How do Filipino migrant women workers spend a Sunday, or what tactics do street vendors develop to keep their businesses going?

There must be a reason why we enjoy reading his writings so much: for him, thought is never a gesture, vanity, or an intellectual exercise. It is as if the instinctive curiosity of a small child has matured into adult discipline. A truth that draws us in, stemming from his sincere and compassionate identification with the object he observes. Secondly, there is that aesthetic criterion which Berger defines in a simple way: \"Does this work contribute to people learning about their social rights and encouraging them to demand them?\" These writings also have another characteristic: for Berger, analysis is never just criticism and questioning; it always tells us a visible or invisible story belonging to the photograph. He is also a storyteller.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs this collection, compiled by Geoff Dyer, is designed as a special edition on photography, it also includes sections from Berger's previous books. Additionally, there are texts written for exhibitions or as introductions or afterwords to catalogs but not included in any of his books.

Ultimately, all of these are a kind of zombie production. This book is an effort to diagnose and discuss those zombies, those living dead. “I use the term anarchy because I want to problematize the dominant power structures, their discourses, prejudices, stereotypes, and beliefs within the field of architectural knowledge. I believe they form very weak thought constructions. And paradoxically, they owe their power to those weaknesses. They are believed, convinced, and discursive and\/or design practices continue recklessly. If belief in them were abandoned, the entire intellectual construction would be undermined, and it would lose its ground. “My much more important goal is the hidden totalitarianism in architectural discourses. In most texts of architectural thought, there is talk of a totalitarian expectation that the world can be made a paradise by the architect's personal skill, and often this causes no discomfort. Such a belief, in fact, carries water to the channel extending from the imagined power of the designing subject to the uncontrolled real power of political authority. It reveals possibilities for legitimizing dictatorial claims. I can also say this: The distance between the architect's design power and the political leader's power to engage in social engineering is very short.

The authors, recognizing that to utilize the liberating potential of postcolonial theory one must avoid solely focusing on the hegemonic West, reject the cardboard cutouts presented to them as models for their society and undertake a challenging cultural analysis. The book concentrates on fundamental trends and shifts in social identities, examining changing forms of social stratification, how this change is reflected in housing and consumption patterns, relationships between different classes, and perspectives on education. Culture is treated as both a field of production and political struggle, analyzed through the unique symbols of language, folklore, film, humor, and Islamist political mobilization.

Today, art and works of art are mentioned in the same breath as words like market, fashion, millions of dollars, marketing, and brand. In the hazy atmosphere accompanying these, there is something sensed but never quite named. The renowned art critic Donald Kuspit's book is precisely about this ineffable thing. The truth behind the discomfort felt by the viewer in an exhibition hall filled with utterly vulgar, unmemorable, shallow postmodern works: These are not works of art, and therefore they cannot evoke the feelings that true art does.\u003cbr\u003eKuspit, using Alan Kaprow's term \"postart\" to describe such works, argues that postmodern art actually means the end of art because aesthetics has lost its prestige. He explains how the type of artist who believed in spiritual values has been replaced by the postartist, who is inextricably linked to market demands. Meticulously evaluating the works and theoretical ideas of Marcel Duchamp and Barnett Newman, he points out that this loss of value in art cannot be separated from the entropic character of modern art, describing the current situation as anti-aesthetic postmodern art.\u003cbr\u003eThe book, which contains sharp observations on the path art has taken throughout the twentieth century, not only reveals the current impasses of the visual arts but also points to the possibilities inherent in this deadlock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metis Yayıncılık","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39409049764035,"sku":"9789753425414","price":201.6,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9789753425414.jpg?v=1616018387"},{"product_id":"algilanan-dunya","title":"Perceived World","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis text, surprising in its topicality, consists of Merleau-Ponty's radio talks from 1948.

