| CULT 500 Core Issues in Cultural Studies |
3 Credits |
|
This course introduces the students to the theoretical
frameworks of graduate study in Cultural Studies
by focusing on the debates around the definitions
and uses of the concept of culture as well as on such
specific issues as orientalism/occidentalism, cultural
constructions and contestations of gender and
sexuality, media and popular culture, and the changing
configurations of private and public spheres. It combines
the overview of the major theoretical and methodological
approaches in the field of cultural politics and criticism
with a critical discussion of various applications of
these approaches in specific social, political,
and historical contexts.

3 Credits |

This course is designed to broaden and
deepen the students' understanding of cultural
theories and to develop their ability to think
critically about cultural issues through a sustained
engagement with a selection of works by some
of the major thinkers of the twentieth century. The
questions raised in the course will concern the ways
in which these theories have shaped contemporary
research and pedagogical agendas, the
negotiations and interventions they have enabled,
their social and political contexts, and to what
extent they can "travel" across cultures.

| CULT 520 Technology and Culture |
3 Credits |
|
Aiming to destabilize some of the routine assumptions
about the neutral or autonomous role of technologies,
this course will explore how they are embedded in
social and cultural life. Of special importance is how
conceptions of time and space are shaped through the
interaction of culture and technology. The course will
start with some specific examples of the 'old'
technologies (eg. telephones or radios) to understand
their social uses when they were new. It will
proceed to examine comparable processes in relation
to 'new' technologies (eg. cell phones or home computers).
Throughout, theoretical readings on the link between
old/new technologies and the organization of time
and space as critical dimensions of modernity and
postmodernity will be discussed.

The aim of this course is to explore the cultural/political

We will seek answers to such questions as: How do
transnational media participate in the (re) making of
national and local cultures? How do hegemonic media
texts intersect with real lives of people in different parts
of the world? What kinds of cultural spaces do they
create for resistance, subversion and appropriation,
and for whom? The organizing framework of the course
will be based on three broad headings: a) transnational
media and emergent geographies of power and marginality
b) media production and cultural production
c) mediation of hegemonic meanings and cultural politics.

| CULT 535 Representations of Violence |
3 Credits |
|
Much attention has been devoted in recent years to
understanding violence. As creative works have sought to
document violence and understand its causes, accurate
description and representation have often been deemed
necessary to the process of healing and the prevention of
future violence. At what point, however, do such
representations end up perpetrating violence as they
aestheticize it? And more importantly perhaps, can these
works also suggest solutions to violence? This course
will explore answers to these questions through theoretical
works, as well as through textual and visual representations
of violence. This is a research seminar and requires the
active participation of students in presentations and class
discussions. Graduate students are also expected to carry
out original research towards the final paper. Subject to
these conditions, CULT 535 may be taken for graduate
credit. For the possibility of taking this course at the
undergraduate level see CULT 435.

scholarship, its central questions and shortcomings. We
will also explore the relationship of post-colonialism to
feminist and post-structuralist theory. The course is
designed to facilitate students' engagement with these
different empirical and theoretical approaches
in the light of their experiences and ideas.

| CULT 552 Myth, Art and Politics |
3 Credits |
|
The notions of "myth" and "mythology" acquired a
new meaning at the end of the 18th century.
This "invention" of myth has given birth to the field
of comparative mythology. As the cradle
for the Romantic dreams of a "new mythology",
it became a constant reference for the
theories and philosophies of art in the 19th
and 20th centuries. Finally, it has
become the vade mecum of Nazi politics.
The course explores this modern concept of myth
through a number of texts where the same
questions are broached from different
perspectives. It also aims to examine how the
philological invention of myth presides over
the self-invention of ''ethnographic'' nations and
nationalisms.

