This thesis is a critique of the presupposition of the subject-object dichotomy that is prevalent in the methodologies of art theories. It conducts its critique by utilizing Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of habitus in the analysis of its empirical data. The empirical data that this thesis presents consists of the interviews with Ankara musicians. Through the analysis of these interviews, the thesis demonstrates that art theories relying on the subject-object dichotomy fall short in explaining the empirical variety that this thesis presents. By utilizing the notion of habitus in the analysis of its empirical data, this thesis aims to provide a relational grasp of the situation of Ankara musicians.

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...
The visual formation of cartesian subject in modern metaphysics : a critique of Cogito philosophy Ganioğlu, Zafer; Akçay, Ali Adnan; Department of Sociology (2006) This thesis scrutinizes modern metaphysics through a specific reading and critique of Cartesian Philosophy. In the study, the concepts of metaphysics, ideology, modernity, subject and modern science are re-examined in their relations among them and in that the peculiarity of modern metaphysics is attempted to be revealed. At the core of the thesis, Descartes’ understanding of subject is inquired to be modern subject, and its role in the transformations happened in Western world with the advent of modern age...
Heidegger's thinking of earth in "the origin of the work of art" : the self-withdrawal of being and the other beginning Genç, Alişan; Rehberg, Andrea; Department of Philosophy (2012) This thesis aims to explicate the claim that in Heidegger's thinking technē as art emerges as capable of disclosing the fundamental movement of being, namely self-withdrawal, through a certain elaboration of earth. To this end it will be argued that the elaboration of earth in the artwork is what makes it possible for art to aid in the process of the overcoming of Western metaphysics. In connection with this I will attempt to show how technē has a determinant role in the course of Western metaphysics, which...
The Relation between metaphysics and art in Nietzsche’s philosophy Karahan Balya, Gülizar; Parkan, Barış; Department of Philosophy (2015) The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the significance and relative positions of two central themes in Nietzsche’s philosophy, namely metaphysics and art. The perspective of life and the thought of will to power are located at the core of this investigation since they are considered to function as the organising ideas in Nietzsche’s overall philosophy. This perspective and thought require existence to be viewed as groundless and excessive and particularly as a constant flux of becoming that is ...
Socio-Spatial Politics of Otherness: The Desire to Construct a Counterhegemony Yoltay, Ece (2019-03-01) This study is based on an empirical research to understand the production of nongovernmental spatial practices and representations with a counterformation to an authority, as well as an ontological discussion on the relations between public space and power. In this respect, the study is constructed on an alternative spatial reading of counterspaces (LGBTI-friendly spaces, political spaces, and resistance spaces) in the capital of Turkey, Ankara, benefiting from Henri Lefebvre’s theory on the production of s...
