Hegemonic exercises are intertwined in everyday life by overt and/or latent forms. Everyday practices in capitalist urban space organizations, which are materialized by pleasure or overwhelming, inherently produce and are products of an understanding of space, power, and class relations. Along with the ambiguity and complexity of everyday life, urban inhabitants own temporally and spatially reproduced political apprehensions by which they manufacture consent or produce dissent for the dominant ruling orders in which capital interests employ. In this sense, this study questions the dynamics of hegemonic exercises (re)produced through urban space, which spans in different contexts and multi-scales, realized by variegated and articulated ways of intended and unintended means. Grounding upon a Gramscian and Lefebvrian theoretical framework, it is focussed on how hegemony is exercised by the production of space, and it draws out a new conceptual framework based on spatial forms, processes, and relations. This work alleges two intrinsically related genres of spatial exercise of hegemony, as delineated by i) hegemony exercised through relations and processes related to space and ii) hegemony exercised through spatial forms and processes. Seeking to v display a broad range of means of the spatial exercises of hegemony in Turkey for the recent period, this study makes exploratory research by carrying out qualitative research ways via embracing an overall documentary survey and an ethnographic field work attempt held in Ankara. The objective is to enhance conceptual insights aiming to understand hegemonic exercises by major, express methodological possibilities and limitations, and put forward possible research issues.

An investigation of adaptive and maladaptive dimensions of perfectionism in relation to adult attachment and big five personality traits
Ulu, İnci Pınar; Tezer, Esin; Department of Educational Sciences (2007)
The present study investigated the role of anxiety and avoidance dimensions of attachment and big five personality traits in adaptive and maladaptive dimensions of perfectionism. A pilot study was carried out with 408 (260 males and 148 females) preparatory school students of Middle East Technical University (METU) for the adaptation studies of Almost Perfect Scale-Revised (APS-R). The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses yielded a 21 item scale with three factors; Standards, Discrepa...
An outline of a unified theory of the relational self: grounding the self in the manifold of interpersonal relations
Davoody Benı, Majıd (2019-07-01)
The paper outlines a structuralist unification between two existing relational theories of the self, i.e., Beni's Structural Realist theory of the Self (SRS) and Gallese's Embodied Relational Self (ERS). Each one of these theories provides a structuralist account of some aspects of the self but leaves out some other aspects which are indispensable to a comprehensive account of the self. SRS accounts for the reflective aspects of the self, and ERS accounts for the environmental and social aspects of the self...
A Gothic Ecocritical Analysis of Bram Stoker’s Dracula
Ağın, Başak (2015-12-01)
This article extends the term “gothic ecocriticism” to encompass the study of literary texts as part of the task of bridging the great divide between the theoretical and practical dimensions of environmental thought. It illustrates an ecocritical reading of Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897), by especially focusing on its ecophobic configuration of nature and animals, as oppositional forces to the human domain. After setting a theoretical and contextual framework by explaining the origins of gothic ecocriticism a...
