However, in business consultation and self-help l...

Have you ever wondered why researchers insist some doctrines used at the #workplace are #pseudoscience, while others claim they work in practice? In this article, we tackle this question through Thomas Erikson’s “Surrounded by Idiots”. #work #DISC #philosophy onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New photographs of the Petar Zoranić–World Harmony collision have surfaced in the Istanbul Research Institute’s archive. Many thanks to Gülru Tanman for flagging them to us. These images add real texture to the story.

Kavram tarihçilerinin yazdıklarını okurken Humpty Dumpty’nin şu sözünü bazen hatırlamaları gerektiğini düşünüyorum: “Bir kelimeyi kullandığımda, yalnızca benim ona verdiğim anlama gelir, ne eksik ne fazla.”

New publication! If you’re interested in celebrity afterlives, digital resurrection, and the politics of iconic dead leaders in a platform age, I think you’ll find it a thought-provoking (and occasionally weird) read.

Her metnin, diğer her şeyin yanı sıra, bir oyun daveti olmasını arzularım. Bu metni Atatürk’ü artık bir celebrity olarak ele alma, Türkiye’deki necro-branding üzerine düşünme ve hologramlara speculative realist bir yaklaşım oluşturma daveti olarak görüyorum.

Bu yıl içime sinen birkaç metin yazma şansım oldu. Okurun metnin hangi disipline ait olduğunu anladığını anda ontolojisinin değişmesini kabul edecek o kadar az dergi var ki…

If you’re into celebrity, technology, Turkish politics – or all of the above – you might enjoy this one.

If you can’t access it, feel free to DM me (or Utku).

Together with Utku Can Akın, we look at how holographic Atatürks rework the founding father’s image through digital resurrection, necro-branding, speculative realism and new forms of political pageantry.
