Publication Metadata only Media in new Turkey: the origins of an authoritarian neoliberal state(Cambridge Univ Press, 2017) N/A; N/A; Müldür, Sezen Kayhan; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Metadata only The building as screen: a history, theory and practice of massive media(Taylor and Francis Ltd) N/A; N/A; Müldür, Sezen Kayhan; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Metadata only The proliferation of alternative film exhibition spaces in Istanbul: cultural segregation and urban cinephilia(Taylor & Francis, 2020) N/A; N/A; Müldür, Sezen Kayhan; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AIn the last decade, Istanbul witnessed the rapid proliferation of alternative film exhibition spaces such as museums, cafes, art and cultural centres in specific neighbourhoods. This increase is a result of mostly three forces: the monopoly of dominant distribution companies, authoritarian pressure of the government and urban transformation in Istanbul. These places provide space for censored films and are essentially important for independent and experimental films as well as documentaries and short films which have very limited or no theatrical release. On the other hand, their concentration in specific districts and that they target the audience with certain cultural capital is aggregate hierarchical clusters. Through analysing these alternative exhibition spaces in Istanbul, this study investigates the changing relationship between film exhibition, audience and the city. It discovers how urban transformation, authoritarian cultural policies and economic capital changed cinema-going and urban cinephilia in Istanbul. It suggests that while these alternative film exhibiton venues provide space for independent filmmakers, festivals and censored films, they also articulate to social hierarchy and cultural segregation.Publication Metadata only Open-air cinemas of Istanbul from the 1950s to today(Sage Publications inc, 2021) N/A; N/A; Müldür, Sezen Kayhan; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AThis article explores open-air cinema spectatorship in Istanbul from the 1950s to the contemporary era. Since the 1990s, literary authors, Actors, and film critics have been depicting open-air cinemas in their memoirs with a certain sense of nostalgia. This nostalgic sentiment is largely driven by multiplex cinemas, which have changed the spectatorship experience in Istanbul. Besides the post-1980s urban gentrification that led to the building of multiplexes, Istanbul's cinema-going urbanites encountered a similar, yet less frequently discussed, experience of urban gentrification around the 1950s. This research first examines how urban gentrification projects caused the disappearance of open-air cinemas after the 1950s. It then explores how today's nostalgic conception of open-air cinemas was formed, and how it is commodified in the new luxury open-air cinemas in hotels, Art centers, and shopping malls.Publication Metadata only Istanbul open city: exhibiting anxieties of urban modernity(Sage Publications Inc, 2018) N/A; N/A; Müldür, Sezen Kayhan; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AN/APublication Metadata only Postmodern urbanization and the creative economy: media Iidustries in Istanbul(Toplum Araştırmaları Merkezi, 2020) N/A; N/A; Müldür, Sezen Kayhan; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AThe leading edges of innovation and growth in the twenty-first century is made up of sectors such as high-technology industry, business and financial services and cultural industries. Agglomeration of these industries in different parts in the city, pushed the regional economies of the regions that these industries are located. These cores are usually spread around the city (like in Los Angeles) with the urban growth and postmodern urbanization. Like other metropoles, Istanbul has also witnessed a big change related to creative industries in the last two decades. Media production, one of the largest and most dominant branches of the creative industries, had a significant impact on the urban change in Istanbul. This study will focus on the relation between postmodern urbanization and creative economy and will explore the development of creative industries in Istanbul with the focus on media production. In addition, the competition between creative cities and the positive and negative aspects of this competition in terms of the development of regional economies will be discussed. / Yirmi birinci yüzyılda ekonomik büyüme ve inovasyonun önde gelen alanları; yüksek teknoloji endüstrileri, ticaret, finansal hizmetler ve kültürel sektörler olmuştur. Bu endüstrilere alan açan şehirler, bölgesel ekonomilerini geliştirme şansı elde etmiş ve yerel yönetimler tarafından desteklenmişlerdir. Bu nedenle şehirlerin yaratıcı nüfusu çekebilmesi ve bölgelerinde yaratıcı merkezlere sahip olması önemli hale gelmiştir. Postmodern kentleşme ile bağlantılı olarak yaratıcı endüstri alanları genellikle (Los Angeles’taki gibi) şehrin çeşitli bölgelerine yayılmışlardır. Bu dönüşüm endüstriyel kentin tek bir merkez etrafında yoğunlaştığını yapıdan post-endüstriyel kente; sektörlerin dağınık ve birden çok merkezleri olduğu yapıya geçişi de göstermektedir. Diğer büyük şehirler gibi, İstanbul da son yıllarda şehirde yaratıcı endüstrilerin gelişmesi ile birlikte çeşitli değişimlere uğramıştır. İstanbul’da yaratıcı ekonominin lokomotifi olan medya endüstrilerinin kentsel dönüşüm üzerinde önemli bir etkisi vardır. Bu çalışma, postmodern kentleşme ile yaratıcı ekonomi arasındaki ilişkiye odaklanarak İstanbul'daki yaratıcı endüstrilerin gelişimini medya üretimi üzerinden ele almaktadır. Ayrıca yaratıcı şehirler arasındaki rekabet ve bu rekabetin bölgesel ekonomilerin gelişimi açısından olumlu ve olumsuz yönleri de tartışılacaktır.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/A
