This thesis analyzes five selected memoirs by Iranian women written after the Iranian Revolution of 1979 within the framework of the pre and post Revolution Period. These memoirs are thought as constituting a shift within the Iranian Literature by women. The memoir writing tradition in Iran which was absent before the revolution and boomed afterwards is the first topic of discussion with its catalysing factors. These memoirs are handled within the larger framework of Iranian literary tradition. The study mainly analyses the common characteristics and issues in these five memoirs, and the changes in the women&rsquo / s lives after the revolution as depicted within the memoirs.

This thesis aims at presenting the historical panorama of the early Kurdish cultural activities in Anatolia which began to rise as a political subject after the First World War but could begin to express its nationalist demands after the foundation of the Republican government. It is claimed in the thesis that Kurdish nationalist identity as a collective body could begun to be formed in the last period of the Ottoman Empire when the Empire was in an inevitable dissolution. This progress in question took its start during the reign of Abdulhamid II, and accelerated during the Committee of Union and Progress period. Especially after the 1908 Constitution, Kurdish intellectuals have begun to create &ldquo / Kurdish&rdquo / publications and cultural institutions seeking to improve the conditions in the regions that the Kurds inhabited. These facts lead us to some questions to begin with and this thesis seeks answers for the following important questions: &ldquo / By considering the awakening of Kurdish nationalist identity, how did the policies centered on the provinces after 1908, influence the Kurdish regions?&rdquo / , &ldquo / What is the response of the Kurdish regions to the new state policies of the period?&rdquo / , &ldquo / Considering the social associations formed by Kurds during the CUP period what were the effects of them on the formation of a new Kurdish identity?&rdquo

In this thesis two &ldquo / western modern state&rdquo / and three Ottoman &ldquo / state tradition&rdquo / scholars (Gianfranco Poggi, Christopher Pierson, Serif Mardin, Metin Heper and &Ccedil / aglar Keyder) are elaborated in the way how they write the the history for their theorization attempts. The specially emphasized processes in these histories are asserted to be reconstructed as the sources of an &ldquo / idealized&rdquo / -type that is assumed to be fulfilled by &ldquo / the West&rdquo / and should also be followed by &ldquo / the rest&rdquo / . The description of this form of a state entails a covert expectation on the requirement of an effective, limited but primarily strong state. Since the mainstream historical knowledge builds the foundations of both our academic studies and daily political arguments, it should be subjected to a critique. And state theory should be rethought with comparative and alternative perspectives. This work does not only trace the histories of political development constituted on &ldquo / modernization revisionist&rdquo / and &ldquo / state traditional&rdquo / theses, it also aims to cast new perspectives for the theorization of state-formation momentums and mechanisms by making a potpourri from some alternative readings of historical theses. As a result some central debates are brought into the picture on the historical transformation of state-society relationships. Along with the attempts for more comprehensive thinking exersizes on the states, theorization does not deal with two separate states or separate narratives of the the history but rather with the experiences thought together and watched through the different forms they takes in each particular historical momentums.

This thesis will attempt to introduce a history of the Dardanelles Jewish community during the early years of the Tanzimat, i.e. between 1839 and 1845. It analyzes the cultural and economic structure of the community and its relations with the Ottoman state in light of developments following the Baltalimani Convention of 1838 and the proclamation of the Tanzimat. This study, based mostly upon Ottoman archival documents, first will touch upon the initial Jewish settlement in the Dardanelles and the demographic composition of the city during the early years of the Tanzimat. Then it will provide information about Jewish communal organization in the Dardanelles, as it will explain the institutions, religious and lay leadership and some cultural aspects of the Jews. Next, it will bring forth, mostly in statistical tables, properties owned by the Dardanelles Jews, as well as occupational divisions among them such as in crafts, trades and agriculture. The study further will examine their economic stratification in comparison with the non-Jewish communities in the Dardanelles, and briefly outlines their commercial and diplomatic relations with the European states. This thesis also will attempt to cover the community&amp / #8217 / s relations with the Ottoman state with respect to Tanzimat reforms and in connection with the foundation of the Grand Rabbinate in 1835, the changes brought to communal administration, and adjustments on taxes paid to the Ottoman state. The fire of 1845 that totally destroyed the Jewish quarter, and its aftermath will be discussed in the last part, thus ending the thesis.

