- MakaleAçık Erişim2022Mimetic Desire and Scapegoating Mechanisms in Martin Amis’s “The Last Days of Muhammad Atta”
Güneş, Mustafa
René Girard, the French sacrifice theory doyen, bases her sacrifice and scapegoat arguments on cultural and literary representations and claims an end for the sacrificial rites and scapegoating mechanism in cultures and narratives after the exposition and deciphering of the stereotypes of persecution with Christianity. However, by referring to René Girard’s sacrifice theory, this study aims to argue that one of the greatest yet also most notorious writers of English fiction, Martin Amis, who recurrently touches upon such issues in his texts as racism, sexism, wars, capitalism, and terrorism, implies a modern enactment of the mechanism of mimetic desire and scapegoating in a literary work, that is “The Last Days of Muhammad Atta,” which revolves around the last days of one of the terrorists of 9/11. Amis’s short fiction will be subjected to a close reading so as to argue that despite Amis’s interviews and arguments associating terrorism with Islam and the Orient, the text deconstructs Amis’s allegations against Islamism and the Oriental, and when Amis’s text is considered as a modern and multi-layered representation of mechanisms of mimetic desire and scapegoating, the violence and terrorism are revealed to be issues which cannot solely be identified with a single milieu or a group nonchalantly. Instead, it will be clearly seen that the core drive for humans has always been the will to power and to ensure authority over the other throughout the centuries, whether it be primitive tribes, or civilized groups, or modern governments and nations, and such concentrations as a nation, community, or religion further worked to give their civilized members a cause to satisfy the primitive tendency to violence and carnage surviving in their repressed collective unconscious.

Taşdelen, Birgül; Eroğlu, Dilek Turan; Taşlı, Hande
İzleyicilerle iletişim, kurumsal stratejinin merkezi bir odağı haline gelmiştir. Bir kurumu daha şeffaf hale getiren herhangi bir iletişim, paydaşların faaliyetlerini daha sağlıklı bir şekilde değerlendirmesini sağlayarak iyi bir itibar kazanmalarını neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada sosyo-demografik özelliklerin kâr amacı gütmeyen kurumlar arasında yer alan ve kamu hizmeti yayıncılığı yapan TRT’nin kurumsal itibarını oluşturmadaki rolü tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. TRT’nin kurumsal itibar algısını RepTrak ölçeğinden faydalanılarak ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlayan bu araştırma, Karadeniz bölgesinde yaşayan ve kolayda örneklem yoluyla belirlenen 385 kişiyle veri toplama aracı kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda başarılı itibar yönetimi özellikle evli kadın katılımcılar arasında anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu görülmektedir. Analiz yenilikçilik ve vatandaşlık alt boyut puanlarının yüksek eğitimli katılımcılar için önemli olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca kurumun itibar algısının aylık geliri 2001-5000TL arası olan katılımcılar arasında daha yüksektir. Ulaşılan sonuçlar doğrultusunda, izleyicilerin TRT’nin yenilikçi yaklaşımı ve vatandaşlığa yönelik uygulamalarıyla kurumsal entegrasyonunu ve kurumsal sadakatini pekiştirdiği söylenebilir.

