Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines the emergence of Nobel Prize-winning Turkish scientist Aziz Sancar as a scientific persona model. After receiving the Nobel Prize in 2015, Sancar’s nationalistic tendencies and close relationship with incumbent Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi – AKP) leaders opened up a wide range of discussions on how a scientist’s relationship with politics should be intellectually interpreted. Focusing on the case of Aziz Sancar, this article examines the specific contextual conditions in which a scientist expresses his identity and how it is interpreted by the public. To this end, the aim of this work is to present an in-depth analysis of the discussions that took place in Ekşi Sözlük, a popular social media platform acting as an online forum in Turkey, and news from the national media and to scrutinize how a scientific persona is conceived in Turkey and how Aziz Sancar has been ‘de-scienticized’ in the heavy polarized Turkish political atmosphere.
本文考察了诺贝尔奖得主土耳其科学家阿齐兹·桑卡尔作为科学人格模型的出现。2015年获得诺贝尔奖后，桑卡尔的民族主义倾向以及与现任正义与发展党(Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi - AKP)领导人的密切关系，引发了关于科学家与政治关系应该如何理性解释的广泛讨论。本文以Aziz Sancar的案例为重点，考察了科学家表达自己身份的具体背景条件，以及公众对其身份的解读。为此，这项工作的目的是深入分析ek(土耳其一个受欢迎的社交媒体平台，作为一个在线论坛)Sözlük上发生的讨论，以及来自国家媒体的新闻，并仔细研究土耳其如何构想科学人物，以及Aziz Sancar如何在土耳其严重两极分化的政治氛围中被“去科学化”。
期刊介绍：
The aim of the journal is to establish a line of communication with these regions of Europe. Previously isolated from the European mainstream, the Balkan and Black Sea regions are in need of serious comparative study as are the individual countries, no longer "at the edge" of Europe. The principal disciplines covered by the journal are politics, political economy, international relations and modern history; other disciplinary approaches are accepted as appropriate. The journal will take both an academic and also a more practical policy-oriented approach and hopes to compensate for the serious information deficit on the countries under consideration.
