    In search of a past memory: Istanbul and the politics of memory in Orhan Pamuk’s work
    (Ergon-Verlag, 2022) Kahraman, Hasan Bülent; Rentzsch, Julian; Kučera, Petr
    Orhan Pamuk was born in 1952, and his novels, especially The Black Book, The Museum of Innocence, and A Strangeness in My Mind depict a panorama of Istanbul of the years following his birth. In giving the reader the social, political, and physical picture of Istanbul of the post-1950 period, these novels provide a new politics of memory and even make the politics of memory the central element of all narratives. Taking memory as the central element in his “Istanbul novels”, Pamuk creates mnemonic scenes and images of the city and, with his new approach to the memory politics, tries to replace the “hot memory” in Turkey, which is the memory open to devastations, destructions, and radical changes, with a “cold memory”, that is, a more stable, static memory compiling all the traces of the past and changing very slowly in time. Thus, Pamuk is a path-breaking explicator of the concept of “memory”, writ large. In his books (particularly those published after his first novel Cevdet Bey and His Sons') Istanbul itself plays a pivotal role. Those peculiarities of the city are, for the writer, embedded in the events of the late 19th and early 20th century and in one significant concept, melancholia. To ground his arguments, Pamuk traces Istanbul through the writings of national and international writers. In this article, I argue that melancholia is used for the first time by Pamuk to analyze Istanbul, a point differentiating him from other writers who have written about the city; melancholia is also the concept helping Pamuk to ground his politics of memory. Pamuk’s writing about Istanbul, I argue, is in itself political and critical. The concept pair hot memory-cold memory, which 1 have developed, helps us to understand Pamuk’s political and critical endeavor in his works.

    Naming and nation-building in Turkey: The 1934 surname law
    (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017-01-01) Türköz, Fethiye Meltem
    This book examines how the Turkish Surname Law of 1934 was adopted and reframed in diverse social contexts at a time of top down nationalism. Through historical ethnography, the author explores the genesis of the law, its drafting in parliament, the Turkish Language Reform, and its reception. The project draws from an oral historical narrative, official parliamentary and registry documents, and popular media. © The Editor(s) and The Author(s) 2018.

    Extreme right-wing parties and democracy : The effects of extreme right-wing parties on the politics of consolidated democracies
    (Saarbrücken: Lambert Academic Publishing, 2009-06-21) Celep, Ödül
    There is a widespread concern that the rise of the extreme right parties (ERPs) may disrupt democratic policies in consolidated democracies. The major source of this concern is ERPs' advocacy for authoritarian policies and their grievance about democratic institutions. This study investigates the urgency of this concern by focusing on the possible means by which ERPs are able to affect democratic politics. After determining ERPs and their comparative vote shares, this study examines the individual determinants of voting for them with respect to ideological affinity and political dissatisfaction. The evidence casts doubt on influence through actual or potential vote strength. Therefore the study raises the following question: Is the absence of vote support in many countries a consequence of the established parties having preempted or accommodated the ERPs' appeal by embracing their political demands? The empirical results demonstrate that several established parties have indeed moved rightwards in the last thirty years in a total of 19 consolidated democracies. Therefore, the real threat to democracy has come from the established parties rather than ERPs.

    Genre practices, multimodality and student identities
    (Springer International Publishing, 2022-01-01) Gray, Robert James
    This book offers a novel framework for describing and understanding student identity via the central concept of "genre practices", developed through an empirical focus on multimodality within the genre of English as a medium of instruction (EMI) undergraduate presentations. The author draws on interviews with undergraduate psychology students and recordings of their presentations to argue that by engaging in the multimodal practices of classroom presentations, presenters (re)produce both the genre and their identities as students. The resulting theory of student identity is widely applicable to tertiary settings, and the methodology described is applicable to the study of practices and identity in a range of other classroom genres. The book will therefore be of interest not only to researchers in EMI and TESOL settings, but also any tertiary-level educational practitioners whose courses include presentations.

    Developing organizational maturity for effective project management
    (IGI Global, 2018-03-09) Silvius, A. J.Gilbert; Karayaz, Gamze
    Despite criticism for their serious shortcomings, maturity models are widely used within organizations. The appropriate applications of these models can lead to organizational and corporate success. Developing Organizational Maturity for Effective Project Management is a critical scholarly publication that explores the successes and failures of maturity models and how they can be applied competently to leadership within corporations. Featuring coverage on a wide array of topics such as project management maturity, agile maturity, and organizational performance, this publication is geared toward professionals, managers, and students seeking current research on the application of maturity models to corporate success.

    Bubble dynamics and shock waves
    (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2013-01-01) Delale, Can Fuat
    This volume of the Shock Wave Science and Technology Reference Library is concerned with the interplay between bubble dynamics and shock waves. It is divided into four parts containing twelve chapters written by eminent scientists. Topics discussed include shock wave emission by laser generated bubbles (W Lauterborn, A Vogel), pulsating bubbles near boundaries (DM Leppinen, QX Wang, JR Blake), interaction of shock waves with bubble clouds (CD Ohl, SW Ohl), shock propagation in polydispersed bubbly liquids by model equations (K Ando, T Colonius, CE Brennen. T Yano, T Kanagawa, M Watanabe, S Fujikawa) and by DNS (G Tryggvason, S Dabiri), shocks in cavitating flows (NA Adams, SJ Schmidt, CF Delale, GH Schnerr, S Pasinlioglu) together with applications involving encapsulated bubble dynamics in imaging (AA Doinikov, A Novell, JM Escoffre, A Bouakaz), shock wave lithotripsy (P Zhong), sterilization of ships’ ballast water (A Abe, H Mimura) and bubbly flow model of volcano eruptions ((VK Kedrinskii, K Takayama). The book offers a timely reference for graduate students as well as professional scientists and engineers interested in the interaction of shock waves with bubbles and their propagation properties in bubbly liquids with applications in medical and earth sciences.

    Laplacian eigenvectors of graphs: Perron-Frobenius and Faber-Krahn type theorems
    (Springer Verlag, 2007) Bıyıkoğlu, Türker; Leydold, Josef; Stadler, Peter F.
    Eigenvectors of graph Laplacians have not, to date, been the subject of expository articles and thus they may seem a surprising topic for a book. The authors propose two motivations for this new LNM volume: (1) There are fascinating subtle differences between the properties of solutions of Schrödinger equations on manifolds on the one hand, and their discrete analogs on graphs. (2) “Geometric” properties of (cost) functions defined on the vertex sets of graphs are of practical interest for heuristic optimization algorithms. The observation that the cost functions of quite a few of the well-studied combinatorial optimization problems are eigenvectors of associated graph Laplacians has prompted the investigation of such eigenvectors. The volume investigates the structure of eigenvectors and looks at the number of their sign graphs (“nodal domains”), Perron components, graphs with extremal properties with respect to eigenvectors. The Rayleigh quotient and rearrangement of graphs form the main methodology.
