Publication Metadata only An inquiry into the linkage among nationalizing policies, democratization, and ethno-nationalist conflict: the Kurdish case in Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) N/A; Department of International Relations; Mousseau, Demet Yalçın; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/AThis article analyzes the effects of nationalizing policies of the state, processes of democratization, and uneven socio-economic development on the rise of Kurdish ethno-mobilization led by the PKK terrorist organization since the 1980s in Turkey. Three features of the Turkish modernization context are identified as conducive for the rise and continuation of Kurdish ethno-mobilization: a) a nation-building autocratic state that resisted granting cultural rights and recognition for the Kurds; b) democratization with the exclusion of ethnic politics and rights; c) economic regional inequality that coincided with the regional distribution of the Kurdish population. It is argued that autocratic policies of the state during nation-building accompanied the development of an illiberal democracy and intolerance for cultural pluralism. These aspects of Turkish democracy seem to be incompatible with both the liberal and consociational models of democracy that accommodate ethnicity within multiculturalism.Publication Metadata only An unnoticed regimental diaconus in the correspondence of theodoret of cyrrhus(Franz Steiner Verlag, 2014) Rance, Philip; Researcher; Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED); N/AThis short article examines the textual transmission of a letter written by Theodoret, Bishop of Cyrrhus, in 432/3, in which he remarks that a member of the equites tertii stablesiani had previously delivered his correspondence to an episcopal colleague. Successive modern editors, puzzled by the term diaconum in the unique manuscript, proposed the emendations decanum or decurionem. The latter conjecture is found, unacknowledged, in the most recent edition of Theodoret's letters. Textual, historical and linguistic criteria corroborate the received reading and reveal that, as a result of these Editorial material interventions, an early reference to a deacon serving as a regimental chaplain has been overlooked. Correctly identified and contextualised, Theodoret's courier can take his place in future discussions of clergy within the late Roman army.Publication Metadata only Aristotelian penalties: action-centred rectification and character-centred punishment(Imprint Academic Ltd., 2017) N/A; Department of Philosophy; Platanakis, Charilaos; Faculty Member; Department of Philosophy; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AThis article offers an account of Aristotle’s penology that is sensitive to his corrective justice (EN V.4) and the archon counterexamples (opening of EN V.5). By emphasizing the rectificatory nature of corrective justice, I argue for its independence from its distributive counterpart and its contrast, both formal and functional, with Pythagorean reciprocity. After criticizing the various justifications of the archon counterexamples, I propose a rôle-based justification that is compatible with Aristotelian corrective justice. By eliminating the inconsistency between corrective justice and the archon counterexamples, I distinguish between different types of penalty in Aristotle, action-centred rectification and character-centred punishment, as well as their respective domains and functions.Publication Metadata only Biased perceptions against female scientists affect intentions to get vaccinated for COVID-19(Sage Publications Ltd, 2022) Kuru, Ozan; Yıldırım, Kerem; N/A; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Department of Psychology; Department of International Relations; Doğan, İsminaz; Baruh, Lemi; Cemalcılar, Zeynep; Çarkoğlu, Ali; Master Student; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Department of Psychology; Department of International Relations; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A; 36113; 40374; 125588Based on role congruity theory, we investigated how gender bias may influence public attitudes toward the vaccine in Turkey. Using a between-subjects design, we tested whether an emphasis on the female versus the male scientist as the vaccine's inventor in a news story influenced attitudes about the BioNTech vaccine and vaccination intentions. Partly confirming role congruity theory, three-way interaction results from 665 participants demonstrated that among male participants with a stronger belief in traditional gender roles (compared to males with lower belief), the presence of the female inventor, either by herself or together with the male inventor, decreased the perceived efficacy and safety of the vaccine and reduced intentions to be vaccinated by the BioNTech vaccine. We did not observe such differences for women. These findings highlight how gender bias may influence individuals' information processing and decision making in a way that may have negative consequences for public health.Publication Metadata only Call to piety: the role of Adhan in the shaping Rumi identity and governmental authority(Sage Publications Inc, 2024) Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) / Anadolu Medeniyetleri Araştırma Merkezi (ANAMED)This study aims to reveal the intricacies of individual acoustic communication systems that have operated in Istanbul for years, with a focus on the Muslim call to prayer, adhan. Being the bearers of society's religious, cultural, and social values, the religious signals have always been more than mere sounds and have been held in high regard for centuries. The power they embodied made them an essential subject of the political agenda for any ruling elite. As adhan's symbolic image, both in the minds of Christian and Muslim believers, changed over time any specific religious sound is met with ambivalent reactions. The Ottomans followed a nuanced strategy to control their sonic environment and adhan was one of the primary tools that they have had in hand. Specifically, the study delves into the various ways of reciting adhan as a tool used by the Ottoman government to redraw the social boundaries.Publication Metadata only Fear of small numbers: an essay on the geography anger(Cambridge Univ Press, 2008) N/A; N/A; Kaya, Laura Pearl; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Great catastrophe: Armenians and Turks in the shadow of genocide(Cambridge Univ Press, 2018) Department of History; Polatel, Mehmet; Researcher; Department of History; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/APublication Metadata only Grounded nationalisms: a sociological analysis(Routledge Journals, Taylor and Francis Ltd) Department of Mathematics; Çezik, Onur; Master Student; Department of Mathematics; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Metadata only How solidarity works for welfare: subnationalism and social development in India(Cambridge Univ Press, 2017) Department of International Relations; Aktürk, Şener; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 110043Publication Metadata only Multiculturalism in Turkey: the Kurds and the state(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2021) Department of International Relations; Aktürk, Şener; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 110043
