Orient-Institut Istanbul
Tımar-holding Cavalry vs. the Janissaries: The Evolution of Ottoman Military Recruitment Practices (14th-16th Century)
Gülay Yılmaz, Akdeniz University
Scholarship on Ottoman military history has traditionally focused on individual campaigns, warfare technology, and military tactics, particularly emphasizing the major transformation of the Ottoman army during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. It is important to recognize that; however, the Ottoman army was a dynamic institution that underwent significant changes throughout the sixteenth century, which needs closer analysis. The objective of this presentation is to analyze the recruitment methods employed by the early janissary army, situating them within the broader context of the Ottoman military landscape spanning the fourteenth to the end of the sixteenth century. Special attention will be given to how recruitment into tımar-holding cavalry and the janissary army evolved over time in relation to changes occurred in other forces, including raiders (akıncıs), peasant militia forces (yayas and müsellems), ‘azebs, martoloses, and voynuks.
Gülay Yılmaz is an Associate Professor at the Department of History, Akdeniz University. She completed her undergraduate and master’s degrees at Boğaziçi University, and PhD at McGill University. During the 2018-19 academic year, she was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Researcher at Harvard University Centre for Middle Eastern Studies, where she began working on her book focuses on the devşirme system and is still a work in progress. This year she is a visiting scholar at Orient-Institute Istanbul. She published widely on the recruitment process of devşirmes, janissaries, and seventeenth-century Istanbul.

Invitation to a Round Table
Wednesday, April 17th 2024,
19:00 (Turkish time; GMT +3)
Venue: Orient-Institut Istanbul (Galip Dede Cad. No 65, Beyoğlu-Istanbul)
Round Table: Owners and Inheritors: Identity, Nationalism, Heritage and Preservation in and outside Turkey
SPEAKERS
Dr. Mirjam Brusius (GHI London)
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayşe Hazar Köksal (Öyzeğin University)
Prof. Dr. Zeynep Kuban (Istanbul Technical University)
MODERATION
Prof. Dr. Christoph K. Neumann (OII)
The panel discusses contemporary ways of dealing (or refusing to deal) with cultural heritage and/or the question who may claim to be legitimate owner of it. In Germany and Great Britain, such discussions often turn around questions of restitution of artefacts that have been acquired in contexts (colonial, national-socialist, smuggling etc.) not or no longer regarded legitimate. The position of the Ottoman Empire in front of imperialist archaeologists is only rarely taken into consideration in this debate.
In Turkey such debates are much less important and, if they take place, Turkey is taken as in a post-colonial situation (e.g. while the Pergamon altar may be claimed as object of restitution, the sarcophagi from Sidon at the Istanbul Archaeological Museums are not offered to the Lebanese government). On the other hand, what is regarded as cultural heritage is quite frequently an issue heatedly debated while in other cases, objects or sites are more or less silently disregarded as heritage, especially if they have a background in Christian and other minoritarian populations. While different forms of identity construction and of nationalism are clearly decisive, tourism and neoliberal populism contribute to a volatile debate.
The speakers:
Dr. Mirjam Brusius holds an MA from the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and a PhD in the History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Cambridge. Currently she is a research fellow at the German Historical Institute London in the field of colonial and global history. She works on the movement of visual and material culture between Europe, Asia, and Africa: from ancient artefacts entering Western museums, to photography moving into the Islamicate world. She is also active as a public historian, curator, and heritage consultant.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayşe Hazar Köksal obtained her BA degree from Bosphorus University, Department of History, her MA from Istanbul Technical University and Maastricht University (Netherlands) in European Studies of Society, Science and Technology, and her PhD from Istanbul Technical University, Art History Department. Currently she teaches art history at Özyeğin University. Her research interests include art and museums, organizations of the art world, museum and architecture, city imaginary, cultural policies, industry of culture and creative industries.
Prof. Dr. Zeynep Kuban is working and teaching at ITU Faculty of Architecture since 1987. She obtained her BA degree from Istanbul University in Archaeology and History of Art and her MA and PhD degrees from ITU-History of Architecture program. She is working and researching on topics of ancient architecture, history of Istanbul, artists and architects in the early 20th century and she is active in finding different forms to mediate history of architecture and archaeology, and cultural heritage in general to non-professional audiences.
Prof. Dr. Christoph K. Neumann acquired his academic degrees from LMU Munich. Currently he is on leave from the same university and director of the Orient-Institut Istanbul.

