ArticlePublication Open Access Designing on the spot: Learning from the social design projects in Gökçeada/Imbros island(Taylor & Francis, 2017-07-28) Erözçeli̇k, Meram Alayça; Taşdizen, Burak; Industrial Design; TAŞDİZEN, BurakDesign for social innovation is the emerging movement of the 21st century. Nonetheless, the socioeconomic impact of social design projects is conditional upon their multifaceted conception and upon their array of influence. In Turkey as elsewhere, sustainability is one of the main issues of social design projects in urban/rural territories. Generating innovation at the local level and for individual people also rely on design teams’ persistency on penetrating on local communities’ lives. This paper will focus on the design workshop series implemented on Gökçeada/ Imbros Island between 2014 and 2016. By expanding the problematics of sustainability in social design projects, the paper will propose a three years’ experience with academic purposes, based on benevolent participation and unfunded co-design. Finally, this paper will aim to contribute to the social design literature by illustrating a model of “designing on the spot” concept, for the sake of sustainable, long run design projects.ArticlePublication Open Access Cyborg encounters: Three art-science interactions(Springer, 2022-08) Ural, Ayşe Melis Okay; Taşdizen, Burak; McKinnon Bell, C. J.; İrez, Beyza Dilem Topdal; Şahinol, M.; Industrial Design; TAŞDİZEN, Burak; Ural, Ayşe Melis Okay; İrez, Beyza Dilem TopdalThis contribution includes three selected works from an exhibition on Cyborg Encounters. These works deal with hybrid connections of human and non-human species that (might) emerge as a result of enhancement technologies and bio-technological developments. They offer not only an artistic exploration of contemporary but also futuristic aspects of the subject. Followed by an introduction by Melike Şahinol, Critically Endangered Artwork (by Ayşe Melis Okay) highlights Turkey’s ongoing problems of food poverty and the amount of decreasing agricultural lands. It displays seeds of a promising endemic plant to mitigate these problems using the seeds of the Thermopsis Turcica, a herbaceous perennial endemic plant. Ecomasculinist Pregnancy (by Burak Taşdizen and Charles John McKinnon Bell) follows the design fiction methodology and illustrates a future scenario through a patient’s diary and the medical letters he receives during his pregnancy with an extinct sea-lion. Polluted Homes (by Beyza Dilem Topdal) is a fictional art installation consisting of polychaete species evolved in time under the ecological circumstances prevalent in the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara today. These works show, that manufacturing life has consequences, not only for the human body and its physical appearance, but also, for example, for gender orders, the social structure of society, and even the environment, and thus for (re)shaping (non)living matter and their environments. This Art-Science Collection intends to provide an impetus for debate about the extent to which cyborg encounters should be taken seriously.ArticlePublication Open Access Ahlak dışı nesneler: Ulus’ta kentsel dönüşümün bir psikocoğrafyası(Vehbi Koç Ankara Araştırmaları Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (VEKAM), 2016-09-25) Taşdizen, Burak; Kaygan, H.; Industrial Design; TAŞDİZEN, BurakBir zamanlar genç Cumhuriyet'in siyasi ve ekonomik merkezi olan Ankara'daki Ulus semti, kentin hem cumhuriyetçi hem de manevi geleneklerine ev sahipliği yapmayı sürdürmektedir. Önce gecekondularla sarılmış, sonrasında Kızılay'ın, başkentin yeni ekonomik merkezi olmaya başlamasıyla geri plana itilmiş semt, düşük gelir gruplarına terk edilmiştir. Günümüzde Ulus'un kendine özgü, çok katmanlı karakteri, kentteki önemli bir dini alan olan Hacıbayram'ın temsil ettiği manevi ve ahlaki değerleri gölgede bıraktığı iddiasıyla hedef gösterilmekte ve bu gerekçeyle bir kentsel dönüşüme tanıklık etmektedir. Bu makalenin amacı, psikocoğrafi bir yöntem kullanarak Ulus'un pazarlarında görüldüğü iddia edilen bu "ahlak dışılığın" izini sürmektir. Mevcut kentsel dönüşüm literatürünün sınıfsal yer değiştirmeye yaptığı vurguyu destekleyecek şekilde, dönüştürücülerin söylemsel müdahalelerinin deneyime dair temellendirmelerini görünür hale getirmeyi hedeflemektedir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Ankara Büyükşehir Belediyesinin 2008-2016 yılları arasında yayımladığı bültenler taranmış; sonrasında İtfaiye Meydanı ve Telefoncular Pazarı gibi farklı bölgelerde, raflarda sunulan nesnelere ve bu nesnelerin sunumuna dair bir dizi gözlem yapılmıştır. Ortaya çıkan öznel harita, Ulus'taki "ahlak dışılık" hissine doğrudan etkisi olan maddi kültüre, bu maddi kültürün davet ettiği önemli pratiklere ve farklı toplumsal gruplara dair içgörüler sağlarken bu hissin üç bileşenini öne çıkarmaktadır: ekonominin kayıt dışılığı, mevcut erkeklik rejimi ve çatışan nostaljiler.
ArticlePublication Metadata only Medicalised masculinities in Turkey and Iran: The eigensinn of hair in hair transplantation(Edinburgh University Press, 2021-04) Şahinol, M.; Taşdizen, Burak; Industrial Design; TAŞDİZEN, BurakGrowing cultural enthusiasm for cosmetic surgery and the techno-medical modification of the body have had a considerable impact on men in recent years making it the driving force behind the medicalisation of masculinities (Syzmczak and Conrad 2006). Among the top five cosmetic procedures most frequently chosen by men are laser hair removal in the category of cosmetic minimally invasive procedures and hair transplantation in the category of cosmetic surgical procedures (American Society of Plastic Surgeons 2019). Turkey is the world’s leading destination for medical services and a leading country of medical tourism. Its beauty tourism is particularly noteworthy making the country attractive for ‘demand-oriented’ and ‘wish-fulfilling’ cosmetic procedures for the West, the Middle East as well as locals. With a special emphasis on the somatechnics of shaping men’s hair, this article analyses the currents of hair transplantation practices and after-care in shaping masculinities in Turkey and its regional competitor Iran. By building on the existing literature, we extend the discussion on male haircare with hair as the bios as part of emerging socio-bio-technical entities.
