Urban Middle Class, Lifestyle And Taste In Kecioren And Cankaya, Ankara: Distinction Through Home Furniture, Furnishing And DecorationArslan, Zerrin 01 September 2011 (has links) (PDF)
This dissertation aims to scrutinize the fractions of the Turkish middle class, based on
Bourdieu&rsquo / s theory of social, cultural, economic capitals and habitus. Distinction among the
fractions was identified through lifestyles and tastes via home furnishing and decoration.
A quantitative field research was conducted in two towns of Ankara, the capital city of Turkey,
namely Keç / iö / ren and Ç / ankaya, and the data was collected by applying a detailed questionnaire
on a sample that is not representative. The data was analysed with SPSS. The outcomes of factor
and multiple correspondence analyses were formulated as four fractions of the Turkish middle
class: Lower/bitter, Middle/resentful, Upper/contemptuous, and Well-off/happy middle class.
The structural and material conditions, social-psychological utterances of the respondents and
interviewees, survey results, field notes and observations as well as insights collected from
furniture/decoration magazines provided the basis for defining and naming these subcategories.
This categorization is an important step for further studies of lifestyles and tastes of the fractions.
Lifestyles were defined as everyday habits/routines/activities, and tastes as
selections/arrangements of furniture/accessories of everyday life objects. The finding of the
dissertation is that the middle class(es) in Ankara is stratified within itself and these fractions
have different lifestyles and tastes of their own: The well-off/happy fraction has an &lsquo / outgoing&rsquo / lifestyle, and &lsquo / legitimate/highbrow taste&rsquo / the upper/contemptuous fraction has a &lsquo / shopping mallcentred&rsquo / lifestyle, and &lsquo / middlebrow taste&rsquo / the middle/resentful fraction has an &lsquo / emulationcentred&rsquo / lifestyle and &lsquo / popular taste&rsquo / finally, the lower/bitter fraction has a &lsquo / &lsquo / stuck to home,
family and neighbors&rsquo / lifestyle and &lsquo / taste of necessity&rsquo / .

Marginalized Or Empowered? Conflict-induced Internally Displaced Kurdish Women' / s Experiences In TurkeyKuloglu Karsli, Ceyda 01 June 2012 (has links) (PDF)
This study is focusing on the conflict-induced internally displaced Kurdish women&rsquo / s experiences. There has been an ongoing internal armed conflict in Turkey since 1984 and one of the consequences of this conflict is the internal displacement that occured in 1990s. In the displacement process, women and other family members were victimized. They did not only loose their homelands, but they also had to struggle in the city centers with poverty and discrimination.
After they started to live in the city centers, women may become both marginalized and empowered. The aim of the study is to understand the situations that lead Kurdish women to be marginalized and/or empowered in the cities to which they have been forced to migrate. After the displacement process, which is one of the major victimization processes for these women, some of them may be trapped in ethnic and gender-based discrimination and may become more marginalized in the city centers. But marginalization and empowerment are not fixed categories and there is always a possibility for these women to transform their marginalized position into empowerment. By political engagement, working outside house and/or being head of the househod these women may break the cycle of their marginalization and becomes empowered in the city centers.

Marketing Demographics, Advertising Semiotics: The Case Of Aksam NewspaperBakan, Munevver Asli 01 December 2003 (has links) (PDF)
The main aim of this thesis is to discuss conflicting opinions about the existence,
targets and the system of advertising and to examine its effects on purchasing
behaviors. Another important aim of the study is to demonstrate that advertising is an
important but not the sole factor which increases the sales of a product. The study
focuses on the relationship between the capitalist industry and consumers& / #8217 / purchasing
decisions. It discusses the effects of marketing strategies on consumer behaviors and
purchasing preferences. The interaction between the symbolic representations of
commodities& / #8217 / brand names and consumption decisions are evaluated and the basic
arguments of critics and advertisers about the system of advertising are discussed. In
addition, variables other than advertising that influence consumer behaviors are examined and the importance of advertising in modern marketing is presented. To
understand the messages in today& / #8217 / s advertisements deeply, semiology as one of the
most important methodologies of decoding advertisements, the basic advertising
formats and the language of advertising are evaluated. The question of how meaning
is reconstituted both by advertisers and the viewers of messages is discussed. The
study also entails a case study in which AkSam& / #8217 / s re-launch advertising campaign is
evaluated. AkSam& / #8217 / s brand and image perception before and after the advertising
campaign is examined. After this evaluation, the success of an advertising campaign
in accordance with its advertising strategy is discussed.

A Sociological Study Of Working Urban Poor In Istanbul And GaziantepAcikalin, Neriman 01 August 2004 (has links) (PDF)
ABSTRACT
A SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY OF WORKING URBAN POOR
IN ISTANBUL AND GAZiANTEP

