Internal Actors

The primary aim of this paper is to examine all the stage directions in Seneca’s Phaedra. Within this interpretive framework, we will try to look more closely at the play’s stagecraft and to illuminate its metatheatricality by giving emphasis to various aspects of the performance ranging from props to the theatrical space itself. What follows it is a schematic overview of the conclusions reached throughout this paper: (1) I have tried to demonstrate Phaedra’s role as the poet’s double, since she conceives the main plot. Thus, Phaedra’s phrase mentita finxi (1194) reveals her authorial control over the action which requires the intervention of the Nurse as a plot–maker. (2) In order to understand the mise en scène I have given emphasis to whatever happens on stage from actors’ physical positions (gestus) – movements – proxemics (i.e. physical interaction between the actors’ bodies variously positioned in space) and the quality of speech delivery to the presence of props, masks, clothing–hairstyle details recovered on the basis of textual evidence. (3) I have also outlined the ways in which Phaedra draws attention to its own “theatricality” by including the character of the Nurse as an internal director and actor. (4) Of particular interest are the ways in which Seneca displays theatrical or narrative self–consciousness through the use of words such as nuntius and ordo that recall the genetic conventions of a messenger–speech by drawing attention to its narratological aspects. (5) I also suggest that the self–referential quality of metalinguistic comments such as nefandus, fari, lingua, proloquere, are used to emphasize the performability of this passage. (6) Finally, the dynamic link between speech and vision is a feature with special meaning for a viewing audience.

This study focuses on explaining of the public policy-making through the political coalition approach.
Within the institutional change literature. The research concern is
responded in institutional conversion which, is a specific area in institutional change
literature, is how existing institution drift away from their origin functions and how
they are displaced to serve for new purpose?

Governing institutions change has been considered on political science in late years.
The following years, One of the particularly growing research area is public policymaking issue in institutional change framework.Hall and Taylor, (1996), Steinmo,
Thelen and Longstreth, (1992) studies are prominent about this issue.
The concern of this area is following: when the non-radical institutional changes
consist and how this changes can be explained? The well-known responds of
these questions are stand on Streeck and Thelen (2005), Thelen (2004, 2009), Mahoney and Thelen (2009), studies that are relevant to the political-coalition approach.
In a political coalition approach; İnstitutional changes don’t simply reflect the
endogenous effects or environmental turbulence. İnternal actors and distributional
power conflict determine the institutional changes as well in policy-making process.
In this approach, institutional changes occur. However, institutions are not amended or
“decayed” to redirected to new purposes. The changes content “redeployment” of
existing institutions in unanticipated directions.
İn methodology, it is a theoric exploration study, through scanning literature. Firstly, I
have noted the explaining of public policy-making in institutional conversion literature.
Secondly I present and examine the political-coalition approach.

Türkiye AB’ye tam üye olma isteğiyle bağlantılı olarak birçok zorlukla karşılaşmaktadır. AB Kasım 2000’de Katılım Ortaklığı Belgesi’ni kabul ederek, Türkiye’nin Kopenhag siyasi kriterlerini yerine getirebilmek için yapması gereken reformları açıklamıştır. Türkiye-AB ilişkilerindeki tüm zorluklara rağmen iki taraf yavaş ama emin adımlarla birbirlerine yaklaşmaktadır. 40 yıl süren üyelik umutlarının ardından hangi siyasi süreç Türkiye’yi AB üyeliği kapısına kadar getirmiştir? Bu makale, bu sürecin bir yandan ülke içinde üyeliği destekleyenler ve üyeliğe karşı çıkanlar arasında, öte yandan Türk “müzakereciler veya oyuncular” ile AB’deki muhatapları arasındaki uzun ve zorlu bir “müzakere”den kaynaklandığı fikrini savunmaktadır.
