Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi Akademisyenlerinde Bilimsel Yetersizlik ve “Sanat Güneşi” Algısının Psikolojik Temelleri

Öz

Bu makale, Güzel Sanatlar fakültelerinde görev yapan bazı akademisyenlerin bilimsel yöntemlerden uzak olmalarına rağmen kendilerini “sanat güneşi” olarak görmelerinin psikolojik temellerini ele almaktadır. Freud’un narsisizm kuramı, Adler’in telafi mekanizmaları, Dunning-Kruger etkisi, Weber’in otorite tipolojisi ve Bourdieu’nün alan kuramı temel teorik çerçeveyi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada, bu kavramlar Türkiye’deki sanat fakültelerinden somut örneklerle tartışılmakta; sonuçta, sanat eğitiminin bilimsel yöntemlerle desteklenmesinin gerekliliği vurgulanmaktadır.

Scientific Inadequacy Among Fine Arts Faculty Academicians and the Psychological Basis of the Perception of the "Sun of Art"

Öz

This article examines the psychological and sociological foundations of the phenomenon observed in fine arts faculties, where some academics, despite lacking scientific productivity, tend to see themselves as the ultimate authorities or “suns of art.” Drawing on Freud’s theory of narcissism, Adler’s concept of compensation, the Dunning-Kruger effect, Weber’s typology of authority, and Bourdieu’s field theory, the study analyzes this issue through both theoretical perspectives and practical cases from Turkish art faculties. The findings reveal that these attitudes arise from a combination of individual psychological mechanisms and institutional cultural dynamics. The article concludes that art education must be supported not only by creativity and intuition but also by scientific methodology and critical inquiry.
