Using Photography as a Creative Research Tool

İlayda Çetin — 2024-08-29

This article introduces visual research, and photography in particular, as a way to examine the field of instant knowledge. This study focuses on the relationship between architecture, which uses photography as a communication tool, and photography, which uses photography as a spatial object. This dual relationship is important for him to direct design photography in his own way. In addition, the influence and effectiveness of material thinking in anthropological studies of photography and photographic applications are also discussed. It attempts to deal with some aspects of these important debates in practice; This discussion follows a brief explanation of the use of photography in social studies. Such analytical strategies show the benefit of perceiving the space in a more rational way through photography, by taking the analysis of photographs beyond the mere visual. After reviewing the space, perception, and the basic analytical positions of the photographic complex, the material studies of the photographs were investigated through examples: the idea of “placement”, in which the objects were evaluated through photography and activated in the bringing together, and the processes of re-purposing the material and the idea of correcting the space in a better way were discussed. . The article argues that photographs can create a more beautiful object world and embodied spaces that develop relationships in space, not only through visual content. In the study, the connection between the architect Le Corbusier, who has not lost his currency until now, and whose thoughts and designs have been written and continues to be written most, with photography, which is the most current or popular art branch today, is exemplified.

In the area of New Media, contrary to the traditional one, qualities such as quick access to the educational material, freedom of time and place, easy access to the information, user-centeredness become prominent. New media technology has extended the tools of graphic expression. As new media is used in the area of education, educational new media software play an active role in both in-class and out-of-class activities in today’s school and academic life. The educational multimedia software, that are often chosen at studying activities and also self-studies, directly form an interaction with the student. Forming direct interaction with the user of the educational new media software is connected with their designs. The graphic designs of educational new media software start the interaction with the user, and it is an important process which enables the continuity of the activities and makes the software accomplish their purposes. Due to these reasons in the process of educational new media design, materializing the design process, regarding of target group and being interaction-centered and also of graphic elements and principles, can enable to produce successful and effective software. This research’s main aim is to explain necessary graphic elements and principles -in the process of designing educational new media platforms - needed for having a rich graphic communication process with the users and making the education more qualified. In this work, literature review, as a type of qualitative research methodology, has been made. In conclusion, it is highlighted that the designed software are educational tools themselves and it is important for the designs of the educational new media software to have convenient approach to graphic design elements.

Reflection of the Concept of Interaction in the Digitalized World in the Information Graphic

Serkan Vural Melek Düzgün — 2024-08-29

With the concept of interaction being used in the digitalized environment of the new era, designs in which elements such as interaction, sound, and movement can be used together, which can be added to the designs by differentiating from the traditional method in the visualization phase of the data in the newly created environment, meet the interactive functional design need of the new era. The concept of interaction has carried the communication interaction that existed in the past to the digital environment, changing the position of the target audience, which has been the audience until now, and made it the user who will direct the system. Information graphics, which present information in a clear and understandable way with visual and contextual arrangement, wanted to differentiate from the default data presentation techniques, and to develop the design order in the digitalized world and move it to the digital environment. Interactive infographic application studies have started to be carried out by combining the interaction design of the data visualization technique, which was previously presented as static or animated, with the interaction design that allows the use of moving, audible elements together with the development of digitalized technology. Interactive infographics, which have the opportunity to present information of different feature sizes in the same environment, are the preferred application methods in the new period. With the spread of portable media, the user can freely access information from anywhere in this digital world, with applications created after interaction design studies. In this study, the development, design and digitalization of the concept of interaction in the digitalized world were examined and the subject of the infographic application method, which is the reflection of this development on the infographic, was discussed.

