Asaf Hâlet Çelebi şiirlerinde ara konumda fantastik
(2010) Akdeniz, Sıla
Asaf Hâlet Çelebi, not being involved in any poetic movement, was considered to be “odd” or “extraordinary” in his time, and is still widely seen as such today. Due to the difference and peculiarity of his poetry, he was widely criticized and little appreciated. Studies of Asaf Hâlet Çelebi have mostly concentrated on the mystic elements used in his poetry. Elements that have been particularly focused upon have been the elements he acquired from Eastern culture and Islamic mysticism, the expressions from older civilizations that are commonly seen in his poetry, his direct use of phrases in diverse languages, and his allusions and references to a multiplicity of different texts. More recent studies of Asaf Hâlet Çelebi have pointed out his frequent use of fable, yet have done no more than point out his use of fable motifs and move on; no extensive research on the subject has been done thus far. In this study, however, it is the relationship between Asaf Hâlet Çelebi’s poetry and the fantastic that will be examined. “Abstraction”, the guiding principle of Çelebi’s poetry, will be examined in terms of its effect on “liminality”. Ultimately, it is the fantastic which emerges from or is approached in Çelebi’s poetry that is examined.

Professional army system : a diagnosis of the perceptions
(2002) Işıkçı, Erol
This study analyzes the perceptions about the concept of professional army. It aimed to find out the ideas and attitudes of the management people in defence sector toward being an army with totally professional soldiers. Recently, the effectiveness of the Army’s personnel was questioned for being totally professional, and efforts to modernize it or set up a completely new system. This large-scale organizational change has been discussed on the framework of opensystem theory. Although there may be various reasons for their perceptions, the reasons behind those perceptions are not investigated. The thesis will enable some information for further studies by picturing the present condition and finding the individual perceptions of respondents at all levels (upper, middle and lower levels) before the professional army established so that it gives a way for understanding how the social perception will change when the transformation is underway.
