Item Restricted Büyük yazınsal günah(1979) Yavuz, HilmiItem Open Access Clash of discourses: the US national debate on relations with Haiti, 1789-2004(2008) Pakin, EsraThis dissertation is a historical-comparative analysis of the rhetorical forms and frames that have shaped United States-Haitian relations, departing from the predominantly action-oriented perspective of international relations literature. The study expounds continuity and change in official foreign policy discourse as “The United States” and “Haiti” were reinterpreted through time. It also displays how these constructions of “self” and “other” have been contested within the public and political domain. This work is a contribution not only for its elaboration on the mostly unattended public, press and congressional critique of Haitian policy, but also for shedding further light on the role of African Americans in U.S. foreign policy making.Item Open Access Cross-national reconstruction of managerial practices: TQM in Turkey(Sage Publications, 2007) Özen, Ş.; Berkman, Ü.Drawing on the discursive and translative perspectives, we examine the discourse produced by an elite group of corporate executives to legitimate TQM (total quality management) at the national level in Turkey. The findings indicate that the legitimating agencies largely used ethos justifications exploiting the macro-cultural discourses prevalent in the Turkish context. As such, they reconstructed TQM as a blueprint embracing solutions to the problems at societal, organizational, and individual levels. Based on the findings, we propose that reconstruction of imported practices in recipient contexts is more likely to involve ethos justification when compared to the construction of the original rhetoric because of the nature of cross-national translation. The strategy of ethos justification is even more likely when legitimating actors also strive to legitimate themselves as a social group, and/or to promote the practice to the public. Furthermore, the recipient discourse will be less coherent if legitimating actors have less formal authority and loose structure, and the target audiences have diverse values and expectations. We suggest that, under these circumstances, the reconstruction of the imported practices is more likely to produce fashions than institutions, a limited diffusion of the practice in contrast to the intentions of legitimating actors.Item Restricted Dil, söylence, iğretileme(1979) Yavuz, HilmiItem Restricted Doing, making, meaning: Toward a theory of verbal practice(1988) Hernadi, PaulItem Open Access Economic hardships, polarizing rhetoric, and diversionary use of force(2021-05) Yılmaz, Burak KazimExperiencing economic and social problems make state leaders lose popularity among their constituencies. Eventually, they are likely to lose their positions, if problems persist. Motivated to stay in office, leaders resort to different policies as long as political systems that they exist within allow. Use of force to divert public attention is one of these policies. Scholars who have studied this phenomenon suggested several mechanisms to trace state leaders' efforts for creating diversionary conflict. In this thesis, I offer a novel approach which adds socities' political polarization into the relationship between leaders' need for diversion and conflict initiation. To test this approach, I chose post-2014 presidential election Turkey as my case study. The case is rich in content because of the deteriorating economic indicators, presence of a polarized society, and having different violent conflicts. I measured the polarization variable through president's speeches by using computational text analysis methods. Then, I conducted regression analyses to detect the relationship between polarizing rhetoric and diversionary use of force. My findings reveal that the ruling party elite has followed different practices in using polarizing elements in their speeches for conflicts inside and outside Turkey. While rhetoric becomes more polarized in the times that armed forces conduct more operations to PKK, it becomes less when the number of conflicts abroad increases.Item Restricted Item Restricted Item Restricted Kaya Bilgegil'in şiire dair düşünceleri (1)(1990) Çetişli, İsmailItem Restricted Kenneth Burke's great range(1968) Hoffman, Frederick J.Item Restricted Martin Luther'den Şeyh Bedrettin'e Çağdaş Tarih Anlayışı(1984) Yıldız, KürşatItem Restricted Nazım'ın dilsel sorun ve yenilikçi şairler üzerine görüşleri(1978) Orhan KemalItem Restricted On form(1964) Burke, KennethItem Open Access The power of signaling: presidential leadership and rhetoric over 20 years(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2017) Kiessling, T.; Martin, T. M.; Yasar, B.Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the power of leadership rhetoric with a theoretical foundation of signaling theory. Past research mostly focus on followers and not other stakeholders and the authors attempt to fill that research gap. Design/methodology/approach: The research explored nearly 20 years and 51,500 pages of information from US presidents and explored the impact on stock market volatility using generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity. Findings: The research findings suggest that leaders can/do have a powerful impact on stakeholders. In particular negative statements will cause the greatest reaction due to risk adverse stockholders, neutral rhetoric will calm the market and decrease volatility and positive rhetoric was not significant. Research limitations/implications: Past research suggests that a focus on the consequences of leadership rhetoric be explored and the research suggests that people do respond to powerful leaders, even if they are not followers. Also the authors filled a gap in regard to the impact of leader communication about economic and marketplace events. Practical implications: Practitioners benefit from the research as they can focus upon the US presidents’ rhetoric and strategically apply the research as they can predict the movement of the stock market immediately thereafter. Originality/value: Very little research has ever explored the impact of a leader’s rhetoric and the subsequent economic impact, and no one has explored in particular the president’s rhetorical impact (who is considered by many the top leader in the USA).Item Restricted Rhetorical Power, By Steven Mailloux(1990) Robinson, Forrest G.Item Restricted Item Open Access Stratejik iletişim modeli ve güvenlik alanına uygulanabilirliği(Millî Savunma Üniversitesi Atatürk Stratejik Araştırmalar Enstitüsü, 2012) Gürcan, MetinStratejik iletişim, uzun vadeli stratejik hedeflere ulaşmayı kolaylaştırmak maksadıyla eylem-söylem paketi olarak kodlanmış mesajların en uygun yer ve zamanda, en uygun vasıta ile, en güçlü etkiyi yaratacak ve en senkronize şekilde, sürekli ve şeffaf bir süreçle ilgili (veya hedef) kamuoyu ile paylaşılmasını ve kamuoyunun etkilenmesini amaçlayan bir “yetenek” olarak tanımlanabilir. Önceleri ticari anlamda etkin bir pazarlama ve reklam aracı olarak kullanılan bu modelin, son yıllarda güvenlik alanında da uygulanabilirliği tartışılmaya başlamıştır. Ampirik bir yanı olmayan bu çalışmanın ilk amacı, henüz hakkında Türkçe literatürünün oluşmadığı bu kavramı bir başlangıç olarak güvenlik alanındaki akademik camiaya tanıtmaktır. Öncelikle modern iletişim ortamındaki değişiklikleri irdeleyen, müteakiben stratejik iletişimi açıklayan çalışmanın temel amacı; stratejik iletişimin bir model olarak güvenlik alanında kullanılıp kullanılamayacağı sorusuna cevap bulmaktır. Çalışma, stratejik iletişimi geliştirmede “lokomotif” rolü üstlenmiş olan NATO’nun bu modeli niçin ve nasıl uyguladığını da bir “örnek olay” olarak analiz etmektedir.Item Restricted Tebahhur Suresi(1979) Damar, ArifItem Restricted The poetic motive(1958) Burke, KennethItem Restricted The principle of composition(1961) Burke, Kenneth
