Some selected topics are role of the audience, effects controversy, ratings , visual images which dominate our society, news, public opinion. |
| COMM502 | SELECTED READINGS IN MASS COMMUNICATION STUDIES | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | A graduate level introduction to communication and media studies through a review of major historical and contemporary trends in communication research and literature. The course begins with an overview of the early work produced by North American and European scholars and social theorists around communication and culture, proceeds through the historical debates of the 1970s around the possibility of a “field" of communication and considers the more contemporary and still emerging approaches to understanding communication as a social practice while providing the theoretical background and analytic skills needed to navigate the tensions among these varying approaches. We will consider questions concerning the multiple ways in which communication issues can be addressed from different points of view, and explores how these different points of view support different knowledge claims. |
| COMM504 | COMMUNICATION RESEARCH METHOD | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | This course aims to introduce the students to the epistemology, ontology and methodology of standard and alternative research in communication studies. It provides not only the theoretical background but also practical skills of carrying out research in communication. The students taking this course are expected to contrast research with reasoned inquiry and common sense; to identify problems which will justify communication research; to formulate researchable research techniques; to select appropriate research techniques; to write a succinct, detailed and persuasive research proposal, to present it orally and defend it against criticism; to explore quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and produce research reports in both of them. |
| COMM520 | READINGS IN CULTURAL STUDIES | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | Graduate seminar in the litertaure of communication and cultural studies from the international literature. The course explores a number of vital areas within the field of cultural studies including North american and British Cultural studies, South american, European, african and Middle Eastern perspectives on cultural studies and communication. The emphasis is on providing a solid grounding in the history ansd development of cultural studies, locating it in its contemporary configurations. |
| COMM524 | SEMIOTICS | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | Human cultures are understood as consisting of meanings built by signs and symbols, involved by myths, rituals, language, science, and all other cultural phenomena. How these meanings are searched and made comes under the branch of semiotics. Semiotics - the science of the signs - searches how the signs of a culture represent the world. The ability to understand or to decode signs and symbols makes it possible to get an access to the culture of a specific people, and provides one with the necessary information needed for several branches in communication, e. g. media and advertising. The course emphasizes on analyzing and understanding everyday objects and their presentation in advertising. Equipped with the necessary topic related terminology, and actual reading materials the student will learn how to read advertising elements such as photos, pictures, graphics, and web page layouts. Furthermore the student will be able to give attention to the design of culture specific advertising material. |
| COMM525 | DISCOURSE ANALYSIS IN MEDIA STUDIES | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | In the field of communication studies, M. A students supposed to have academic skills necessary for critical readings of cultural texts as well. Introducing different discourse analysis approaches to the students and giving them opportunity for applying one of these analyses to the chosen popular cultural texts, this seminar aims to provide ability of seeing `the things` differently in communication. The Seminar will be covered an overview of the approaches to discourse analysis with particular emphasis on post-structuralist approaches that take all the cultural text/practices as discursive to be read. Post-structuralist theorists and philosopher's works that did contributions to the critical discourse analysis will be discussed. Students will be expected to apply discourse analysis to cultural texts, such as media texts, architectural designs, bodily practices etc. This Seminar aims to provide critical point of view to the graduate students that are based on recent post-structralist and post-modern theory. Through motivating students for approaching or re-reading all cultural texts deconstructively, the Main objectives of the seminar are to expose the multiple/possible meanings of the cultural texts that surround us. Thus another aim of the seminar would be, not only enrich students' academic/intellectual positioning but empower them as communicator/receiver. |
| COMM536 | THEORIES OF THE MOVING IMAGE | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | During the course of the semester students will observe, through a combination of lectures, readings and practical application, equate themselves with the major theoretical approaches used in the study of film as an academic discipline within the field of communication studies. A solid grounding in the theoretical approaches taken in the study of film is essential before going on to more advanced and specialist courses. Students will become acquainted with historical criticism, genre criticism, feminist criticism, structuralist semiotics, psychoanalytic semiotics and narratology. |
| COMM553 | GENDER AND THE MEDIA | PROF. DR. HANİFE ALİEFENDİOĞLU | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | This course will examine how definitions of gender and sexuality are reproduced, negotiated and deployed in a media context. The goal of this course is to introduce students to the ways in which a variety of media represent gender. The course examines the theoretical approaches that are central to the study of media, culture and gender. This course highlights the key features of many of the current theories and approaches in media analysis, it also focuses on the ways that media can shape public discourse about gender and sexism. This course surveys methods of analysis such as semiotics, socio-historical analysis, ideological analysis, discourse analysis, feminist method, and ethnography as tools through which to understanding gender in media. Reading material will include works by Margaret Gallager, Liesbet van Zoonen, Tania Modleski, David Morley, David Connell, and Rosalind Gill among many others. |
