Publication Metadata only His master's voice, her jokes: voice and gender politics in the performance of Rakugo(Wiley, 2022) N/A; Şahin, Esra-Gökçe; Other; N/A; N/AThis article explores the role of voice and voicing as a gendered construct in the performance of rakugo in Japan. Rakugo is a traditional genre of comedic storytelling, performed by a single actor. The genre sets a nostalgic tone for the simplicity of life in preindustrial Tokyo, through portrayals of foolishness and mockery of various human situations. A great majority of the rakugo performers are men. Despite the fact that rakugo is characterized with a technique of cross gender vocalization, rakugo performers state that the female voice is considered unsuitable for vocalizing the protagonists in rakugo stories. On the basis of ethnographic data gained from participant observation, and my own apprenticeship under a prominent rakugo master, I investigate the role of female voice as a "speaker" in the Bakhtinian "double-voiced discourse" of rakugo. The female voice is considered unsuitable to perform rakugo well, because women are denied the agency to reciprocate the androcentric ideology that views the genre as exclusively male authored.Publication Metadata only Parasite infection at the early farming community of Çatalhöyük(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2019) Ledger, Marissa L.; Anastasiou, Evilena; Mitchell, Piers D.Shillito, Lisa-Marie; Mackay, Helen; Bull, Ian D.; Knusel, Christopher J.; Haddow, Scott Donald; Researcher; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AThe early village at Catalhoyuk (7100-6150 BC) provides important evidence for the Neolithic and Chalcolithic people of central Anatolia. This article reports on the use of lipid biomarker analysis to identify human coprolites from midden deposits, and microscopy to analyse these coprolites and soil samples from human burials. Whipworm (Trichuris trichiura) eggs are identified in two coprolites, but the pelvic soil samples are negative for parasites. Catalhoyuk is one of the earliest Eurasian sites to undergo palaeoparasitological analysis to date. The results inform how intestinal parasitic infection changed as humans modified their subsistence strategies from hunting and gathering to settled farming.Publication Metadata only New tin mines and production sites near Kültepe in Turkey: a third-millennium BC highland production model(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2015) Kulakoglu, Fikri; Yazgan, Evren; Kontani, Ryoichi; Hayakawa, Yuichi S.; Lehner, Joseph W.; Ozturk, Guzel; Johnson, Michael; Kaptan, Ergun; Hacar, Abdullah; Department of Archeology and History of Art; N/A; Türkkan, Kutlu Aslıhan; Arıkan, Gonca Dardeniz; Faculty Member; PhD Student; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; N/AAn unexpected new source of tin was recently located at Hisarcik, in the foothills of the Mount Erciyes volcano in the Kayseri Plain, close to the Bronze Age town of Kultepe, ancient Kanesh and home to a colony of Assyrian traders. Volcanoes in Turkey have always been associated with obsidian sources but were not known to be a major source of heavy metals, much less tin. X-ray fluorescence analyses of the Hisarcik ores revealed the presence of minerals suitable for the production of complex copper alloys, and sufficient tin and arsenic content to produce tin-bronze. These findings revise our understanding of bronze production in Anatolia in the third millennium BC and demand a re-evaluation of Assyrian trade routes and the position of the Early Bronze Age societies of Anatolia within that network.Publication Metadata only A petrographic study of selected soils/sediments from sixth millennium BCE levels of the Tell Kurdu site: a contribution to the definition of technosols(Springer Heidelberg, 2020) Akca, Erhan; Kadir, Selahattin; Kapur, Selim; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Özbal, Rana; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 55583N/APublication Metadata only At empires' edge: project Paphlagonia - regional survey in north-central Turkey(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2011) N/A; Blaylock, Stuart; Reseacher; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); N/A; N/APublication Metadata only Reconstructing feast provisioning at Halaf Domuztepe: evidence from radiogenic strontium analyses(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Gordon, Gwyneth W.; Knudson, Kelly J.; N/A; Lau, Hannah Kwai-Yung; Researcher; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (RCAC) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); N/A; N/AThe role of animal economies, and particularly the provisioning of feasts, in supporting the rise and maintenance of social complexity are topics of global interest in anthropology. This study investigates how people chose to provision feasts during the late Neolithic Halaf Period in Northern Mesopotamia (ca. 6000-5300 cal. BCE). Zooarcheological assemblages from the Halaf site of Domuztepe (ca. 6000-5450 cal. BCE), located in southeastern Turkey, offer an opportunity to investigate these phenomena. Radiogenic strontium isotope data derived from teeth from livestock (sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs) recovered from both domestic trash and the refuse from large-scale feasting events provide important proxy evidence for ancient peoples' provisioning of feasts and their coordination in animal resource production. Results indicate that animals consumed at feasts were drawn from the same herded population that fed inhabitants at the site daily. This has important social implications for feast organizers, whose choices would affect the community beyond the individual feast event.Publication Metadata only Europe knows nothing about the orient: a critical discourse from the East (1872-1932)(Routledge Journals, Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2022) N/A; N/A; Müldür, Sezen Kayhan; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Trust and gender in a transnational market: the public culture of Laleli, İstanbul(Duke Univ Press, 2004) Department of Sociology; Yükseker, Hatice Deniz; Faculty Member; Department of Sociology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/A
