Workshop: Studying the Arts in Society. New Developments in Research and Training, a workshop organized by the Netherlands Institute in Turkey and the Arts, Culture and Media department of the University of Groningen, April 14, 2011, 09.30-18.00. Over the past decades, it has become common practice among scholars in the arts studies (visual arts, literature, film, theatre, music, new media, etc.) to give central attention to the arts within their social context. The developments of analytical approaches such as New Historicism, sociologies of the arts and Cultural Studies testifies of the fact that the (aesthetic) autonomy of the arts itself has become an object of research rather than a point of departure for academic studies. Whether the methods used are (critical) hermeneutics, sociological or cognitive, among a vast majority of studies today the arts are seen as specific cultural practices that are embedded within broader cultural networks that together form what we call society. This workshop investigates the consequences of these developments and the opportunities they provide. It has three main aims: (1) to explore a variety of approaches, in research and teaching, of the functioning of the arts in society today; (2) to provide a platform for cross-pollination between the department of Arts, Culture and Media at the University of Groningen and participating departments of Istanbul universities regarding both research and education and (3) thus, to explore the basis for structural cooperation between our universities in research, education, staff exchange and student exchange. The presentations will deal with the development of new and promising approaches within distinct fields of interest, namely (1) Art policy and management, (2) Art education, among others from a cognitive perspective, and (3) Ethical and ideological issues in both artworks and art criticism. Speakers: Murat Belge (Istanbul Bilgi University) Selen Ansen (Istanbul Bilgi University) Deniz Bayrakdar (Kadir Has University) Melis Behlil (Kadir Has University) Barend van Heusden (University of Groningen) Quirijn van den Hoogen (University of Groningen) Aylin Kalem (Istanbul Bilgi University) Liesbeth Korthals Altes (University of Groningen) Levent Soysal (Kadir Has University) Deniz Ünsal (Istanbul Bilgi University) *** Son on yıllarda sanat (görsel sanatlar, edebiyat, film, tiyatro, müzik, yeni medya, vs.) üzerine çalışan araştırmacılar arasında sanata sosyal bağlamı içinde yaklaşmak genel bir uygulama haline gelmiştir. Yeni Tarihselcilik, sanat ve Kültürel Çalışmaların sosyolojileri gibi analitik yaklaşımlardaki gelişmeler, sanatın (estetik) otonomisinin akademik çalışmalar için bir çıkış noktası olmaktan çok kendi başına bir araştırma konusu haline geldiğine tanıklık etmektedir. Kullanılan yöntemler (kritik) hermeneutik, sosyolojik ya da bilişsel olsa da, günümüzde yapılmakta olan araştırmaların büyük çoğunluğu sanatı toplumu oluşturan daha geniş kültürel ağlar içindeki belirli kültürel pratikler olarak görmektedir. Bu çalıştay söz konusu gelişmelerin ve sundukları fırsatların sonuçlarını incelemek için düzenlenmektedir. Çalışmanın üç temel amacı vardır: (1) günümüz toplumunda sanatın işleyişine dair araştırma ve eğitimdeki çeşitli yaklaşımları incelemek, (2) Groningen Üniversitesi Sanat, Kültür ve Medya Bölümü ile çalışmaya İstanbul’dan katılan diğer üniversiteler arasında araştırma ve eğitim alanlarında karşılıklı etkileşim için bir platform oluşturmak ve (3) böylece üniversitelerimiz arasında araştırma, eğitim, öğretim üyesi ve öğrenci değişimi için gerekli yapısal işbirliğinin temellerini araştırmak. Yapılacak sunumlar farklı ilgi alanlarındaki yeni ve umut verici gelişmeler üzerinde yoğunlaşacaktır. Bu alanlar (1) Sanat politikaları ve yönetimi, (2) Diğerlerine ek olarak bilişsel bir bakış açısı ile sanat eğitimi, ve (3) Sanat eserleri ve sanat eleştirisinde etik ve ideolojik meseleler olarak belirlenmiştir.
