This thesis critically analyzes the dynamics wherein the artistic field- the art world per se possessing both 'glocal' and 'universal' attributes- has been constructed as an autonomous field within the discourses produced about art. The research focuses on some of the moments during which the field, as becoming an 'institution' inside the framework of modern state paradigm, has been imbricated and freed from social history by designating some of the fundamental arguments about its epistemological, historical and structural qualities and it shows how 'autonomy' has been a stake of struggle. The narratives about how 'commodification of culture' and 'autonomy of the field' proceed in the 'West' and in Turkey are discussed in comparison in this ethnographic study that is realized by Constructive Grounded Theory and carried out by centering a group of art professionals living in İstanbul.

Importance of art in authenticating dasein
Şenyurt, E. Yasemin; İnam, Ahmet; Department of Philosophy (2006)
The aim of this thesis is to try to establish a relationship between Heidegger̕s thought on authenticity and art, and to show the role of art in authentic being of Dasein.

Thus, the relation between art and authenticity can be based on alethia which is the revealing of being as itself. At the same time art plays an important role in authenticating Dasein by i...
Art as a social process : hybrid constitution of new media art form
Hasdemir, Bilge; Mücen, Barış; Department of Sociology (2013)
This thesis attempts to analyze the formation of art as social process by focusing on hybrid constitution of new media art form. Hybridization in new media art is taken into account as intersection of different spheres by which limitations of different spheres transcend and new possiblities arise. Accordingly, not only new media art form is established via various types of relationings but also it leads to formation of different types of social relations.
