Deleuze and contemporary dystopia Çokay Nebioğlu, Rahime; Korkut Naykı, Nil; Department of English Literature (2018) The turn of the new millennium has seen the rise of late capitalism and witnessed a radical change in the structure of the contemporary world, which initiated a new social formation that is seemingly more flexible and liberating yet indeed more controlling. This dissertation looks at contemporary dystopia in the light of these recent changes, arguing that there is now a new moment in the history of dystopia. This new moment suggests that, just like the contemporary world itself, contemporary dystopia has gr...
Adorno’s conception of autonomous art in light of Kant’s and Hegel’s philosophies İnceefe, İlay; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2018) In this thesis I tried to to analyze Adorno’s conception of autonomous art through his conception of “truth content”. Within the aesthetic debates in the Frankfurt School, Adorno uses the conception of “autonomy in art/autonomous work of art” as opposed to “politically committed art”, which is defended by Benjamin and Brecht. However, while his understanding of autonomous work of art seems to defend the elitist understanding of art, this study aims to show that Adorno’s conception of “autonomy” or “truth co...
Deleuze's struggle against transcendence and criticisims about it Tıbık, Kamuran; Ceylan, Yasin; Department of Philosophy (2006) In this study, I first studied the undecidability of transcendence and immanence. Then, I studied the demarcation problem between transcendence and immanence with its results in philosophy. Thirdly, I touched on the idea of the death of philosophy in relation to this demarcation problem. Fourthly, I tried to present Deleuze's dualist approach to concepts and I also studied Hume's effect on the emergence of this dualist approach. As the fıfth, I tried to relate the demarcation problem to ethics, concepts and...
Arendt and Marx on the relation between labor and freedom / Uğur, Mesude; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2014) The aim of this study is to examine the relation between labor and freedom in the philosophy of Arendt which is in contrast to the relation between labor and freedom in the philosophy of Marx. My first motivation for comparing the relation between labor and freedom in the philosophies of Arendt and Marx is to understand whether labor is a form of slavery or freedom. And secondly, I try to understand whether Arendt’s conception of freedom which opposes freedom to labor, thereby excluding the relation between...
Lloyd George and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire Çilingir, Sedat; Karal Akgün, Seçil; Department of History (2007) David Lloyd George, who was the Prime Minister during the period of 1916-1922, served in the British Parliament almost half-century. This thesis focuses on his foreign policy concerning the Ottoman Empire during his Premiership. Lloyd George intruded himself into almost every aspect of the ‘Turkish Question’ during and after the World War I, and was at the ‘centre’ in determining the fate of the Ottoman Empire. Although, the effect of ‘forces’ of economics and social elements have replaced the ‘Great Man’ t...
