    Staging Nişantaşı: Cultural Conflicts and Ideological Representations of Urban Space in Turkish Tv Culture
    (Springer, 2025) Akpınar, İpek; Akpınar, İpek; Akpinar, Ipek; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This paper examines how urban spaces become sites of ideological contestation through their representation in popular media, focusing specifically on Ni & scedil;anta & scedil;& imath;, a historically significant neighborhood in Istanbul that embodies the class tensions within T & uuml;rkiye's modernization narrative. Drawing on cultural geography as a theoretical framework, the study analyzes how this distinctive urban space functions as both physical setting and symbolic element in post-2000 Turkish television dramas. Since the expansion of private broadcasting, these TV series have emerged as powerful agents in shaping public consciousness about space, class, and identity. Through semiotic analysis of selected programs, this research reveals how Ni & scedil;anta & scedil;& imath;'s portrayal constructs and reinforces social class distinctions in contemporary Turkish society. The findings demonstrate that urban geography serves as a reflective surface for cultural and social conflict, with television representations amplifying Ni & scedil;anta & scedil;& imath;'s multi-layered spatial identity formed through historical processes, societal dynamics, and personal narratives. By connecting these representations to broader patterns of class differentiation in T & uuml;rkiye, this study contributes to our understanding of how media portrayals of urban spaces simultaneously reflect and reinforce class distinction through collective social imaginaries.

    1960s Tax Law and Non-Muslim Exodus From Istanbul: Turkification of the City
    (Taylor & Francis, 2023) Akpınar, İpek; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This chapter discusses the urban consequences of the expulsion of Istanbul Greeks in 1964. It demonstrates the urban impact of the 16 March 1964 decree that terminated the residence of 12, 000 Greek passport holders in Istanbul (a population of 40, 000 with their relatives), who were given 24 hours to leave the city and allowed to carry only 20 kilograms of belongings or US$22 with them. The event also alarmed many other non-Muslim families to emigrate from Istanbul, while the city was receiving a large influx of immigrants from rural lands due to the growing industrialization and urbanization. Akpinar discusses the urban planning interventions in Istanbul under the Menderes and subsequent governments throughout the 1950s and 1960s as ad-hoc or intentional steps toward Turkification, in which discrimination and the resulting emigration of Istanbul Greeks played a significant part. © 2024 selection and editorial matter, Esra Akcan and Iftikhar Dadi; individual chapters, the contributors.
