  • Description: The aim of this paper is to scrutinize the transformation in Istanbul, Yeldegirmeni, for understanding and interpreting the notion of culture within the context of globalisation. Yeldegirmeni is a historic neighbourhood of Istanbul, which is close to both public transportation routes and thriving nightlife and entertainment centre of Kadikoy district. In 2010, local-government-initiated urban regeneration project founded on arts and cultural activities, triggered the transformation in Yeldegirmeni, which attracts local and foreign users, but also tempts the capital and brings about threats of commodification of the urban space. The transformation in Yeldegirmeni, exhibits an alternative to most transformation projects that lead to commodification of space by reducing culture into a discourse. The theoretical framework of the paper is built upon Foucault's concept of "transdiscursive author" translated into the scope of urban reading, with a holistic approach to culture and space. As a constituent of the holistic approach, the transdiscursive reading, which is rooted in relational experience of the body-subject within the urban space, incorporates the theoretical framework with methodological tools. Interwoven with the theoretical framework, a transdiscursive reading is carried out in Yeldegirmeni and it is concluded that although Yeldegirmeni is not free from the threats of commodification, the existing neighbourhood culture is incorporated with the contemporary necessities of the locals, newcomers and visitors. Thus, the culture in Yeldegirmeni, which emerges as a narrative, is a constituent of an ongoing process rather than a given or invented product. Understanding and interpreting the culture as a narrative could open up alternative ways for an architectural and urban design that would resist the commodification of space. Keywords: Urban transformation; transdiscursive reading; relational experience; culture as a narrative; Yeldegirmeni. Bu makale, kuresellesme baglaminda kultur kavramini anlamak ve yorumlamak icin Istanbul, Yeldegirmeni'ndeki donusumu irdelemeyi amaclar. Toplu ulasim aglarina ve Kadikoy ilcesinin gelisen eglence ve gece hayatinin merkezine yakin olan Yeldegirmeni, Istanbul'un tarihi bir mahallesidir. Yerel yonetimce 2010 yilinda baslatilan, kultur ve sanat etkinlikleri uzerine temellenen kentsel yeniden canlandirma projesi, Yeldegirmeni'ni yerli ve yabanci kullanicilar icin cekici bir yer haline getirirken, sermayeyi cezbetmekte ve kentsel mekanin metalasma tehlikesini de icermektedir. Yine de Yeldegirmeni'ndeki donusum, kulturu bir soyleme indirgeyerek mekani metalastiran kentsel donusum projelerine bir alternatif sunar. Makalenin teorik cercevesi, Foucault'nun "soylemotesi muellif" kavraminin kentsel okuma kapsamina kulture ve mekana butunsel bir yaklasimla cevirisi uzerine kuruludur. Bedenoznenin kentsel mekandaki iliskisel deneyimine dayanan soylemotesi okuma, butunsel yaklasimin bir bileseni olarak teorik cerceveyi, yontemsel araclarla birlestirir. Sonuc olarak, Yeldegirmeni'de, teorik cerceve ile ic ice gecmis soylemotesi bir okuma yapilmis ve Yeldegirmeni'nin metalasma tehditlerinden muaf olmasa da varolan mahalle kulturu kullanicilarin cagdas ihtiyaclariyla harmanlanmaktadir. Bu dogrultuda, Yeldegirmeni'nde bir anlati olarak ortaya cikan kultur, verili ya da icat edilen bir urun degil, suregiden surecin bir bilesenidir. Kulturu bir anlati olarak anlamak ve yorumlamak, kentsel mekanin metalasmasina direnebilen mimari ve kentsel tasarim icin alternatif yollar acabilir. Anahtar Sozcukler: Kentsel donusum; soylemotesi okuma; iliskisel deneyim; anlati olarak kultur; Yeldegirmeni.
