Item Open Access Ambivalence for cognitivists: a lesson from chrysippus?(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2017) Wringe, B.Ambivalence—where we experience two conflicting emotional responses to the same object, person or state of affairs—is sometimes thought to pose a problem for cognitive theories of emotion. Drawing on the ideas of the Stoic Chrysippus, I argue that a cognitivist can account for ambivalence without retreating from the view that emotions involve fully-fledged evaluative judgments. It is central to the account I offer that emotions involve two kinds of judgment: one about the object of emotion, and one about the subject's response.Item Restricted Beyond reduced listening: understanding the phenomenology of Pierre Schaeffer(Bilkent University, 2022-07) Aslan, DenizPierre Schaeffer has produced a large body of work that consists of both music and a wide-ranging theory for the aesthetics of Musique Concrète. In his Traité Des Objets Musicaux (1966), he lays out a philosophical framework for the genre, where he theorizes the notion of sound object as the primary element of the genre's aesthetical foundation and proposes various ways of describing and categorizing sound objects based on their sole perceptual qualities. His theorization of the sound object is prominently based on phenomenological thinking, which suggests the significance of phenomenology in his compositions as well. The primary objective of this thesis will be to understand Pierre Schaeffer's conception and implementation of phenomenology through the examination of his music, theory, and the relationship between them. Therefore, the inherent rela-tion between reduced listening and phenomenological reduction, and the significance of intentionality in this relationship; the notion of sound object with respect to the notion of object in phenomenology; and the primary role of composition in the transcendence of musical experience of Musique Concrète is discussed. This study intends to capture the role of phenomenology in the sole experience of Musique Concrète, which, hopefully, transcends a structural analysis of Schaeffer's music or a phenomenological analysis of Schaeffer's theory.Item Open Access Body, skill, and look: Is bodybuilding a sport?(Springer Netherlands, 2018) Aranyosi, IstvánI argue that bodybuilding should not qualify as a sport, given that at the competition stage it lacks an essential feature of sports, namely, skillful activity. Based on the classic distinction between Leib (the lived body) and Körper (the objective body) in phenomenology, I argue that bodybuilding competition’s sole purpose is to present the Körper, whereas sports are about manifestations of Leib. I consider several objections to this analysis, after which I conclude that bodybuilding is an endeavor closer to both beauty competitions and classical sculpture rather than to any other known sports.Item Open Access Deste gol be âb dâden ve dilin olmazsa olmaz unsurları olarak söz kalıpları(2010) Ceylan, EmreÜç farklı kök hikâyeye dayanan Farsçadaki Deste gol be âb dâden (Çiçeği suya vermek) deyimi pek çok versiyonuyla birlikte yüzlerce farklı anlamda kullanılır. Öyleyse fonksiyonalistlerin iddia ettiği gibi söz kalıpları, “az gelişmiş atalarımızdan kalan işlevini yitirmiş dil artıkları” değildir. Kalıp ifadeler basit birer hatırlatıcı olmanın çok ötesinde son derece sofistike işlevlere sahiptir. Gündelik hayatta kullandığımız hemen tüm kelimeler de, söz kalıpları gibi, son kertede olgusallıkta yaşanmış bir deneyime dayanır. Yalnızca söz kalıpları değil kelimeler de –en az- bir deneyimin ürünüdür. Onlara da kalıplar gibi yalnızca “anlam” değil aynı zamanda “değer” yüklenir. Bu sonuç, “söylem” analizinin temeline dilin değer içeren en küçük birimi olarak “ifade”yi koyan Foucault’un tezleriyle örtüşmektedir. İfadenin merkeze alınmasıyla anlam araştırması, analitik ve kavramsal düzlemden hermenötik ve fenomenolojinin alanına kayar. Halkbilimde henüz pek itibar görmüyor olsa da, günümüz dilbilim tartışmalarında hermenötik ve fenomenolojik yöntemler giderek daha sık kullanılmaktadır; ne var ki, bu yöndeki çalışmalarda da hâlen ağırlıklı olarak kelime baz alınmakta, semiyolojinin ve yapısalcığın devam eden güçlü etkisiyle söz kalıpları da kelimelere parçalanarak incelenmeye devam edilmektedir. Hâlbuki başta söz kalıpları olmak üzere en küçük atomik dilsel birim olan “ifade”ler, “dil”in tüm karakteristik özelliklerini taşıyan olmazsa olmaz unsurlarıdır.Item Open Access Differential translation: A proposed strategy for translating polysemous language in German philosophy(John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2017) Hawkins, S.Translators of German philosophy into English must often choose whether to express concrete or abstract meanings for polysemous German keywords. This article discusses "differential translation," a widely underestimated strategy for representing polysemous words in translation. Disavowing both untranslata-bility and the necessity of terminological equivalence, this strategy integrates signs of polysemy into the reading experience by presenting foreign keywords in brackets after their differing, context-dependent meanings. The article discusses how translators have already responded and how they might respond even more constructively to passages where Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, and Hans Blumenberg, respectively, choose words that link abstractions to images: by presenting existence as both foundational and ground-like (gründlich), time as both fluctuating and fluid (strömend), and common sense as both obvious and nearby (naheliegend). Encountering differentially translated texts would challenge future scholars