Efkan Oguz obtained his BA degree (Hons) in American Studies from Ege University and recently received his MA in Media and Visual Studies from Bilkent University. During his time at Ege University, he took an interest in new media studies in relation to socio-political settings. In addition to writing several art and literature related articles for magazines, giving conference presentations and partaking in projects/workshops on topics such as cultural heritage and transmedia, he co-translated the book titled Writing the History of “Ottoman Music” (2015), and translated Development in Urban Transportation and Cultural Heritage: A Look at Turkey by Corduas (2016). Blending different aspects of the works in which he was involved, his MA research focused on the discursive reconfiguration of spatiotemporality in museums by means of new media and conceptualization of this transmutation based on Foucauldian literary theories. His PhD research expands on the implementation of new media within the museal context and its socio-cultural connotations with a focus on Ottoman heritage and nationalism.
