Metaphysics of Beauty in Islam
No full textI summarize fundamental philosophical principles of the metaphysics of beauty in Arabic, Persian and Turkish thought, literature and culture, beginning with the Quran and hadith. As in Plato, true beauty is thought of as the destination of a journey of inner development, but through a distinctively Islamic series of “worlds.” With examples from literature and painting I show how Islamic philosophy elaborated the key role of imagination in realization of true beauty.I summarize fundamental philosophical principles of the metaphysics of beauty in Arabic, Persian and Turkish thought, literature and culture, beginning with the Quran and hadith.

HÜSN Ü AŞK’IN ARKEOLOJİSİ- I
No full textPoetics is the classic method of examining a literary work by focusing on its structure. Modern philology and hermeneutics developed alternatives in the nineteenth century taking poetics as a base. In the early 20th, poetics took on a new life through the "linguistic turn," which focused on the structures of "objects" created by language.? With later poststructural and postmodernist approaches the archeology of texts gained a place beside philogy as an interpretive method. Philology looks at the textual sources of a work; it determines its place in history by tracing a cause and effect chain of influence. But it is always possible that there may be an older influencing text, or that influence may have traveled by other than textual means. Textual archeology explores these extra-textual avenues. Here I consider the place of Plato's Symposium in the archeology of the spiritual journey as we find it in Shaykh Galip's Beauty and Love.Edebiyat eserinin yapı incelemesi, yani poetika, edebiyatçının en klasik yöntemidir. 19. yüzyılda modern filoloji ile hermenötik (yorumbilim) yöntemleri gelişip poetikanın yerini aldı ama bunlar yine poetikaya dayanır. Nitekim 20. yüzyılın başında poetika, “dilsel döndürme” diye geniş bir akım meydana geldiğinde yapısalcılıkla yeni bir önem kazandı. Bu yöneliş ile de “yapısalcılık sonrası” yöntemi ile postmodernizm anlayışı edebiyatçının donanımına hâkim oldu. Bunlarla beraber metnin arkeolojisi diye yeni bir yorum şekli, filolojinin yanına yerleşti. Filoloji bir eserin metinsel kaynaklarını arar; etkileyeni etkilenenden ayırıp bir sebep-sonuç çizgisi ile tarih içindeki yerini tespit eder. Arkeoloji demekle bundan daha kaba bir kazma işini kastediyoruz. Biz de bu çalışmada, Hüsn ü Aşk’taki manevi yolculuğun yorumuna nasıl arkeolojik bir boyut kazandırabiliriz sorusuna Platon’un Türkçeye Şölen olarak çevrilen Sempozyum’u ile Şeyh Galibin Hüsn ü Aşk’ını karşılaştırarak bir cevap aramaya çalıştık
Platon ve Kur'an'da Mimesisin Mimarisi
Get PDFThe way we understand mimesis is fundamental to epistemology, physics, and representation in political life as well as in the arts. Can truth/reality be copied? The most enduring understanding of what truth and reality are has come to us from Plato, who launched an attack on poetry as false representation of the divine. Although a rarely defined Neoplatonism is routinely attributed to the ninth and tenth-century philosophers who wrote in Arabic, I and others have overlooked how much of Plato there is in the whole of Islamicate literature and culture, beginning with the linguistic environment of the Quran. But it is well known that Plato was revered in historical Islamicate societies; Ibn Sina (Avicenna, d. 1037) and many others referred to him as “the divine Plato,” and considered him a prophet in the monotheistic tradition. There is now a small body of work on mimesis and Islam, but here I will look specifically at Platonic topics found in the Quran with regard to mimesis and poetry, and the kind of methodology needed to appreciate them.Mimesisi anlama biçimimiz, epistemoloji, fizik ve siyasi yaşamda olduğu kadar sanatta da temsil için temel öneme sahiptir. Hakikat/gerçek kopyalanabilir mi? Hakikatin ve gerçekliğin ne olduğu konusundaki en etkili anlayış, ilahi olanın yanlış temsili olarak şiiri eleştiren Platon’dan gelmiştir. Nadiren tanımlanan Yeni Platonculuk, Arapça yazan dokuz ve onuncu yüzyıl filozoflarına rutin olarak atfedilse de ben ve diğerleri, Kur’an-ı Kerim’in dilsel ortamından başlayarak, İslam edebiyatı ve kültürünün tamamında Platon’un ne kadar çok yer aldığını gözden kaçırmışızdır. Ancak Platon’un tarihî İslam toplumlarında saygı gördüğü iyi bilinmektedir. İbn Sina (ö. 1037) ve diğerleri onu “ilahi Platon” olarak adlandırmış ve tek tanrılı gelenekte bir peygamber olarak görmüşlerdir. Mimesis ve İslam üzerine şu anda az sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır ve ben bu çalışmada özellikle Kur’an-ı Kerim’de mimesis ve şiirle ilgili Platonik konulara ve bunları anlamak için gerekli olan yönteme odaklanacağım
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
Plato, fetters round the neck, and the Quran
Get PDFI analyze figures and themes of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” evident in chapter thirty-six of the Quran. I argue that the two texts share (1) a neck fetter fixing the head; (2) a spatial organization of barriers before and behind and cover- ing above; (3) a theme of failure to see the truth and assault upon those who tell the truth, and (4) a theme of transcendent reality as a context of meaning. I argue that the Quran displays an inheritance of some Platonic thought in Arabic at least two centuries prior to any known translation of Plato
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
