The production of socio-economis and discourse space of the eastern black sea region in the context of re-scaling

Summary/Abstract: The fundamental aim of this study was to disclose and describe the practices and representation of the social space production in Eastern Black Sea Region through the Classical Ottoman Period to the present. In this context the discourse space of Eastern Black Sea Region constituting as part of hegemonic discourse which arose out of the mapping processes in the Congress of Geography conducted in 1941, was put into the center of attention. Considering this discourse space the fundamental question of this study was formulated as such: what sort of a continuity and change do the economic, administrative and social reasons that constituted this region as a unity reflect in the historical time-space framework? In this context, the background of this discourse space was constituted out of social space productions within certain borders that show a relative permanence through the Classical Ottoman Period to the Republican Regime. At the same time, this discourse space became a reference point for the rescaling attempts of the developmentalist and neo-liberal period of the Republican Regime. The theoretical framework of this study was formed through the concepts of social space production, re-scaling and discourse space which were developed within the literature of critical geography and critical space studies.
