The Role and Effect of Culture Cultivation (Culturevation) in the Relationship between Urbanism and Publicness
No full textBengü, Devran (Arel Author)In urbanism and architecture, the concepts of the public sphere, publicness, and public space have been used either as separate domains or as substitutes. However in a democratic society, these 3 concepts actually constitute a holistic whole. This point of view can only be advanced in an atmosphere of productivity that is not only non-consumerist, but which also differs from the contemporary capitalist production environment. When the art of theater is examined in relation to the development of publicness, it is possible to find spaces that may be tools of this different productivity that vitalizes the public sphere. There is quite a strong philosophical and historical connection between the development of publicness and the art of theater. In this article, the argument that theater is an influential tool in the relationship between urbanism and publicness is supported by the findings of field surveys conducted in the historic city center of the Kadikoy district of Istanbul. The findings suggest that the productivity of the rapidly increasing and accepted "alternative stages" of new generation theater spaces have characteristics that are different from the contemporary capitalist system. This productivity, which is visible in the environment of the new generation theater spaces nourishes publicness. This form of productivity that has emerged in the environment of the alternative stages observed in the field research is termed "culture cultivation" or "culturevation." This article provides a definition of culturevation and a discussion of the effective dynamics in the context of culturevation using data obtained in the field. Attention is drawn to how the existing publicness of local administrative structures, where the entirety of the public cultural production dynamic can be addressed, can be evaluated from a different perspective as sociocultural spaces that serve publicness
Kamusal mekânın yapılanmasında kamusallık ve ekinsel üretim mekânlarının rolü: Kadıköy örneği
No full textTez (Doktora) -- Mimar Sinan Güzel Sanatlar Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2017.Bu tez araştırması öncelikle derin bir kavramsal çalışma gerektirmiştir. Kamusal Alan (Public Sphere), Kamusallık (Publicness) ve Kamusal Mekân (Public Space), kavramlarının şehircilik ve mimarlık disiplinlerinde ya birbirlerinden ayrıştırılarak ya da birbirlerinin ikamesi yapılarak kullanılıyor olması bu tez kapsamında ele alınan öncelikli bir sorunsaldır. Bu problem çerçevesinde, bu her üç kavramın aslında temel bir holistik yapı arz ettiği ve bu kavramların aslında bir bütünlük çerçevesinde değerlendirilmeleri gerektiği ortaya konulmaktadır. Bu bakış açısının ise tüketim ortamlarının dışında ve çağdaş kapitalist üretim ortamlarından farklı bir üretkenlik atmosferinin varlığı ile kazanılabileceği gösterilmektedir. Kamusal alanı canlandıran bu farklı üretkenliğin mekânsal anlamda karşılığının bulunabilmesi batı literatüründe düşünce gelişiminin takibi ile tiyatro sanatında mümkün olmaktadır. Kamusallığı besleyerek kamusal alanın canlanmasını sağlayabilen mekânsal ortam açısından tiyatronun tarihsel çağlar boyunca önemli bir dinamik olduğu tezin ilerleyen bölümlerinde detaylı olarak ortaya konulmaktadır. Bu bulgular ışığında İstanbul Kadıköy ilçesindeki mevcut kamusallığın dinamikleri üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Kadıköy'deki kamusallığın yapılanmasında, bu ilçede hızla artmakta olan sanatsal faaliyetler çerçevesinde yine sayıları gittikçe artmakta olan yeni nesil tiyatro mekânlarının önemli bir dinamik olarak ortaya çıktığı bulgulanmıştır. Kadıköy ilçesinin tarihsel incelemesi ve ilçe genelinde yeni nesil tiyatro mekânları ile bunların çevre ilişkileri bağlamında gerçekleştirilen saha araştırmaları tiyatronun kamusal alanın camlamasındaki işlevselliğini açıkça gözler önüne sermektedir. Teorik araştırmalar çerçevesinde kavramlara ilişkin elde edilen dinamikler bağlamında Kadıköy genelinde ve tiyatro mekânlarının yıl boyunca süren etkinliklerini takiben yapılan saha araştırmaları, teoriden gelen bu kamusal alan ve kamusallık bileşenlerine sahadan çıkarılan yeni bileşenlerin de eklenmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir. Tez bir yandan bu bileşenleri belirleyerek kamusal alanı var edebilecek bir kamusallığın canlanmasındaki ortam dinamiklerini ortaya koyma çalışmakta, bir yandan da Kadıköy örneğinde kamusallığın bir aracı olarak çözümlenebilen yeni nesil tiyatrolar üzerinden bir modelin varlığına dikkat çekmektedir
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
The Impact of Alternative Theater Stages on Public Spaces within the Context of Publicness in Kadikoy
No full textThis study defines a theoretical frame that associates the concept of the public sphere as a significant component of public life with the concept of public space based on the common ground of publicness. The concepts of 'publicness' and the 'public sphere', which are used in an explanatory manner for forming common life, also reach beyond this in their consideration of social life as a socialization environment. These issues were discussed based on different approaches. Considering a basic definition of the public sphere as a discussion environment, an argument is made that this discussion environment is supported by the production of ideas. Newly-formed theater environment might have a positive role to reinforce to publicness as previous studies shows. Considering that, the conceptual and spatial aspects of publicness, as presented in this field study concerning alternative stages in Kadikoy, Istanbul, were reviewed through four typologically different theater cases. This study evaluated alternative stages' interaction with the public space based on observations, spatial analysis and in-depth interviews with theater artists. It was observed that theater stages either directly or indirectly interact with public spaces. Besides, artists' perspectives can determine and impact both the spatial uses of theaters and social relationships with neighborhood residents. Holistically reviewing all relevant components within this context and using theaters as a case study, this article points out that theaters as sociocultural spaces are a feature in publicness on diverse layer of urban life
