© 2022 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.The general tendency of most socio-spatial research is to separate the theory of lived space from everyday realities. On the contrary, this article aims to connect urban design and everyday life sociology. It follows a spatial ethnography method with data collected during two-year fieldwork in Yüksel Street, a central public space in Ankara, Turkey. As such, the article contains three lines of discussion: locality, everyday life and spatiality. Locality identifies Turkish cities in a fashion that renders vague the formal/informal and the South/North divides. Everyday life refers to the social activities and their physical imprints. Spatiality helps identify these local spatial characteristics as emergent design values by users. Based on the results, the study discusses a new terminology beyond informality capable of studying urban streets as spaces accommodating spontaneity and diversity.

THE ONTOLOGY OF CAPITAL: ON THE SHARED METHODOLOGICAL LIMITS OF MODERNIZATION THEORY AND ITS CRITICS Mücen, Barış (2018-06-01) This article argues that critical scholarship in historical studies has not overcome the methodological limits of modernization theory for failing to question the ontological principles that construct its object of analysis. I call these principles the ontology of capital and explicate them through Bourdieu's conceptualization of the field and capital. I argue that this ontology is established according to a distribution model in which social entities come into the analysis with the amount and value of the ...
THE IMPLICATIONS OF BIG DATA ON SUBJECTIVITY: A CASE STUDY OF CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA Şinşek, Muhammed Yasin; Bahçecik, Şerif Onur; Department of International Relations (2022-1) This thesis analyzes the implications of big data on subjectivity with a genealogical approach through the case of Cambridge Analytica. The changes in the epistemology, episteme, rationalities and the regimes of truth as a result of data pervasion are discussed. The statistics and the cybernetics as the antecedents of data politics are reviewed and data politics as a new mode of power is put forward. The targets, the objectives, the technologies and the rationalities of this new mode of power are analyzed. ...
Kaygı, Korku ve Arzu Üçgeninde Fantazi Yılmaz, Olcay (ODTÜ- AYNA Klinik Psikoloji Destek Ünitesi, 2021-10) Bu yazıda Sigmund Freud’un kuramında kilit bir öneme sahip olan ve daha sonraları Jacques Lacan tarafından derinlemesine incelenen fantazi kavramı irdelenmektedir. Freud’da fantezi kavramının ortaya çıkışı rüyalar, gündüz düşleri, baştan çıkarma kuramı, sahte anı gibi olgularla ilişkiliyken, Lacan’da fantazi kavramı daha çok kaygı, korku, arzu ve fobi ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Bu kavramların yanı sıra fantazi, Lacan’ın Öteki kavramı ile de doğrudan ilişkilidir. Fantazi kavramının farklı anlamlarda kullanılm...
The impact of hard data uncertainty in reservoirs modelling Fadlelmula, M.m.; Akın, Serhat; Duzgun, H.s. (null; 2017-01-01) Predicting and estimating real world conditions presents one of the major ways in which uncertainty is introduced to reservoir modelling, with errors often occurring due to the scarcity of subsurface geological information. The inherently random nature of physical phenomena is another source of uncertainty. While uncertainty due to physical phenomena cannot be reduced - because it is a state of nature - developing more accurate models and collecting additional data can help decrease estimation uncertainty. ...
The Mediterranean and eastern enlargement of the European Union: a comparative study on the evolving EU acquis communautaire / Kimençe, Duygu; Kahraman, Sevilay; Department of International Relations (2014) The main focus of this thesis is analyzing the Mediterranean enlargement and the Eastern enlargement of the European Union by utilizing Frank Schimmelfennig's rhetorical entrapment theory. The admission of Greece to the Community in 1981 on political grounds which aimed to support the country's transition to democracy after the regime of the Colonels between 1967-1974 and the Community's own efforts in the same era to transform the integration project into a noble enterprise based on rights and values had s...
