A little bit odd I guess, but I still believe in experience. It has often been considered as humanistic. Central, privileged, and rational were some terms we, modern individuals, associated this notion with. Inspired by thinkers who invert such views, I aim to foreground what is on the background, on the margin; what is overlooked and undervalued, in my academic journey. By doing so, I particularly attempt to pay attention to layers of relations; such words as more-than-human, phenomenology, materiality, form, sense, mood, kinaesthetics, feminism, plant-based, blue humanities, and ecology strongly resonate with me. Experience is a possibility.
Holding an MA in Cinema Studies from Stockholm University (2013) and a PhD in Communication Sciences from Hacettepe University (2021), I work as a lecturer.
Currently I am interested in analyzing experimental/scientific forms ranging from early cinema to contemporary art practice. Click to see my writing.
I live in Kırşehir, love woods and the sea, bike, run and swim.
If you want to grab some coffee and discuss/speculate on philosophical problems, do not hesitate to contact me.
