dc.description.abstract This essay explores the role of Istanbul's 'cultural productions' as components of the city's structure and texture. Istanbul is a city of tensions generated by its countless conflicting and divergent flows which are constantly influenced by socio-economic political and cultural fusions and confusions. It is constantly expanding both horizontally and vertically as evidenced by its central and peripheral settlements illegal dwellings and squatted lands. With each and every new inhabitant further cumulative cultural input is added to the city which also blends social exclusion and transgression (together with axiomatic de facto regulations). The city 'operates' as a jumbled mode of excessive information en_US]
dc.description.abstract the repetitive collapse and replenishment of this information overload opens up diverse 'realities'. Within this picture 'cultural productions' of the city have emerged as indicators of inhabitants' reactions exposing ways of coping with/surviving in the city. These cultural productions are locally temporarily and spontaneously produced. Consequently this essay investigates how such cultural productions have been processed by the inhabitants of the city since the 1980s and specifically focuses on the latest research and project models navigating through projects undertaken by academics artists and architects who correspond and have connections with international institutions - most notably in the field of contemporary art. Resume Cet essai examine le role des 'productions culturelles' d'Istanbul en tant que composantes de la structure et de la texture urbaines. Cette ville est faite de tensions generees par un nombre infini de flux contradictoires et divergents influences en permanence par des fusions et confusions socio-economiques politiques et culturelles. Elle ne cesse de se developper tant au plan horizontal que vertical comme le montrent ses implantations centrales et peripheriques ses habitats illegaux et ses terrains squattes. Chaque nouvel habitant apporte une contribution culturelle cumulative a la ville qui melange egalement exclusion sociale et transgression (ainsi que des regles axiomatiques de fait). La ville 'fonctionne' comme un enchevetrement d'informations excessives: l'effondrement et la reconstitution reiteres de cette surcharge d'informations revelent diverses 'realites'. Dans cette representation les 'productions culturelles' de la ville sont apparues comme des indicateurs des reactions des habitants traduisant leurs manieres d'affronter la ville et d'y survivre. Les modalites de ces productions sont locales temporaires et spontanees. L'etude s'interesse donc au traitement de ces productions culturelles par les habitants depuis les annees 1980 et porte en particulier sur les modeles de recherches et de projets les plus recents en passant par des travaux d'universitaires d'artistes ou d'architectes qui correspondent et ont des liens avec des institutions internationales notamment dans le domaine de l'art contemporain. en_US]
