The topic of this study concerns the ways concepts of culture and civilization are handled in Turkish Sociology. Our purpose in this study is to analyze the opinions in Turkish Sociology that argue that the concepts of culture and civilization refer to a single unit or different ones. The purpose is only to address how the conceptual pair of culture and civilization is assessed in traditional and contemporary Turkish sociology. In this respect, the study has been focused on the following two questions, 1. How have Turkish sociologists explained the concepts of culture and civilization? 2. What kind of benefits has uniting or separating these concepts yielded? Turkish thinkers and sociologists have adopted the general definitions of culture and civilization in the relevant literature; in general, they have acknowledged a distinction between material and spiritual cultures within the debates concerning culture and civilization and they have attributed the material one to civilization and the spiritual one to culture. This perception has yielded practical benefits. In this way, they have intended to nationalize civilization, render it congruous with our own culture and internationalize it without undergoing assimilation. The idea of not separating culture and civilization has arisen from efforts to find a solution to the question of national culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on French author Marcel Cohen's In Search of Lost Ladino, written in Ladino published in 1985 in Madrid, and analyzes questions of memory and ethnic identity in the work with a deconstructive approach. Lost Ladino brings together questions of exile, multi-lingualism, minority status, assimilation and uprooting, while exploring Sephardic collective identity within its larger historical context, from the 1492 expulsion from Spain, to the rise and fall of Ottoman Empire and to contemporary France. Cohen's central concern in writing Lost Ladino is to reconstruct the lost world of Sephardic community. He does so by using an almost inaccessible childhood language; by giving accounts of Sephardic customs and cultural history; by incorporating the heritage of Ladino poetry and songs, and by acts of recollection and imagination. By rereading the text through deconstructive analysis, this article argues that it offers more than a conventional diaspora narrative. Linguistic and textual gaps, slips, ambivalences and inconsistencies point to a central conflict in the narration, between imagining home as a securely enclosed and fixed entity and acknowledging its destabilized version grounded in the recognition that unity is transitory. The dialogic nature of the text challenges Cohen's emphasis on loss and dissociation and uncovers its potential to imagine other configurations of belonging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ziya Gökalp, who lived within the decline of Ottoman Empire and tried to do something important for it, found the salvation in strengthening the society, He formalized the process of strengthening under the titles of "Turkification-Islamization-Modernization" which is also known as trinity of Gökalp. Ziya Gökalp considering culture and civilization as two different concepts defines civilization as the combination of concepts that are carried out through methods and diffused from one society to another by imitation, whereas culture is the senses which cannot be carried out through methods and cannot be diffused among the nations. Among these descriptions, he places science and technology within the meaning of civilization which is considered to be an international concept, and he does not consider any problem in their acquisition. Gökalp believed the fact that the existed socio-economic and political problems can only be solved on the basis of science. So, his view of the concept of science and his opinions on the sources, subject and development of science are the basic elements of this study. Thus, in this article, borderless and ageless approach of Ziya Gökalp, who has prepared the ideological foundations of the republic, the concept of science is tried to be discussed.

Serious scientific studies and previously undisclosed archive documents have been published in Bulgaria recently. These publications prepared on the basis of oppression and assimilation contain highly important information in terms of clarifying the forced or ìvoluntaryî migrations of the Turkish and Muslim populations and the resistance shown by the Bulgarian Turks against the oppression applied. The Bulgarian authorities, who wish to decrease the number of the Turkish population constantly, have never given up the idea of forced assimilation and the forced migration to expel this population they considered dangerous. In this paper, in light of archive documents and sources, the struggle of the Turks in Bulgaria during the 1984-1989 period against the melting pot policy has been emphasized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

First, the concept of popular etymology in linguistics, and the status of this concept in Arabic philology are explained.
