    Deconstructionist typography
    (1995) Tansel, Sepren
    This thesis probes into how semiotics and deconstructionism on the one hand, technological progress on the other, have challenged typography. It begins with a short historical account of contemporary typography, focusing especially on modernist movement, and then discusses the consequences of digital revolution and the rising postmodern culture for contemporary type and t)q)ography. After explaining the structural approach to language and semiotics, it discusses critiques directed by poststructuralism and particularly deconstructionism. The influence of deconstructionism on typography is examined in detail, especially in the context of developments in digital technology. The contribution of deconstructionist typography is discussed in both graphetic and graphological aspects. How deconstructionist t)T)ography challenges and transforms the conventional dualities of typography, and consequently ofl'er new, open-ended forms of reading and writing, is demonstrated.

    Hypertext and critial convergence
    (2000) Çokal, Berat
    Today, within the information and telecommunication technologies, internet technologies occupies the dominant role. Hypertext is the system that underlies many of the main digital multimedia with its capacity to hold different media like text, image and sound together by linkage. Upon this linkage capability of hypertext, some theorists call for the turning of an age towards a new digital democracy, by employing ideas of contemporary critical theorists and philosophers. This thesis examines the points of oonvergence in their claims, criticizes the way that they employ philosophy. Consequently it is shown that how these claims of convergence between critical theory and hypertext, turn out to be the convergence between liberal democratic ideals and digital democracy.

    Questioning teletechnologies : a study on the notion of inheritance in Derrida
    (2009) Berksun, Fırat
    This  study  aims  to  trace  the  perspective  on  media  and  technology  in  Jacques  Derrida’s  thought. For  this purpose, a discussion of  the notion of inheritance is  presented. This notion marks essential themes in Derrida’s approach to modern  teletechnologies.  Associations  between  the  notion  of  inheritance  and  fundamental  questions  in  the  thought  of  deconstruction  such  as  experience,  writing  and  belief  are  explored.  The  questions  that  arise  through  the  contextualization  of  modern  teletechnologies  is  put  forth  by  a  reading  of  the  philosophical  dialogue  between  Bernard  Stiegler  and  Jacques  Derrida.  It  is  argued  that  the  experience  of  bearing  witness,  to  which  Derrida  ascribes  a  constitutive role in the formation of the social bond, obtains a new context by the  expansion of teletechnologies.

    A theoretical discussion on framing: and the frame through deconstruction
    (1999) Bengi, Z. Begüm
    This study aims at investigating deconstruction, and how a theoretical discussion on framing may be arrived at through such an investigation. For this pupose, some of the concepts such as ‘logocentricm’, ‘differance’, ‘iterability’, and ‘arche-writing’, which had been named as such by Jacques Derrida, are traced through his related texts, as one possible thread among others, and are concidered as that from which a theoretical conclusion on ‘framing’ can be extracted.
