When Michel Foucault first introduced the notion of heterotopia in 1969, he addressed to real places that separate users from usual time and create imaginary orders in which many fragmentary possible worlds come together in an “impossible place” without being interrupted with the passage and destruction of time. With the development in recent years in augmented reality and new ways of representing and experiencing space, the possibility to transmit architecture into something more have been found. From post-truth to augmented reality there is a wide spectrum of illusion in architecture where the representation of an idea is more important than the idea itself. Thus, formulating and representing architectural space in different formats becomes crucial. This research aims to understand what these ever-changing, multi-layered spaces that are filled with dynamic visual and audial qualities in the era of high-tech information, offer to its dwellers. As the notion of heterotopia is reanalyzed as “digital heterotopia”, this research questions what the future holds for the practice and theory of architecture.

Nietzsche’s influence on modernist bildungsroman: the immoralist, a portrait of the artist as a young man, and demian / Başpınar, Harika; Alpakın Martınez Caro, Dürrin; Department of English Literature (2014) This thesis carries out a comparative analysis of three modernist bildungsromans written by André Gide, James Joyce, and Hermann Hesse in the light of Nietzschean philosophy. The Immoralist (1902), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), and Demian (1919) are all coming of age novels reflecting the zeitgeist of modern Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. It is argued that their protagonists are typical modernist characters who show a rebellious characteristic and strive for freedom and authe...
Deleuze and Guattari’s encounter with Beckett within the context of desiring machines Öztürk Bakacak, Beste; Yıldırım, Erdoğan; Department of Sociology (2014) In this thesis Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s social theory, which is based on their conceptualization of desiring machines, is analyzed within the references to Samuel Beckett’s works in two volume Capitalism and Schizophrenia. Focusing on Beckett’s works play a key role to comprehend the new ways that Deleuze and Guattari's desiring machines introduced, within their perspective against the traditional approach to desire which handles it in the context of lack. Besides, in this thesis a new interpreta...
An Analysis of hyperreality in John Fowles’s the magus and Paul Auster’s moon palace Önal, Özlem; Alpakın Martınez Caro, Dürrin; Department of English Literature (2019) Jean Baudrillard claims that the postmodern individual lives in “the desert of the real” (Simulacra 1) where there is no absolute reality anymore as the endless proliferation of simulacra marks the end of reality and truth, leading to the emergence of hyperreality. The aim of this thesis is to study the way hyperreality can be explored in two postmodern novels which are John Fowles’s The Magus: A Revised Version (1977) and Paul Auster’s Moon Palace (1989) and to state that an escape from hyperreality is pro...
In the Still of the Moment: Deleuze's Phenomena of Motionless Time Shores, Corry Michael (2014-05-01) A process philosophical interpretation of Deleuze's theories of time encounters problems when formulating an account of Deleuze's portrayal of temporality in The Time-Image, where time is understood as having the structure of instantaneity and simultaneity. I remedy this shortcoming of process philosophical readings by formulating a phenomenological interpretation of Deleuze's second synthesis of time. By employing Deleuze's logic of affirmative synthetic disjunction in combination with his differential cal...
Heidegger and Foucault: On the Relation Between the Anxiety-Engendering-Truth and Being-Towards-Freedom Karademir, Aret (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-08-01) In his very last, now famous, interview, Michel Foucault states that his philosophical thought was shaped by his reading of Heidegger, even though he does not specify what aspects of Heidegger's philosophy inspired him in the first place. However, his last interview is not the only place where Foucault refers to Heidegger as his intellectual guide. In his 1981/1982 lecture course, The Hermeneutics of the Subject, Foucault confesses that the way Heidegger conceptualized the relationship between subject and t...
