    Kavaklidere-Ankara: the Formation of a Residential District During the 1950s
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2015) Resuloglu, Cilga; Ergut, Elvan Altan; Interior Architecture and Environmental Design
    This paper aims to examine the formation of Kayak Were as a 'modern' residential district during the 1950s. Contemporary urbanization brought about changes in various regions of Ankara, among which Kavaklidere emerged as an important location with features that defined a new stage in the development of the identity of the capital city. The construction of houses in this district from the early 1950s onwards was in accordance with new functional requirements resulting from the needs of the contemporary socio-economic context, and exemplified the relationship between architectural approaches and social developments. In line with the rapid urbanization of Ankara throughout the 1950s, daily life in Kavaklidere was transformed, as experienced in the apartment blocks that were the newly constructed sites of modernization. The contemporary transformation of Kavaklidere was apparently formal and spatial, with the modernist architectural approach of the period, i.e. the so-called International Style, beginning to dominate in the shaping of its changing character. Nonetheless, the transformation was not only architectural but also social: the characteristics of this part of the city were then defined by structures like these apartment blocks, which brought modernist design features, together with modern ways of living, into wider public use and appreciation. The paper discusses how the identity of Kavaklidere as a residential district was formed in the context of the mid-twentieth century, when these new residences emerged as pioneering modernist architectural housing, the product of social change, which housed and hence facilitated the 'modern' lifestyle of that time.

    Apokaliptik Romanların Karakteristik Açıdan Karşılaştırmalı Çalışması: Mary Shelley'nin The Last Man'i, H.g. Wells'in The War Of The Worlds'u, John Wyndham'ın The Day Of The Triffids'i ve Jeanette Winterson'ın The Stone Gods'ı

    Bu çalışmanın amacı İngiliz apokaliptik romanlarının karakteristik özelliklerindeki dönüşümü ve bu dönüşümün neden ve sonuçlarını Shelley, Wells, Wyndham ve Winterson'ın romanları üzerinden 1826'dan 2007 yılına kadarki süreçte tartışmaktır. Bu çalışma İngiliz Edebiyatında ilk modern apokaliptik romandan başlayarak seçilen dört romanda resmedilen apokaliptik şartların, unsurların ve güçlerin dönüştüğünü göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu dönüşüm esrarengiz, görünmez ve beden-dışı güçlerden bir grup bilim insanı, tiran kötü karakterlere veya uzaylılara ve nihayet felaketlerden herkesin doğrudan sorumlu olduğu kolektif bir suçluluğa doğru olmuştur. Seçilen romanlar apokaliptik, postkolonyal, posthumanist ve ekokritik yaklaşımların bulgularından yararlanacaktır. Bilim Kurgu eleştirmeni Darko Suvin'in 'biliş, yadırgatma ve yenilik' kavramlarına romanların tartışmasında atıfta bulunulacaktır. Bu çalışma ayrıca seçilen romanları Kermode ve Berger'in apokaliptik teorileri/yazıları ışığında ele alacaktır.