3 Credits |
|
This course explores how migratory movements and
attempts at their regulation produce space as well as
scale, and reviews the theoretical constructs (such
as transnationalism and translocalism) that account
for the emergent spatialities of migrant connections.
Topics to be covered include how migrants make
place and negotiate home in their everyday lives,
how experiences of localization vary among cities,
how life in camps may differ from or resemble life in
the city, how states undertake spatial strategies to
deter migrant flows (including excision of territories,
pushbacks of border-crossers and creation of
‘hotspots’), how migration routes come into being
(including through smuggling networks), are
governed and closed off only to be re-channeled
elsewhere, and what moral geographies correspond
to processes of migration by assigning social
legitimacy to particular mobilities

bilingual theater, as well as in the more traditional
genres of literature and poetry, the course looks
at how migrants and their descendents use cultural
work to explore questions of identity,
citizenship and community. The course may include work by
migrants in and across Europe, the Americas, Asia
or Africa; it will also look at the transnational
connections migrants make among these different
spaces. Students are encouraged to discover and
analyze new cultural production in any media, using
the theoretical resources developed
over the semester.

used to study such cities. It explores how city spaces and
cultures are constituted, divided and contested, by focusing
such topics as: colonial landspaces of power and exclusion,
modernist projects of urban renewal and dislocation,
'post-modern' spaces of spectacle and consumption,
ghettoes of affluence and poverty, ethnic divisions of labor
and informal economies behind the facades of the global
capital.

| CULT 560 Cultures and Politics of Law Reform |
3 Credits |
|
Law reform is often seen as a technical issue that involves
the transplantation of existing 'successful' models into
new social contexts. Our course begins with a theoretical
questioning of this common sense view of 'models'
and 'prescriptions'. We will try to rethink the context of
law reform as a field of social relations that enable
multiple actors to construct a variety of cultural meanings
and enter into power struggles with each other. Our
discussions will revolve around case studies - from Turkey,
Middle East, Eastern Europe and Latin America - that
involve particular proposals and actions of law reform. We
will examine the actors, their interests, the cultural
idiom through which they transmit those interests, and
whatemerges out of their contestations. In this way we
will try to develop a dynamic, culturally and politically
informed understanding of law reform.

This course will introduce students to the study
of oral history. Oral histories are spoken
memories about the past recorded by oral
historians in a dialogue with individuals providing
testimony. The study of oral history allows us
to examine events and experiences not
recorded by history (based on the study of written
documents), as well as to analyze and interpret
the meaning of events and experiences to individuals
in the present. In this course, students will learn
the techniques of doing oral history, read selected
case studies, and conduct an oral
history project of their own.

| CULT 562 Memory Studies |
3 Credits |
|
In recent years, memory has become one of the
most widely debated issues in the social sciences.
While modernity focused largely on the future, how
do we explain the enormous preoccupation with
the past in the postmodern era? This course will pose
some answers to this question. Beginning with a look at the
way memory operates, the course will review major debates
on memory in diverse fields such as psychology, sociology,
and history. It will then focus on particular themes,
including memory's relationship to place, identity, trauma,
narrative, commemoration, media and the body. The
course will rely on a number of case studies, including
studies of memory in Turkey.

| CULT 570 Everyday Life |
3 Credits |
|
What is everyday life? Is it a routine that we take
for granted and have a difficult time to take an
analytical distance from, or is it critical in
informing our identity and subjectivity? How does
what we do in our everyday life shape who we
are and where we belong? How do different
conceptions of time and space, and
philosophical debates on public/private and
nature/nurture play a role in these processes?
This course is designed to broaden and deepen
the students’ understanding of everyday life,
based on relevant social sciences and
humanities literature across different time
periods and cultural contexts, starting from the
capitalist societies in 19th century Europe. It will
also cover how the major developments in the
first two decades of the 2000s, such as
digitalization, virtual reality, new social
movements and the COVID-19 pandemic have
changed our everyday life and our
conceptualizations of it.

dynamics; 2) To learn about alternative forms of
being and knowing that challenge common
anthropocentric thinking; 3) To develop familiarity

the global and local environmental problems, policies,
and social movements.
