The cyclical nature of the human experience has been widely discussed through the cynical mind-set of the postmodern era. Jeanette Winterson's 2007 novel, The Stone Gods, stands out as one of the texts that revolve around this pessimistic discussion concerning the cyclical and repetitive nature of the human condition and history. Besides the implication of this never-ending cycle of the human experience as part of the action of the narrative, the repeating appearance of the certain parts of an old book throughout the narrative also resonates the fact that history as a narrative keeps repeating itself. In this respect, the circular or rather spiral nature of historical progress is highlighted through a fictional intertextuality. Winterson's novel also epitomizes the Deleuzean control society and various forms of violence as the central concept around which the repeating pattern of human behaviour revolves. In this context, the article aims to discuss how control and violence as the central concepts of the novel are represented in a variety of ways, ranging from the anthropocentric violence that is directed towards nature, to systemic violence that the individuals are subjected to by institutional structures in the light of Nietzsche's argument on the immanent violence of human nature and his concepts of will to power and the overman, which is exceptionally represented as the artificial intelligence.

This descriptive study was conducted on totally 460 students from the departments of nutrition and dietetic (n=143) and nursing (n=317) of a health college located in Akşehir County of Konya City in the period of December 1st-31st, 2015. Within the scope of the study, age, gender, department and grade characteristics of students, their individual and family member's status in terms of consuming tobacco products, and their opinions regarding pictorial warnings to be printed on cigarettes packs, regulated by the European Union published on 17.12.2014.As a result of the study, it was determined that students' opinions regarding efficiency of written and pictorial warnings on cigarettes packs were differing with respect to students' gender and sigarettes usage status; and that illustrations on cigarettes packs were found more effective by female students and non-cigarettes user.Especially activities such as training programs, seminars/congress/conferences for male students and cigarettes users about tobacco products and their harms could contribute in raising awareness of university youth. Additionally, placing impressive or even scary images in larger sizes emphasizing serious health problems on cigarettespacks could be effective on significant decrease of usage of tobacco products. ÖzetKonya İli Akşehir İlçesinde yer alan bir sağlık yüksekokulunun beslenme diyetetik (n=143) ve hemşirelik bölümünden (n=317) toplam 460 öğrencinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilen tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma 1-31 Aralık 2015 tarihleri arasında uygulanmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında, öğrencilerin yaşı, cinsiyeti, bölümü, sınıfı, kendisinin ve aile bireylerinin tütün ürünlerini kullanma durumu gibi bazı özellikleri ile sigara paketleri üzerine basılmak üzere Avrupa Birliği tarafından 17.12.2014 tarihinde yayınlanan resimli uyarılar hakkındaki düşünceleri öğrenilmiştir.Yapılan çalışma sonucunda, sigara paketleri üzerindeki yazılı ve görsel uyarıları etkili bulma durumunun öğrencilerin cinsiyetine ve sigara kullanma durumuna göre değiştiği, kız öğrencilerin ve sigara kullanmayanların sigara paketleri üzerindeki ifadeleri daha etkili buldukları saptanmıştır.Özellikle erkek öğrencilere ve sigara kullananlara tütün ürünleri ve zararlarına yönelik düzenlenecek eğitim programları, seminer/kongre/konferans türü etkinlikler üniversite gençliğinin farkındalık düzeyinin arttırılmasına ve bilinçlendirilmelerine katkıda bulunacaktır. Ayrıca, sigara paketleri üzerine daha geniş alanı kapsayan, daha ciddi sağlık sorunlarına işaret eden çarpıcı hatta ürkütücü resimlerin basılması tütün ürünlerinin kullanılmasının önemli ölçüde azaltılmasında etkili olabilir.
