tarafından yayımlanan belgeler analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın teorik çerçevesi, Sara Ahmed'in (2004) 'duygusal ekonomiler' (affective economies) kavramına dayanmaktadır. Bu çalışma, hemşehri derneklerinin kentte nasıl bir duygusal ve sosyal aidiyet alanı yarattığını ve bu alanın kırsal dönüşümde nasıl bir rol oynadığını anlamak için duygusal ekonomiler kavramını kullanacaktır. Hemşehri derneklerinin zamanla kentsel entegrasyon, kültürel kimliğin korunması ve sosyal sermaye üretimi gibi işlevler aracılığıyla sosyal ve duygusal sermaye biriktiren kurumlara dönüştüğü gözlemlenmektedir. Duygusal ekonomiler kavramını kır sosyolojisiyle birleştirerek, bu tez duyguların toplumsal olarak dönüştürücü bir güç olduğunu savunmaktadır. Kırsal dönüşümü salt ekonomik dinamiklerle açıklamanın yetersizliğini vurgulamaktadır.
