Home As a Safe-Unsafe Space in Art in The Context of Object Relations: The Example of Michael Landy “Semi-Detached”

Hatice Kübra KUZUCANLI — 2024-08-29

The house in which one lives, the house, which is the place of shelter, transforms from an area whose boundaries can be determined by the person's contact with others and objects, to an area whose boundaries cannot be predicted with the issues of belonging, bonding and being safe. This area is personal as it is the witness of all the changes of the person, and besides the fact that the house contains personality and is a sheltered place with walls, it also establishes relationship patterns with many personalized meanings. One of these sub-meanings is that the house contains privacy, similar to the relationship that a person establishes with his body. The center of this privacy area is undoubtedly the states of the house image that tells the personal past and present of the artist. It is possible to interpret the information belonging to this special area of the artists on the axis of the house with visual examples as well as positioning them in rhetoric from the past to the present. Especially with contemporary works, artists reveal this personal sheltered space by establishing a visual narrative strategy with different disciplines and materials. When the bond established with a space with defined boundaries and the people and objects belonging to that space is at the center of the subject, the artist's experiences and clues about his past need to be associated with the subject, object, place and context. Despite the fact that the house is a privacy area, Michael Landy's displaying this sheltered area to the audience as if negating it, and what experiences could be behind this behavior aroused curiosity. It is discussed. Focusing the object relations theory is extremely important in terms of shedding light on the relationship that a person has established with objects from the first infancy to the present in determining his/her behavior in the following years. With this study, by referring to the relationship between the semi-Detached work and the object relations theory, which is a psychoanalytic theory, this relationship was tried to be determined, and a visual reading was carried out on the artist and his work. In this study, which used literature review and descriptive analysis model; In this study, answers are sought on the basis of Melanie Klein's theory of object relations to the questions of how an image that has taken its place in art from the past to the present is expressed in Michael Landy's case, and by which technical possibilities this expression is shaped, the bond that the artist establishes with the house and how this bond is reflected in art.

Cengiz GÜL — 2024-08-29

In Türkiye, as the TBMM and Presidential elections, which will be held in June 2023, if not renewed before, are getting closer and closer, a discussion about the number of election, that is, the term limit of the 12th President currently in office, is frequently brought to the agenda. These discussions, which seem to increase their intensity towards the elections, apart from the risk that will turn into a manipulation that wants to manage the perception of the voters, there is also the danger of becoming a pressure element on the ‘Supreme Election Board’ (YSK), which will have the last word on the presidential candidacy process too. Rather, this manipulative debate, which is carried out by actors in the political arena, should be handling and analyzing on the basis of law and especially within the constitutional framework. Because, although they have political reflections in terms of actors and results, it should be noted that the interpretation of the relevant provisions, the framework of which is regulated in the dimension of the constitution and law, and the methods and principles used in this interpretation are only related to the field of law. In this article, it is aimed to reveal the legal provision by analyzing the debates about the term limit of the 12th President, which tends to occupy Turkey's political agenda, in the axis of the relevant legal regulation and the case-law of ‘The Constitutional Court’ (AYM).

The Ordinary Women of Medieval Europe And The Monuments of Hate: Prostitutes

Derya GÜRTAŞ DÜNDAR — 2024-08-29

Although prostitution is referred to as "the oldest profession in the world", there have been different interpretations of its place in society according to cultures. A look at medieval Europe reveals that prostitution was a very common and much in demand. As an early medieval phenomenon, these ordinary women who were prostitutes were not usually seduced and deceived young girls; they consisted of either unemployed maids or women who had lost their jobs due to the economic crisis in the textile sector. When the reason are investigated, it is discovered that there is a link between the social and economic reasons and prostitution that is associated with poverty. Initially prostitutes were faced with serious restrictions both by society and the state. The notables of the city believed that prostitution should be done under state control to protect noble women and men from anarchy and aggression and discourage homosexuality and allowed brothels to be opened. Thus, sexual experiences with attractive women in brothels were viewed as a solution to discourage homosexual tendencies in men; it was thought that when the desire of men, who had stayed away from beautiful women because of their homosexual tendencies was steered toward the women in the brothels, their lust for these women would increase marriage rates in time. These brothels and prostitution were an important way out for the administrators until the Black Plague spread in Europe. During the Black Plague, the administrators considered brothels and prostitution a hazard because they prevented population growth which they resolved by shutting these activities down. The social, cultural, legal and economic causes and consequences of prostitution and prostitutes as a social problem that was also a concern for the civil and religious authorities in Medieval Europe are examined in this study.

According to the result of the analysis, the perception level of the teachers working in primary schools about organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behaviors is high. According to another result of the study, there is a moderately positive relationship between organizational commitment. Besides, organizational commitment is the predictor of organizational citizenship behaviors. As the organizational commitment levels of the teachers increase, their organizational citizenship behaviors will increase too. The high level of organizational citizenship behaviors of teachers will play a critical role in the preparation of an effective and productive educational environment. In this context, it is obvious that the organizational commitment in the institutions and the studies on this subject are very important. New policies should be developed by the Ministry of National Education to increase the organizational commitment of teachers. In addition, the outstanding effort of school administrators to strengthen teachers’ commitment to their schools is of critical importance for improving the quality of education and training in schools.

Shares are also made on these platforms about the benefits and harms of vaccines. However, due to the fact that information about the harms of vaccines provides an unusual and remarkable content feature, people who are not experts in this field may be more interested in this issue, and the unquestioned or limited questionable feature of this platform is more open to inaccurate content.In this study, the contents of the groups opposed to two different vaccines on Instagram and Facebook, which are social media platforms, are analyzed in a qualitative way and the documents that those who oppose the vaccine highlight in the development of these oppositions are analyzed descriptively with an interpretative form within the scope of the phenomenological attitude. Accordingly, it has been revealed that anti-vaccine groups have turned to virtual communities, highlighting the argument that vaccines contain ingredients that cause diseases and deaths, and conspiracy theories that vaccines are a tool for the secret projects of vaccine practitioners and manufacturers.