The Utopia of Experimental Typography in Social Life

Şida Akkuş Serkan Vural — 2024-08-29

We encounter thousands of typefaces that play an active and qualified role in every aspect of our lives. The typefaces that we come across and that we use during the day also have an important place in the design. In this article, in which experimental typography applications are discussed in the social life from the graphic arts culture to the present, it is explained that typography is used in a more original and creative way, from being just a tool to becoming a goal with the constantly moving world. In this study, where the difference between looking and seeing is frequently mentioned, it is aimed to create a utopia that allows people to think about, criticize, and create an abstraction effect on design when they look at design, allowing them to go to non-existent places and lead their own inner journeys. The way of life of a person in society is called social life. It draws attention to the critical examination of the underlying reality, not the visible, with various experimental typography examples that help to isolate us from the society. Signs in the environmental or public area, various directions draw us to act directly without thinking about it, that is, to get out of the static structure and take action. The time we take to look at these designs that put us into action is seconds, we see them at that moment and act directly, but when we examine them, we can question how and for what purpose, in what color, and in what size they were made. In addition to presenting sections from daily life in the article, it also refers to conceptual art by referring to our ability to question and reflect.

Re-iteration and Re-make as a Leap between Bodies and Documents, and Beyond

Şafak Tuba ÇatalbaşRıfat Şahiner — 2024-08-29

During the crises of contemporary society, art as an action becomes an opportunity and a leap for thinking and acting outside the norms, creates short-circuits within given realities, and reclaims truth by disrupting the status-quo. Researching the potentials of the sustainability and accessibility of art through daily activities can be made possible through practices that generate dialogical, relational, and body-centric experiences. Regarding the experience of live art, as well as its archiving and handing down to the future, performance and its documentation do not stand in a binary opposition, but in a process of mutual becoming. In this article, the concept of post-performance and the performativity of the documentation process will be utilized to rethink live art in light of a renewed perspective of life itself, through recent developments in neuroscience and medicine, and investigated through three artists' practices of repetition. Taking Tino Sehgal's, Lygia Clark's and Douglas Davis’ radical approach to art as examples that contributed to art's gaining acceptance as a process-based practice and drawing on Elizabeth Grosz’s explorations in Nietzsche and the Choreography of Knowledge, binaries such as individual vs. society, organism vs. environment will be investigated as complex processes and becomings with entangled actions and mutual transformations, including their potentials to surpass binary oppositions such as material vs. immaterial, real vs. fiction, nature vs. culture, theory vs. practice, body vs. discourse, digital vs. analog, art vs. non-art.

Risk Factors Affecting Wheat Sales Time İn Turkey: The Case Of Şanlıurfa Province

Remziye Özel Nurullah Sağlam — 2024-08-29

Due to the increase in irrigation opportunities in Şanlıurfa, which is located in the Southeastern Anatolia region, cotton etc. Widespread production of crops, drought in areas that cannot be irrigated due to climate change negatively affect the yield and quality of wheat agriculture and thus the income of producers. Another factor affecting producer income is product sales price. The purpose of this study is to identify the risk variables impacting wheat production activity and to offer recommendations for raising the producer's revenue. 180 farmer questionnaires were employed in the study, and frequency and percentage distribution were taken using descriptive statistics. The farmers are estimated to be 49.3 years old on average, have 6.51 years of formal education, 25.31 years of experience, and produce wheat at a rate of 118.20 decares on average.One-sample t-test was used to determine the differences between two independent groups and correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between some variables. Correlation analysis was made between the income obtained as a result of the wheat production activities of the enterprises and the sales time and it was determined that there was a good linear relationship (r= 0.676) between them. The attitudes of farmers toward risk factors in wheat production were gauged using a Likert attitude scale, and the reliability of the data obtained was determined as 0.72 Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. It has been determined that a significant part of the wheat produced in the enterprises (86.1%) is sold after the harvest and without waiting for the prices to reach the most appropriate level, while 13.9% of them sell the wheat in the planned period.