Beş Alman Araştırmacının Doğu’da Derlediği Sesler ve Görüntüler (1955-1979)
Küratörler: Martin GREVE & Nihan TAHTAİŞLEYEN
Sergi Tasarımcı: Perihan Usta
Sergi,1950’lerden 1970’lere kadar Doğu Anadolu’nun çeşitli bölgelerinde araştırmalar yapan beş Alman etnomüzikolog / etnoloğun fotoğraf, kayıt ve başkaca arşiv malzemelerinden bir seçki sunuyor:
– Kurt Reinhard (1914-1979) ve Ursula Reinhard (1915-2006)
– Dieter Christensen (1932-2017) ve Nerthus Christensen (1932-2003)
– Peter Bumke (d. 1951)
Reinhardlar onlarca yıl boyunca Türk müziği üzerine uluslararası araştırmalara öncülük ederken, Christensen Kürt müziği üzerine çalışan ilk uluslararası araştırmacı olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bumke, Kürt topluluklarının yaşamlarına odaklandığı uzun yıllar süren çalışmalarının ardından akademik kariyerini bırakarak uluslararası kültürel arabuluculuğa yöneldi.
Beşi de Doğu’nun farklı bölgelerine kapsamlı araştırma gezileri düzenleyerek fotoğraflar çekti ve müzik kayıtları yaptı. Reinhardlar Adana, Gaziantep, Hatay (Antakya), Malatya, Sivas ve Ursula Reinhard özelinde Kars’a; Christensenler ise Siirt ve Hakkâri’ye gittiler. Peter Bumke 1970’lerde, o zamanlar Avrupa’da pek tanınmayan Dersim/Tunceli’de çalıştı. Araştırmacıların çalışmalarını saha araştırması bulguları üzerine yaptıkları kapsamlı yayınlar ve etnografik müzik albümleri aracılığıyla izlemek mümkün. Ancak bu çalışmalara dair fotoğraflar unutulmuştu ve bu sergide ilk kez gösteriliyor. Reinhard ve Christensen’e ait fotoğraf, müzik kaydı ve diğer belgeler şu anda Berlin Etnoloji Müzesi’nde (Berlin Devlet Müzelerinden biri) ve Peter Bumke’ninkiler onun şahsi arşivinde muhafaza edilmektedir. Fotoğraflar, Kürt ve Türk köylerinin bugün kaybolmuş dünyasını sunarken, orijinal müzik kayıtları da zamanı yeniden duyulabilir kılıyor. Fotoğraflara eşlik eden diğer arşiv belgeleri, araştırmacıların çalışma yöntemleri hakkında fikir veriyor ve izleyiciye bir tür arşiv araştırmacısı deneyimi yaşatıyor. Sergide Peter Bumke’nin kırk yıl sonra araştırma yaptığı kişilerle temasa geçerek onların hayatları üzerine yaptığı röportajlar da sunuluyor.

Camera Anatolıca
Five German Scholars in Search of Sounds and Images in Eastern Anatolia (1955-1979)
Curators: Martin GREVE & Nihan TAHTAİŞLEYEN
Exhibition Designer: Perihan Usta
The exhibition shows a selection of photos, recordings, and additional archival materials from five German ethnomusicologists/ethnologists who conducted research in various regions of Eastern Anatolia from the 1950s to the 1970s:
– Kurt Reinhard (1914-1979) and Ursula Reinhard (1915-2006)
– Dieter Christensen (1932-2017) and Nerthus Christensen (1932-2003)
– Peter Bumke (b. 1951)
While the Reinhards pioneered international research on Turkish music for decades, Christensen is considered the first international researcher to study Kurdish music. After years of fieldwork focusing on the lives of Kurdish communities, Bumke left his academic career and turned to international cultural mediation.
All five researchers organized extensive research trips to different parts of the East, taking photographs and recording music. The Reinhards traveled to Adana, Gaziantep, Hatay (Antakya), Malatya, Sivas, and, in the case of Ursula Reinhard, to Kars; the Christensens visited Siirt and Hakkâri. In the 1970s, Peter Bumke worked in Dersim/Tunceli, which, at that time, was hardly known in Europe. Their work can be traced through extensive publications on field research findings and ethnographic music albums. The photos, however, were forgotten and are shown here for the first time. The photos and music recordings are currently stored in the Ethnological Museum of Berlin (one of the Berlin State Museums: Reinhard, Christensen) and the private archive of Peter Bumke. They present the world of Kurdish and Turkish villages that have disappeared today, the original music recordings make the time audible again. Other archival documents accompany the photographs, providing insight into the working methods of the researchers and giving the viewer a kind of archival researcher experience. Peter Bumke even contacted the people of his research forty years later and conducted interviews on their lives.