to evaluate the unity of the concepts behind the words. © John Benjamins Publishing Company.Item Open Access Observational cinema and embodied vision(Bilkent University, 2011) Uslu, AyşeThe aim of this study is to discuss the notion of embodiment in respect of Merleau Ponty's philosophy of phenomenology and its relation to observational cinema. For this aim, this thesis dwells on the embodied nature of perception of seeing and its relation to epistemological approaches that understand the process of thinking and knowing either based on dualisms of body and mind, subject and object or interdependency of them. It is argued that phenomenological understanding of bodily experience provides a basis for the constitution of knowledge without a separation of thought and sensuous experience, self and other. Thus, when the cinema is considered as a way of thinking through images or producing knowledge via images, phenomenological perspectives allows us to understand filmmaking, film viewing and film experience in general considering embodied recprocity between images of and our own bodily experience in the world. Since the underlying idea is that language and body involve in each other within experience as being in the world and the body as the house of the language is the structuring structure of it by preceding it.Item Restricted On Bernhard Waldenfels(1989) Dallmayr, FredItem Restricted Parallelism in Conscious Experience(1992) Sokolowski, RobertItem Open Access A phenomenological analysis of primary school teachers’ lived distance education experience during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey(Routledge, 2022-09-19) Ugur-Erdogmus, F.; Albayrak, DuyguThe purpose of this phenomenological study was to investigate lived distance education (DE) experiences of primary school teachers and their perceptions about DE during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. Twenty primary school teachers who actively taught online participated in online interviews. Phenomenological analysis of the interviews sought to reveal (1) the primary school teachers’ lived DE experience, and (2) their perceptions about DE during the pandemic. The current status of DE, effects of DE, and teachers’ perceptions of DE were the themes revealed. Results showed that teaching practice, interactivity, difficulties, needs, and inequality were the main issues revealed from the primary school teachers’ lived experience. The results also identified the perceived effects of DE on both teachers and students. According to their online experiences, the teachers’ perceptions about DE and their future plans with respect to online teaching were reported.Item Restricted Tarık Günersel şiirinde fenomenolojik ilgi(1995) Taftalı, OktayItem Open Access Technological transformation of the perception of death(Bilkent University, 2013) Akkuş, Murat BaranThe historical attitudes toward death are compared with the philosophical tradition of death contemplation to suggest points of divergence and similarities on the notion of the death of the body. Technological transformations of the attitudes toward body that are established through new modes of perception are often confined into the narrow understanding of Cartesian philosophy. Merleau-Ponty’s notion of flesh overcomes the dualistic consequences of the representational theory of perception thus offering a unified understanding to the elementary relation of bodies to their world. Death must be understood in this bodily sense of Being on which the technological makeup of the daily life plays a crucial and transformative role. The changes in the tradition of Vanitas and the technological penetration of body in Cronenberg’s cinema are prime expressions of bodily death. Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology and textual and visual expressions of encounters with technology and nature are used in order to propose a transformative project to re-establish a primal relation with the intertwinings of death and life.Item Restricted What a kitchen can be: a food-centric approach(Bilkent University, 2021-09) Gürata, DenizAlternative approaches for studying and designing the domestic kitchen need to be considered so that the space can reach its further potential. ‘Food-centric approach’ is one of the alternative ways that could be adopted which disrupts the centrality of the consumer. Food-centric approach aims to build a healthier relationship between human, food, cooking, culture, nature, resources, and the kitchen space. With the pursuit of a food-centric discourse, kitchen’s history, an analysis of the kitchen space, and an investigation of its placeness are presented. Existing problematics of a globalized and standardized domestic kitchen such as the functionalist approach, the consumerist behavior that is often promoted, and the visuality oriented mindset adopted in kitchen design are put forward. Furthermore, how these relate to greater societal matters such as society’s alienation from food and self are discussed. The domestic kitchen is where the individual’s relationship with food is built; therefore, kitchen design has the capacity to address such problems. The existing architectural literature remains insufficient in delivering an extensive understanding of the kitchen that considers all its elements, specifically food, which is the very subject of the kitchen. A food-centric analysis of the domestic kitchen has the capacity to offer a more comprehensive understanding of the kitchen, including its relation to space and place. Considering alternative approaches would inspire theory, design, and the improvement of overall perceptions and conceptions that are in touch with food, cooking, and the kitchen.