The Effect of Flood and Overflow Disaster on 16 June 2022 on the Agricultural Lands in Ayazini (Afyonkarahisar)

Mehmet Ali Özdemir Hülya Kaymak — 2024-08-29

The geographical causes and effects of the flood and overflow events that occurred on 16.06.2022 around the Ayazini settlement located in the north of Afyonkarahisar province were analyzed in this study. In this context, hydrological, elevation, and slope analyses were done; the area's lithological and meteorological data, land use, and damage assessment report data were used. The field was visited two days after the disaster; the extent of the damage and the works carried out after the disaster were observed on site. According to the findings, the main reason for the flood and overflow disaster in the Ayazini Stream Basin is the amount of precipitation and its characteristics. Just after the basin's rainy days between 11-15 June, 34.5 mm of precipitation fell within a few hours on 16 June, and 17.4 mm of this precipitation occurred within the first 60 minutes. The torrential rains that continued for 1 hour turned into overflows and floods in a short period in the land saturated with water due to the precipitations that occurred in previous days. In addition, the high and rugged topography, the prevalence of tuff rocks in the field, and low vegetation cover due to human destruction on the slopes increased the severity and extent of the flood event. All these physical geography conditions made the area susceptible to floods and overflows; overflow on the valley floor and floods and rainwashes on the slopes occurred. As a result of the Ayazini flood and overflow, one house was destroyed due to the collapse, approximately 15 tons of stored products were submerged, and around 29 animals (small cattle and poultry) were drowned. Due to the agricultural season, 570 decares of agricultural land were also affected by the disaster. Agricultural products were destroyed and rotted, most crops remained under the material brought by floods and overflows, and significant yield losses were experienced in the remaining products. The produce on the agricultural lands on the less inclined southern slopes of the valley was mostly damaged by floods and heavy rains. The agricultural lands at the bottom of the valley were affected by the flood and the overflow of the Ayazini Stream. It has been determined that the region is risky in terms of floods and overflows, considering the alluviums with flood characteristics and the data related to the floods that occurred in the last century.

A Sociological Assessment on Identity Problems in the Globalization Process

Mert Erekmekçi — 2024-08-29

Since the last quarter of the 20th century, the gradual rapid changes in the technological, economic, scientific and informatic fields have penetrated all layers of social structures in the world and caused radical changes worldwide. While this process, called "globalization", has made the borders uncertain, on the other hand, it has burned the economic and political structures, cultural and social values, individual perceptions and rules in which it has developed, with a global fire. The subject discussed in this study is the new phenomenon of “identityless” identity that sprouted from the ashes left behind by the global fire. Globalization, which has caused radical changes in all social structures, is the focus of many problems today. One of the problems experienced on a global scale is the problem of "identity". New values, symbols and thoughts emerging in the process of globalization attack the cultural and mental structures of individuals and force them to change. Ideologically, the uncertainty, rootlessness, variability and speed of the new lifestyle that globalization imposes on individuals pushes individuals to develop a vague sense of identity that can be filled with anything or emptied at any moment. In the study, firstly, the definition and dimensions of globalization are discussed. Then, the concept of identity, types of identity and identity changes were examined. In this context, the consequences of global effects that lead to identity change are discussed in terms of time and space. Within the scope of the study, the phenomenon of “unidentity”, which erodes existing identities by affecting the identity structures of the values that emerged in the globalization process, is focused on. Within the scope of the study, studies related to the subject were analyzed using the document analysis method, and the main findings that shaped the discussion were presented and interpreted. In line with the findings of the study, it has been pointed out that the problem of "non-identity" experienced today is characterized by pluralism and ambiguity shaped by the practices arising from the conflict of the new values emerging with globalization and the rational, positivist identity construction of the modern period.

A Revıew On Female Academıcıans From Academıc Artıcles

Kevser Buran Çetin Bektaş — 2024-08-29

According to the August 2022 YÖK data, 46% (84,405) of the academicians working in higher education institutions in Turkey are female academicians. After 1980, with the changes made by YÖK in higher education and the increase in the number of universities, female academicians started to show themselves in academia. In addition, with the Women Research Centers opened within universities since the 2000s, an increase is observed in the studies conducted for female academicians. Although the rate of female academicians is seen to be quite high in terms of numbers; there are many horizontal and vertical problems in the academic environment. Female academics cannot show themselves fully; sometimes due to the reflections of social stereotypes on the academic environment, sometimes due to the different difficulties that manifest themselves in the field of work and sometimes in the academic community and family environment. With this study, an examination has been made on the results obtained regarding female academics and the important issues emphasized in the articles published for the academy. For this purpose, using the keyword "female academician", a search was made on Google Scholar between the years 2015-2022 and the articles were examined by selecting 20 scientific articles with the clearest results for female academics. As a result of the examination, the study was evaluated under the titles of being in the administration, gender-based discrimination and violence, career development, work-life balance.