In this study, the aim is to find some indications about urban poverty in Turkey, which recently became a major topic in sociological studies. In order to study this topic, the thesis focuses on working urban poor to be able to examine the effects of the changing labor market. Urban poverty in general, and more specifically the working urban poor, are analysed in three levels, namely macro, mezzo and micro. In the macro level, the effects of great transformations after the 1980&rsquo / s and the new international division of labor, on the emergence of new urban poor is discussed. In the mezzo level, &ldquo / Structural Adjusment Policies&rdquo / as one of the significant impacts of this transformation, which mostly have affected the underdeveleped countries like Turkey is understood. The thesis, however, will mostly focus on the micro aspects of poverty. In the micro level, family and kinship reciprocal relations and mutual ties of solidarity / values and customs about social and economic life / survival strategies / the effects of culture of poverty / and factors of disempowerment are examined. Furthermore, the starting definitions of the urban poor are based on Peter Lloyd&rsquo / s study, which was carried out in Peru.
In this context, a field study was carried out in Istanbul and Gaziantep to find out some indications to understand the regional differences of the working urban poor in Turkey. Turkey has also been affected by the conjunctural changes in the world and a new urban poor has been also emerging. In terms of regional differences of working urban poor istanbul labor market reflects the effects of new international division of labour and the structural adjustment policies more than Gaziantep. istanbul has an urban labour market which mainly performs as the periphery of international capital. Urban labour market in Gaziantep however, includes rural and local elements of causal labour as well, besides its links to the new international division of labour. In the micro level, istanbul working urban poor represent more western and urban values, more literacy and higher level of education and more positive attributes to the role of education, better working conditions of casual labour, more feelings of isolation but also more hopeful for future prospects and more motivated for initiating coping mechanisms. On the other hand, Gaziantep working urban poor represent a very complicated and multi-step migration process compared to istanbul migrants and migrant women in Gaziantep tend to work more in pieceworking jobs due to agro-industry. Hence, the thesis argues that to designate urban poverty and more specifically working urban poor in Turkey, regional, cultural factors and dynamics of migration are significant.

Gradient Characteristics Of The Unaccusative/unergative Distinction In Turkish: An Experimental InvestigationCengiz, Acarturk 01 January 2005 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis investigates the gradient behaviour of monadic intransitive verb classes in Turkish, under an aspectual classification of the unaccusative/unergative verb types, namely The Split Intransitivity Hierarchy. This Hierarchy claims that intransitive verb types are subject to gradient acceptability in certain syntactic constructions. The methods used in judgment elicitation studies in psychophysics, such as the magnitude estimation technique have recently been adapted to be used in capturing gradient linguistic data. Also, the practical benefits of the Internet directed researchers to design and conduct web-based experiments for linguistic data elicitation. Research on Human Computer Interaction offers suggestions for the design of more usable user interfaces. Considering these developments, in this thesis, a web based experiment interface has been designed as an extension to the magnitude estimation technique to elicit acceptability judgments on two syntactic constructions, i.e. the -mIS participle (the unaccusative diagnostic) and impersonal passivization (the unergative diagnostic) for different verb types on the Split Intransitivity Hierarchy. The experiment was conducted on the Internet.
The results show that in the two diagnostics, the verb types receive categorical or indeterminate acceptability judgments, which allows us to specify the core or peripheral status of the verbs. Within the classes we have examined, change of state verbs constitute the core unaccusative verbs, and controlled (motional and non-motional) process verbs constitute the core unergative verbs. Stative verbs and uncontrolled process verbs are peripheral unaccusatives and unergatives, respectively. Change of location verbs (with an animate subject) are close to the unergative end.

Transnationalism: A New Theoretical Frame And A New Analytical Tool In International Migration StudiesZirh, Besim Can 01 December 2005 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis analyses the concept of transnationalism as a newly emerging approach in the field of international migration. This study aimed to try to understand the context of the emergence of this new approach in relation with changing global context. Additionally, this study also aimed to analyse functions of the concept of transnationalism as a new theoretical frame and a new analytical tool to generate an appropriate research agenda in order to study contemporary migratory phenomena.
This study has concluded that the concept of transnationalism can generate an appropriate approach and research agenda to understand contemporary migratory phenomena. In spite of the fact that transnationalism is not a well-established approach, transnational practices and relations of migrant communities in specific and contemporary migratory phenomena in general can be studied in the frame of this new concept.

O processo de transcrição da parte da harpa para violão de sete cordas do concerto em dó maior K299 para flauta, harpa e orquestra de W.A. MozartDalla Costa, Fábio Cirilo Santos January 2010 (has links)
Este trabalho trata do processo de transcrição do Concerto em Dó Maior K 299 para Flauta e Harpa de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. O objetivo geral foi a transcrição da parte da harpa do concerto para violão de sete cordas. Por meio da análise comparativa de transcrições do próprio compositor do concerto e do estudo de referencial teórico, foram classificados os procedimentos necessários para a realização da transcrição, que são: compressão de registro, supressão de notas, mudança na disposição de notas, e transferência da parte da harpa para a orquestra. Esses procedimentos vão diretamente ao encontro da adaptação idiomática e musical ao instrumento para o qual verte a transcrição, e à fidelidade ao original da obra. Concluiu-se, por fim, que a transcrição de uma obra, deve se embasar em uma metodologia aplicada, que defina as diretrizes do processo e adapte a linha composicional do original às escolhas pessoais do transcritor. / The present work deals with the Concerto in C Major for Flute and Harp K299 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The main objective was the transcription of the Harp part of the concerto for a seven-string guitar. Through comparative analysis of transcriptions made by the composer himself, along with further reading, the necessary procedures to accomplish this transcription were identified and classified. They are: range compression, suppression of notes, change in the disposition of notes and the transference of accompaniment material from the harp part to the orchestra. Such procedures agree with an idiomatic and musical adaptation for the target instrument, while remaining accurate to the original work. It was concluded that the transcription of a work must be based on an applied methodology that define the guidelines and adapt the original compositional idiom to the personal choices of the transcriber.