| COMM567 | CRITICAL MEDIA STUDIES: MEDIA REPRESENTATIONS OF NON-HUMAN ANIMALS | ASSOC. PROF. DR. MASHOED BAILIE | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | This is a graduate level course exploring the role of traditional media in representing the ways in which we perceive of and engage with nonhuman animals and, more broadly, our environments. The emphasis is on both the techniques and the role of representation of nonhuman animals in film, television, advertising, music videos and across social media platforms. We draw on a number of traditional and contemporary media studies positions in order to construct theoretical frameworks through which to examine and consider the mediated construction of our relationship to other species. Throughout the semester we will view a selection of documentaries and films that challenge our perceptions of the world, question our taken-for-granted assumptions about our relationship to each other and to non-human animals with whom we co-exist, and raise concerns about the historical and contemporary role that the media have played in normalizing, rationalizing and habituating society to “the way things are". Key questions concern how stories are constructed in order to normalize, for example, nonhuman animals as pets, food, clothing, objects for experimentation, in zoos and circuses or as “wild". How can we approach these stories critically?" By drawing upon the literature emanating from critical media and animal studies and engaging key insights from the broad fields of cultural studies and feminist and post-colonial studies, course participants conduct research and produce papers that offer opportunities for fundamental shifts in the way we engage with the world. |
| COMM578 | APPLIED DRAMA AS RESEARCH METHODOLOGY | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | This module introduces Applied Drama's historical and social context in which the practice-as-research methodology developed. The aim is to introduce students to critical observations and writings, the theoretical frameworks within which the practice has progressed, and the research methodologies applied through this practice, enabling them to devise research projects within the broad interdisciplinary fields of theatre and performance studies. Practical opportunities will enable students to acquire and implement knowledge and skills in workshop techniques, project planning and management, facilitation, and research analysis within an Applied Drama context. The module will be split into two stages: The first introduces students to the history and development of applied drama practice, and students will be asked to consider its relationships to social, ethnographic and cultural research methodologies. This stage will be delivered through a series of lectures, seminars and exploratory exercises. The second stage will investigate practical research methods devised and implemented through applied drama practice. Students will be expected to have knowledge of and apply drama methods of approach including, but not limited to, Forum Theatre, Participatory Theatre, Legislative Theatre, Invisible Theatre and basic mask works (including the works of Trestle Theatre and Geese Theatre). Students are expected to consider, not only the practice of drama and performance in itself, but the ethics, risks, and what is at stake when conducting research using this disciplinary practice. This course is not limited to theatre makers and performers, but is expansive and inclusive to benefit researchers and practitioners from many fields of practice including, but not limited to, sociology, psychology, communication and media, human resources, and business studies. |
| COMM584 | THE ART OF PERSUASION: RHEOTORIC IN ADVERTISING | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | This course provides the student with grounding in both classical rhetoric and its critical use in the study of advertising copywriting. It is the contention of this course that advertising can be profitably viewed as, fundamentally, an application of rhetorical principles to the building of persuasive selling messages. The course emphasizes the foundation status of Aristotle's The Art of Rhetoric but will also look at extracts from rhetorical works by Plato, Isocrates and Ramus. It will be seen that ancient concerns regarding the ethics of rhetoric closely mirror current concerns regarding the ethics of advertising. Students will be introduced to the 'figures of speech' (the tropes and schemes of rhetoric) and will be asked to both analyze contemporary advertising with respect to the figures and also produce copy of their own using them. The work of Edward McQuarrie will be closely examined in terms of its ramifications for contemporary changes in advertising methodology. Finally, issues surrounding current debates concerning the rhetoric of rhetoric will be applied to the advertising industries own attempts at self-justification, self-appraisal and self-regulation. |
| COMM598 | SEMINAR | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | Many graduate students under-perform in their course work, exams, and eventually their theses due to poorly developed basic study skills. Taking essay writing as its basic activity, this course demonstrates how the integration of study, planning, time Management, rhetorical and language skills is an essential prerequisite of good results. The course will be run on a “workshop" basis – much of the actual exercises we will be doing will occur during class time. Come expecting to participate in discussions and practical work. There will also be occasional homework assignments. All of this work is important as it will form the basis of students' coursework Mark. In the final essay students will be expected to demonstrate all the skills they have acquired during the course – preparing outlines, drafts, coherent argument, etc. |
