Journalism \ 1-1
With each passing day, we understand better that the period of introversion shaped around the adventure of the nation-state creates a serious limit in the world of thought. This can be clearly observed when agendas, concepts, and priorities in handling issues are followed. It is possible to say that the period when the signs of overcoming this limitation were seen in the most concrete way was the years between 1960 and 1980, when the multi-party life became relatively permanent. To a certain extent, this period, in which different layers of the public are directly involved in the process, continues to be influential today, both in terms of its specific weight in Turkey's recent history, as well as new searches, channels, institutionalizations, diversifications and discourse differentiations in the history of Islamist thought and publishing. .
In addition, the fact that a significant part of the people who took an active role in the activities of the period are still alive, allows a tested eye to examine a reading to be made from today. Considering that a very important part of the cadres who carry today's Turkey in politics, bureaucracy, civil institutions and intellectual fields are the generations that grew up in the 1960-1980 period, the importance of those years will be better understood. In conclusion, in order to better understand the present, it is quite clear that it is necessary to closely examine the years of 1960-80, which is almost the womb of today. Therefore, both contributing to the understanding of the process we are witnessing and providing the opportunity to create a bridge between these living historical witnesses and new generations reveals both the intention and the value of this study.

CONSTRUCTION OF DISPLACED REALITY VOLUME 1 - Manipulation in the Media and Communication Professions
“The Serpent Adam and Eve; the devil, Cain to kill Abel; Mephistopheles deceives Faust, and the fox deceives the crow. people to each other; sometimes one deceives oneself.” These are the opening lines of a chapter in the book, the message is clear: Manipulation is not new. As if one were sworn to deceive and be deceived, he displays an astonishingly consistent attitude! To attribute this situation, which is the common experience of humanity, to fate would be to miss an important issue. Because, according to logic and psychology, mind can be tempted; Emotions can be manipulated. The human mind is not that perfect.

“Manipulation of the human mind, emotions and behaviors with different purposes and techniques is one of the incurable diseases of the history of thought and social relations. Although the type, technique and environment of manipulation vary, the subject of manipulation deserves a special value within the framework of communication studies. The massification of communication and the new features of modern media tools can be seen among the main factors that advance this situation, which is described as a disease. The phenomenon of manipulation should be examined at varying levels in the fields of communication science, on which different fields of expertise focus. It has been seen as both a scientific necessity and a moral obligation that communication scientists deal with this phenomenon from different aspects. From this point of view, this second volume of The Construction of Distorted Reality deals with the manipulative aspect of communication through trolling, perception and impression management, data journalism, ethics, critical thinking, post-truth, media literacy and many more.

In recent years, Islamophobia, as an expression of fear based on prejudice and discrimination, has become one of the most fundamental psychological, social and political problems that lead to antipathy, hatred, violence and hostility towards Muslims all over the world. Exclusion in processes related to political administration, social responsibilities and employment; discrimination in the provision of services such as education and health; Prejudice in media and daily conversations and in daily life both verbal and physical violence produces many negative results. The media plays a very active role in the production and shaping of the perception that reveals these results. The effects of Islamophobic elements, which spread from traditional media elements to new media, have not yet been adequately addressed academically and sufficient information has not been produced to affect the policies on this issue. This study, which includes some important book reviews in addition to sixteen articles, is expected to constitute an important source for the questioning of the relation between the media and Islamophobia, as well as the relation between media and religion in Turkey.
LIGHT from the British Ottoman Prisoner Camp in Egypt to the Past, Present, and Tomorrow (1919-1920)
One of the camps in Egypt, where the soldiers of the Ottoman Army, who fought on the fronts of the First World War, and the soldiers who were taken prisoner by the British, were kept, is the "Tura Prisoner Camp" near Cairo. The war ended in 1919, but the captives could not be released yet.
In the camp, the captive Turkish officers, who are not detached from the world, publish a handwritten newspaper in order to protect their resistance, to make evaluations to prepare today for tomorrow, to keep the struggle for freedom and patriotism mentally, even though they are in captivity financially: LIGHT!
To live is to build tomorrow today, not yesterday. Those in the camp are also conscious of this. “It should not be forgotten that people who look at the ukba rather than the world; They neglect their welfare between the cradle and the grave.” The intact bodies of those found in Tura are the most valuable gift for "the homeland whose cemeteries have increased and its vigor has decreased". "Life; It is not just a heavy ordeal that ends in death, as we understand it.” Turkish soldiers living in captivity, the Turkish Nation "If it was defeated in China, it was defeated in India. If he left Turan, he entered Iran. If it sank in Persia, it came out in Byzantium." they know the truth. They have to create a happy tomorrow out of a great disaster.
To be defeated is not to die. Those who are imprisoned behind the fence in Tura are the life of tomorrow. Them; “They are the lights of a poor land.” They cannot waste their time in captivity in vain, they cannot laugh and have fun. “A generation that does not think about tomorrow in every minute that interferes with the past; It is not capable of standing up cross-legged beings.”
LIGHT; “Phoenix” reborn after a century from the ashes of captivity…

