Yedisu Bölgesi Kurganlarının Tarihi ve Kültürel Açıdan Değerlendirilmesi
(Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2026) Gülşah Çoban Akkıyal; Tarih
Inner Asia has historically served as a dynamic crucible of intense political, cultural, and ethnic mobility, functioning as the primordial homeland for nomadic societies such as the Turks and Mongols. Characterized primarily by pastoralism and seasonal migrations between summer and winter pastures, these steppe communities utilized portable tents as their most practical adaptation to nomadic life. Concurrently, recent archaeological excavations demonstrate that urban traditions also emerged within this nomadic landscape, beginning as early as the Saka period. This regional dynamism and socio-economic prosperity were profoundly catalyzed by the Great Silk Road, which expanded trade volumes, diversified social capacities, and funded monumental architecture alongside the exceptionally rich funerary contexts discovered today.
Representing all these dense historical characteristics, the Yedisu (Semirechye) region, encompassing a vast territory in southeastern Kazakhstan, stands out as a critical transit zone and a cultural hub for travelers and merchants alike. Consequently, the area preserves an extraordinary abundance of archaeological, written, and architectural remains, including ancient cities, fortresses, graves, tombstones, rock paintings, balbals, and stone statues.
This thesis focuses specifically on the kurgans of the Yedisu region, which constitute the richest repository of archaeological data available for tracing the developmental trajectory of Turkic cultural history back to its earliest epochs. By analyzing distinct kurgan groups dating between the 8th century BC and the 3rd century AD, this study comprehensively examines the material culture and historical traces of early nomadic societies, focusing predominantly on the Saka and Wusun communities.
SANAT TARİHİNİ SAKATLAMAK: CRIP ESTETİK/SANAT
(Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2026-08-24) Ahu Defne Mostowfi Asmaz; Sanat Tarihi
This study examines crip art practices and disability art creations emerging alongside the disability rights movement, utilizing a cripistemological method grounded in disability experience. Its primary objective is to examine the notably limited presence of the crip art movement within Turkish art historiography, despite its growing international visibility and institutional recognition, and to respond to a significant theoretical gap in the field.
Grounded in critical disability studies, this research critically examines the normative construction of the modern subject and the representational regimes through which non-normative bodyminds are framed. It explores how ableism, cure-oriented thinking, and normative body politics are reproduced within artistic production and everyday cultural representation, while foregrounding crip strategies of resistance emerging from lived disability experience.
Furthermore, the study analyzes how crip art practices have transformed alongside the historical trajectory of disability culture and academic debates. It evaluates the creative possibilities, political imaginaries, tensions, and crises of representation opened up by crip bodyminds in performance, public space, and aesthetic production. After discussing canonical examples from the Global North and key debates, the study turns to performative movements at the intersection of disability and art in Türkiye, critically addressing their discursive contradictions and limitations from a cripistemological position.
Ultimately, the research aims to render visible the artistic labor, experiences, and knowledge production of disabled subjects long excluded from Turkish art historical inquiry; frequently positioned as objects of therapy or pity rather than equal research subjects. Through specific case studies, the study discusses processes of invisibilization, paternalistic pressures, tokenism, and internalized ableism, revealing them as urgent problems for art historiography, education, and curatorial practice. Bringing the aesthetic dimensions of contemporary disability studies and crip methodology into the Turkish context, the thesis demonstrates the profound epistemological and aesthetic significance of embodied crip knowledge for artistic production, curatorial practice, and art history.
HARP VE ESARET: BİRİNCİ DÜNYA SAVAŞI VE AZERBAYCAN’DA OSMANLI ESİRLERİ (1915-1918)
(Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2026-07-02) ASKER Ali; Tarih
This study examines the fate of Ottoman soldiers captured by Russian forces on the Caucasus Front of the
First World War, focusing on the Nargin prisoner-of-war camp off the coast of Baku. The primary period
of analysis is 1915-1918, with limited reference to 1914 for the camp’s establishment and to 1926 for the
legal and administrative consequences of repatriation. Methodologically it rests on the source-critical,
cross-reading analysis of archival material from the Russian Federation, Türkiye and Azerbaijan, together
with contemporary press and memoirs. The study tests five hypotheses: (1) The Tsarist administration’s
discriminatory policies toward its Muslim subjects, together with shared bonds of religion, language and
belonging, jointly shaped the social foundations of Caucasus Muslims’ solidarity with Ottoman prisoners.
