Yayın Turkey's relations with the Iraqi and Syrian kurds: A comparative approach(Işık Üniversitesi, 2018-09-05) Alyüz, Işın; Kayhan Pusane, Özlem; Işık Üniversitesi, Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, Uluslararası İlişkiler Yüksek Lisans ProgramıThis thesis examines the striking variance in Turkish foreign policy towards the Iraqi and Syrian Kurds between 2011 and 2017, during the Syrian civil war. It explains the difference in Turkish foreign policy by focusing on the impact of socially constructed identities on actor behavior with the guidance of Lene Hansen’s discursive research model. This thesis argues that constructed identities, as the foundation and product of foreign policy, have a major role in shaping the difference in the incumbent Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) foreign policy practices towards the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Democratic Union Party (PYD), as well as its armed wing People’s Protection Units (YPG). Although both the KRG and the PYD/YPG are pro-Kurdish political formations, the AKP government pursued an alliance with the former from 2007 onwards, while it identified thelatter as a national security threat. This thesis uses discourse analysis to inspect the tripartite relationship of these actors from the perspective of identity theory.Yayın Ontological insecurity, anxiety, and hubris: an affective account of Turkey-KRG relations(International Relations Council of Turkey, 2022-03-10) Kayhan Pusane, Özlem; Ilgıt, AslıGiven Iraqi Kurds’ special place in Turkey’s ‘biographical narrative’, Turkey-Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) relations are not simply strategic or economic but also highly affectively charged. These relations involve emotional encounters filled with anxiety, pride, anger, and disappointment that generate concerns for not only Turkey’s physical security but also its ontological security. This paper traces the emotional context of Turkey-KRG relationship. It suggests that a combination of Turkey’s deep-rooted ‘anxiety’ and ‘hubris’ toward the Iraqi Kurds prevented the emergence of a close partnership between these two actors and fostered merely a ‘fragile rapprochement’ since 2008.Yayın Armenian identity in the Turkish and American documentaries through images(2017-10-06) Şeylan, SeherWhile cinema carrying the social values of past to present, it is also leading up the embodiment of the dominant perception shapes the present. In this regard, the representation of reality has much importance in the documentaries which particularly have culture, identity and belonging bonding. Documentary, as a part of its difference from fiction in line with reconstruction of reality, is a cultural product. While this product emerges, the reality is often interpreted with stereotypes, prejudices, negative political, cultural and social images. The identity representation about „we? or „other? is reflected with various events, connections and the past. On the other hand, the using of past of social groups, for supporting the ideas they believe in and achieving their goals, has a great role in terms of expressing their opinions in public. At this point documentaries are the areas where the producer-director reveals his/her opinions and emotions. Those personal feellings and opinions are often reflection of collective memory shaped by data of social past. The aim of this study is to analyze on which images the Armenian identity is constructed in the American and Turkish documentaries and the shaping of the representation of Armenian identity on what kind of rhetorics and visuals. Armenian identity will be examined from the perspective of imagology by the method of discourse analysis. Any intangible and tangible image that is used to represent the Armenian identity will be solved with the help of the discourse analysis. In this study, where the image, which contains a fictional structure is used to represent the Armenian identity, the references made by the director while using images to the past, history and values of the community he/she is in, are accepted as the main source of the analysis. It has showed that the perception, brought with historical events contains tension and conflict between Turks and Armenians from 18th to present, is reflected in the cultural products.Yayın No andropause for gay men? The body, aging and sexuality in Turkey(Routledge, 2018-10-03) Erol Jamieson, Maral; Özbay, CenkThis article aims to contribute to the ongoing scholarly debate about the implications of andropause in the Gender Studies literature by decentring and complicating it further using the case of Turkish gay men. Aging gay men in Turkey struggle to remain young, healthy and cool' as they use their wittiness and emotional maturity towards younger men. All of these happen at the intersection of masculinity politics and homophobia within Turkish society and the profound ageism within the global gay culture. Our questions are shaped around andropause and its absence as gay men reject and disidentify with it: Is andropause a heteronormative concept? Through the active rejection of the external outcomes of aging and andropause, mid-life Turkish gay men present an idiosyncratic vantage point to explicate the relatively understudied intersection of masculinity, homosexuality and aging in the non-western contexts. Through interviews we contend that, unlike their heterosexual equivalents, mid-life gay men do not accept andropause, but instead they develop tactics to consolidate their socially capable, self-assured and well-integrated subjectivity within the fringes of the global gay culture. Looking closer at aging gay men and their multifactorial strategies provides us the chance to grasp the ubiquitous heteronormativity inscribed in the narratives of andropause.Yayın The effect of clothing as a marker on identity(Motif Yayıncılık, 2021-03-15) Özdil, Mehmet AdaOne of the codes used by individuals to define their identity and convey it to others is clothing. Clothing, which is an instrument that can draw symbolic boundaries between people, must have a strong link between individuals’ real social identities and externally perceived hints in order to be read in common by observers. The major problem to be investigated in this research is to analyze the relationships between identity and clothing, which have been going on since ancient times and will continue in the future. In order to understand these relationships, a theoretical framework needs to be established, and a broad, holistic perspective on the social dimensions of clothing should be developed. The main purpose of this article was to draw on the relationship between clothing and major components of identity. Based on the fact that alternative clothing codes transform those who wear certain clothes into effective symbolic subjects in terms of directing them to a certain behavior politically, culturally, and socially, it was analyzed that this subject constitutes the basis of class struggle.