Invitation to an Online Lecture
Wednesday, 27th March 2024, 19:00 (Turkish time; GMT +3)
Prof. Dr. Jannis Niehoff-Panagiotidis
Institute for Byzantine Studies, Freie Universität Berlin
Monks and Sultans: the Orthodox Church in the Ottoman Empire
In his presentation, Prof. Dr. Niehoff-Panagiotidis sheds light on the defining elements of “The Orthodox Church”, a term often used on the basis of misconceptions.
Taking the ecclesiastical pattern among the Eastern Oriental Churches as a starting point, his talk will explore why Greek has been, and continues to be, in use as a liturgical Language over a wide geographic area that has not a Greek realm in a national sense. A basic notion of what is “Pentarchia” is also given, as it is key for understanding the relation between the sees in Jerusalem, Damascus, Alexandria and Istanbul.
The prominent role of monks within the Orthodox Church shall be illustrated by drawing on three examples:
– the Church of Antioch and her use of Arabic, as for the Church in the Near East the Patriarchate of Antioch/Damascus is historically the most important one;
– the implemention of Mount Athos/Aynoroz as the Centre of Orthodoxy in Early Ottoman times during the reigns of Sultans Murad I until Murad II. By this token, an overview of the special archival situation will be given;
– the modern-day situation in the national states of Greece and Turkey.
Jannis Niehoff-Panagiotidis is deparment chair for Byzantine Studies at Freie Universität Berlin. Of particular interest in his work are the relations between the Greek and the Muslim realm in the Eastern Mediterranean. He is currently a visiting professor at the Orient-Institut Istanbul where he works on a project for the catalogisation of Ottoman manuscripts, Greek-Arabic Alchemy, Christian-Muslim relations, and Ibn Bibi and the Christians.

Türkiye Tarihinde Dindarlığı Yeniden Düşünmek: Mevlid ve Kitapları (1923-1970)
Süleyman Çelebi’nin (ö. 1422) Hz. Muhammed’i övmek için yazdığı “Vesîletü’n-necât” adlı şiirinin makamla okunduğu Mevlid törenleri, Türkiye’de ve komşu ülkelerde yaygın bir pratiktir. Mevlid kandilinde, doğum, düğün, ölüm gibi özel günlerde ve adak veya şifa vermek gibi amaçlarla okunan Mevlid Türkiye tarihinde de mühim bir role sahiptir. Bu konuşmanın ilk bölümünde Mevlid’in “yaşanan din” olarak farklı cinsiyet, etnik, dini kimliklere sahip birey ve kurumlar tarafından nasıl deneyimlendiğine odaklanacağım. İkinci bölümde 1970’lere kadar farklı baskıları yapılan, “Alevi” şairlerin şiirlerini de içeren Mevlid kitaplarını, “dinin maddi tezahürleri” (material religion) olarak inceleyeceğim. Son bölümde “İstanbul Mevlidi”ni, camilerde “a capella” müzik olarak ele alacağım ve ses kayıtlarını da kullanarak değişimini göstereceğim. Sunumda esas amacım, Mevlid’i “yaşanan din”, “dinin maddi tezahürleri”, ve “a capella music” olarak tarihselleştirmenin, Türkiye’de dindarlık mevhumunu yeniden ele almayı mümkün kıldığını göstermektir.
Gökçen Beyinli
Gökçen Beyinli modernleşme sürecinde değersizleştirilen, küçümsenen, ayrımcılığa uğrayan insanların, mesleklerin, mekanların ve inançların hikayelerini merak eden ve küresel bir bakış açısıyla araştıran bir tarihçidir. İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi’nde tarih yüksek lisansının ardından tarih doktorasını Berlin Humboldt Üniversitesi’nde 2017’de tamamladı. İstanbul ve modern Türkiye’nin toplumsal cinsiyet ve din tarihi üzerine iki kitabı ve çok sayıda makalesi bulunmaktadır. Halen Hamburg Üniversitesi’nde ders vermektedir. Bu konuşması, Mart 2022-Şubat 2024 arasında TÜBİTAK desteğiyle Hamburg Üniversitesi Asya-Afrika-Enstitüsü, Türkoloji bölümünde yürüttüğü “Cumhuriyet tarihinde ‘yaşanan din’ olarak Mevlid” projesinin özetidir.

