    Princesses Versus Maids: Domesticating Electricity in the Early Republican Period in Turkey
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019) Emgin, Bahar; Emgin, Bahar; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This article is concerned with the question of how electricity was introduced into the home in Turkey during a period when electrification of the country ran in parallel with the establishment of the new republic. Republican discourses of modernization and progress attributed electricity a symbolic transformative power. Yet, the robust power of electricity had to be domesticated before it was introduced into the homes to comply with the ideal of modern home. Visual representations of electricity constituted a crucial step in this process of domestication. To figure out the visual strategies of domestication the study focuses on the representations of electricity produced by prominent mediators of domestic electricity during the period. These include the bi-monthly publication of Istanbul's electric providerSociete Anonyme d'Installations Electriques(SATIE) namedAmeli Elektrikand prominent women's and family magazines of the period, which areYedigunandEv-Is. Dwelling on advertisement images, cover illustrations and promotional pieces, this article identifies two main visual strategies of domestication, namely mythification and anthropomorphization. Throughout the text it is argued that visual representations of electricity for residential users undermined the quasi-neutral definition of electricity as a modern power and rather worked to frame electricity as a means of distinction and pictured a pretentious modernity.

    A Systematic Review of the Relations Between Industrial Design Education and Industry in Turkey Through Swot Analysis
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2013) Erkarslan, Önder; Erkarslan, Önder; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    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.
