Now that draft sent, Erkan can enjoy Saturday night derby between Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe. It is an away game for Beşitaş. Photo, from Beşiktaş-Eskişehir game, credit goes to Milliyet daily.
I have just sent the 10th (last) chapter. This means I have just sent the revised draft.
I will be arriving Houston on Monday at noon and I will have 22 days before I fly back to Istanbul. I hope this gives me enough time for any possible editing etc my readers suggest.
My defense day (8 December) happens to be the first day of Feast of Sacrifice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feast_of_Sacrifice). Although I have lost much of beliefs, it is still a social phenomenon and you are supposed to be happy when there is a feast. Hopefully, this might be the best Feast I will have in near times.
Current list of chapters:
001 – An Intro
002 – A snapshot: Yol vs. Kapı: Journalistic Metaphors in Understanding EU-Turkey Relations
003 – Methodological issues
004 – Blogging as a research tool for ethnographic fieldwork
005 – An outline of Turkish press
006 – Ways of Production
007 – Internet Urban Legends on the EU
008 – The EU process; an assemblage of ideas, events and agents
009 – Conceptual Wars
010- Turkish Journalists: Independent political actors?
All the best with your defence, Erkan! I’m interested in your urban legends chapter – is it online somewhere?
Thanks John! Not yet online. I will send a copy after the defense, after making some more revisions!
