This document discusses a student project exploring the cultural practice of "loitering" in Turkey. It begins by defining loitering and explaining its historical meaning. Students then observed how loitering commonly occurs in groups and different contexts. They analyzed why people loiter, such as for socializing, and what activities take place. Based on these insights, the students proposed several design concepts to represent loitering in an interactive installation, including creating a "loitering area", using mirrors and glasses to observe loitering, and incorporating puppets and shadows to recreate loitering behaviors. The goal is to both reflect Turkish loitering culture and allow visitors to experience loitering.

This document summarizes an industrial design course titled "Advanced Project Development in Industrial Design" taught during the 2011-2012 spring semester. The course aimed to explore dynamics of culture by examining everyday life practices shaped by modernization in public spaces through urban equipment. Some examples of loitering spaces discussed were open-to-public offices and places suitable for passing time. The installation created for the course featured Ottoman furniture to shape sitting postures and social interaction.
The document summarizes an art installation project that explores Turkish coffee fortune telling as a cultural practice. Visitors are given headphones and encounter stories and meanings created from coffee fortunes on screens. They can listen to interpretations of fortunes from opened coffee cups and record their own to contribute. After drinking coffee, visitors provide their cups which are then interpreted on a screen, and they can record their own creation. They receive an email following up on the process and fortunes. The installation aims to reflect Turkish culture through the meaning-making process of fortune telling with coffee.
This document summarizes a project exploring cultural differences in practices through observations of everyday life in public spaces. It focuses on the practice of "loitering" or spending idle time socializing. Key points discussed include:
- Loitering provides a way to socialize, relax and spend free time through activities like eating, drinking, smoking and playing games.
- Urban spaces have become common places for loitering with modernization, though it originally occurred in more intimate settings like homes and stores.
- The document proposes design concepts like creating dedicated loitering areas, ways to make existing spaces feel more intimate for small groups, and utilizing objects commonly associated with loitering.
The overall aim
This document is a summary of a final presentation for an industrial design course. It describes a project called LitterAlly, which is an interactive urban installation designed to reveal cultural dynamics through research and design. The project aims to discover how culture is reproduced through social relations and practices manifested in the use of urban equipment.

1) The document discusses culture within society and presents different perspectives on culture including how it functions socially and is shaped by political and economic forces.
2) It examines how culture relates to ideas of subculture, counterculture, and cultural expressions. It also explores how culture intersects with social structures, the valorization of knowledge, and the society of spectacle.
3) The document analyzes topics like cultural institutions, initiatives, and politics. It suggests culture needs to be understood in plural ways and how political analysis is necessary to understand the relation between culture and power structures within society.
Towards a Political Aesthetic of Everyday Life Zeliha Uyurca
This document summarizes Ben Highmore's paper "Towards a Political Aesthetic of Everyday Life". It discusses how neoliberalism has shaped individualism and affected people's everyday lives. It also examines how habits help people cope with extraordinary events by maintaining ordinary routines, but can also reinforce the status quo. The document argues that an aesthetic politics of the ordinary should imagine a dynamic culture that encourages habits of change alongside habits of stability and comfort.
Michel de Certeau Poetics of Everyday LifeZeliha Uyurca
Michel de Certeau analyzed everyday life through a poetics framework. He viewed everyday practices as tactics of resistance that users employ within the strategies and systems constructed by others. De Certeau was interested in the peculiar logics of everyday activities and how they leave traces in archives. His work provided a method for listening to the everyday life and foregrounding it, rather than treating it as mere background.
The document discusses key concepts in anthropology including ethnographic fieldwork, culture, cultural anthropology, and social anthropology. It describes how anthropologists study culture through fieldwork, examines different definitions and perspectives of culture, and outlines the historical development of cultural and social anthropology from early 20th century evolutionism to modern approaches integrating social theory and ethnography.
Michel de Certeau's document outlines his analysis of everyday practices and tactics. It discusses how consumers engage in hidden cultural production through their everyday activities like reading, talking, and cooking. It differentiates between strategies of large institutions and the tactics of everyday users to manipulate events. Everyday tactics allow the weak to gain victories over the strong through clever tricks and taking advantage of opportunities.
Social anthropology studies human social behavior and processes across different cultures and societies. It aims to understand social structures, functions, and organizations by observing what people actually do in their social environments. Some challenges social anthropologists face include raw materials like certain traditions disappearing as societies change over time. They must adapt their studies to contemporary issues and compare social phenomena across various human groups.

8. Using Words and Structure of language is affected by:
• Social Life
– Interest, hobbies, social relations to others influence the existence of vocabulary,
use of language.
• Family Uprising
– Language and words are learned first in family. Family structures influence the
use of language and words.
• Education
– Educational institutions help the agent how to use language effectively , increase
the vocabulary and express our feelings, thoughts, values by using words.
• Habitats
– Spaces in where languages are used affect the existence vocabulary, words
used in everyday, intonations and emphasis of words.

10. LANGUAGE:
• Language enables people to perceive, understand, produce and share
what meaning they collectively give to things around them,
• Linguistic differences are also often seen as the mark of another culture,
and they very commonly create divisiveness among neighboring peoples
or even among different groups of the same nation,
• Language as a means of representation enables the people to interact
and construct meaning thus contributing to a culture ,
• By expressing/communicating/broadcasting and thus representing his
thoughts in the form of language (be it numeric, symbolic, written or
verbal representation), man forms a community.
