Değerler ile Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rollerine İlişkin Geleneksel Tutum Arasındaki İlişkide Toplumsal Cinsiyet Kalıpyargılarının Aracı Etkisi
No full textThe present study aims to test the mediating role of gender stereotypes in the relationship between the values defined in Hofstede\u27s Cultural Dimensions Theory and traditional attitudes towards gender roles. For this purpose, analyzes were carried out with the data of 271 university students by using the "Individual Cultural Values Scale", "Gender Roles Attitude Scale," and "Competence and Warmth Stereotype Measurement" tools. Correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationships between the variables. The mediating role of gender stereotypes in the relationship between values and traditional attitudes towards gender roles was examined with the Process Macro plugin of the SPSS 24 program. As expected, masculinity, power distance, and collectivism values were found to show strong positive relationships with traditional attitude towards gender roles. As the adoption of the masculinity value increased, the identification of women with the competence stereotype decreased, and depending on this decrease, the adoption of the traditional attitude towards gender roles increased. While it is expected that defining men with the stereotype of warmth is a negative predictor of traditional attitudes toward gender roles, on the contrary, it has been observed that traditional attitudes increase as the definition of men with warmth increases. Accordingly, as masculinity and collectivism values increased, the definition of men with warmth increased. While defining men with warmth increased, the adoption of traditional attitudes toward gender roles increased. It has been discussed in line with the information in the literature that the warmth stereotype can be an element that contributes to the status of men in cultures with a high level of collectivism.
Bu çalışmada Hofstede\u27nin Kültürel Boyutlar Kuramında tanımlanan değerler ile toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin geleneksel tutum arasındaki ilişkide toplumsal cinsiyet kalıpyargılarının aracı rolünün sınanması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda “Bireysel Kültürel Değerler Ölçeği”, “Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rolleri Tutum Ölçeği” ve “Yetkinlik ve Sevecenlik Kalıpyargısı Ölçümü” araçları kullanılarak 271 üniversite öğrencisinin verileriyle analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek üzere korelasyon analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Değerler ile toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin geleneksel tutum arasındaki ilişkide cinsiyet kalıpyargılarının aracılık rolü SPSS 24 programının Process Makro eklentisiyle incelenmiştir. Beklenildiği üzere erillik, güç mesafesi ve toplulukçuluk değerlerinin toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin geleneksel tutumla güçlü pozitif ilişkiler gösterdiği bulunmuştur. Erillik değerinin benimsenmesi arttıkça kadını yetkinlik kalıpyargısıyla tanımlama azalmıştır ve bu azalmaya bağlı olarak toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin geleneksel tutumun benimsenmesi artmıştır. Erkeği sevecenlik kalıpyargısıyla tanımlamanın toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin geleneksel tutumun negatif yordayıcısı olması beklenirken, tam tersine erkeğin sevecen tanımlanışı arttıkça geleneksel tutumun arttığı görülmüştür. Buna göre erillik ve toplulukçuluk değerleri arttıkça erkeğin sevecen tanımlanışı artmıştır. Erkeğin sevecen tanımlanması arttıkça ise toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin geleneksel tutumun benimsenmesi artmıştır. Toplulukçuluk düzeyi yüksek olan kültürlerde sevecenlik kalıpyargısının erkeğin statüsüne katkı sağlayan bir unsur olabileceği literatürdeki bilgiler doğrultusunda tartışılmıştır
Kadınların Doğum Deneyimlerinin Feminist Perspektiften Çözümlenmesi
No full textThis study aims to analyze the patriarchal capitalist elements embedded in women\u27s birth experiences. In this direction, it evaluates how birth is constructed by patriarchal culture and capitalism in connection with motherhood, what it means for women and how it is experienced in line with this meaning. While this study, based on feminist methodology, was conducted through in-depth interviews with 21 women, feminist methodological principles were adhered to throughout the research process. This study, which reveals the patriarchal elements in women\u27s birth experiences with a feminist analysis, also questions whether women can struggle with patriarchal oppression.Bu çalışma kadınların doğum deneyimlerine yerleşmiş ataerkil kapitalist ögeleri çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Fortifications of Enez (Ainos) and Urban Morphology: Architectural, Historical and Epigraphic Evidence Revisited
No full textThe ancient city of Ainos in Enez, modern Turkey, was a fortified settlement starting from Classical Antiquity. It kept this characteristic also during the Middle Ages. In this context, its present castle that dominates the site is undoubtedly the most prominent monument today. Moreover, recent studies argued the underground discovery of Hellenistic city walls, which once surrounded the triangular peninsula of Ainos before the Aegean Sea. However, since certain deficiencies are noticed in the literature, this paper critically reconsiders the architectural, historical and epigraphic evidence for the Late Medieval urban morphology of Ainos in comparison to its fortifications and also the topography, as fundamental delimiting elements. The outcomes suggest that a triangular fortification system existed until the late 13th century, which was most probably formed during refortification of a significant urban center of the Thrace region in Late Antiquity, and was eventually replaced by the Castle of Enez
The Analysis of the Morphological Transformation of a Public Node: The Case of Adana Atatürk Park
No full textSignificant urban modernization developments took place in the city of Adana in the early Republican years of Turkey. Hermann Jansen, who had a crucial contribution to the urbanization development of Turkey, conducted planning studies between 1935 and 1940 in Adana. Although his development plans weren’t implemented substantially, built areas within his plan remain as the most favorite areas in the city. Ataturk Park as one of the first implementations in the city center within the plan was designed as a green area in the newly-built environment. The Park has become a public node with its physical features and monumental structures and survived for almost 80 years by transforming. The purpose of the study is to document the morphological transformation of Ataturk Park and evaluate the effects of the transformation process in the modernization of the city. While the morphological transformation process of Ataturk Park gives significant clues about urban development process of the city, the findings of the study also revealed that focusing on an urban park as an urban element as a potential approach for urban morphology studies is beneficial in terms of evaluating relatively small areas since their imaginary values consist of a significant potential for obtaining crucial information about the development processes of cities
A Morphological Analysis of the Urban Interface-Sculpture Relationship: The Case of Eskişehir Governmental Square-Atatürk Statue
No full textPublic spaces are the areas where social, cultural, and political changes are seen strikingly. These areas mostly are the focal points of the city center in continuous change-transformation processes. Because these areas are open to the access of each component of the society without any discrimination, where there is a common and participatory sharing and where daily life is continually experienced. Sculptures, which play a decisive role in defining and forming the identity of such areas, are the essential symbol elements that continually re-shape public spaces. In this framework, it is necessary to analyze the areas and their environment of the components that make up the public spaces, and how the space changes these components formally over time.
