Public Lecture by Meltem Ö. Gürel, Scholar of Architecture from Turkey / 土耳其建築設計學者Meltem Ö. Gürel 來港演講

（中文版在英文版之後）

Meltem Ö. Gürel, Assistant Professor at the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design at Bilkent University, Turkey, will visit Hong Kong in April to give a public lecture titled “Women and the Modern Domicile in Turkey in the Mid-20^th Century” for the Public Lecture Series on Gender Studies 2011, organized by the Gender Studies Programme of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and sponsored by the Lee Hysan Foundation.

Dr. Gürel is currently Head of the Department. She taught as an adjunct professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she received her Ph.D. in Architecture. She has published in Journal of Architectural Education, The Journal of Architecture, Gender, Place and Culture, Journal of Design History, The International Journal of Art & Design Education and elsewhere. Her research interests include cross-cultural histories of modernism with an emphasis on society, gender and culture as they have influenced the built environment, as well as the domestic domain, interior space and interior design/architecture education.

In the lecture, Dr. Gürel will show how women were national assets representing the country and playing a critical role in spreading and normalizing modernization and Westernization. Conceptualizing domestic space as a domain where gender roles are formed and performed, she will argue that while mediating powerful discourses on the structures of patriarchy, the construction of women’s identity empowered them as significant actors in shaping the modern domicile.

土耳其Bilkent大學室內建築及環境設計學系的助理教授Meltem Ö. Gürel，將於四月份應邀來港演講。該講座為「性別研究公開講座系列2011」的活動之一，由香港中文大學性別研究學系主辦，利希慎基金贊助。

Gürel博士於伊利諾大學厄巴納－香檳分校 (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) 獲得博士學位並曾留校任教。1994年起，她於Bilkent大學室內建築及環境設計學系任教，現時為該系的系主任。她的研究興趣包括室內空間、室內設計教育及現代主義的跨文化歷史，並專注研究社會、性別和文化怎樣影響居住環境。其著作多見於論文期刊，包括《Journal of Architectural Education》、《The Journal of Architecture》、《Gender, Place and Culture》、《Journal of Design History》、《The International Journal of Art & Design Education》等。

是次講座題為「二十世紀中期土耳其女性與現代家居」。Gürel博士將會展示在土耳其西化和現代化的過程中，女性如何成為代表國家的重要資產，及她們扮演著的重要角色。 Gürel博士提出家居空間作爲性別角色操演的場域，女性在其中的身份建構固然體現有關父權結構的論述，但亦同時造就了女性作爲建設現代家居的關鍵人物。
