This thesis examines Turkey's film distribution sector, which directly affects the demand of the audience. In this context, answers to how and why questions about the functioning of the film distribution market. This thesis, which aims to answer how the sector works through the market structure, reveals why the sector works like this through the analysis of cinema policies. In this context, the thesis aims to reveal the current structural problems of the film distribution market, which can also be seen as a repercussion of various state policies and regulations. This thesis, which claims that cinema policies are shaped according to the interest groups in the cinema industry and that these policies reproduce the structure of the industry, asks the question of how the state-cinema relationship evolved in the context of changing cinema policies in between 2005-2019. The answer to this question is to be sought through the analysis of the film distribution sector. This sector has been analyzed in the framework of the concepts of concentration, ownership, and state intervention. The correct audience preference is examined from the existent market structure. Because demand regulation mechanisms operated by film distributors shape the audience demand. In other words, the main extension of the power relations established by the distribution process in a capitalist social formation can be found in the demand regulation mechanism where the motion pictures can be circulated or prevented.

Social change in Turkey: an analysis through selected films Coşkun, Çiçek; Şen, Mustafa; Department of Sociology (2014) This study aims to contribute to the research literature through the comparative examination of selected field studies and cinema films on social change in Turkey between 1950 and 1980. The study derives from the argument that it is possible to develop an alternative/contribution to the current research methods through the use of visual sources by means of the suggestions of the ‘sociological imagination’ and ‘sociology of affect’. Depending on sociological imagination and sociology of affects, it is claime...

Türkiye'de Yenilikçiliğe 'Bütüncül Ekonomik' Yaklaşım : Ekonomi-politik ve Kültürel Değerler Çakmakçı, Ufuk M. (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2009) Bu makalede, kapitalizmin en kritik ve zorlu süreçlerinden birisi olan yenilikçilik konusunda Türk girişimciliğinin sığlığı devlet, ekonomi ve toplumu kapsayan ‘bütüncül bir ekonomik’ bakış açısı ile irdelenmeye çalışılıyor. Bu noktada Türk devletinin kalkınmacı kapasitesinin sınırları çizilirken, Türk girişim geleneğinin de bütünlüğün gerektirdiği açılımların aksine sığ bir şekilde salt kendi çıkarlarına odaklandığı belirtiliyor. Tarihsel açıdan bakıldığında ne devlet düzenlemelerinin ne de kültürel değerl...
Internal migration, redistributive policies and income distribution in Turkey: an intertemporal CGE analysis Yakut, Aykut Mert; Taymaz, Erol; Department of Economics (2016) This thesis focuses on the effects of the public policies on the size distribution of income in Turkey. To this end, an intertemporal computable general equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents in a small open economy framework is constructed. This study serves several extensions to the literature with its algebraic structure and calibration process in which various micro-level data sets have been utilized extensively. The results reveal that, in line with the previous findings of the literature, increas...
