New Philosophies of Love and Sex (2017) offers some fresh perspective on the philosophy of desire broadly construed. It complies exciting new scholarship on issues varying from polyamory to the intimate life of intersex individuals, from Ancient Greek practices of love to the history of medicalization of female sexuality. In so doing, the volume traces a non-linear narrative: it is both classical and contemporary, and I would argue, at once timeless and timely. As a critic on this invited book panel, my discussion will center around this very tension between timeliness and timelessness with regards to the philosophy of desire. Are we to assume a historicist position on desire? What historical lineages are included and what historical lineages are excluded in this narrative? How does one look at the history of desire from being particularly situated in the present? I will argue that the volume negotiates this tension skillfully and while the selection of essays are contemporarily relevant, they also resonate well beyond their intended particularity.

Literary de-construction of identity categories: a reading of the queer crossings in Jeanette Winterson‘s fiction from a Butlerian perspective of parodic contest
Shojaei, Mahsasadat; Karademir, Aret; Birlik, Nurten; Department of Gender and Women's Studies (2017)
This thesis aims at re-reading the selected texts of Jeanette Winterson with a Butlerian approach to identity which brings to light the complexities of sex, gender, and desire, as well as the ambivalence of agency and subversion which are often neglected in the academic reception of these texts. With a focus on the de-constructive deployment of parody in these texts, I will explore the "subversive confusions" in Written on the Body, Sexing the Cherry, and The Passion and the way these confusions trouble the...
Thinking without the subject: Nietzsche‘s critique of Cartesian and Kantian subjectivity
İlbaşı, Kıvılcım; Çırakman, Elif; Department of Philosophy (2015)
In this M.A. thesis, I investigate Nietzsche‘s critique of subjectivity with regard to the subject-thought relationship as has been conceptualised in modern philosophy. Firstly, I attempt to elucidate the constitution of the subject and the modern image of thinking by focusing on the ideas of two major figures of modernity, namely, Descartes and Kant. Then, I problematize the concept of the subject with respect to Nietzsche‘s genealogical critique, and try to show that the subjectivist interpretation of the...
Epic gaze in Paradise Lost
Demirel, Fatih; Sönmez, Margaret Jeanne M.; Department of English Literature (2021-2-01)
This study aims to investigate the workings of gaze in John Milton’s Paradise Lost with regard to Helen Lovatt’s book on epic gaze and the theoretical insights of three important writers on gaze: Sartre, Foucault and Lacan. The study focusses on four main characters of the epic: Satan, God, Adam and Eve. Lovatt’s epic gaze proves to be an appropriate starting point for this study, while the other named theorists’ ideas are employed more or less for different characters and for different scenes. Sartre’s not...
The Relationship between intimacy and passion: gender, relationship length, physical attractiveness as moderators
Aykutoğlu, Bülent; Uysal, Ahmet; Department of Psychology (2015)
The aim of this study is to examine the the relationship between intimacy and passion in close relationships with respect to the passion model suggesting that changes in intimacy predicts passion (Baumeister & Bratslavsky, 1999). Gender, relationship length, physical attractiveness are expected to have a moderator effect on the relationship between intimacy and passion. Apart from actor's intimacy, partner's intimacy is expected to have an effect on actor's passion. For this aim, a diary study was conducted...
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SELF-COMPASSION, MASCULINE GENDER ROLE STRESS AND ATTITUDES TOWARD PSYCHOLOGICAL INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
Karataş, Derya; Sakallı, Nuray; Department of Psychology (2021-9)
The aim of this dissertation is to explore the relationships between men’s self-compassion, masculine gender role stress (MGRS), and attitudes toward psychological violence against women (APVAW) in intimate relationships. Psychological intimate partner violence is the most common form of violence that women suffer from. Besides, studying attitudes is crucial to understand the motivations of perpetrators. There are many factors that are related with positive APVAW. However, self-compassion, which is a new co...
