4. RESEARCH

5. „„Modern people who has lost in consumer society
and mechanized, now have free (leisure)
time, however he does not know what to do with
and therefore tries to kill time. Because, consumer
society, first of all, erases creativity and awareness
for his environment from people, thus turns him into
absolute 'homo consumens'. There is no way to
have an active life in such condition, so people
have only to kill time in their remaining time.‟‟
Erich Fromm

19. ‘muhtemelen kotta ya da bodrum katta oturan, güneş ışığına hasret, temiz havaya
muhtaç, evin sıcağından muzdarip, briç klübünde takılamayacak kadar az eğitimli, alışverişte
saatler harcayamayacak kadar gariban, evde bir başına dört duvar arasında kafayı yiyecek
kadar yalnız, kocalarını erkenden gömmüş, beynini en azından ucubik sabah ya da evlenme
programlarıyla yıkamayan, çoluğu çocuğu okula işe yollamış, belki de bekleyecek birileri
olan, sevimli, kimseye zararı olmayan teyzelerdir.’ (eksisozluk)

21. Loitering
• “Loitering” in Turkey should be evaluated
based on the context
– Streets
– Malls
– Coffeehouses, Cafes
– Doorsteps, Storefronts
– Social Media
• The practice of different age groups and
different sexes differ

22. Why do people use Social Media in
Turkey?
• Leisure
• Socialization
Similar to “Loitering”
• Surveillance
• Being up to date
• Lollygaging, loafing around

23. Aim
• Our aim is to understand the reasons
behind wandering around idly on these
websites
• We belive there is a similarity between
spending time in the internet and loitering
in the streets

relations formation and social
transformations
– Public space, sociality, social
control, rumor, heterotopia, public opinion, the
mentality of the management, supervision
– Drinking coffee, having chat
(yarenlik), socializing, talking about politics
– Closed down for being a place for lazy
people, incitement

31. Historical Analysis of Coffeehouses
• Coffeehouses shapes EDL practices of
ordinary people and shapes the roles in their
social relations and functions
– tradesmen, merchants, provincial, kavass, clerk

• Drinking coffee in the coffeehouse is a group
activity
