The Blue Funk in the Fish-Tank: a Study on the French Banlieue Riots
(Univ L Aquila, 2022) Yavuz Velipasaoglu, Didem
The problems of French suburbs came to the fore in the early 1980s, particularly during what was known as Hot Summer of 1981. This study investigates the social polarization between the poor and the affluent caused spatial segregation in the banlieus of France. Situated about fifteen kilometers east of Paris in the area of Seine Saint-Denis, the housing projects, or habitation a loyer modere (HLM) as they are known in France, of Clichy-sous-Bois and Montfermeil were constructed in the late 1960s and early 1970s mostly in peripheral areas. HLM were considered as an answer for the increasing housing needs after the Second World War, particularly for low-income families, although large numbers of middle- class families lived there in the early post-war period. And in their early years, they improved the living conditions of many families. Today the neighborhoods are mostly inhabited by multicultural minority groups, a mix of low-income, immigrant, North African, and Muslim groups. The multicultural banlieues are isolated and suffer poor infrastructure and poor transportation links to the urban center and neighboring towns. This study focuses on the causes of violence and crime and the relationship of power and powerlessness in an urban context. Gentrification enters in to the picture in the recent years for the banlieues' cases as globalization has pushed renewal projects into city peripheries and old city centers across the world.

Weaving an Empire: the Hereke Factory Under the Banner of Ottomanism (1842-1914)
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Yavuz Velipasaoglu, Didem
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the style of Ottoman textiles underwent a remarkable shift. This study examines this shift through the case of the Hereke Imperial Factory, a showcase of Ottoman modernism, from the factory’s foundation to the run up to the First World War. In this study, I draw on Ottoman archival records and sources found at the Hereke factory library to show how the style of the textiles produced at the factory was gradually ‘nationalized’ under the reigning political ideology of the day. I also argue that the evolving styles produced by the designers at the Hereke factory were not merely a reflection of the political culture of the era but also, and more significantly, an active factor in shaping that culture. When creating their designs, the designers at Hereke consciously sought to revive the past, and over time, I show, the aspects of the past they embraced for this purpose changed in important ways, gradually shifting from European-style ornamentation to more ‘authentic’ Ottoman styles that were in reality an entirely new synthesis of earlier Eastern designs. That is, designers effectively created a self-consciously ‘Ottoman style’ for the first time, paralleling the efforts of the empire around them to forge a modern imperial identity. I devote particular attention to Tovmas Effendi, an Armenian painter and Hereke’s chief draftsman, to demonstrate how the idea of Ottomanism crystalized in carpet design.
İmparatorluktan Cumhuriyete Çocuk İşçiler: Geçiş Mekanı Olarak Hereke Fabrika Yerleşkesi (1910’lar-1950’ler)
(2025) Velipasaoglu, Didem Yavuz
Bu çalışma, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun son yılları ile Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk yıllarında Hereke Fabrikası’ndaki çocuk işçiliğinin değişen dinamiklerini incelemektedir. Osmanlı döneminde, fabrikadaki yönetim, işçilerin aileleri için ilk konut projelerini başlatmış ve tek başına çalışanlar ve çoğu yetim olan çocuk işçilerin barınması için lojmanlar inşa etmiştir. Cumhuriyet’in kurulmasının ardından, özellikle fabrikanın Sümerbank’a devrinden sonra, memurlar ve işçiler için konut projeleri devam etmiş, yetim çocuklar da hâlâ fabrikada çalıştırılmaya devam edilmiştir. Çocuk işçiliği ve yetimlerin durumu, işçi sınıfının büyük değişim geçirdiği Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk yıllarında önemli bir rol oynamıştır. 1910’lar ile 1950’ler arasındaki bu geçiş dönemi, zorla çalıştırmadan gönüllü istihdama doğru kademeli bir kayma yaşanmış ve bu durum iş gücü dinamiklerini önemli ölçüde etkilemiştir.