En 1956, le président fraîchement élu, Juscelino Kubitschek, prend la décision de déplacer au centre du pays la capitale fédérale. Construite en une période record, un peu plus de 3 ans, Brasília naît comme une icône de l'architecture moderniste au cœur du stérile "cerrado" brésilien. Cette capitale représente le symbole du mouvement d'intériorisation du pays, de sa modernisation et de son intégration. Symbole de son dynamisme et aussi du désir de la construction d'un nouveau Brésil et d'une identité nationale nouvelle. La capitale se veut alors le reflet des idées politiques et intellectuelles du pays visant sa restructuration et lui donnant un large développement et une justice sociale longtemps attendue. Cette thèse présente les évolutions du pays entre les années 1960 et 2010. Nous avons choisi une analyse basée sur trois axes : géographique-politique, économique et social. L'accent est mis sur une évaluation générale de la situation du pays dans son ensemble au cours des 50 dernières années, de ses changements et de ses permanences. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons examiné l'impact de Brasília dans ce scénario, comme non seulement une conception urbaine symbolique, mais aussi comme une réalité vivante et humaine au long de ces cinquante années. / In 1956, the freshly elected president, Juscelino Kubitschek, took the decision to move the nation's capital from Rio de Janeiro to the center of the country. Constructed in record a little over 3 years, Brasilia was born as an icon of modernist architecture in the heart of the sterile Brazilian "cerrado". This capital represented a symbol of the movement to modernize, to integrate and to re-center the country. The symbol of the country's dynamism and also its desire to construct a new Brazil with a new national identity. Thus reflected in this new capital are more than the political and intellectual ideas of a country but the traces of the country struggle with itself to through restructuration achieve a measure of social justice long awaited. This thesis presents the evolutions of the country between the years 1960 and 2010. We have chosen to adopt an analysis based on three principal axes: geographic-political, economic and social. The accent is placed on a general evaluation of the situation of the country in its whole over the last 50 years, of its changes, and the things that don't. In a second time we have examined the impact of Brasilia in the overall scenario, not only as a symbolic urban conception, but also as a living and human entity over the course of its fifty year history.

The main objective of this thesis is to examine both external and internal dynamics in terms of their preparation for the ways to democratization in Turkey between 1945 and 1950. It was asserted in many academic and nonacademic works that the main influences for democratization of Turkey in this period came from outside as external dynamics. But in this study, it will be argued that while the external dynamics may stimulate different actors for democratization, survival and consolidation of this democratization process requires internal dynamics more than the external ones. In order to check the validity of this argument, the thesis focuses on Turkish democratization period between 1945 and 1950. This historical interval is important / because, although there were some efforts for transition to democratic regime by that time, all those efforts failed due to the unpreparedness of the Turkish rulers, the Turkish people, and also insufficient social, economic and political conditions in the country. Within the five year period between 1945 and 1950, both the internal and the external dynamics which would contribute democratization in Turkey had changed. The new conditions emerging from the WW II and the post war period transformed economic, political, and social structures of the society that changed expectations in the country. All these dynamics playing important roles in the democratization of Turkey will be mentioned in the thesis. The period in the thesis will start with the termination of the WW II and it will end with the general elections held on May 14, 1950.

This thesis interprets the unification process that the Turkish left undertook during the 1990s as a redefinition and re-identification of leftist values according to the recent changes in the economic and political areas in the world. This redefinition process will be investigated by looking at the &Ouml / DP (Freedom and Solidarity Party) case, the main task of which was defined by the founders as the unification of various leftist movements as well as the representation of the new social movements. For this purpose, different theoretical perspectives concerning the new social movements will be read by means of observation of their position in the &Ouml / DP. It will be investigated, to what degree the &Ouml / DP was successful in unifying and including the new social movements. In that sense, this work will emphasize the role of the &Ouml / DP in the history of the Turkish leftist movement.