Russia’s Shadow? Dancing Ballet in Turkey and Iran During the 20th Century
The Russian Revolution of 1917 had an enormous impact on the Ottoman Empire and Persia. The two “White Russian” emigrants Lidija Vassiljeva Krassa-Arzumanova, later Leyla Arzuman (1897-1988) and Madame Cornelli founded the first ballet studios in Istanbul (1931) and Tehran (1928) after they were forced to leave Russia in the wake of the Russian Revolution. Both came from the Caucasus, were trained in St. Petersburg and became pioneers of Turkish and Iranian ballet. In the 1930s, Sarkiz Džambazian and Elene Avedisyan founded further ballet schools in Iran: They had a decisive influence on the development of Iranian ballet in Tabriz (1933) and Qazvin (1938), while the couple trained by Madame Cornelli, Aida and Nejad Ahmadzade, became leading ballet dancers in Tehran and had a decisive influence on the further development of Iranian ballet until the Islamic Revolution. Aida (née Akhundzade) Ahmadzade came from a family of Tatar and Azerbaijani emigrants from Baku, while Nejad Ahmadzade had immigrated to Iran from Trabzon. After the Second World War, Turkey and Iran, both victims of Soviet imperialism, became pro-Western in terms of foreign policy: The choreographer Ninette de Valois, who had arrived from Great Britain, established the national ballet in both Ankara and Tehran by outsourcing the schools of Arzuman and Cornelli. It was only in the 1960s and even more intensively in the 1970s that Moscow succeeded in organizing a regular exchange in the field of ballet with Turkey and Iran.

Dr. Öğr. Üyesi Harun KORKMAZ

Klasik Türk Musikisinde Temel İcra Biçimi Olarak “Fasıl” Ve Tarihsel Arka Planı
Osmanlılar, musiki eserlerinin icrasını, mirasçısı oldukları seçkin şark kültürlerinin pek çoğunda olduğu gibi fasıl düzeni içerisinde gerçekleştirirlerdi. Batı müzik dünyasındaki “süit”lere benzetilebilecek olan bu düzende, faslın unsurları olan saz eserleri ile sözlü eserler belli bir sıralama ile art arda icra edilirdi. Bu sıralama tarih boyunca sürekli değişmiş, XX. yüzyılda son şeklini alan popüler şarkı fasıllarına kadar bu gelenekten pek çok varyasyon türemiştir. “Fasıl” kelimesinin bir müzik tabiri olarak sınırları Evliya Çelebi’de dahi muğlâktır. Yarım asır kadar sonra pekçok saz eserinin notasını da kayda geçiren Kantemiroğlu’nun edvarında ise bu sınırlar artık çok belirgindir. Kantemir, makamları, usûlleri, beste türlerini anlattığı gibi, faslın detaylarını da yazdı. XVII. yüzyılın ortalarında Evliya Çelebi’nin Seyahatnamesi ve Ali Ufkî’nin çeşitli eserlerinde ve mecmualarında yer yer izlerini görebildiğimiz “fasl”ın sıralamasını onlardan yaklaşık yarım asır sonra ilk defa anlatan kişi Kantemir olmuştur. Gerçi fasıl her dönemde değişmiştir. Hele XVII. yüzyılda musikideki en büyük değişimler yaşandığı gibi fasılda da köklü değişimler olmuştur. Aynı dönemde pekçok fasıl düzeni bulunuyor olma ihtimali de yabana atılamaz. Ancak Kantemiroğlu iyi bir gözlemcidir, anlattıkları diğer kaynaklarla karşılaştırılınca ne kadar güvenilir olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Bahsettiği fasıl düzeni zaten müzikal olarak da ideal ve iyi kurgulanmış bir yapıya sahiptir. Bu düzende Osmanlı musikisinin olmazsa olmazı olan irticâlî/emprovize yapıların ne kadar önemli bir yer tuttuğu hemen göze çarpmaktadır. Besteli eserlerin dizilişi ise eski eserlerin icrasında önemli bir problem olan sıralama sorununa ışık tutmaktadır. Bu sunumda, Klasik Türk Musikisi geleneğinde faslın XVII. yüzyıldan beri nasıl dönüştüğü ve hangi merhalelerden geçerek modern döneme ulaştığı adım adım izlenecektir.