Yes, there is architecture as you know it in the book, but there is also linguistics, mathematics, and economics, and even an enjoyable philosophical tour from Plato to Kant, from Marx to Wittgenstein. The book's central concept is \"architectural will.\" Karatani, looking from Japan, a country distant from the Western intellectual tradition, which he claims lacks such a will, sees at the root of the Western tradition Plato's prioritization of \"making\" over \"becoming\" - an attempt to create a \"structure\" that would eliminate indecision and uncertainty. He views the obsessive repetition of architecturally derived metaphors throughout the history of Western philosophy as the result of an \"irrational\" choice to re-establish order and structure within a seemingly chaotic \"becoming.\" In this respect, Karatani's work can be included in deconstructionism. However, instead of stopping there, he places himself within the critical tradition initiated by Kant and continued in very different forms by Marx and Wittgenstein. This is because Karatani also, in one sense, affirms the will to create and build. Unlike the Romantics, he is not in favor of opposing \"making\" by affirming \"becoming\" - in fact, he argues that becoming is not chaotic but has a discernible form. According to Karatani, architecture - making, creating, building - is never merely the realization of a design as an idea, but \"a perfect event in the sense that it is a making or becoming that transcends the maker's control.\" This is an extremely practical observation, directed at life and the contemporary world: it states that a monistic or pure design - and therefore a structure or system - independent of possible relationships with others who do not share the same common rules with us, is not possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metis Yayıncılık","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39409050288323,"sku":"9789753425513","price":306.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9789753425513.jpg?v=1616018390"},{"product_id":"gorsel-dusunme","title":"Visual Thinking","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes this classic work different is that it challenges an established dogma by using some fundamental findings of perceptual psychology: According to this dogma, our eye is merely a sensory organ, and all we do with our sense of sight is collect visual data for our brain, which will later process, evaluate, and think about it. In this mechanical model, which has left its mark on both our everyday approaches and the entire history of science and philosophy, senses and thought are separated, even pitted against each other: Senses are misleading and unreliable unless processed by reason.\u003cbr\u003eArnheim's thesis exposes the inadequacy of this model; it argues that thinking arises simultaneously with seeing from the very beginning, that thinking is structurally dependent on our sense of sight to an almost pictorial degree, and that \"true thinking\" in the problem-solving sense, in all human artistic and scientific activities, always proceeds through the visual perception of space. With examples drawn from various fields of activity, from children's drawings to cosmic conceptions in the history of science, Arnheim explains how we perceive and how our thoughts are shaped by our senses and perceptions, suggesting that freeing ourselves from the false dichotomy established between sight and thought will bring fruitful developments in science and the arts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a culture like ours, which seems far from understanding the importance of visuality in education, can what is described here have any significance?

Since memory is a faculty that is very difficult to define directly, philosophers and psychologists have resorted to various metaphors throughout the ages to understand it. Draaisma takes the reader on a historical journey from antiquity to the present day, introducing these metaphors. He investigates how these metaphors, derived from various techniques and tools developed to store information over the ages—from wax tablets to books, from photographs to computers, and even holograms—have been used. It is a history of science written in an extremely clear and understandable language. The most original contribution of the book is its finding that metaphors play a crucial role in the production of scientific knowledge. Contrary to what is generally assumed, we see that the dream of producing a scientific language entirely free from metaphors, i.e., from the restrictive effects of language and sociality, has always remained a dream; metaphors have at times misled scientists, hindered the development of knowledge, but have also been eye-opening elements that fueled the desire for more knowledge.

So much intelligence has been embedded in image technologies that we often get the feeling that images 'think'.

Into History—that is, into creating distance with the past, a sense of the fullness of the present, and the activity of planning and organizing the future? How did Western societies manage to break away from the belief that everything that happens is destiny, that the future is actually a reflection of the past, that history is merely repetition, and that tradition and proverbs are the truest guides?

