    The Roma Image in the Mainstream Turkish Audiovisual Media: Sixty Years of Stereotyping
    (Liverpool University Press, 2019) Cox, Ayça Tunç; Uştuk, Ozan
    This article seeks to address one of the most problematic lacunae in Turkey's political and academic landscape by examining the mediated images of the Roma people in Turkey. This long-neglected sub-cultural group in the Turkish context is mostly regarded as the “others” of society, who cannot speak for themselves. Their public imagination is, therefore, based heavily on narratives that are exclusively produced by non-Roma people. In order to reveal the historical construction of the popular Roma image in Turkey, we cover audiovisual material from the 1960s onward. Through a descriptive-interpretive analysis, we seek to explore how cultural and artistic narratives have contributed to and/or mirrored, and thus reproduced, the prevailing knowledge and imagination about the Roma people in Turkish society. © 2019 Liverpool University Press.

    A Systematic Review of the Relations Between Industrial Design Education and Industry in Turkey Through Swot Analysis
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2013) Erkarslan, Önder
    This study aims to evaluate the strong and weak aspects of industrial product design (IPD) and industrial design (ID) education in Turkey in the context of their relations with Turkish industry. This study was conducted in four major phases. The study started with a SWOT analysis of the economy in Turkey and continued with an analysis of ID education using data on undergraduate and graduate education programmes, the number of faculty members, the number of graduates and the number of registered students. After identifying the profile of the industrial designer from the perspective of industry through online job advertisements, the correlation between the expectations of industry and the philosophy of ID and IPD education programmes in Turkey was analysed. The findings demonstrate that Turkey is behind other countries in terms of intellectual property rights, new products development and investment in new fields of business. Moreover, the share of resources allocated for research and development is insufficient. The education model of IPD and ID graduate programmes is inconsistent with the industry expectations. The expectations of the industry and the educational emphases of university programmes are extremely incompatible. The findings of this study will help to develop cooperation between industry and education programmes and will thus lead to better employment opportunities for graduates of IPD and ID programmes.

    Optimization of Product Design Through Quality Function Deployment and Analytical Hierarchy Process: Case Study of a Ceramic Washbasin
    (Middle East Technical University, 2011) Erkarslan, Önder; Yılmaz, Hande
    Quality Function deployment (QFD) is a useful method for optimizing products which can be applied during the design process as well as in the postproduction process for further developments and revisions. This paper aims at examining the applicability of QFD and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to incorporate customer expectations and design quality into the product through a case study on a ceramic washbasin (1). In the first phase of the study customer needs and satisfaction are surveyed based on the current product design. This data is then merged with a Voice of Engineer (VOE) chart where technical attributes and features corresponding to the items in the Voice of Customer (VOC) are listed. By using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the customer needs as well as technical attributes are quantified and prioritized. Quality characteristics are then obtained by the calculation of customer weights according to the level of importance, which were then transformed into measurable technical attributes in the House of Quality (HOQ). Interrelations among customer requirements, technical attributes and planning blocks were put in a matrix in order to get precise evaluations. The findings of this study demonstrate that the application of QFD at an earlier period in the design phase can help to efficiently implement design remediation.

    Modernlik Söylemi: Endişeli Bakışlarda Modern Birey
    (Middle East Technical University, 2010) Talu, Nilüfer
    19. yüzyılın son çeyreğinden günümüze, modernlik ve modern hayatın eleştirileri pek çok farklı disiplin üzerinden klasik teorik yazılar, imgeler, kültürel nesneler, mimari pratikler, bilimsel ve bilimsel olmayan makaleler gibi sayısız metin üzerinden beslenmektedir (1). Bu çalışmanın amacı sosyal bir durum olarak modernliği, farklı disiplinlerde üretilmiş çeşitli metinleri ile ve eşliğinde, modern bireyine odaklanarak bir söylem olarak ele almak ve analiz etmektir. Yapılan söylem analizi Michel Foucault’nun (1926-1984) Bilginin Arkeolojisi (L’archéologie du Savoir) (1969) adlı eserinde geliştirdiği kuramsal tartışma üzerine temellendirilmiştir. Temel olarak Foucaultgil bakış, eylemleri, sözleri, yazıları, imgeleri kapsayan ayrıştırılmış ifade grupları ve düzenlenmiş pratikler aracılığı ile toplumsal yaşam üzerinde bir anlam, bir etki, bir algı yaratılışının mekanizmalarını araştırır. Foucault çeşitli ve birbirinden farklı metinlerin nasıl bir araya gelerek belli bir bakış açısını ve bir söylemi oluşturduğu üzerine odaklanır.
