    Depression, Substance Use and Hiv Risk in a Probability Sample of Men Who Have Sex With Men
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2013) Fendrich, Michael; Avci, Ozgur; Johnson, Timothy P.; Mackesy-Amiti, Mary Ellen
    The persistent HIV epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM) suggests that continued research on factors associated with risky sexual behavior is necessary. Drawing on prior literature, the role of depression and substance use in HIV risk is also inconclusive. Generalizability of past findings may also be limited to the extent that research has not employed probability samples. Here we report on one of the few probability samples of MSM to examine the role of depressive symptoms and substance use on risky sexual behavior (RSB). Multinomial logistic regression analysis suggested that depression and substance use are independently linked to our risk measure, such that those reporting high levels of depressive symptoms or substance use were more likely to report both unprotected receptive anal intercourse and unprotected insertive anal intercourse, and sex with a risky partner. Implications for prevention and treatment are discussed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    The Making of a gecekondulu Identity: Journalistic Representations of the Squatters in Turkey in the 1970s
    (Sage Publications inc, 2014) Avci, Ozgur
    While many studies have undertaken analyses of the socioeconomic and political problems resulting from rural-urban migration in developing nations, few have examined the symbolic challenges presented by this shift. Examining news reports on the most sensational instance of slum demolitions in Turkey that took place in 1977, this study argues that urban squatting and slum dwelling created vital problems of cultural representation. In spite of huge ideological differences among various newspapers, there was a surprising level of consistency in the portrayal of the squatters as a dubious group, devoid of ideological commitment, and a serious threat to society. Such a portrayal of the urban poor as nonideological actors has been dominant worldwide, which overlooks the powerful symbolic challenge that the very existence of this group poses to idealized projects of social change, and hence the potential that their despised (non)identity offers for the development of a more democratic political vision.

    To Go Shopping: Tüketim, Şehir Mekanı, Teknoloji ve Direniş Üzerine Düşünceler
    (Bilim ve Teknoloji, 2012) Avcı, Özgür
    Sanatsal, kültürel veya maddi herhangi bir ürün ya da aktivite ile ilgili, yılın belli bir döneminde düzenlenen şenlikli etkinliklere festival denir. Bu etkinlikler sadece kutlayıcı değil aynı zamanda kutsayıcı bir işlev de görürler. İnsanların, hayatlarında hem pratik hem de sembolik bir değer taşıyan ve ortak kimliklerinin bir parçası olan bu ürünü/aktiviteyi yücelttikleri bir ritüeldir festivali. Periyodik, şenlikli ve kutsayıcı olması dışında, yaygın özelliklerinden biri de gösteri mantığıyla işlemesidir. Festivali oluşturan etkinliklerde, izleyen ve izleneni birbirinden ayıran, geçirgenlik düzeyi değişse bile her zaman var olan bir sınırdan bahsetmek mümkündür.