In following several international migrants in the city of São Paulo, I found that inarticulate moments of hesitation, uncertainty, or suspension punctuated their trajectories. These fleeting and subtle instances revealed that people's lives were pervaded by a certain ‘messiness' that pointed out the limits of understanding life and the world through scientific standards of generalisation and coherence. Requiring a different attitude concerning the making of anthropology, ‘messiness' compelled my ethnographic account to admit that: firstly, people, places and situations, held a ‘mystery' that my efforts of scientific disclosure could never clarify completely; secondly, each attempt to live in the world became a very singular experimentation. In order to ethnographically do justice to the ‘mystery' and ‘singularity' I found in the lives I followed in São Paulo, this account found in Levinas's work inspiration to develop a phenomenological approach. This phenomenological approach combined two movements. The first movement searched for a way of incorporating the faltering occasions of inarticulacy in people's lives through imagination, signalling the limits of understanding these lives through objective knowledge, and proposing to appreciate them through processes of human recognition. This procedure was crafted as a ‘poetics of resonance', an aesthetic operation converting lived experience into written expression in a way that imagination can offer a sense of what it is to live a particular life or experience in its richness. The second movement in this phenomenological approach refers to the recognition of a human life in its singularity, attempting to substantiate it ethnographically in the form of particular ‘life-journeys', which is an approximation to what Levinas described as ‘uniqueness'. As follows, seven specific life-journeys are presented, organised as ‘journeys of being', ‘in-be(ing)tween journeys', and ‘journeys of becoming', according to the elements of affiliation each research participant stressed in their respective course shared with me. From the richness of these ethnographic particulars, insights for migration and urban studies were derived from the phenomenological approach undertaken. The ethnographic evidence questioned a sense of complexity based on categorisation in migration studies and suggested that for the portrayed life-journeys a concept of immensity is more appropriate than a concept of identity. Concerning theories about the urban, the mobility manifested by the life-journeys in São Paulo and beyond conveyed, not a city of ethnic neighbourhoods, but a city of ‘rough' experimentation, according to people's positionality and their ability to find their own ways in the city and in the world.

