Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Aesthetic and Cultural Approach To the Change in the Making Techniques of Karagoz Figures(Istanbul Univ, Research Inst Turkology, Dept Art History, 2021-08-10) Öngen Corsini, Duygu Ebru; Corsini, Duygu Ebru ÖngenKaragoz developed as a unique culture in Anatolian lands. Despite many controversies about how Karagoz came into existence, there is a consensus that it emerged in the 16th century. Figures, as cultural objects, have production methods and techniques interwoven with the doctrines of the past. Today, figure-making for different purposes, inherited from the past, is present in Karagoz figure art. The aesthetic reflections, technique, and material harmony of the figures for show purposes must carry the cultural essence of Karagoz. This study examines museum collections and exhibitions, interviews with Karagoz masters, and a data analysis from an academic perspective. Considering these factors, it becomes clear that the training of masters for figure-making art is significant. Long-term training organized by institutions will contribute to this art and might be beneficial for good examples to reach the audience. Transferring the figures to future generations while preserving their cultural essence, making them in a suitable technique, and aesthetic understanding synthesized with modern techniques; will also contribute to the survival of this art.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Recent Nation Gardens and Historical Development of Public Green Spaces in Turkey(Istanbul Univ, Research Inst Turkology, Dept Art History, 2020-07-31) Kaştaş Uzun, İpek; Senol, Fatma; Uzun, Ipek KaştaşFocusing on contemporary Turkey's nation gardens and the state and governmental policies to build them, this study investigated the development processes and design features of these public green spaces with respect to those from past eras of Turkey (extending to Ottoman and pre-Ottoman history) and the development of public green spaces as the state's symbolic and spatial tools. The study relied on secondary sources about public green spaces from past eras of Turkey and also on the review of online news about nation gardens initiated after President Erdogan's announcement in May 2018. Our findings suggested that public green spaces in Turkey have played an important role in displaying the state's power nationally and internationally as well as to transfer the state's ideologies to people and thus, to build new identities of 'citizens.' Interestingly, in sharing these intentions of past policies for public green spaces, the recent introduction of nation gardens differs from those in the 19th and 20th century. Without any emphasis on modernization goals in the western-style, recent official talks described nation gardens as a way to raise Turkey and the government's reputation both nationally and internationally, while also referring to past eras but with other characteristics as the source of traditions extending to today.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Materiality of Mid-Century Modern Furniture in Turkey(Istanbul Univ, Research Inst Turkology, Dept Art History, 2021-02-05) Ultav, Zeynep Tuna; Hasirci, Deniz; Atmaca, Hande; Çetin, Hande AtmacaThe modern interior emerged as a complex phenomenon, an interchange of modernity and its materiality. One of the constituent elements of this complexity is the progressive relationship with technology. This paper explores the materiality of furniture in terms of its material qualities, production technologies, craft component and inefficacies. The paper focuses on mid-century modern furniture in Turkey as a unique example in the history of furniture design, especially in terms of materiality. In order to understand the material qualities of this historical context, oral history provided a vital methodological tool to uncover the philosophy behind production, contemporary conditions and the designers' personal experiences through their own words. This enables the study to add significantly to the limited knowledge about modern furniture and especially materials in Turkey. The analysis is divided into three parts: materials, production technologies and difficulties. By investigating the material qualities of a furniture piece, the study extends beyond mere forms or styles to cultural productions that narrate the country's efforts to develop and thrive. In addition, it reveals the evolution of both materials and manufacturing techniques. Finally, by connecting these stories to specific furniture pieces, this study documents furniture not just as an artefact but also as the final product of an assemblage of people, materials, and techniques.
