2025-04-21T17:23:08+03:00

Visually impaired people have an important place in different fields of science and art. In Turkish culture, there are many scientists and artists who enlighten the society with their creativity and works despite being visually impaired. In Turkish Folk Literature, elements related to nature have generally been preferred to describe the beloved with abstract expressions. While talking about the beloved in their works, bards have used elements of nature and then directly included nature as the subject of their poems. It is noteworthy that visually impaired bards produce works related to nature despite losing their ability to see at a certain stage of their lives or being visually impaired from birth. In this study, the poems of visually impaired bard Fehmi Gür have been examined in terms of vocabulary, and it has been tried to determine how he perceives nature and how he describes it despite not being able to see it. The study was conducted using a qualitative research method and a descriptive scanning approach. The research was limited to the poems in the book titled Arapgirli Folk Poet Fehmi Gür prepared by Ramazan Çiftlikçi. Fehmi Gür lived in the Arapgir district of Malatya, wrote his poems in syllabic meter and used his name as a pen name. He intensively dealt with the flaws, mistakes and social corruptions in society in his poems. The fact that intuition and feeling replace the ability to see in the works of Fehmi Gür, who is visually impaired, and his ability to describe nature with emotional intensity are remarkable. This situation reveals that not being able to see can turn from an obstacle into a source of motivation for artistic production. It has been determined that Fehmi Gür reflects the physical world in his works by feeding on the perception of nature or tradition he establishes in his inner world.

The importance of leadership, appropriate technology selection, digital literacy, and long-term planning for effectively managing digital transformation in education is emphasized. Digital transformation is highlighted not as a short-term change but as a continuous process of development. Accordingly, the research aims to thoroughly examine the theoretical framework and practical outcomes of digital transformation in education.

2025-01-26T22:46:42+03:00

Throughout human history, a patriarchal attitude has been exhibited in almost every society and field. There are many different ideas and interpretations on this subject. In the field of psychology, Carl Gustav Jung is a name that needs to be examined considering his works and comments on the concepts of masculine and feminine. Carl Gustav Jung is one of the most important names in the field of psychology and the pioneer of analytical psychology. The aim of this study is to examine the concepts Jung put forward in his theory and the concept of the feminine. The title of analytical psychology, the concept of archetype and archetypes under this title are examined and the concept of feminine is emphasized. Since masculine and feminine elements are combined in our human nature, a man can live in his feminine part and a woman in her masculine part. The main issue is to establish a balance between these two. The modern woman realizes her ability to give love by reaching the highest point of pleasure only when she feels unconditional love. It is envisioned that only in such an exchange of love can femininity emerge and the awareness beyond love can be reached.