| COMM600 | PH. D. THESIS | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | Consistent with the Regulations of the Institute for Graduate Education and Research, students will register to this course until completing their dissertations. However, they will not be allowed to register to thesis before passing the Comprehensive Exam. |
| COMM601 | THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR COMMUNICATION PARADIGMS | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | This course provides the student with grounding in both classical rhetoric and its critical use in the study of advertising copywriting. It is the contention of this course that advertising can be profitably viewed as, fundamentally, an application of rhetorical principles to the building of persuasive selling messages. The course emphasizes the foundation status of Aristotle's The Art of Rhetoric but will also look at extracts from rhetorical works by Plato, Isocrates and Ramus. It will be seen that ancient concerns regarding the ethics of rhetoric closely mirror current concerns regarding the ethics of advertising. Students will be introduced to the 'figures of speech' (the tropes and schemes of rhetoric) and will be asked to both analyze contemporary advertising with respect to the figures and also produce copy of their own using them. The work of Edward McQuarrie will be closely examined in terms of its ramifications for contemporary changes in advertising methodology. Finally, issues surrounding current debates concerning the rhetoric of rhetoric will be applied to the advertising industries own attempts at self-justification, self-appraisal and self-regulation. |
| COMM602 | CURRENT ISSUES IN COMMUNICATION STUDIES | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | This course introduces major and emerging approaches to understanding communication as both an academic discipline and a social practice while providing the theoretical background and analytic skills needed to navigate the tensions among these varying approaches. The course reviews the intellectual history of communication studies, engages traditional and contemporary questions about human communication, raises questions concerning the multiple ways in which communication issues can be addressed from different points of view, and explores how these different points of view support the legitimation of different knowledge claims. |
| COMM603 | ALTERNATIVE METHODS FOR COMMUNICATION RESEARCH | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | This class studies the methodological underpinnings of “alternative" methods informing the doing of research. It focuses on the methodological reasons that lead us to consider them as alternatives, taking the “Science versus Humanities" division and its later, and evidently insistent, iterations and rearticulations as “Natural Sciences versus Social Sciences" within the previous category of “Science," and as “Qualitative Methodology versus Quantitative Methodology" within the “Social Sciences" category, as a leading question. The course is not meant as a cookbook teaching how to apply such and such “alternative" methods. Rather, it looks at the foundational logos of differing methods such as their different, and even incompatible, epistemological and ontological justifications, the different historical, cultural and institutional configurations of scientific practices, and the changing power-knowledge relationship in the doing of science. The often tacitly assumed necessity of method, understood as a pre-determined path to follow, is not taken for granted in this class, and arguments “against method" and pragmatic approaches like “bricolage" are given serious consideration. |
| COMM641 | INTERACTIVE MEDIA AND DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY | ASST. PROF. DR.

It provides not only the theoretical background but also practical skills of carrying out research in communication. The students taking this course are expected to contrast research with reasoned inquiry and common sense; to identify problems which will justify communication research; to formulate researchable research techniques; to select appropriate research techniques; to write a succinct, detailed and persuasive research proposal, to present it orally and defend it against criticism; to explore quantitative and qualitative research methodologies and produce research reports in both of them. |
| ILET519 | SPECIAL ISSUES IN PUBLIC RELATIONS | ASSOC. PROF. DR. ÜLFET KUTOĞLU KURUÇ | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | Systematic exploration of the field of public relations. The central focus is on how public relations evolved organizationally in relation to its political, economic, legal and social dynamics. Topics under analysis include communication, public opinion, theoretical models of PR, the public relations process, definitions of the problems, internal and external publics, international and global communication media, globalization and the mass media. |
| ILET524 | SEMIOTICS | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | Human cultures are understood as consisting of meanings built by signs and symbols, involved by myths, rituals, language, science, and all other cultural phenomena. How these meanings are searched and made comes under the branch of semiotics. Semiotics - the science of the signs - searches how the signs of a culture represent the world. The ability to understand or to decode signs and symbols makes it possible to get an access to the culture of a specific people, and provides one with the necessary information needed for several branches in communication, e. g. media and advertising. The course emphasizes on analyzing and understanding everyday objects and their presentation in advertising. Equipped with the necessary topic related terminology, and actual reading materials the student will learn how to read advertising elements such as photos, pictures, graphics, and web page layouts. Furthermore the student will be able to give attention to the design of culture specific advertising material. |
