© 2022 Turkish Historical Society. All rights reserved.Within the historical and geographical continuity of beekeeping culture, a rural building typology has developed for the storage of hives and use of bees. The bee house structures, also known as apiaries and function as shelters used by bees to produce honey are unique and distinctive components of the rural context. The architecture of these structures can be examined in a typological framework through their tectonic qualities as they differ in terms of material, construction logic, and architectural design. This study addresses the bee house as a rural architectural type and interprets the typological reading by examining the structural construct and logic of this building type through the concepts of “tectonic” and “syntax”. To illustrate the discussion, a group of bee houses identified and documented in the field surveys conducted in rural areas within the borders of Konya province in Turkey are introduced and contextualized; typology is prepared by classifying the documented sample according to construction techniques. For comparison, Antalya examples which set the basis of the typology are briefly mentioned.

Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’ndan Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’ne geçişte devamlılıklar olduğu gibi kopuşlar da mevcuttur. Elbette geçiş süreci devamlılık ve kopuş noktaları ile sınırlı değildir. Uluslararası düzlemde sistem, ulusal düzlemde siyasi ve...
The alevis in post-1980 Turkey : a critical discourse analysis of official texts Uyanık, Zeki; Rittersberger Tılıç, Helga İda; Department of Sociology (2009) This thesis analyzes official discursive practices towards the Alevis in post-1980 Turkey.

Using the method of critical discourse analysis, I examined official texts including school textbooks of compulsory religious courses, legal dic...