Taşçıoğlu, Raci; Sarıhan, Zekeriya
Bugün iletişim teknolojilerinde yaşanan gelişmeler ve ilerlemelerle geleneksel medyanın yerini sosyal medyanın aldığı görülmektedir. Bu değişim ve dönüşüm insan ilişkilerinde yeni olanaklar ortaya çıkarsa da, bir takım olumsuzlukları da beraberinde getirmiştir. Teknolojik gelişmelerle birlikte sosyal medya kullanımındaki artış bu mecralarda yayılan bilgilerin doğruluğunun sorgulanmasına sebep olmuştur. Sosyal medyada özgürce içerik üretilip paylaşılırken, bu içeriklerin doğruluğu ya da yalan-sahte bilgiler içerip içermediği herhangi bir denetime tabi olmadığından rahatlıkla bireyleri yanıltabilmektedir. Politik alanda derin kutuplaşmanın ortaya çıkmasıyla birlikte sahte-yalan bilgilerin hızla dolaşıma sokulması ve diğer aday ya da partiyi karalamaya yönelik çabaların arttığı görülmektedir. Böylesine bir ortamda bireyler kendi fikirleriyle aynı yönde olan bilgileri yanlış olduklarını bilseler dahi yoğun bir şekilde dolaşıma sokma gayreti içerisindedir.\r1990’lı yıllarla birlikte literatüre giren post-truth kavramıyla gerçekliklerin ötesine geçerek, duygu yüklü anlamlandırmayla gerçekliklerin üstünün örtülmeye çalışıldığı bir döneme girilmiştir. Bu yeni dönem kuşkusuz politik alanda da kendine yer bularak, sosyal medyayla birlikte önemli bir boyuta ulaşmıştır. Siyasi çekişmelerin ve kutuplaşmaların ortaya çıkması bu süreci hızlandırarak politik aktörlerin kendi tabanlarını konsolite etmek ve rakiplerini zor duruma düşürmek amacıyla olayları saptırıp bağlamından kopararak ve onlara duygusal anlamlar yükleyerek yeni yapay bir gerçeklik oluşturmaya çalışmaktadırlar. Kuşkusuz araştırıp sorgulamaktan kaçınan bir toplumsal yapının inşası bu durumun oluşumuna zemin hazırlamıştır. \rBu çalışmanın amacı, hakikat ötesi çağda sahte-yanlış haberlerin politik söylemler kullanılarak bireylerin duygularına hitap edecek şekilde dolaşıma sokulmalarının yansımalarını ortaya koymaktır. Çalışma Yeni İnfaz Düzenlemesine ilişkin 14-21 Nisan 2020 tarih aralığında Twitter’da dolaşıma sokulan paylaşımlar veri analiz yöntemlerinden olan betimsel analiz tekniğiyle incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada bireyleri duygusal açıdan etkileyen sahte haberlerin dolaşıma sokulması, bireylerin rasyonel karar vermesinde ve onları yönlendirmesinde rolü olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Hakkıoğlu, Mümin
Son iki yüz yıl, bilimin, toplumdaki algıyı evirebilme becerisiyle ve başka odaklarla kurduğu ilişkileri lehine çevirebilme kapasitesiyle, mutlak hakikati temsil eden bir güç olarak varoluşuna tanıklık etmiştir. Bu dönemde bilim kendisini dayatan dolaylı bir iktidara dönüşmüştür. Sözü edilen dolaylılık, bilimin bir ideoloji olarak toplumsal yapıyı düzenleyen siyasal erki kuşatmasındandır. Refleksif ve süreğen bir seyir izleyen bilim-iktidar ilişkisinin bilimin kontrolünde ilerlediği söylenebilir. Bilgiye kaynaklık eden ve hakikati biçimlendirebilen bilim, bu gücünü yalnızca yaptığı çalışmalardan, elde ettiği sonuçlardan ve başka erklerle kurduğu ilişkilerden değil hakikate yönelik oluşturduğu algıdan da alır. Bu yönüyle düzenleyici, kolaylaştırıcı fakat aynı zamanda insan doğasını bozacak potansiyele sahip korkutucu bir güçtür. XX. yüzyıl İngiliz yazınının önde gelen yazarlarından olan Aldous Huxley de bilimin bu yanına dikkati çekmiş, söz konusu çalışmaların kontrolden çıkınca insanlık için büyük bir tehdide dönüşebileceğini göstermiştir. Cesur Yeni Dünya Huxley’nin olası tehlikeye karşı okurlarını uyardığı en bilinen yapıtıdır. Baştan sona bilimsel süreçlerle tasarımlanmış bir toplumu resmeden roman, insanlığa refah ve mutluluk getirmek amacıyla çıkılan yolda bireylerin bir proje nesnesine indirgenerek yapaylığa mahkûm edilişini anlatır. Bu çalışma, Cesur Yeni Dünya’daki bilim, iktidar ve hakikat ilişkisini sorgulamakta ve romanda anlatılan distopik düzenin işleyişini belirleyenin siyasal iktidarın araçsallaştırdığı bilim değil bizzat o iktidarı kuşatan bilimin kendisi olduğunu savlamaktadır. Öte yandan, bilimin, bu dolaylı iktidarında, hakikati tekelleştirmesine bağlı olarak alternatifleri nasıl hiçleştirdiğini ve kendi hakikatini nasıl inşa ettiğini göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda, bilimin mutlaklaştırıldığı romanın fütüristtik dünyasında, insan dâhil yaşamın her formunun projelendirildiğine vurgu yapılmakta ve hakikatin de “hakikat mühendisliği” diye adlandırılabilecek benzer bir sürece tabi tutulduğu ileri sürülmektedir.

