The purpose of this thesis is based on to claim that in paradigmatic problematization of art, contemporary art and specificities of subjectivities of contemporary art initiatives which is in contemporary art should be understood on the basis of knowledge and politics. The approach to contemporary art initiatives through Feminist Standpoint Theory will also bring the understanding of contemporary art that is critical to capitalist understanding of contemporary art. The institutionalized capitalist contemporary art is criticized by contemporary art initiatives both in their art practices and in their way of ‘organizations’. Feminist Standpoint methodology, through interactions allows one to acquire the specificities of the subjectivities of contemporary art initiatives that portray their differences. These differences are crucial in the sense that identifying the subjectivities of these art initiatives that are critical to paradigmatically modernist based art groups. Furthermore, the differences of these initiatives produce different knowledge and politics. In this study, the contemporary art initiatives in Ankara in Turkey are tried v to be understood on the basis of knowledge and politics productions. What was found is that Ankara contemporary art initiatives, in general, do not effectively produce critical knowledge and politics to capitalist contemporary art. Moreover, some of the ‘members’ of these initiatives try to participate in capitalist contemporary art scene. However, the video based contemporary art initiatives in Ankara produces critical knowledge and politics contrary to plastic arts based or music-based initiatives. In that sense, different initiatives produce different knowledge and politics, yet, it is crucial to criticize capitalist formations of art.

Autonomy of artistic field : the case study of İstanbul
Aydın, Ceren Can; Mücen, Barış; Department of Sociology (2013)
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, historica...
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’...
Making art in the early Turkish Republic : The Academy of Fine Arts in İstanbul and The Art-Craft Department in Ankara
Becker, Martina; Altan, Tomris Elvan; Department of History of Architecture (2013)
This dissertation studies creative practices in the early Turkish Republic alongside their conceptualisation as art, as a means of transcending the epistemic confines of traditional art historiography while addressing phenomena that themselves had little agency in establishing those confines. The study centres on the Academy of Fine Arts in Istanbul and the Art-Craft Department in Ankara. The two schools were not the exclusive sites of creative practices in Turkey, yet, as the only public institutions of pr...
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...
The Relation between metaphysics and art in Nietzsche’s philosophy
Karahan Balya, Gülizar; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2015)
The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the significance and relative positions of two central themes in Nietzsche’s philosophy, namely metaphysics and art. The perspective of life and the thought of will to power are located at the core of this investigation since they are considered to function as the organising ideas in Nietzsche’s overall philosophy. This perspective and thought require existence to be viewed as groundless and excessive and particularly as a constant flux of becoming that is ...
