This dissertation aims to construct theoretical and conceptual framework to describe and explain the dynamics of the exchangee habitus and the interrelatedness of the exchangee habitus, the social memory of the population exchange and identification processes of the exchangees. These multidirectional relations among the concepts of habitus, social memory and identification processes constitute the main theoretical framework and the conceptualization of these relations is examined by introducing the exchangee habitus. The construction is employed to analyze the case of Sarıdünya village in Samsun, populated by the exchangees from Greece to Turkey in 1923 as a result of Lausanne Peace Treaty. Tobacco production, the main economic activity of the villagers, provided for a nest for social memory and distinctive daily practices. In order to understand dynamics of the exchangee habitus and to provide a holistic picture of the case, the study is based on a field work that spanned in the summer of 2011 including qualitative research methods. According to the main conclusions of the study, first, there emerges specific exchangee habitus as a result of the interrelation among (1) the social memory of the population exchange and the homeland; (2) continuous tobacco production for the decades and (3) the villager‟s daily encounters with nonexchangee people. Second, according to the villagers‟ intensity of identification with the exchangee habitus, there are three different groups among the villagers were identified: conscious but indifferent, interested, and committed villagers. The dissertation contributes to the literature on the population exchange with its originality and holistic perspective.

An analysis of the diffusion of structures and practices in a high-level bureaucratic organization in Turkey by using "new institutional theory" Sert, Semih; Şimşek, Hasan; Department of Educational Sciences (2008) This study analyzes the process of the diffusion of structures and practices in an organizational setting using the theory of new institutionalism as the theoretical basis. The explanation of the diffusion process has been subject to major variations due to epistemological and ontological reasons. Former theories of organizational reality looked at organizations as their sole units of analyses and accounted for the diffusion process accordingly; however, today, it is widely observed and accepted that organi...
The Input/output mechanism of chaos generation Fen, Mehmet Onur; Akhmet, Marat; Department of Mathematics (2013) The main objective of this thesis is to develop a new method for chaos generation through the input/output mechanism on the basis of differential and discrete equations. In the thesis, this method is applied to various models in mechanics, electronics, meteorology and neural networks. Chaotic sets of continuous functions as well as the concepts of the generator and replicator of chaos are introduced. Inputs in the form of both continuous and piecewise continuous functions are applied to arbitrarily high dim...
The effect of the nomadic/settled contradiction on the transformation of the Kazakh identity: a reinterpretation Özkan, Alparslan; Köksal, Pınar; Department of Eurasian Studies (2020) The aim of this thesis is to examine the effect of historical contradiction between nomadism and sedentarism on the transformation of the nomadic Kazakh identity by using the theoretical approaches of Ibn Khaldun and Anatoly M. Khazanov. From the 18th century to the first half of the 20th century, the relation of the Kazakh society with Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union was one of the most clear examples of this historical conflict. The Kazakhs, who had a pastoral nomadic lifestyle during these periods, w...
The Relationships Between Motivations of Intergroup Differentiation as a Function of Different Dimensions of Social Identity Tasdemir, Nagihan (SAGE Publications, 2011-06-01) This article aims to classify social identity-based theories of intergroup differentiation in terms of different dimensions of social identity to understand further the motivational bases of intergroup differentiation. For this purpose, I attempt to incorporate three lines of research in social psychology: (a) theories examining intergroup differentiation as a function of social identity, namely social identity theory and SCT; (b) studies suggesting social identity as a multidimensional construct; and (c) m...
