Book Part The Biconditionality of Art‐Politics(2021) Çağlar, BarışIt is high time to correct the falsehood that art is a luxury. The fact of the matter is that art is actually a necessity without which politics are remarkably empoverished. It is all the more urgent to correct that falsehood in our current era owing to the pressures of globalization. Art is not distinct from life at large because art is life at our mirroring-minds. As such, it is not separate from politics. Both politics and art are about designing how we live. Figuring out problems and implementing response policies constitutes the most fundamental activities of that design. Both art and politics are the processes through which we humans shape life. Indeed, this is exactly the commonality where art and politics meet. However, the reason why politics all around the world has become lowly and insensitive to the demands of the citizens, and the reason why politics remains helplessly uncreative in solving local, national, regional and global problems is the contemporary absence of aesthetics in our societies.Article Suggestions in digital discourse: The case of MOOC reviews(Elsevier, 2025) Çiftçi, HatimeThis study examines the speech act of suggestions in digital discourse through linguistic and functional approaches and explores how suggestions are performed along with co-occurring discourse-pragmatic particles, supporting moves, and aspects in their propositional content. More specifically, this paper presents findings regarding the speech act of suggestions in MOOC reviews as a recent and emerging genre of digital discourse. Embracing a discourse analytic perspective, this study indicates how suggestions are situated within the context they are used, and their multi-functionality is evidently relevant to the linguistic choices and supporting moves by MOOC learners, going beyond the utterance level meaning. Additionally, suggestion head acts involve certain aspects of online courses or their experience where learners often express their expectations or opinions for improvement. Overall, this study contributes to speech act research in digital discourse and provides insights into the use of suggestions in the discourse of MOOC reviews.