Asiye Çelenlioğlu — 2024-08-29

Although the works that emerged from the first half of the 20th century, when the modern Egyptian novel began to take shape, had a Western character in terms of form and content for a short time, it did not take long for them to reach a national identity.The Egyptian novel, which feeds on its own problematic and characterizes its own people, has great significance in understanding and explaining social and political life.The documentation method used by the novel in the times when realism was in fashion, and the content in the stories it fictionalized by feeding on the social structure constituted the basis for reading sociology of literature. Tawfiq al-Hakim’s work “The Diary of a Country Prosecutor” (Yevmiyyât Nâib fi’l-Eryâf) which he wrote in 1937 and based on his impressions while working as an assistant prosecutor in the countryside between 1929 and 1934, stands out with its emphasis on the concepts of crime, justice and power. By reading the novel from this perspective, the study will evaluate the legal mechanism shaped in the shadow of social and political conditions, and will point out different projections of the same problematic by touching on the points where it overlaps with other novels dealing with the period.

Loss of Truth and Unconscious in Art

Barış Yılmaz — 2024-08-29

The age we live in is the age of artificial formations, in which knowledge and reality are produced, and human sensory tools are exposed to mechanisms that create different realities. Along with the misleading or false information imposed on the individual by political and economic concerns, the individual's perception of consciousness has been corrupted, and his perception of reality has entered a transformation that is directed from outside himself. Fiction has replaced reality. The intention is to manage communities and perception management. This is about adapting individuals to the created systems and imposing the created roles on the individual. All environmental manipulations aim to remove consciousness from the control of the individual and make it open to the direction of the authority. The unconscious has gained more importance in the current period when the consciousness and analytical mind are exposed to such threats and manipulations. This is because the unconscious is a field concerned not only with external reality, but with internal reality. This study deals with the use of the unconscious together with art in this age where the truth is lost and the truth is shown in different forms. How is the unconscious already present in art and creation itself? and in what way? in art? In a period when there were various productions of reality, an examination was made about art and the unconscious as a means of reaching information and conveying the truth.

Elif AkbulutDicle Öney — 2024-08-29

Pottery, one of the indispensables of the eating and drinking culture, has existed as a craft and profession in Anatolian lands for thousands of years and continues to maintain this existence in line with the needs. However, in the last 30–40 years, with the changing technology, economy and industrialization process, products made from raw materials such as plastic and metal have become cheaper and more accessible. The preference for products made from clay has decreased, and pottery has begun to take place in the group of professions on the verge of extinction.

Despite all the negativities above, it is seen that projects have been developed recently by legal entities or local governments to revive the profession and ensure its continuity and visibility. Sındırgı district of Balıkesir province, which is one of the places where the profession ends, is one of them. A series of projects initiated by the last living pottery master Yalçın Akkaya, master trainer, Muhammet Asil Çetin and Süleyman Çetin as local entrepreneurs form the scope of this study. In the study, the beginning of Yalçın Usta’s profession, information about traditional productions and the district's projects will be conveyed. The primary data of the research consists of interviews with Yalçın Usta and project founders Muhammet Asil Çetin and Süleyman Çetin in October 2021. With this research, the sustainability of cultural heritage was aimed at setting an example for other local governments and entrepreneurs of the projects developed to protect pottery and transfer it to new generations.

In their new designs they will produce, they should be able to evaluate the knowledge they have acquired about Traditional Turkish acclaim. In addition to the aim of beautifying the past by covering ceramics in architecture, it should now be beautified from the point of view of today's art. In this study, with this point of view, framework production techniques that can be used in creating a "cini" will be explained with subject examples. Information on “cini” framework production techniques was published in 2021 as an interview and article with different titles and visuals. In this article, which is a continuation of the aforementioned publication and presented as a paper in 2022 and published as a summary paper, only the visuals, techniques and new findings produced in the undergraduate courses directed by the author during the 2021-2022 education period are shared.

