This research represents an interpretative framework questioning the contradictions of urban transformation in \u00c7in\u00e7in through the lens of labor and work. \u00c7in\u00e7in is an informal name of one of the oldest gecekondu districts in Ankara. It is standing in front of Ankara Castle in the old town Ulus, constituting a significant part of the urban fabric of Alt\u0131nda\u011f. The district has been widely known with crime phenomena and high levels of poverty since the sixties. In 2005, Alt\u0131nda\u011f Municipality and TOK\u0130 association initiated a deep transformation from gecekondus to the multi-floored gated TOK\u0130 blocks in \u00c7in\u00e7in. The transformation is a contradictory process for its residents. On the one hand it led to different new forms of crime and worsened life conditions; and on the other hand it has been seen as a hope to benefit from the rising land interest. Within this light, a fieldwork conducted in 2018 May to August, problematizing the gecekondus as diverse landscapes of labor and approaching the urban history of \u00c7in\u00e7in as a history of labor. The conceptualization of “works” in this frame raises further questions on non-labor market works and changing conditions of “marginal workers” within the processes of urban transformation. The informants narrated their way of making spatial identities through work, subversions of works and effects of changing spatialities over the existing works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G\u00fcl\u015fah Ayka\u00e7 is affiliated in the Department of Architecture at Middle East Technical University as a PhD candidate (2015-present). She earned her BA (2005-2009) and MA (2009-2013) degrees in the Department of Architecture at Istanbul Technical University (Istanbul, Turkey). Her MA thesis, which is on dance, performance, body and space, proposes a new research methodology to explore and remap urban space. Within the framework of her MA thesis titled Discovering Movement as an Experimental Research Area in Architecture, and supervised by Prof. Dr. Semra Ayd\u0131nl\u0131, she studied the social-spatial representations of Istanbul neighborhoods Tarlaba\u015f\u0131 and Kumkap\u0131 under ongoing controversial urban transformation. Since she shifted her studies to biopolitics and transformation of urban space, she is currently working on the urban transformation of \u00c7in\u00e7in which is one of the oldest gecekondu districts of Ankara. Under the supervision of Prof. Dr. G\u00fcven Arif Sarg\u0131n, her PhD research aims to explore the collective narratives of urbanization and urban transformation emerged within a particular spatial culture through work and labor. Awarded with Fulbright Scholarship, she has currently been conducting her research at North Carolina State University in the US.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
