Constructing local masculinities : a case study from Trabzon, Turkey
Bozok, Mehmet; Beşpınar Akgüner, Fatma Umut; Department of Sociology (2012)
This thesis investigates the social construction of masculinities in Trabzon, with a (pro)feminist approach. This study is based on the assumption that masculinities are socially and contextually constructed grounding on the local dynamics. In order to examine that, I identified and focused on three trajectories in Trabzon that have largely affected the social construction of masculinities in the last two decades. Those are the men’s emotional and sexual lives, men’s families and the domestic lives and righ...
Constructing the present over the past: the case of Bergama /
Kaya, Mihriban; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2014)
Towns continuously need a controlled change and development so that they can sustain their existence in future. Changes in towns and conservation of traces of the past are also part of this process and there must be a balance between them. Each new intervention, which is conscious of the past of the town, preserves its underground and over ground heritage and contributes to the enrichment of the contemporary town. However, some interventions do not conserve traces of the past and are not in harmony with urb...
Constructing the Albanian Nation through Discourse Continuity and Change in Three Periods in Modern History of Albania
Sulstarova, Enis; Köksal, Pınar (2008-01-01)
This article analyzes the continuity and change in the nationalist discourse in Albania during the three periods of its modern history, National Awakening (1878-1912), Communism (1944-1990), and Post-Communism (1990-2002) by looking at the three basic approaches of the literature on ethnic studies: primordialism, circumstantialism, and constructionism. We aim to show how the actors of nationalist discourse construct a 'primordial' Albanian identity in different, yet somehow consistent ways over these three ...

Explaining cold peace in the Middle East: the cases of Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli peace processes
Sütalan, Zeynep; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of International Relations (2015)
This thesis analyzes the Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli peace processes in terms of peace-making, the nature of the peace treaties, and peace-sustaining from the Arab perspective. These peace processes have not gone much further than ‘cold peace’ dashing the hopes for a ‘real peace’ in the region. This thesis argues that the ‘cold peace’ phenomenon evident in the cases of Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli peace processes is the reflection of the autonomy of the state since the authoritarian sta...