However, this activity must be studied to prove its effectiveness. So this is the objective of this study, in order to evaluate the structural, productive and nutritional characteristics of these forages, in single or intercropping cultivation. The study was conducted between April and August 2015, in a randomized complete block design, with five treatments, four replicates and three plots subdivided in time. The treatments were: AE - white oat IPR Esmeralda, AP - black oat IAPAR 61, T - forage triticale Tpolo 981, AE (T) - white oat + forage triticale, and AP (T) - black oat + forage triticale. The evaluations occurred at 46, 82 and 119 days post emergence (DPE), representing the three evaluation periods. There was a productive difference (P <0.05) between treatments AP and AE (T) in the last period, at which time all treatments presented decreases in number of live leaves (NFV) and tillers per plant, and rate of appearance and Tiller survival. The consortium favored the increase of the apical meristem and survival of tillers of white oats in the last period, compared to their single use, as well as increasing plant height in the final third, and favored higher NFV of black oat IAPAR 61 in the second period, while reducing population density. The longevity of the forage triticale can be observed in NFV and population density higher than the others at the end of the experiment. All species showed excellent quality, increasing the dry matter (DM) concentration as a function of time, reaching 22.98%. Protein was higher in the treatments AP, AP (T) and T, with averages of 18.46%, 18.80% and 19.93%, respectively. The organic matter did not differ between the means in the treatments, increasing gradually in the time, unlike the total digestible nutrients, that maintained average of 79.69%. The fibrous components (FDNcp and FDAp) presented higher concentrations in AE and AE (T), compared to the others. FDNcp, as well as hemicellulose, presented a gradual increase throughout the study. The cellulose was constant in all aspects, being related to lignin, which differed only between the periods, with superiority of the third (2.03%) in relation to the second (1.77%). The in vitro digestibility of DM presented a general decrease in concentration as a function of time, with values between 68.29% and 88.10%. Among the minerals K was higher in the first period, with a gradual decrease over time. The treatments containing AE presented the lowest concentrations of P, Zn and Mn. All minerals have met the plant requirements, however, mineral supplementation is indicated for grass-fed animals only. Due to the increase of unwanted structures, such as stalk and dead material, the emerald white IPR oats had their nutritional quality reduced, nevertheless, presenting values within the indicated for animal feed. Oats, when unmarried, can be supplied to animals from June to early September, and can be combined with triticale to increase longevity. / As forrageiras de clima temperado são amplamente utilizadas em regiões frias como forma de alimento nutritivo e barato ao produtor, muitas vezes de maneira consorciada objetivando aumentar sua produtividade. Contudo, tal atividade deve ser estudada para comprovação da efetividade, sendo este o objetivo deste estudo, de maneira a avaliar as características estruturais, produtivas e nutricionais destas forrageiras, em cultivo solteiro ou consorciado. O estudo foi realizado entre abril e agosto de 2015, em um delineamento em blocos casualizados, com cinco tratamentos, quatro repetições e três parcelas subdividas no tempo. Os tratamentos foram: AE – aveia branca IPR Esmeralda, AP – aveia preta IAPAR 61, T – triticale forrageiro Tpolo 981, AE(T) – aveia branca + triticale forrageiro, e AP(T) – aveia preta+ triticale forrageiro. As avaliações ocorreram aos 46, 82 e 119 dias pós-emergência (DPE), representando os três períodos de avaliação. Houve diferença produtiva (P<0,05) entre os tratamentos AP e AE(T) no último período, momento em que todos os tratamentos apresentaram quedas do número de folhas vivas (NFV) e de perfilhos por planta, e taxa de aparecimento e sobrevivência de perfilhos. O consórcio favoreceu o aumento do meristema apical e sobrevivência de perfilhos da aveia branca no último período, em comparação com seu uso solteiro. Assim como aumentou a altura de planta no terço final, e favoreceu maior NFV da aveia preta IAPAR 61 no segundo período, enquanto reduziu a densidade populacional. A perenidade do triticale forrageiro pode ser observada no NFV e densidade populacional superiores aos demais ao final do experimento. Todas as espécies apresentaram qualidade excelente, com aumento da concentração de matéria seca (MS) em função do tempo, chegando aos 22,98%. A proteína foi maior nos tratamentos AP, AP(T) e T, com médias de 18,46%, 18,80% e 19,93%, respectivamente. A matéria orgânica não diferiu entre as médias nos tratamentos, aumentando gradativamente no tempo, ao contrário dos nutrientes digestíveis totais, que mantiveram média de 79,69%. Os componentes fibrosos (FDNcp e FDAp) apresentaram concentrações maiores em AE e AE(T), comparados aos demais. O FDNcp, assim como a hemicelulose apresentou aumento gradativo ao longo do estudo. A celulose foi constante em todos os aspectos, estando relacionada à lignina, que diferiu somente entre os períodos, com superioridade do terceiro (2,03%) em relação ao segundo (1,77%). A digestibilidade in vitro da MS apresentou queda geral de concentração em função do tempo, com valores entre 68,29% e 88,10%. Dentre os minerais o K foi superior no primeiro período, com queda gradativa ao longo do tempo. Os tratamentos contendo AE apresentaram as menores concentrações de P, Zn e Mn. Todos os minerais atenderam as exigências vegetais, contudo, indica-se suplementação mineral aos animais mantidos somente a pasto. Devido ao aumento de estruturas indesejadas, como colmo e material morto, a aveia branca IPR esmeralda teve sua qualidade nutricional reduzida, ainda assim, apresentando valores dentro do indicado para alimentação animal. As aveias, quando solteiras, podem ser fornecidas aos animais entre o período de junho a início de setembro, podendo ser consorciadas com triticale para aumento da perenidade.

This study aims to investigate the settlement patterns of Altinova in the Early Bronze Age and its reflection to social and cultural phenomena. Altinova, which is the most arable plain in Eastern Anatolia, is situated in the borders of Elazig province. The region in the Early Bronze Age was the conjunction and interaction area for two main cultural complexes in the Near East, which were Syro-Mesopotamia and Transcaucasia, with a strong local character. The effect of the foreign and local cultural interactions to the settlement patterns of Altinova in the Early Bronze Age and its reflection in the socio-economic structures have been discussed in the social perspective. In addition, the settlement distribution and its system were analyzed through the quantitative methods, that were gravity model, rank-size analysis, and nearest neighbor analysis. The results of these quantitative analyses with the archaeological data have been discussed in the social and theoretical context.
