Constructing Dance in the Republican Era
Arzu Öztürkmen will talk about different dance practices during the modernization process in Turkey, parallel to the Dansbana! Kalamış project. What is social dance? Taking this question as a starting point, she firstly deals with the subject of "Tarcan Zeybeği", imagined by Selim Sırrı Tarcan in the 1920s, and looks at the relationship between this ballroom dance and the growing folk dance movement in community centres. Finally, she touches upon the reinvention of Western dance practices in the urban scene in Turkey.
The New Civic Rituals Talks are supported by VitrA.

The Map of Empathic Society
Tereza Ruller, co-founder of The Rodina, will talk about The Map of Empathic Society, which invites viewers to step in and become part of it. The background and context of the installation will be explored through Ruller’s ideas on the term performative design, inspired by Johan Huizinga's writings about the homo ludens and Donna Haraway's theory of multispecies togetherness. The Rodina believes in the importance of caring and playing in order for an empathic society to develop. Tereza Ruller will then give insight into different imagined places on the map and present a video documentation of a performance by Ekin Tunceli and Pinar Akyuz.

The Human-Robot Distinction through 2030 and Beyond
Can Batukan and Başak Ozan Özparlak will give a speech titled The Human-Robot Distinction through 2030 and Beyond on March 6, in parallel with Empathy Talks. In this talk Can Batukan will delve into the human-robot distinction while expanding on the connection between the “soulfulness of the robot” and “soullessness of the human'' in the 21st century by focusing on dichotomies such as immortality and mortality, life and death, living and non-living, and soul and body.
By situating robots in a position that does more than granting them a legal personality or responsibility, and starting off from the question of “Should we defend the rights of robots as much as we defend the rights of trees, water or animals?”, Başak Ozan Özparlak will open into discussion a law system that prioritises humans in line with the dichotomy between living and non-living.
The talk will be held in Turkish.
