By means of Vivian Sobchack's semiotic film phenomenology, we may examine our immediate perceptual acts in film experience in order to determine the ways that the primordial language of embodied existence found at this primary level grounds the secondary level of the more explicit interpretations we give to the film's elements. Although Gilles Deleuze is openly defiant toward the phenomenological tradition, his studies of film experience can serve this purpose as well, because he is interested in the direct and pre-verbal significance of cinematic images. To bring his observations more fruitfully into film phenomenological studies, I will examine his notion of the discordantly operating body and off er a phenomenological interpretation for his notion of cinematic signs. I then apply this Deleuzian semiotic film phenomenology to his analysis of deep focus cinematography in Orson Welles' Citizen Kane (1941). When watching one particular scene, different layers of our film experience, namely, those of visual and of temporal depth, collide in such a way that they provide the phenomenal basis for us to produce a temporal interpretation of the spatial relations held between the displayed images.

Tiyatro İzleyicisinin Akış Deneyimi: Duygudurumların Çeşitliliği, Yoğunluğu ve Değerliği Hipotezlerinin Sınanması DEMİRUTKU, Kürşad; AĞAOĞLU, Derya (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2018-10-22) Bu çalışmanın amacı tiyatro izleyicisinin akış ve ilişkili duygudurum deneyimlerini incelemektir. İlgili alanyazından hareketle oyun sırasındaki akış deneyiminin daha çeşitli, daha yoğun ve daha olumlu duygu deneyimiyle ilişkili olacağı hipotezleri önerilmiştir. Ankara’daki özel bir tiyatroda Gideon’un Düğümü adlı tiyatro oyununu izlemeye gelen 146 gönüllü katılımcıya oyunun hemen bitiminde bu araştırmaya özel tasarlanan ölçekler uygulanmıştır. Bulgular, izleyicilerin tiyatro oyunu sırasında yüksek düzeyde ...
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...
MERLEAU-PONTIAN CONCEPTS IN THE POSTDRAMATIC PLAYS OF SARAH KANE Bozdağ, Berna; Sönmez, Margaret Jeanne M.; Department of English Literature (2022-6-10) In this thesis, it is asserted that form and content of Sarah Kane’s plays 4.48 Psychosis and Crave are complementary, reflecting the inner states of their characters, and that this complementarity manifests and is manifested by postdramatic elements. As evidence, and to analyze how the plays are constructed in this way, the plays are examined with reference to three essential Merleau-Pontian concepts, synesthesia, being-in-the-world, embodiment and with reference to postdramatic elements. The thesis ...
Improving urban facades as an intervention into the built environment the case of façade improvement application along the protocol highway of Ankara, a route from Aydinlikevler district to Esenboğa Airport Torabi, Elnaz; Barlas, Mehmet Adnan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2009) When human constructs the physical surrounding, a psychological environment of meanings is being created, accompanying the world of shapes and masses. Interventions into built environment affect the meanings extracted from the composition of the physical setting and the response of people to design strategies reveals the importance of them. The entrance spine of a city is important in creating an image of the city in the minds of the observers, and the protocol highway of Ankara introduces the city to other...
Physicalism and the phenomenal-physical gap : can a posteriori necessary physicalism adequately respond to the problem of phenomenal subjecthood? Arıcı, Murat; Sayan, Erdinç; Department of Philosophy (2011) Phenomenal consciousness presents a recalcitrant problem for the scientific conception of the world and the physicalist thesis that claims that everything that exists (including whatever is involved in any mental phenomena) is physical and physically explainable. Thus, on this view, every truth is a physical truth. By Putnam-Kripkean considerations and for several other reasons, I defend the claim that any version of such a physicalist thesis must be a necessary thesis, which ultimately means that contingen...
