The project of becoming human necessitated the utilization of memory which developed with the objectification of representations. Thus, humanity not only passed on its experiences through generations, but also 'domesticated' the world by creating the existential domains of time and space. By reflecting its movement and activity upon the earth and within the universe in certain temporal and material orders and thus creating space and time, humanity built for itself a civilizing environment. This creation of time and space made 'confrontations' and 'meetings' with the unknown possible. By defining a place within which representations were transformed into orders, humanity could define an identity for itself. The meeting with the 'other', and confronting the new may be possible only in this way. The temporal and spatial orders constituted the base from which transgression and liberty were possible. The idea of liberty, as well as the capacity to learn, grow from the delicate interplay between object/subject, known/unknown, order/chaos, and self and the other, at the periphery. Both form-making and the definition of identities are articulated and conditioned at the periphery. Thus, the periphery is also the zone of consciousness. Although identity is intensified at the center, there it also becomes blind to itself.

Image manipulation: a post-orthographic design medium Özkan, Eyüp; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2019) This thesis initially aims to reveal representational processes considered as “natural” to architecture. Based on the fact that architecture is reliant on its image, these processes are revisited in their technical terms in order to be able to “denaturalize” architectural design process. Particularly, the consideration of drawing and its technical qualities as inherent to architecture disguises the limitations they impose on the architectural work. Also, the institutionalization of drawing in the educationa...
The effects of gender role ideology, role salience, role demands and core self-evaluations on work-family interface Bıçaksız, Pınar; Sümer, Hayriye Canan; Department of Psychology (2009) The aim of the present study was to develop two conceptual frameworks; that are antecedents of family-to-work conflict and enhancement in the family domian, and antecedents of work-to-family conflict and enhancement in the work domain; and to test the relationships that are proposed by these frameworks. A pilot study was conducted with 73 career people to investigate the psychometric qualities of the adapted or constructed measures. The main study was conducted with 293 married career people. Results suppor...
Architecture Taking Shape Between Nature and Culture: The Primitive Hut as a Man-Made Creation Topçuoğlu, Feyza (2022-01-01) Architecture’s bounds with nature are represented as a complex process in a perverse cycle in the linear history of architecture and the process is intertwined with human actions, resulting in the built environment. Architecture tries to legitimize itself by incorporating culture to control and spatialize over nature in the socio-cultural dimension. This study aims to analyse architecture as remain in-between nature and culture by problematizing and questioning nature/culture dualism in the context of mimes...
Comparison of histograms of oriented optical flow based action recognition methods Erciş, Fırat; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) In the task of human action recognition in uncontrolled video, motion features are used widely in order to achieve subject and appearence invariance. We implemented 3 Histograms of Oriented Optical Flow based method which have a common motion feature extraction phase. We compute an optical flow field over each frame of the video. Then those flow vectors are histogrammed due to angle values to represent each frame with a histogram. In order to capture local motions, The bounding box of the subject is divided...
Studying mind perception in social robotics implicitly: The need for validation and norming Pekçetin, Tuǧçe Nur; Barinal, Badel; Tunç, Jana; Acartürk, Cengiz; Urgen, Burcu A. (2023-03-13) The recent shift towards incorporating implicit measurements into the mind perception studies in social robotics has come along with its promises and challenges. The implicit tasks can go beyond the limited scope of the explicit tasks and increase the robustness of empirical investigations in human-robot interaction (HRI). However, designing valid and reliable implicit tasks requires norming and validating all stimuli to ensure no confounding factors interfere with the experimental manipulations. We conduct...