Didar Ezgi Özdağ Zeynep Dere — 2024-08-29

When we look at the human development process, we can say that the life cycle is determined by biological, social and psychological factors. Development is under two kinds of influence, biological and environmental. There is also a mutual interaction between heredity and the environment Decently. Environmental factors can accelerate or slow down the development process. But the sequence of this process does not change, no matter what. For example, the physical, cognitive, social and emotional development of children is shaped according to their relationship with the environment. At the beginning of environmental factors, family comes first. It is very important for the family to get to know the child and guide him according to his abilities, interests, individual development characteristics. Because these basic elements will form the future of children who are guided correctly. Every child is born with unique abilities. For some children, artistic abilities are at the forefront of these. The artistic development of children is directly proportional to their physical, emotional, social and intellectual abilities. In addition, all these characteristics also contribute to the child's self-concept, which consists of perceptions and evaluations of himself during adulthood. In general, it refers to the attitude / behavior of a person and the way he perceives his environment. The concept in which a person can observe his awareness of himself in the clearest way is defined as “self-perception”. On the other hand, the artistic self, which consists of individuals' perceptions of themselves in the field of art, is very important for the artistic development of the child. Art is one of the most important areas in which a child can express himself. The child is able to make his/her self visible through various images, sounds, performances or pictures. With this research, the relationship between the artistic development of the child and the relationship of the self has been tried to be Deciphered in detail.

Asil Eser Gökhan Palgın — 2024-08-29

The existence of Turkish minorities, identified as Armenians, Greeks and Jews with the Lausanne Peace Treaty and the minority schools, has always been one of the most discussed issues from the Ottoman period to the present. With the proclamation of the republic, the Law of Unification of Education (Tevhid-i Tedrisat) was prepared in order to gather all educational institutions under one roof. In this way, it was aimed to find solutions to the existing problems in the minority schools, as well as, in other educational institutions of Turkey. The radical change and transformation process in educational institutions, which started with the aforementioned enactment of the Law of Unification of Education, directly affected minority schools too. However, neither the changes nor the stages that minority education institutions have gone through within this process have previously been studied in a multi-faceted manner. To put it more clearly, the kind of religious education that minority students receive has not been investigated thoroughly, that is in reference to school materials, measurement and evaluation techniques, and classroom activities, as well as the problems experienced by the teachers of the minority schools in their relation with teachers of Religious Culture and Moral Knowledge. In this respect, the present study is expected to shed light on this relatively less studied area of education in the Turkish context. The study also investigates religious education at the Private Bomonti Armenian Catholic School and Private Gökçeada Greek Schools in Turkey through data collection techniques such as interviews and observation, and data analyses based on a thorough literature review.

Agricultiral Structure of Tunceli and Advantages Of Organic Agriculture

Onur Kırboğa Hidayet Bostan — 2024-08-29

Organic plant production and organic animal production have gained importance recently, when concerns about healthy nutrition have started to increase in the world. Chemical inputs and pesticide use, which are used extensively in conventional agriculture, form the basis of these concerns. These inputs used in conventional agriculture not only negatively affect human health, but also cause environmental pollution by mixing with soil and groundwater. Since no chemical inputs are used in organic agriculture, it is possible to say that this production method is an environmentally friendly production model. The organic product market appeals to large masses in the world and this market share gains importance every year. Tunceli is among the provinces in our country where organic plant and animal production can be done efficiently. The fact that the industry is not yet developed in this province, the population density is low, and the geographical structure is suitable for organic agriculture and especially organic sheep and goat production can be considered as advantages. In this study, the organic farming potential of Tunceli has been evaluated based on organic farming rules and geographical features. What needs to be done in order to evaluate the agricultural structure and organic agriculture potential of the province is presented.