Taşçıoğlu, Raci; Sarıhan, Zekeriya
2002 Genel Seçimleri siyasi tarihimizde önemli değişikliklerin yaşanmasına sebep olurken bu seçim döneminde siyasal reklamlar seçim sürecinin en etkin araçlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Bu dönemde partiler ve adaylar yayınlattıkları siyasal reklamlar ile seçmenlerin tercihlerini etkilemeyi ve kendilerine oy vermeleri konusunda onları ikna etmeyi amaçlamıştır. Bu açıdan her seçimde olduğu gibi hiç şüphesiz ki bu seçimde de siyasal reklamlar çeşitli kitle iletişim araçlarında özellikle de gazetelerde yoğun bir şekilde kullanılmıştır.Gazete siyasal reklamlarının konu edinildiği bu araştırmanın amacı, 3 Kasım 2002 Genel Seçimlerinde siyasi partilerin farklı yayın politikalarına sahip gazetelerde yayımlanan reklamlarını incelemek olup, bu reklamların türünü ve hangi konular üzerine yoğunlaştığını tespit etmektir. Betimleyici bir yaklaşıma sahip olan bu çalışma, Türk siyasal tarihinde tek partili yeni bir iktidar döneminin başlangıcı olan bu seçim sürecinde merkez sağ ve solda yer alan çeşitli siyasal partilerin kampanyalarında kullandıkları reklamları karşılaştırmalı bir biçimde ele alması nedeniyle önemlidir. Çalışmada, dönemin önde gelen partileri olan Anavatan Partisi (ANAP), Doğru Yol Partisi (DYP), Demokratik Sol Parti (DSP), Milliyetçi Hareket Partisi (MHP), Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (CHP) yanında bu seçimler öncesi kurulan ve seçimlere damga vuran Genç Partinin (GP) 15-26 Ekim 2002 tarihleri arasında ulusal basın evreninde farklı yayın politikalarına sahip Hürriyet, Sabah, Radikal ve Yeni Şafak gazeteleri örnekleminde yayımlanan reklamları içerik analizi yöntemiyle karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Söz konusu gazetelere yönelik arşiv taraması neticesinde siyasi partilerle ilgili toplam 94 siyasal reklama ulaşılırken, tür açısından pozitif ve negatif reklamların yarı yarıya olduğu ve bu reklamlarda ağırlıkla iç politika ve ekonomi konularının öne çıktığı bulgulanmıştır.

Gürdal, Elif; Ince, Fuat
After the overthrow of the Gaddafi administratio, UN and NATO intervention in Libyan lands took place, and then a political multi-headed structure emerged. Shortly before the overthrow of the Gaddafi administration, energy reserves of which workability was discovered have emerged in the Eastern Mediterranean. This discovery has been an important factor of the political confusion and the effort to carry out the power struggle between states through Libya. Greece tries to be effective in the political authority that is tried to be created in Libya and tries to passivate Turkey in the Aegean and the Mediterranean. In this power struggle, Turkey signed the Delimitation of The Maritime Jurisdiction Areas in The Mediterranean and Military Cooperation Agreements with the National Government of Accord in Libya both to respond to the defense of the Aegean land and sea areas occupied by Greece, to protect the jurisdiction rights in the Eastern Mediterranean and to protect the maritime jurisdictions belonging to the TRNC. These agreements disturbed other states in the region who were struggling for power. Therefore, the EU declared itself authority to control the arms embargo requested by the UN on Libya and launched the IRINI operation. However, the IRINI operation is seen as an attempt to squeeze Turkey in the Mediterranean region. In the light of these information and researches, this study is a qualitative research that handles Turkey's Eastern Mediterranean and Libya approach th

Recepoglu, Mursit; Doganay, Muharrem Akin; Deger, Mustafa Kemal
The state plays an essential role in the survival of companies under today's global competition conditions. Governments can, directly and indirectly, affect the competitiveness of firms through incentives and public investment expenditures. This study examines the relations between investment incentives, public investment expenditures and exports at the provincial level in Turkey. According to the panel causality analysis findings covering the period 2002-2017, there is a two-way causal relationship between investment incentives and exports. On the other hand, there is a one-way causality from exports to public investment expenditures. These results indicate the importance of the effects of incentives on exports in the short term. However, the absence of the expected export effects of public investments can be attributed to inefficiency in public investments.

Demirbaǧ, Orkun; Demirbaǧ, Kübra Simşek; Batl, Gülgönül Bozoǧlu
Purpose: Because of the growing interest in the literature in education and political skill as facilitators of firm performance, this article aims to reveal whether there is a moderating role of women entrepreneurs' political skill on the relationship between their education level and firm performance when firm- and entrepreneur-level characteristics remain under control. Methodology: The study was conducted in Istanbul, Kocaeli, and Bursa, cities with the lowest gender gap in Turkey. The participants of the questionnaires were 291 entrepreneurs who are members of the Women Entrepreneurs Association of Turkey (KAGIDER), the Women Entrepreneur Members of Endeavor Turkey, and the TOBB Women Entrepreneurs. Hierarchical regression analysis was performed to analyze the dataset. Findings: When firm- and the entrepreneur-level characteristics remain under control, women entrepreneurs' political skill shows a moderator role in the relationship between women entrepreneurs' education level and firm performance. Practical Implications: A bachelor's degree or higher, along with political skill, allow women entrepreneurs to increase their firm performance. Furthermore, the higher the political skill, the higher the effect of education level on firm performance. Originality/Value: This is the first study to investigate the moderating role of political skill of women entrepreneurs in the relationship between education level and firm performance. Moreover, political influence and human capital theories are jointly applied to the theoretical model.

