Article Artisans Meet Design: the Reception of the Turkish Handicraft Development Office in Turkey(Oxford University Press, 2020) Emgin, BaharPeter Muller-Munk Associates, an American industrial design firm, established the Turkish Handicraft Development Office in 1957 in Ankara as part of the US technical assistance program to developing nations. The aim of the program was to improve selected local crafts products in order to make them appealing for the American market. To this end, American designers and local craftspeople produced about 150 prototypes formed by creative combinations of meerschaum, copperware, ceramics, woodwork and basket weaving. When the office was closed in the early 1960s because of its failure to mass-produce the samples, it left behind a lively debate regarding the improvement of craft production and its relation to industrialization and economic growth. This article focuses on these debates to determine the place allocated to design within the discussions of crafts as a socio-economic activity. The article will focus on the reception of the design assistance program among the local actors to answer how Turkish crafts practitioners and officials perceived design, how the emergent concept of design was linked with handicraft and artisanal production, and how it took place as part of the agenda of economic and industrial development.Article Demir Sıpa: Zanaat ve Tasarım Arasında Türk El Sanatlarını Tanıtma Derneği(2024) Emgin, BaharBu makale, 1950’li ve 1960’lı yıllarda Ankara’da faaliyet gösteren Türk El Sanatlarını Tanıtma Derneği’nin Türkiye’de modern ürün kimliğinin ve tasarımın gelişimine olan katkılarını ele almaktadır. Kız Teknik Öğretmen Okulu öğretmenlerinin çoğunluğunun oluşturduğu bir grup tarafından Ankara’da 1950'li yılların başında kurulan dernek, Türk el sanatlarının ülke çapında ve yurt dışında tanıtılmasını hedefler. Faaliyet gösterdiği süre boyunca, kadınlar tarafından amatör bir etkinlik olarak sürdürülen el sanatları üretimini özellikle hediyelik eşya pazarı için özgün bir kaynak olarak yeniden tanımlar. Bunun yanında ürettikleri ürünlerin estetik olarak geliştirilerek özgün bir tasarım kimliğine sahip olması yönünde çaba gösterir. Bu bağlamda makalede, dernek üyesi kadınların feminist tasarım tarihi eleştirilerinde işaret edilen tasarım ve zanaat arasındaki cinsiyetçi iş bölümünü yeniden tanımladıkları iddia edilir. Derneğin, henüz Türkiye'de endüstriyel tasarımın profesyonel bir uğraş olarak ortaya çıkmadığı bir dönemde bu faaliyetin ilk örneklerinden birini sergilediği öne sürülerek, üyelerinin ürünleri, becerileri ve yetkinlikleri ile tasarım alanında kendilerine açtıkları yer açığa çıkarılır. Derneğin tasarım ve zanaat arasındaki konumunun Türkiye’de modern tasarım kimliğinin inşasında ilk basamaklardan birini oluşturduğuna işaret edilir. Dernek hakkında ulusal basında yayınlanan yazı ve haberler söylem analizine tabi tutularak, derneğin etkinlik ve ürünleriyle tasarım ve zanaat arasında toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı yapılan ayrımı ne ölçüde yeniden ürettiği ya da yerinden ettiği ve dolayısıyla modern Türk tasarım kimliğinin oluşumuna ne ölçüde katkıda bulunduğu ortaya çıkarılır.Editorial The Editorial Preface: Contemporary Histories of Design and Transience(Universidad de Oviedo, 2023) Emgin,B.; Ata,Z.; Tunç Cox,A.; Kılınç,K.[No abstract available]Editorial The Editorial Preface: Contemporary Histories of Design and Transience(Univ Oviedo, 2023) Emgin, Bahar; Ata, Zeynep; Tunç Cox, Ayça; Kılınç, Kıvanç[No abstract available]Article From Work to Leisure: ”Transforming Kitchen Spaces, Technologies, and Practices in Türkiye, 1930s-2020s.”(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) Emgin, B.; Bektaş Ata, L.; Karaosmanoğlu, D.Kitchens are more than functional spaces; they reflect and shape cultural values, technologies, and ideals of modern life. Framing the kitchen as an orchestrating concept that brings together images, materials, and competencies, this article examines how idealized settings and tools have produced shifting narratives of modernity and redefined meanings, functions, and everyday practices in Türkiye from the 1930s to the present. It highlights the transformation of the kitchen from a moralizing space to one of entertainment and creativity across three eras: the ordered workshop of the 1930s, the cozy living room of the 1970s, and the technological hub of the 2000s. Drawing on archival research from a larger project on the social history of domestic technologies in Türkiye, the article analyzes newspapers, magazines, TV commercials, social media, and films to reveal how domestic ideals have been negotiated through kitchen spaces. © 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Article Exploring Women's Visceral Engagement With Electric Appliances in Turkish Kitchens(Springernature, 2025) Emgin, Bahar; Karaosmanoğlu, Defne; Ata, Leyla Bektaş; Karaosmanoglu, Defne; Ata, Leyla Bektas; Emgin, BaharThis paper investigates the narratives and experiences of women regarding cooking with small electric appliances. It intends to offer a novel perspective on gender and technology studies by foregrounding the visceral dimensions of these encounters. Drawing from a larger project on the historical representations and lived experiences of domestic technologies in Turkey, it highlights how the embodied dimensions of cooking shape the ways women perceive, adapt, and integrate technology into their daily lives. This study is based on interviews with twenty-seven women across five cities in Turkey conducted between 2022 and 2024. While small electric appliances are often marketed for convenience and efficiency, we argue that focusing solely on their instrumental benefits neglects the complex and visceral ways women engage with technology. A visceral approach remains an undervalued lens for understanding these interactions, particularly as women's embodied knowledge and relationships to kitchen appliances challenge scholarship that prioritizes progress and efficiency. As active agents, many women resist these technologies, viewing them as misaligned with the embodied knowledge and practices integral to cooking. By reevaluating the relationship between food, gender, and technology, we propose that such disengagement challenges the positivist reliance on science and technology, emphasizing the importance of embodied knowledge and everyday practices in shaping women's interactions with technology.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2The Unlimited Joy, 'once You Start You Can't Stop': Masculinity in Domestic Technology Commercials in Turkey(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Karaosmanoglu, Defne; Ata, Leyla Bektas; Emgin, BaharRecently, studies have begun examining men's interaction with domestic space to explore changing forms of masculinity and domesticity, arguing that housework has become a leisure activity for men, with domestic technologies serving as tools (toys) for them to engage with. In this article, we explore how men in Turkish television commercials of domestic technologies are portrayed and how these portrayals construct and reconstruct discourses of domesticity and masculinity. We aim to understand men's relationship with masculinity, home and domestic work in these commercials. Alongside leisure and fun, we explore the construction of discourses of masculinity and domesticity through specific themes such as the naughty scientist, the self-seeking purchaser, and the flirtatious chef. We argue that seeing more men on screen does not democratise domesticity since the equal share of workload at home is still far from being realised even in these portrayals. We also argue that domesticity is aestheticized with the participation of men and technology. Finally, women are used as instruments by men in reconstructing their masculinity through heterosexuality.Article Citation - WoS: 1Princesses Versus Maids: Domesticating Electricity in the Early Republican Period in Turkey(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019) Emgin, BaharThis 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.