(2) Violence and loss of life during transfer and assembly were linked not only to isolated incidents but also
to administrative fragmentation, logistical deficiencies, gaps in oversight and regional conflict. (3)
Bolshevik institutions targeted prisoners of war through propaganda and organizational initiatives, while
prisoners’ political orientations and visions of the future remained heterogeneous. (4) Multiple and
competing authorities seriously weakened in practice the state responsibility and effective control
mechanisms underpinning the Hague Conventions. (5) Rather than a principal determinant of Turkish
Soviet relations, the 1920-1926 repatriation initiatives served as a testing ground revealing the parties’
diplomatic cooperation and administrative capacity. The findings support these hypotheses to varying
degrees. The main findings are: the Baku Muslim Charitable Society and other local relief organizations
contributed to improving prisoners’ access to food, medical care, and protection. Following the Treaty of
Moscow of 16 March 1921, repatriation was regulated by the Convention on the Repatriation of Prisoners
of War of 28 March 1921. Law No. 750 of 22 February 1926 then allowed a “transfer of nationals” through
embassies and consulates instead of the procedure prescribed by the Convention.
TÜRK VE ALMAN GAZETELERİNDE SURİYELİ MÜLTECİLERLE İLGİLİ ÖRTMECE SÖZLER
(Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2026-08-25) Selin YILDIZ KARAKAYA; Alman Dili ve Edebiyatı
This study examines euphemistic expressions in 100 news texts containing the keywords “Suriyeli mülteci” and “syrische Flüchtlinge”, from two national newspapers, daily circulated in Türkiye and Germany between the years 2011 and 2020. The main aim of the study is, in the first place, to reveal the euphemistic expressions by which Syrians and the events, situations related to them are represented in newspaper reports, and via which discursive strategies these euphemisms are constructed and which ideological orientations they reflect; subsequently, creating awareness about the people who are marginalized by those words no matter chosen consciously or unconsciously, thus, enhancing linguistic sensitivity. Within the scope of the study, the impact of the relations between the media and political and economic power elites on media discourse was investigated; the issues of how those selected discursive strategies emerge and the role they play in reproduction of mental models were analysed from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective.
The euphemistic expressions identified in the news texts were coded hierarchically in MAXQDA by utilizing certain discourse strategies such as nomination, predication, framing and topos by various theorists. The visualization software tools were used to illustrate the encoded outcome comparatively, and the findings were interpreted through the method of Critical Discourse Analysis. The data obtained as the result of the study indicate that the lexical preferences of the newspapers in Türkiye regarding Syrians and the events and situations related to them show parallelism with the editorial policies of the newspaper, its ownership structures and ideological orientations, hence, the fact that such factors largely homogenize the discourse whereas in German newspapers, it is possible to speak of a discursive polyphony due to the greater variety of journalistic genres, such as interviews and guest columns.
Güvenlikleştirme ve Yurttaşlığın Siyasetsizleştirilmesi: Türkiye’de ve Hindistan’da Kadın Hareketleri, 2008-2025
(Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2026-08-25) Candaş Ayan; Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi
This thesis examines how the technique of government deployed by authoritarian-populist regimes securitises women’s movements, and how it thereby depoliticises women’s capacity for political agency, through a comparison of the AKP in Turkey and the BJP in India. I argue that once the mechanisms of neoliberal consent manufacturing begin to erode, security ceases to be an exceptional function of the state and becomes a routine technique of everyday government, one that constitutes the women’s movement as one of the primary targets. The movement occupies this position both because of its historical depth and because these governments frame it as a threat to their own sphere of power. The research rests on a qualitative and comparative design. Forty-four in-depth interviews, conducted with the executive and grassroots activists of thirteen women’s movement organisations in each of Turkey and India, together with expert academics, lawyers and journalists from both countries, are analysed through critical discourse analysis. Reading the three participant groups together makes it possible to combine the discourse of power, its organisational counterpart, and the activists’ experience in the field within a single analysis. The theoretical framework brings together Arendt’s conception of political action, Foucault’s analysis of biopolitical governmentality, and critical security studies. Despite the deep cultural and ideological differences between the two cases, the outcome remains common, which shows that the explanation is to be sought not in cultural content but in the structural technique to which these governments resort. Examined across six thematic axes, this commonality grounds the study’s most original empirical finding. Securitisation assumes a monolithic form in Turkey, enclosing the entire field within a single category of threat, whereas in India it takes a selective form that differentiates women according to religious and caste belonging. Although the form changes, the outcome remains constant. In both cases woman is reduced from a political agent to a subject to be protected and governed. I develop the concept of “de-citizenization” to name this shared outcome, which constitutes the thesis’s original contribution. The concept refers not to the removal of citizenship as a legal status but to the gradual withdrawal of the citizen’s capacity for political action, that is, the ability to act with others in the public sphere. In this respect, it contributes to feminist theory, critical security studies, and comparative politics.
