ANCIENT GREEK SCULPTURE IN THE 20TH CENTURY WESTERN ART

Ancient Greek art and culture had served as a significant guide for Western civilisation for centuries. Greek philosophy, literature and mythology as well as art and architecture had a major impact on artists especially in the periods of Renaissance and Neoclassicism.

INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF PAPER ADDITIVE TO AVANOS POTTERY CLAY AND ARTISTIC CERAMIC APPLICATIONS

The lands of Anatolia we have been embracing as our homeland with the history of thousands of years hosted many cultures throughout the centuries. Art of ceramics inherited by us from these cultures has been revealed as various materials in every period of our lives. Archaeological excavations show that our history of ceramics dated to the Neolithic period. In Anatolia, embracing such a rich cultural history, many manufacturing centers in the field of traditional pottery still do exist. Avanos, among those centers, is a district of the province of Nevşehir located in the Central Anatolia region. Established on both shores of Kızılırmak, the district is one of the substantial settlements of the region known as Cappadocia. Due to the red soil of Kızılırmak, it contributed to the birth and development to the greatest extent of pottery within the region. The red soil of Avanos region provides opportunities for various research within the field of ceramics technology. In the study “paperclay”, which is also the subject matter of this study, the clay of Avanos region has been used. The paper containing clay is named as “paperclay” in English and takes part in the ceramic terminology with the same nomenclature. It is obtained by adding certain ratios of paper into the ceramic clay upon processing through various stages. In comparison of the paper containing clay with the traditional clay, it reveals numerous superior features. Based on the fact that cellulose, the raw material of the paper, forms a reticular structure in the clay, it eliminates the adverse effects such as fissures and cracking that may occur during drying. Paper containing clays are preferred by ceramic artists due to their positive features such as the large-sized ceramic form work facilitating the works and lightweight after kilned. The natural clay used in the Avanos pottery does not allow large-sized works as it results in fissures and cracking particularly as a result of rapid kilning during the artistic practices. Therefore, various tests have been conducted by adding paper in different ratios into the red clay used in Avanos pottery. Artistic practices have been performed based on the outcomes of the tests.

A COMPARISON ON THE WORKS OF EROL DENEC AND ERNST FUCHS

Fantastic Realism, rising from the surrealism movement, began with the Vienna Fantastic Realism school, founded in 1945 by Rudolf Hausner, Ernst Fuchs, Wolfgang Hutter, Anton Lehmden and Arik Brauer after World War II. Famous critic Prof. Johann Muschik named this core group "Fantastic Realists" due to the religious, mysterious subjects and symbolist approaches, that they dealt with in their works. In this research, the works of Ernst Fuchs (1930-2015), one of the world's leading representative of the fantastic realist art movement, "The Cross (1950)" and the "Human, Horse, Eagle Trio (1991)" by Erol Deneç (1941-…) are analyzed by using E. B. Feldmann’s "investigative art criticism" method, which is included in the discipline-based art education. E. B. Feldmann's method of "investigative art criticism"; consists of description, analysis, interpretation and judgment sub-titles. After examining the works independently, they were compared in terms of their similarities and differences. Despite the subject and technical richness of fantastic realism, a comparative study of the works of two artists from different lives and cultures produced with similar characteristics emphasizes the importance of the study, in this aspect it is thought that it will contribute to art education and shed light on researchers interested in the field.

A NEW PERIOD PROPOSAL FOR PUBLISHED FEMALE PORTRAIT

Due to the similarity of the hairdressing fashion on female head with the portraits of Domitia Longina written by J. Inan and E. A. Rosenbaum who have important studies about Roman imperial portrait art, Flavian Dynasty period was proposed directly. In the study in 1979, no typological distinction was made among the portraits of Domitia Longina and Domitia Longina portraits were limited to the Flavian Dynasty. Hairdressing fashion in the form of a spongy mass of hair, which is very important in identifying and dating this period, also looks like a wreath-like hair mass in Istanbul piece. This hair style is not similar to the hairdressing fashion of the portraits of Iulia Titi and Domitia Longina during the Flavian Dynasty. It is similar to the portraits of Domitia Longina in IIIrd type who was honoured after the Flavian Dynasty and of whom portraits were made with new hair fashion. Although this new hair fashion, which is dated to Nerva - Early Traianus period, is reminiscent of the Flavian Dynasty in essence, this hairdressing fashion in which the hair tresses are portraited more exaggerated should be dated after the Flavian Dynasty. Key Words: Portrait, Domitia Longina, IIIrd type, Nerva - Early Traianus period

DIPLOMATIC CONTACTS OF THE VIZIERS AT THE DAWN OF CONQUEST IN OTTOMAN-BYZANTINE RELATIONS

In early period of Ottoman Empire, vizier had an indisputable place. Viziers, especially after the conquest of Constantinople in 1453, liberated the empire, which started to be organized in the region of Bithynia, from the traditional Turkish Principality identity as well as its organizational structure. For this reason, it is not a coincidence that in the first period (1299/1302-1453), when poets like Ahmedi were sometimes satirized, the Ottoman Viziers were mostly dealt with in terms of their institutional aspects. Likewise, as researchers have revealed since the first years of the republic; while the Ottoman Viziers occupied important political positions in the Turkish states organized in Central Asia and Eastern Europe, they not only fulfilled the duties and responsibilities of these political positions, but also took initiatives to meet the military and parallel financial needs of the expanding empire. Undoubtedly, the most striking of these are the formation of the janissary corps and the financial system depending on it. On the other hand, there is no doubt that the military and financial revolutions that formed the cornerstone of Ottoman expansionism overshadowed the diplomatic mission of the viziers. Such that even in Fatih's Law, there are few clues regarding this issue, which is considered as the cornerstone of the institutionalization of the empire. The aforementioned code states that the vizierate is the most important position after the emperor, but this position is still an authority that is subject to control by various independent bureaucrats. However, the diplomatic mission of the viziers is uncertain in the early Ottoman perform works or studies, as in the royal decree. The aim of this perform works orstudies are to evaluate the first period Ottoman viziers with their diplomatic missions in the context of the conquest of Constantinople.

THE MEDIATING ROLE OF LIFE SATISFACTION ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL LABOR BEHAVIORS AND DEPRESSION

The aim of the study is to investigate the mediator role of life satisfaction in the relationship between emotional labor behaviors and depression levels among flight cabin crew. Participants were consisted of 222 (183 women and 39 men) between the ages from 23 to 45 (M=28.75, SD=4.63). Mediation modeling was tested by the bootstrapping sampling method (PROCESS-Model 4) and the results demonstrated that life satisfaction mediated the relationship between emotional labor behaviors, particularly surface acting, deep acting and naturally felt emotion, and depression. The findings provide information to understand the underlying mechanism of depression among workers especially work in an emotional labor industry and promising implications to improve intervention programs within life satisfaction among flight cabin crew for airlines companies.
