Fäden und Fährten: Eine Religionsgeschichte Istanbuls anhand textiler Überlieferungen

8. Juni 2023 | Autorin: Esther Voswinckel Filiz

Wenn es um die Erforschung der Istanbuler Religionsgeschichte geht, liegt der Fokus meist auf schriftlichen Quellen. Textile Überlieferungen des Religiösen wie Stoffe und Kultgewänder spielen dabei hingegen eine untergeordnete Rolle. Doch gerade diese nicht-textuellen Überlieferungen sind es, die auch einen Einblick in zeitgenössische religiöse Praktiken eröffnen können.

The earthquake not only affected the physical structures and lives of the people in the area, but it also had a significant impact on the academic and professional communities located in the affected region. Our colleagues, students, and research facilities are all affected, disrupting our academic work and research activities.

Women Composers’ Creative Conditions Before and During the Turkish Republic

4 January 2023 | Author: Nejla Melike Atalay

My book focuses on three Istanbulite composers, Leyla [Saz] Hanımefendi (1850?-1936), Nazife Aral-Güran (1921-1993), and Yüksel Koptagel (b. 1931), who lived and produced in consecutive and overlapping periods, from the Tanzimat Era of the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic of the 1980s. It explores the composers’ productive and creative conditions through the socio-political environments of their times, their familial and educational backgrounds, and the social environments in which they lived and worked.

A series of photo exhibitions: village life in Eastern Anatolia (1957–1979)

12 September 2022 | Author: Martin Greve

Nobody looked at their photos for decades: Kurt and Ursula Reinhard (1914–1979; 1915–2006) and Dieter Christensen (1932–2017) were known as musicologists and dealt with the audible world. During numerous research trips, they traveled to villages in different regions of Eastern Anatolia and beyond: The Reinhards traveled, for example, to Kars, Antakya, Malatya, Sivas, Gaziantep and the Black Sea coast; Christensen to Siirt and Hakkari.