The modernism approach in Turkey has been adopted as an ideology in line to establish a nation-state. Within the framework of this ideological perspective, the modernization project was carried out through this nation- state politics. One of the main purposes of this approach was to create the image and perception of the ‘modern city’. In this regard, it is planned that a state-based view in which national regime ideals are represented will become visible in city centers. The way of seeking for public spaces developed with modern urban planning defines an area where the Atatürk statue is focal and representative point. The statue of Atatürk is the main determining and affecting factor on the public space in the process of constructing a new memory.
In this direction, the study consists of examining the Government Square, which has been used as the administrative center until today, by revealing the reflection of the public space model of "boulevard-square- government buildings " created in all cities within the content of the modernization project, with the spatial analysis method proposed formally. The area, which was created with the idea of creating a square within the content of the reconstruction works in 1945, consists of the Government House, the Central Bank, the Courthouse and the Atatürk Statue.
The study primarily aims to understand the current spatial situation of Eskişehir Governmental Square. Then, for this purpose, the Atatürk statue and all other spatial components in the public space are analyzed. The morphological analysis and its assessment method of this study are based on the criteria that emerged as a result of readings about public space and its spatial components. These criteria are as follows: morphological features and character of public space, characteristics of the components forming the public space, functional features of the public space, and its reflections, the user-sculpture, public space-sculpture, and sculpture-architectural landscape relations. These analyzes were interpreted and evaluated within the framework of different approaches developing conceptual background. As a result, various concluding remarks are presented related with selected case study
Mary Wollstonecraft’ın Koruyucu Liberarizmi: Adalet ve Özen Etiği
No full textContemporary feminist scholars have devoted much attention to analiyzing the relationship between justice and care theories but little to the ideas of early feminist authors. I bring the political philosophy of the Mary Wollstonecraft to bear on contemporary justice/care debates in order to highlight her unique contribution. Although usually interpreted as a classical liberal or republican thinker, Wollstonecraft is better understood as a feminist care theorist. She aimed at a revolutionary transformation of liberal society by emphasizing the importance of care-giving duties. Unlike some recent feminist scholars, however, she still recognized an important role for justice. She argued that before personal care-giving activities could transform the political, political justice had first to be extended to personal caring relationships. Wollstonecraft\u27s political philosophy thus provides a feminist model for synthesizing justice and care theories and represents an innovative reformulation of classical liberal and republican ideas that incorporates the care perspective.Çağdaş feminist akademisyenler, adalet ve bakım teorileri arasındaki ilişkiyi analiz etmeye çok dikkat ettiler, ancak erken dönem feminist yazarların fikirlerine çok az ilgi gösterdiler. Mary Wollstonecraft\u27ın eşsiz katkısını vurgulamak için politik felsefesini çağdaş adalet/bakım tartışmalarına taşıyorum. Genellikle klasik bir liberal veya cumhuriyetçi düşünür olarak yorumlansa da, Wollstonecraft daha iyi bir feminist özen düşünürü olarak anlaşılır. Bakım görevlerinin önemini vurgulayarak liberal toplumun devrimci bir dönüşümünü hedeflemiştir. Bununla birlikte, bazı yeni feminist bilim insanlarının aksine, adalet için hala önemli bir rolün farkındaydı. Kişisel bakım verme faaliyetlerinin politik olanı dönüştürmeden önce,adaletin kişisel bakım ilişkilerine taşınması gerektiğini savunmuştur. Dolayısıyla Wollstonecraft\u27ın siyaset felsefesi, adalet ve özen teorilerini sentezlemek için feminist bir model sağlar ve özen perspektifini içeren klasik liberal ve cumhuriyetçi fikirlerin yenilikçi bir şekilde yeniden formüle edilmesini temsil eder
