    Presentation of Nuri Bilge Ceylan and his cinema in the Turkish media
    (Univ Pittsburgh, Univ Library System, 2018) Parlak, Zafer; Isik, Mehmet
    Nuri Bilge Ceylan is the most famous Turkish film director with numerous international prizes. However, Ceylan's presentation by the Turkish media is far from emphasizing his success, talent, creativity, style, technique, and cinematography. He often falls victim to undeserved and superficial criticism of "would be" critics who openly confess they did not watch Ceylan's movies. He is sometimes portrayed as a political figure and critic of the present day Turkish politics and system. This article focuses on how two mainstream Turkish newspapers, columnists and microbloggers portrayed and reacted to Ceylan and his cinema after his film Winter Sleep won the top prize (the Golden Palm) at Cannes Film Festival in 2014 and the reasons behind this portrayal.

    VI: Rhinoceros of oceania: Psychological operations, propaganda, social engineering and perception management in G. Orwell's 1984 and E. Ionesco's Rhinoceros
    (Peter Lang AG, 2021) Parlak, Zafer
    Our emotions and perception of reality can be controlled and manipulated. The thin line between normal and abnormal can be obliterated by means of propaganda, social engineering, perception management and psychological operations and during "abnormal" times such as social upheavals, revolutions and wars. They are the most crucial tools that move individuals and masses to unquestioning submission. The ends they promise are enough to justify all means to be employed. This paper attempts to shed light to employment of past and present social engineering and propaganda methods with references to George Orwell's 1984 and Eugene Ionesco's Rhinoceros that highlighted the irresistible power of perception management and mass psychology. Orwell's 1984 points out how successful social engineering can be at shaping people's reasoning power and manipulating their fears by means of a never- ending war in which allies and foes are gradually interchanged. Ionesco's Rhinoceros is about how the people of a small town become rhinoceros. It exemplifies a symbolic transformation of how "normal" is transformed into "abnormal" thus it reveals what "imposed confusion" can lead to.