Döner, Fatih
In Turkey, according to Pasture Law, land allocated for farmers to spend the summer with their animals, graze their animals and benefit from grass is defined as “summer pasture (yaylak in Turkish).” Summer pasture is of national importance for its biodiversity, landscape, cultural heritage and transhumance. However, especially after 1990s, the summer pasture areas have been extensively used in tourism activities in Turkey. By changing land use, the increasing tourism activities combined with legal uncertainties and the legalization policies have caused summer pasture areas transferred into built-up areas. The effect of the tourism and legalization policies on the land use changes in summer pasture areas was evaluated in this study. It was determined that Turkey's tourism and legalization policies have adverse effect on sustainable use of summer pasture areas. These policies aimed at economic development and solving property problems of rural areas caused new legal problems and expansion of built-up areas. A better land use policy and an effective control mechanism are necessary for the sustainable use of summer pasture areas.

Genemo, Musa Dima
Video processing is getting special attention from research and industries. The existence of smart surveillance cameras with high processing power has opened the for making it conceivable to design intelligent visual surveillance systems. Know a day it is very possible to assure invigilators safety during the examination period. This work aims to distinguish the suspicious activities of students during the exam for surveillance examination halls. For this, a 63 layers deep CNN model is suggested and named "L4-BranchedActionNet". The suggested CNN structure is centered on the alteration of VGG-16 with added four blanched. The developed framework is initially turned into a pre-trained framework by using the SoftMax function to train it on the CUI-EXAM dataset. The dataset for detecting suspicious activity is subsequently sent to this pre-trained algorithm for feature extraction. Feature subset optimization is applied to the deep features that have been obtained. These extracted features are first entropy coded, and then an ant colony system (ACS) is used to optimize the entropy-based coded features. The configured features are then input into a variety of classification models based on SVM and KNN. With a performance of 0.9299 in terms of accuracy, the cubic SVM gets the greatest efficiency scores. The suggested model was further tested on the CIFAR-100 dataset, and it was shown to be accurate to the tune of 0.89796. The result indicates the suggested frameworks soundness.

This study responds to a polemic on Indonesia’s formalization of Islamic law, which is inseparable from the dynamics of political authority and the internal views of Muslims. It seeks to describe, explore, construct, and analyze the Indonesianization of Islamic law, as proposed by Kamsi, an Islamic law professor at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University of Yogyakarta, as one of the efforts to make Islamic law become the national law. The Indonesianization of Islamic law, namely by legislating or codifying Islamic law through the state system so that it is enforceable in Indonesia. This study is conceptual research using a legal philosophy approach to comprehend an Islamic legal thought from a sharia scholar using the content analysis method. The results of this study show that the concept of Indonesianisation of Islamic Law uses a modern knowledge system as the paradigm. This effort seeks to nationally legalize Islamic law through Indonesian legal instruments that can give birth to inclusiveness and tolerance coupled with pluralism with differentiation in unification. Its theoretical implication emphasizes a need for epistemological and axiological adjustments to realize the concept of Indonesianization of Islamic law. The idea should also apply nationally within the framework of Pancasila (the Indonesian state’s ideology) as a democratic country.

Gürdal, Elif
National Security Strategy documents are the roadmaps that the USA envisages in the environment defined as the new world order after the Cold War. These strategy documents, which were published for the first time in the Reagan period show which political approach will be taken. These reports are based on the importance of the necessary security poli- cies of that period. Here, it is possible to deduce the elements that the USA sees as a threat to itself. This work chronologically discusse China, which the USA saw as a strategic partner in the early 1990s, but defined as a stra- tegic competitor, sometimes even an enemy, and sometimes an unstable risk factor in the last decade through strategy documents. As a method, the National Security Strategy reports published nineteen times since 1987 were examined through the transformation and reasons of the policies envi- saged to be applied to China. These reasons were investigated through the understanding of hegemony. Therefore, the study is a qualitative research that aims to reveal a relational connection, in which documents are used as a source. The main purpose is to find out how China’s post-Cold War rise was reflected in the strategy documents in the context of security and how it caused an American reaction in the Strategy Documents in power competition. Here, it is seen that there is a connection between the power regression of the hegemonic actor and the incentives for participation in the hegemonic order it leads. The new hegemonic leader may emerge from friendly countries, which are encouraged by hegemon actor for hegemonic order, rather than rivals with long-term power competition.
