    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.

    An Attempt To Read the Change in Aesthetics by Reading Deleuze: the Iaa and Sanart Conferences on Aesthetics
    (Universidad de Oviedo, 2023) Kök, Saadet; Akpınar, İpek; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    As a result of processes such as social-political and environmental crises, globalization and innovative technological developments, which are evaluated on the basis of speed and urgency, we are faced with a result-oriented, reductionist, ethical and aesthetic world. This work reveals the relationship between aesthetics and the changing world. In this context, this study, which focuses on the themes of the International Aesthetics Association (IAA) and Aesthetics and Visual Culture Association (SANART) congresses, reads the relationship of aesthetics with our changing world through Gilles Deleuze's 'philosophy of difference'. In this framework, the study chronologically analyzes the relationship between themes and the call for congress papers with Deleuze's terms. The study evaluates the conceptual framework of the congresses of SANART and IAA associations, corresponding to Deleuze's concept of 'system'. The events organized by each association at regular intervals are the 'series' that make up the systems. In this context, the study reads the concepts both in the series they belong to and in their verbal identities in other series. In other words, the study, which analyzes the dynamic and static repetitions of the concepts in congress themes and call texts, questions the fields of external and conceptual difference. The data obtained in this study were categorized and interpreted as series, horizontal series and vertical series.
