    Dialogic weaving: a favorable tension between design and craft
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Altay, Can; Oz, Gizem
    Focusing on a process where a designer embeds herself in craftspeople's workshops with the intention of 'learning from inside' and 'making together'; this paper proposes pathways for considering collaboration between designers and craftspeople via digital fabrication and weaving. The tension of forces that make weaving possible, act as an analogy for this collaboration as well as providing the title of the project as 'One Over, One Under'. The project proposes a mode of working and a spectrum of outcomes where the designer has a first-hand experience of production techniques, engages in a serious and continuous dialogue through making, and develops an intervention that also brings forth her own skill set (introducing digital fabrication and structural variations), thus transforming the conventions and boundaries between established roles and manufacturing techniques. An experiment that resulted in a series of objects considering both the technologies of production and the input of the designer, this process not only increases the potentials that crafts hold for the field of design, but it also offers possibilities of collaboration and a further articulation of the design act.

    Issues of Power and Representation in/of the Local Context: The role of self-reflexivity and positionality in design research
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Oz, Gizem; Timur, Sebnem
    This article links design research in local contexts to the methodological issues of positionality and self-reflexivity. A critical examination of design's relationship with the local context indicates a need for self-reflexive methodologies as means of addressing power imbalances in the field, deciphering prejudices, and maintaining receptivity to diverse ways of knowing and approaches to knowledge. Drawing upon the first author's experience of fieldwork in a Turkish village, this article delves into the fluidity of positioning in the field. It self-reflexively examines the impact of the positionality of identities claimed and assigned during the research process, the relations and interactions that occurred in the field and the construction of the research text. While promoting self-reflexivity as a tool for critically engaged research, the article also addresses how design researchers in the local context might associate these methodological insights to their own studies.

    Situated Products: Making Do in the Public Spaces of Istanbul
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Horsanali, Nur; Altay, Can; Oz, Gizem
    On the streets of Istanbul, inhabitants generate situated solutions to their daily problems with the limited means they have ready at hand. Objects are repaired, adapted, or modified, and everyday life brings palliative articulations and situated solutions to seemingly complex problems. With the conviction that design, especially the field of product design, can benefit from paying closer attention to such production, we have developed a growing inventory of situated and transformed products and materials, focusing on the surrounding culture we have labeled as halletmek. Conducting this research from within the design field was crucial for us. This, we believe, is the way to incorporate these products into the discourse of design, and thus to position the sample of sixty-seven objects, out of the many we examined, as design products. Through this inventory, we discuss how to position and make visible these site-specific design/production practices and the culture from which such situated products emerge.