These three important thinkers of the twentieth century approached a specific main theme with similar methods: the experience of modernity in everyday life. All three prefer to start from the fragments, scraps, remnants, in short, the \"fragments\" of modernity. With a philosophical approach and penetrating analyses, they examine what modernity transforms in our lives and how. They focus on the fragmentation of traditional perceptions of time, space, and causality, and the imprint of money and commodity on our lives. Sociologist David Frisby meticulously examines the works of these thinkers, whose value was relatively late to be understood, presenting a rich panorama of their ideas. The book is not only a good introduction to the world of these three thinkers but also a special study where we can find valuable insights to understand \"the world we live in.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003csub\u003e\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003csup\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cstrike\u003e\u003c\/strike\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metis Yayıncılık","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39409051861187,"sku":"9789753428392","price":135.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9789753428392.jpg?v=1616018421"},{"product_id":"asi-sehirler","title":"Rebel Cities","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2008, an economic crisis erupted in the real estate and related financial sectors in the US, which had been speculatively inflated since 2001, and quickly engulfed all of Europe. Rebel Cities analyzes this period where the gap between the crisis narrative constructed by neoliberal economics and the position of the masses, who are compensating for the crisis through their own lives, is widening. The book, with one foot on the street, also offers a long-term conceptual analysis in favor of direct action. Here, Harvey succinctly presents his understanding of urban economics, which he has been developing since the second half of the 1980s, while also examining what new directions conceptual questions and analyses might indicate for urban social movements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metis Yayıncılık","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39409052057795,"sku":"9789753429085","price":333.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9789753429085.jpg?v=1616018422"},{"product_id":"yeni-istanbul-calismalari","title":"New Istanbul Studies","description":"\u003cp\u003eIstanbul is undergoing rapid change. This change affects the lives of the people living in this city first, then its regional environment, and finally all of Turkey. The \"new\" in New Istanbul Studies primarily refers to the \"new\" Istanbul that has emerged with this rapid change, focusing on aspects of the city that we have not experienced before. On the other hand, these are also \"new\" studies: both in terms of research topics and perspectives. The selection, carefully compiled from different disciplines, offers extremely valuable clues for understanding the different dimensions of urban change, with its variety of levels, theories, methods, and topics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe articles in the book, grouped into four sections: \"Space and Politics,\" \"Labor and Economy,\" \"Political Ecology,\" and \"Body and Sexuality,\" start from the city's encouragement into globalization \"by the state,\" and cover the pressure of neoliberalism on the city, how the ambiguities in land ownership law are exploited, dispossession, gentrification, clues provided by the city's transformation geography, the stigmatization of certain neighborhoods as \"dangerous,\" and the police violence they endure. In all articles, there are clear traces of resistance against the city's developments, especially the \"Gezi Park\" resistance, and the new urban opposition. With a significant emphasis on how social labor, despite carrying Istanbul on its back, often remains invisible in urban studies, tourism, traffic, and transportation problems, as well as \"mobilities\" in the city, are discussed. Two different examples from the textile and banking sectors are examined to see the effect of gender on female employment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the important contributions of the book is to look at the city from a political ecology framework. The articles evaluating the city's present based on the concept of \"sustainability\" also clarify how the central government and the municipality reduce concepts and understandings such as environmentalism, nature, and sustainable development to mere rhetoric and image material, emptying them of their meaning, and in most cases, engaging in practices that are the exact opposite. In the last section, the publicness and sexuality of the body in the city are discussed through the LGBT movement, disabled bodies, migrant women domestic workers, trans individuals, sex cinemas, and the recent historical course of related conservatism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metis Yayıncılık","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39409052090563,"sku":"9789753429726","price":567.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9789753429726.jpg?v=1616018424"},{"product_id":"milletin-mimarisi","title":"Architecture of the Nation","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“The built environment,” which constitutes an important facet of the relationship between Islam and politics, has always been a controversial topic. The image of the “homogeneous” Islamic city, which first appeared in Orientalist studies in the early 19th century, began to be questioned after Edward Said’s groundbreaking Orientalism. With studies that took into account the diversity of cities in the Islamic world, the dominant view based on the traditional-modern dichotomy was largely abandoned. In today’s world, where the visibility and political influence of Islam have significantly increased, the relationship between Islam and the built environment brings forth another research question: we need to consider today how Islamism, rather than Islam, plays a role in shaping the built environment (and how the built environment, in turn, shapes Islamism).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArchitecture of the Nation analyzes Turkey’s transformation in the last twenty years from this perspective. Batuman argues that the AKP government should be considered a project of (re)nation-building, and within this framework, she focuses on the types of spatial strategies employed and the urban forms produced; starting from the premise that the built environment is one of the constitutive elements of the social, she undertakes to reveal the spatial construction of politics. To understand the demands, contradictions, and struggles inherent in the city and defined by spatial forms and scales, she carefully analyzes the interactions between the spatial and the social. This is a highly timely book: Batuman successfully accomplishes the challenging endeavor of describing how a political regime is reshaped through urban and architectural forms while the process is still ongoing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metis Yayıncılık","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39779232710851,"sku":"9786053161691","price":400.5,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/0001837846001-1.jpg?v=1621020578"}],"url":"https:\/\/yemkitabevi.com\/en-us\/collections\/metis-yayincilik\/basimtarihi_subat-2020.oembed","provider":"YEM Kitabevi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