| ILET532 | UNDERSTANDING MEDIA | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | Graduate students in communication and media studies need to have academic skills necessary for critical readings of various cultural (including the print/visual media) texts. Introducing theoretical background for approaching/analyzing the hegemonic and counter-hegemonic texts, this course aims to provide the ability to see the `things` differently in the field of Communication Studies. The course will provide an overview of the different approaches to textual analysis with particular emphasis on post-structuralist approaches that take all the cultural texts/practices as discursive, to be read like other texts. First part of the course will base on recent post-structuralist and post-modern theorists' and philosophers' works such as Michel Foucault, Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau, Jacques Derrida that contributed to the discourse theories. Second part of the course will cover the evaluation of the researches/works that were done by the scholars who are in the field of Cultural Studies. Giving this course during the Fall term, the students will be prepared to the “Seminar in Discourse Analysis"(JRN 525) that will be opened in the following Spring term as an elective course for the ones who want to apply critical discourse analysis to the cultural texts. |
| ILET553 | GENDER AND THE MEDIA | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | It is necessary for potential media professionals to have a gender perspective with the understanding of “globalizing social life" and "world in change. " The intention of this MA seminar is to provide an introduction to contemporary gender issues in the social sciences and humanities; in disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, cultural studies and post-colonial studies. In addition to this, special attention will be given to various perspectives in gender analysis, such as, for instance, the first, second, and third waves of feminism, and their subsequent effects on the social sciences and humanities. The concept of gender and its influence on contemporary academic disciplines will be the primary focus of this seminar. Participants will be given a variety of interesting readings covering a broad range of perspectives. Some of the concepts that will be investigated include; patriarchy, sex and gender, gender mainstreaming, public and private dichotomy. Those students who wish to join this seminar will be required to complete the essential readings list in the seminar outline, read a book related to one of the specific areas that we will cover, and write a critique or analysis of it (handing in various drafts and a final copy as directed). |
| ILET584 | THE ART OF PERSUASION: RHEOTORIC IN ADVERTISING | ASSOC. PROF. DR. AGAH GÜMÜŞ | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | his course provides the student with grounding in both classical rhetoric and its critical use in the study of advertising copywriting. It is the contention of this course that advertising can be profitably viewed as, fundamentally, an application of rhetorical principles to the building of persuasive selling messages. The course emphasizes the foundation status of Aristotle's The Art of Rhetoric but will also look at extracts from rhetorical works by Plato, Isocrates and Ramus. It will be seen that ancient concerns regarding the ethics of rhetoric closely mirror current concerns regarding the ethics of advertising. Students will be introduced to the 'figures of speech' (the tropes and schemes of rhetoric) and will be asked to both analyze contemporary advertising with respect to the figures and also produce copy of their own using them. The work of Edward McQuarrie will be closely examined in terms of its ramifications for contemporary changes in advertising methodology. Finally, issues surrounding current debates concerning the rhetoric of rhetoric will be applied to the advertising industries own attempts at self-justification, self-appraisal and self-regulation. |
| ILET598 | SEMINAR | | COMMUNICATION AND MEDIA STUDIES | Many graduate students under-perform in their course work, exams, and eventually their theses due to poorly developed basic study skills. Taking essay writing as its basic activity, this course demonstrates how the integration of study, planning, time Management, rhetorical and language skills is an essential prerequisite of good results. The course will be run on a “workshop" basis – much of the actual exercises we will be doing will occur during class time. Come expecting to participate in discussions and practical work. There will also be occasional homework assignments. All of this work is important as it will form the basis of students' coursework Mark. In the final essay students will be expected to demonstrate all the skills they have acquired during the course – preparing outlines, drafts, coherent argument, etc. |
| INAR500 | THESIS | | INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE | |
| INAR501 | INTERDISCIPLINAY WORKSHOP | | INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE | Interdisciplinary Workshop is a compulsory course offered to all graduate students at an interdisciplinary level. Since architecture stands at the intersection point of different study areas, the interdisciplinary character of the professional studies have to be employed. Thus, the aim of this compulsory course is to guide the students to carry out certain researches around their different interest areas while the theme remaining constant within one semester. The sub-research groups are selected according to the various sub-topics of different architectural themes such as design in all scales; theory; history; conservation-restoration; economy; technology, environmental control; construction and materials; management etc. . These research options are kept large in order to give students more freedom in selecting the topic of their contribution to the workshop. Different workshop methods are applied in achieving a mutual end product, taking inputs from different disciplines and viewing the theme from different perspectives. The role of the instructor(s) is to coordinate the workshop process and to act as a mediator. Guest lecturers and experts are invited to support the fundamentals of the concerned sub-themes / areas. Depending on the number and research areas of the attended students, they are required to work either in a single group or as sub-groups forming the whole. A variety of research methods are experienced by the students; as literature survey; analysis techniques covering observation; photographing; sketching, etc. ; workshops towards problem solving; group discussions led by instructors; synthesizing the collected data of the research; presentations (verbal, graphics and posters), etc. |
