In this thesis, I investigate the linguistic dimension of plastic artworks focusing on their names. My analysis of names follows Ludwig Wittgenstein’s arguments in his books Tractatus Logico Philosopicus and Philosophical Investigations; and Martin Heidegger’s views on work of art and world play a complementary role. The “tension” between the image and the word is the main focus throughout this study.

Transformation of architectural space with the aid of artistic production Özden, Başak; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2011) The goal of this thesis is to study the transformation of architectural space with the aid of artistic production. By questioning architectural production as a non-static process open to alteration and intervention, this condition is claimed to enlarge the frontiers of architecture in terms of interdisciplinary contributions and new design methods. Inspired by the course ARCH 524, conducted by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayşen Savaş in the METU Department of Architecture, this study aims to understand the possible way...
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.
The Concept of disinterestedness in modern philosophy of art: Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Heidegger Akkökler Karatekeli, Büşra; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2016) This thesis aims to investigate the concept of disinterestedness in the modern philosophy of art. To this end, I firstly attempt to elucidate how this concept is described and gained its specific meaning in Kant. Then, I focus on Schopenhauer’s salient contribution to the discussion of aesthetic disinterestedness – thought along with his metaphysics –, namely the body, and attempt to bring into view the relation between the body and aesthetic disinterestedness. In the following, I investigate how Nietzsche’...
Finsler geometry and its applications to electromagnetism Çağıl, Ayşe; İpekoğlu, Yusuf; Department of Physics (2003) In this thesis Finsler geometry is extensively reviewed. The geometrization of fields by a Finslerian approach is considered. Also unification of electrodynamics and gravitation with suitable Finslerian metrics is examined.
Investigation of design and analyses principles of honeycomb structures Aydıncak, İlke; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2007) In this thesis, design and analyses of honeycomb structures are investigated. Primary goal is to develop an equivalent orthotropic material model that is a good substitute for the actual honeycomb core. By replacing the actual honeycomb structure with the orthotropic model, during the finite element analyses, substantial advantages can be obtained with regard to ease of modeling and model modification, solution time and hardware resources . To figure out the best equivalent model among the approximate analy...
