Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1A Narrative of an Ideological Destruction: Where Do We Go Now?(University of Pittsburgh, 2023) Tunç Cox, Ayça; Aygün, Gamzenur; Tunç Cox, Ayça; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyLebanese filmmaker, actress, and screenwriter Nadine Labaki’s 2011 film Where Do We Go Now? is about the ideological manipulation that gradually results in a big conflict among people in a rural Middle Eastern village where Muslims and Christians live in a peaceful existence. Labaki is known for her politically engaged narratives which refer to the recent political past of Lebanese whilst centralizing strong female figures. Where Do We Go Now? is no exception, and thus, reflects the director's general cinematic style and political attitude. Labaki invites her audience through the comedy to question ideology which interpellates and thus constructs the individual as a subject by revealing the ways ideology creates differences, separation, and conflict among people. In this context, this article strives to analyze the film Where Do We Go Now? employing critical discourse analysis with references to Althusser's conceptualization of ideology and Subject-subject formation. © 2023, University Library System, University of Pittsburgh.

Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 02. Faculty of ArchitectureBeing diagnosed with cancer is traumatic and life-changing for children. Due to the disease and treatment, children experience suffering, pain, interruption in school and playful activities, and separation from social and familiar environments. These negatively affect their quality of life (QOL). This article reports a co-design process conducted with children with cancer to shed light on their needs with regard to the play area furniture at the hospital to recommend design ideas that might improve children's QOL. The results have shown that a modular furniture system that can be customizable by children might contribute to their QOL - thanks to its adaptability to the needs of a wide range of age groups. In addition, there is a possible link between co-design sessions and children's well-being in terms of an increased sense of control, socialization and physical activities. For designers- who are the facilitators of co-design sessions with children- actively involving caregivers in co-design processes, co-designing the generative tools and the process with participants, and conducting observations and interviews to shape and complement the co-design sessions are advised. The findings of this study are expected to assist designers, co-design practitioners and healthcare members.Article The Turkish-German Affair in Films: a Dreamworld or a Netherworld?(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 2020) Tunç Cox, Ayça; Tunç Cox, Ayça; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyTurkish society’s perception of Germany has been going through a significant transformation. This is indisputably related with the crucial role Germany played by not taking sides with Turkey in its long-lasting attempts to access to the European Union. Through critical discourse analysis, this article explores how Turkish cinematic narratives have accounted for the thorny Turkish-German relations in the last two decades. The analyzed films, which are the products of the dynamic and heterogeneous new cinema of Turkey, have contributed to the knowledge produced about Germany, Germans and Turkish-Germans in the media. Therefore, focusing on these cinematic texts should reveal alternative modes of reading the enduring Turkish-German affair. As the close textual analysis has revealed, the films in question refuse the presumed label of “subaltern” for Turkey, and instead, provides a realistic and multifaceted account of said relationship.Article Filmde Heteroglossia, Filmin Heteroglossia’sı: La Haine(Akdeniz Üniversitesi, 2019) Cox, Ayça Tunç; Tunç Cox, Ayça; Tunç Cox, Ayça; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyBu makale Mathieu Kassovitz’in yönetmenliğini üstlendiği La Haine (1995) adlı filmi Bakhtin’in “heteroglossia” kavramı özelinde analiz etmektedir. Heteroglossia kavramıyla “dil, belirli ideolojik inanç sistemlerinin temsil edildiği bir sosyal söylemler alanı olarak” (Morris, 2003: p. 73) tanımlanmaktadır. Avrupa’yı sarsmaya devam eden mülteci krizinin, yükselen İslamofobinin ve yabancı düşmanlığının gölgesinde film güncelliğini, dolayısıyla sosyal ve politik önemini korumaktadır. Film, teması ve merkezi karakterleri itibariyle, “diyasporik sinema”, “beur sinema”, “banliyö sineması” ve “Fransız sineması” gibi ceşitli tanımlayıcı kategoriler içinde değerlendirilebilmektedir. Fakat çalışma kapsamında, Fransız sineması ve banliyö sineması bağlamı içinde, çok sesli, çok dilli bir anlatı olarak özellikle filmsel metnin kendisine odaklanılmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, filmdeki karakterlerin ifadeleri ve bu ifadelerin sosyal ve kültürel yananlamları/çağrışımları baz alınarak, sanayi sonrası ve sömürgecilik sonrası Fransa’da bu karakterlerin nasıl birer “öteki” olarak çerçevelendiği analiz edilmektedir. Yapılan detaylı metin analizi, bu görsel işitsel anlatının çok katmanlı yapısını vurgulayacak şekilde farklı “heteroglossia” kullanımlarının varlığını göstermektedir.Master Thesis Participatory Design Improving the Quality of Life in Inpatient Children With Cancer(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Örnekoğlu Selçuk, Melis; Tunç Cox, Ayça; Örnekoğlu Selçuk, Melis; Tunç Cox, Ayça; Hasırcı İnceoğlu, Deniz; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 02. Faculty of ArchitectureThe diagnosis of cancer influences the lives of children in many ways. Instead of maintaining daily activities, children often visit hospitals or stay there for an uncertain period. Due to the disease and treatment, children experience suffering and pain, their school and play activities are interrupted and they become separated from social and familiar environments. This may cause several problems in their development and quality of life (QOL). QOL is the state of well-being in terms of physical, psychological and social aspects. According to surveys that investigate the negative effects of cancer on children’s QOL, “the loss of normalcy” and inability to play, do sports, spend time with family and friends are considered by children to be worse than the physical symptoms and side effects of the treatment. Children with cancer need play during hospitalization in order to pursue their development and to feel normal. A case study was conducted in Dokuz Eylül University Nevvar and Salih İşgören Children’s Hospital in order to understand the needs of children with cancer, provide a design suggestion for their play area, and especially investigate the effects of the participatory design process on QOL of children. A participatory design study was carried out in order to achieve more responsive results to participants’ needs by involving users in the design process. It was found out that the process contributes to the improvement of QOL of children by making them feel that their ideas matter as well as distracting them from negative thoughts regarding cancer.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 4Hyphenated Identities: the Recept Ion of Turkish German Cinema in the Turkish Daily Press(Berghahn Books, 2012) Tunç Cox, Ayça; Tunç Cox, Ayça; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe success of Turkish German filmmaker Fatih Akın initiated new debates on the identity of Turkish diasporic filmmakers in Germany. While star director Akın and other Turkish German filmmakers have been celebrated in the German media with the slogan “the new German cinema is Turkish,” the Turkish media seems to downplay the German side of their hyphenated identity.1 Instead, the Turkish press uses the achievements of these Turkish filmmakers in Germany to bolster a positive image for Turkey in an international context.
