    Armenian identity in the Turkish and American documentaries through images
    (2017-10-06) Şeylan, Seher
    While cinema carrying the social values of past to present, it is also leading up the embodiment of the dominant perception shapes the present. In this regard, the representation of reality has much importance in the documentaries which particularly have culture, identity and belonging bonding. Documentary, as a part of its difference from fiction in line with reconstruction of reality, is a cultural product. While this product emerges, the reality is often interpreted with stereotypes, prejudices, negative political, cultural and social images. The identity representation about „we? or „other? is reflected with various events, connections and the past. On the other hand, the using of past of social groups, for supporting the ideas they believe in and achieving their goals, has a great role in terms of expressing their opinions in public. At this point documentaries are the areas where the producer-director reveals his/her opinions and emotions. Those personal feellings and opinions are often reflection of collective memory shaped by data of social past. The aim of this study is to analyze on which images the Armenian identity is constructed in the American and Turkish documentaries and the shaping of the representation of Armenian identity on what kind of rhetorics and visuals. Armenian identity will be examined from the perspective of imagology by the method of discourse analysis. Any intangible and tangible image that is used to represent the Armenian identity will be solved with the help of the discourse analysis. In this study, where the image, which contains a fictional structure is used to represent the Armenian identity, the references made by the director while using images to the past, history and values of the community he/she is in, are accepted as the main source of the analysis. It has showed that the perception, brought with historical events contains tension and conflict between Turks and Armenians from 18th to present, is reflected in the cultural products.

    Transmission of spatial experience in the context of sustainability of urban memory
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-11) Cankurt Semiz, Sedef Nur; Özsoy, Fatma Ahsen
    Urban memory involves the re-creation of a city’s physical, historical, social, and cultural elements in the memories of its inhabitants. However, urban transformation and commercial tourism-oriented projects may threaten the continuity of this memory. This study aims to provide an understanding of the relationship between urban memory and spatial experience while exploring how urban memory elements convey meanings to daily users and local inhabitants of a touristic settlement. The research focuses on Misi Village in Bursa, Turkey, a settlement with a 2000-year history known for its traditional architecture and natural beauty. Over the past two decades, local authorities have pursued extensive restoration projects to rebrand Misi Village as an Art and Tourism Village. The research employs the oral history method, focusing on two user groups: tourists and locals. The findings reveal that while tourists appreciate Misi Village for its natural beauty and recreational activities, they lack a deeper understanding of its history and the transformation of its identity. Instead, they mostly focus on commerce-oriented spatial experiences. In contrast, local residents emphasize daily life and traditional practices as they strive to sustain their livelihoods. By highlighting this difference, strategic planning is proposed to preserve Misi Village’s unique urban memory and promote sustainable, culturally centered tourism.