Recent developments in the world and in Turkey have accelerated the studies on the history of thought and brought these discussions to the center. Islamism, too, constitutes one of the most vibrant areas of Turkey's political and intellectual life. The increase and interest in the number of discussions and publications on Islamic thought determined the quality of the studies, while at the same time allowing the sources to diversify. As in all political views, press and publications have an important place in Islamist thought. Ideas in this field have carried out publishing activities in order to convey their message to large masses. In this sense, in order to understand the history of Islamism, it is necessary to understand the history of the press.
The Islamist Journals Project (İDP), which was implemented by the Scientific Studies Association (ILEM) in 2013, aimed to add a new dimension to the thought and debate on Islamism and to contribute to the rethinking of Islamist issues through journals, which are the most important primary source of Islamist thought. Within the scope of the project, these journals were archived and made available digitally. The fact that the printed source has become accessible has illuminated a large area in the context of the determination, explanation and comparison of words, actions and facts in this field. The IDP Oral History study further expanded this field and colored and diversified the period researches through the personal testimonies of the actors who gave life to the printed sources. This book in your hand includes interviews with 34 people within the scope of oral history. This book, in which 34 different names testify, gives a lot of information about the adventure, transformations and fractures of Islamist thought in Turkey after 1970. These narratives may not radically change what we know, on the contrary, they may confirm the presuppositions we have in the study of the period, provide a new perspective, or point to a point that is not always said behind what is said. What we want to do with this book is not to confirm the information and fact in the printed sources, but to approach the period under study in different ways.

In this book, it is aimed to reflect the political view of The Times Newspaper, which was considered as the "semi-official newspaper" of England, the biggest political power of the period, to the Balkan Wars, which is also considered to be the forerunner of the First World War. Although the main subject of the book is the Balkan Wars, from the Unionist figures of the period to the Ottoman Armenians; Many different topics published in The Times, from discussions on Thessaloniki to the proposal for the Ottoman Empire, whose map, financial and administrative division were almost identical to the Treaty of Sevres of 1920, were also discussed under different headings.
Confirming the argument that the First World War was a war of partitioning the Ottoman Empire, nearly half of The Times' overall pre-war one-year editorial deals directly with Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. In this war of division, the rivalry between the Great Powers also took place in Paris, St. Petersburgh was reflected in newspaper columns with telegrams from Vienna and Berlin; In these capitals, the Ottoman government, especially the Union and Progress administrators, was followed with the meticulousness of an intelligence officer. In this respect, the Istanbul correspondent, who could be considered the main source of The Times on the Ottoman Empire at that time, was the British intelligence officer working in the Ottoman lands since 1905 and the person who trained the famous British agent Lawrence at the Cairo station; It is not a coincidence that readers' letters come from people like Gertrude Bell and Mark Sykes, Sykes of the Sykes-Picot Agreement...
