Time-Space and Politics in Understanding of Jacques Ranciere

2021-10
Çokşen, Sibel
This study aims to analyze the relationship between politics and the configuration of time-space in Jacques Ranciere’s understanding. In Ranciere’s approach to politics, there is a different spatial and temporal perspective that has a direct impact on emancipation and equality. Time and space play an important role in political action. Therefore, political formulations are related to spatio-temporal constructions and theorizations. This dissertation is conducted to show that an emancipative political praxis is associated with subversion of meanings and structures of time and space in the form of “now and here”. By focusing on primary and secondary readings, I try to demonstrate that Rancierian politics provides new possibilities for temporality and spatiality.

Empowering Critical International Theory by Applying Action Research Methodology to its Inquiry
Kurtbağ, Ömer (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2011-4)
This paper analyzes the influence and relevance of Gramscian and Habermasian critical international theories within the context of recent developments in the world politics that do not function in favour of these discourses’ emancipatory objectives and projections. It first looks at their emergence as alternative paradigms to the traditional conceptualizations in the discipline of IR and then compares the roots of their theoretical positions and their contribution to the analysis of international politics. ...

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...
On output independence and complementariness in rank-based multiple classifier decision systems
Saranlı, Afşar (Elsevier BV, 2001-12-01)
This study presents a theoretical analysis of output independence and complementariness between classifiers in a rank-based multiple classifier decision system in the context of the partitioned observation space theory. To enable such an analysis, an information theoretic interpretation of a rank-based multiple classifier system is developed and basic concepts from information theory are applied to develop measures for output independence and complementariness. It is shown that output independence of classi...
Bringing Critical Political Economy Back In: Neoliberal State Transformations and the Anthropology of the State
Bodırsky, Katharına(2016-12-31)
The objective of the proposed study is to develop a critical political economic approach within the anthropology of the state, an approach that combines the respective strengths of critical political economy and anthropology: a systemic perspective on the role of the state in reproducing unequal social orders with an ethnographic sensibility for global differences and local complexities. The emphasis in the first part of the study in 2016 will be on developing a framework for the study of 1) uneven geograph...
