Since its publication in 1984, Pierre Bourdieu’s prominent work called Distinction has been admired, imitated and discussed. Based on the research question of how tastes are shaped within relation to cultural capital, social capital and economic capital, this study aims to develop a descriptive analysis to measure different tastes of baglama students, regularly attending an urban–based music house, in Kızılay, Ankara. In order to trace the original study conducted by Bourdieu in 1980s to measure the tastes and stick to the later study in Britain which is more applicable and easier to operationalize, this study aims to question tastes of young people attending baglama courses, based on a long–lasting interview including sub–sections observing social/cultural/economic capital and tastes of interviewees.The most important contribution of this thesis in the field of sociology of art is that it aims to develop a methodological tool adapted to Turkey in order to assess cultural consumption and taste. More explicitly, it is the first attempt in Turkey to measure art taste of music students in an urban based music house.

Display by Design: Transformation of Museum Space Savaş Sargın, Ayşen (2017-01-31) The lecture title and its theoretical content have been highly influenced from the post-structuralist discourse developed after 1980’s. Theoretical shifts in historiography that had started questioning the linear flow of events and underlined the significance of memory and fragmented remembrance over institutionalized history; the developments in linguistic theories that presented the notorious arbitrary relationship between signifier and signified and the diachronic and synchronic strata of meanings associ...
The death of the author in the streetscape of Ankara: A Barthesian intervention into critical toponymy Düzgün, Doğuş; Alpan, Başak Zeynep; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2020-9) In this thesis I use the post-structuralist textual theory of Roland Barthes that is known as ‘the death of the author’ in order to explain the politics of street names. Barthes argued that in the literary texts author cannot fix the meaning as it is the readers who produce the meaning. In a similar way, I argue that the streetscape is a polysemous text in which the meaning is produced by readers (everyday users) rather than authors (the political elites that officially determine the street names). Implicat...
Intersection of architecture and music as Gesamtkunstwerk in Iannis Xenakis' selected works Özcan, Zeynep; Enginsoy Ekinci, Ayşe Sevil; Department of History of Architecture (2013) This thesis focuses on the two selected works of the architect/engineer/composer Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001); Philips Pavilion (1956-58) and Le Diatope (1978). It places these works at the intersection of architecture and music by showing how they combine spatial, musical and visual performances. Accordingly, it discusses them as exceptional twentieth-century examples of Gesamtkunstwerk; “total work of art.”