The Linguistic Landscape: What We Can Learn from It

In the course of the last two decades, the linguistic landscape, that is, the display of written language in public places, has become an object of investigation which is now recognised as a branch of Sociolinguistics. This is remarkable because since its inception, Sociolinguistics, much like theoretical linguistics, has always had an oral bias and paid relatively little attention to writing, which was often seen as a mere representation of speech. In fact, written language is a branch of human communication with great social significance. In this lecture, I will show that linguistic landscaping is a political issue with many economic and cultural aspects which upon inspection reveal much about how a society is constituted. At the same time, the linguistic landscape is a repository of history which is often contested. Using examples from various contexts in Asia and Europe, I will show how and why language displayed in public texts may become and often is subject to legal restrictions designed to proscribe or, in the contrary, promote the visibility of languages in the public domain. Language, in writing as well as in speech, is always embedded in social practice. This is only pointing out the obvious. However, I will try to show that the linguistic landscape also makes for a good starting point with regard to foreign language education.
Professor Florian Coulmas holds a position as Senior Professor of Japanese Society and Sociolinguistics at the IN-EAST Institute of East Asian Studies at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany.

Derin insani ve maddi kayıplara yol açan Şubat 2023 depremleri bir yandan da Türkiye siyasi tarihinin en önemli seçimlerinden biriyle aynı döneme denk geldi. Bu ise yaşanan afetin seçim sonuçlarını etkileyecek düzeyde bir siyasi sonucu olup olmayacağı tartışmasını beraberinde getirdi. Bu sunuşta öncelikle, 2023 seçim sonuçlarının 1999 Marmara depremi sonrasındaki siyasi süreçle karşılaştırması aracılığıyla bu türden doğal afetlerin siyasal değişim yaratma potansiyelinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanıyor. Sonrasında ise karşılaştırmalı siyaset çalışmalarının ışığında, afetler ve siyaset ilişkisi demokrasi ve yönetişim kavramları çerçevesinde tartışılacak; böylece toplumların afetlerden korunma çabalarında karşılaştırmalı siyaset çalışmalarının sunabileceği katkıya dair bir çerçeve çizilecektir.
Dr. Yetkin Başkavak, Lisans derecesini Marmara Üniversitesi’nde, Yüksek Lisans ve Doktora derecelerini ise İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi’nde Siyaset Bilimi alanında aldı. Doktora tezinde demokrasi kavramına yönelik ölçme ve değerlendirme metodolojilerinin eleştirel değerlendirmesini yapan Dr. Başkavak, doktora sürecinde Berlin’deki Humboldt Üniversitesi’nde konuk araştırmacı olarak bulundu. Halen Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümünde çalışmakta, Karşılaştırmalı Siyaset, Siyasi Rejim Dönüşümleri, Demokrasi ve Kent ile Kalkınma alanlarında dersler vermektedir. Ayrıca sosyal bilimler alanında çeviriler yapan Dr. Başkavak’ın yayınlanmış kitap çevirileri vardır.

Bina güvenliği, ve onların üzerinde yükseldiği, imara açılan zeminler ile ilgili bilimsel etütlere uygun yer seçimi güvenliği olmayan mahallerde yaşayan kent sakinleri, bunu ya kendi ya sevdiklerinin canları bedeli ile ödediler. Son derece hukuksallaştırılmış ve teknikleştirilmiş bir alan olan konut / bina üretim alanı, kamu ve özel sektör aktörlerinin ölümcül bir sorumluluk zinciri sonucunda iki yüz bine yakın binayı enkaz veya yıkılması gereken hasarlı yapıya dönüştürdü. Depremin daha enkazın altında kalanları olduğu ilk haftadan itibaren, benzer bir sorumluluk zinciri ve mekanizmalarla afetin zamana ve coğrafyaya yayılmasının şartları oluştu. Deprem bölgesindeki enkaz, hızla moloza dönüştürülmeye ve ihaleleri alan yıkım müteahhitleri tarafından dere yatağı, sulak alanlar, yerleşim alanları yakınları, tarım alanları, meralar, ormanlar, zeytinlikler ve korum altındaki doğal alanlara dökülmeye başladı. Bu sunumda literatürde afet atığı tabir edilen, 200 milyon ton olduğu hesaplanan molozlaştırılmış enkazın her anlamda ‘muhtevası’ üzerinden doğal afetlerin toplumsal alana yayılmasının şekil, neden ve sonuçlarından bahsedeceğiz. Çoğu zaman da bu sunuma sığanları, deprem öncesi uzun vadeye yayılmış felaketler olarak geniş bir coğrafyada yaşıyor olduğumuzu farkediyor olacağız. Kentsel dönüşümle tüm sokaklara yayılan kanserojen asbest lifleri, ürkütücü bir orana ulaşmış olan çocukların kurşun zehirlenmesi, ‘olağan’ endüstriyel atık, emisyon ve tarım kimyasallarından dolayı toksiklere bulanan besin zinciri, işçi-halk-çevre sağlığı zincirinde müdahil bilgi üreten bir avuç araştırmacı, doğallaştırılmış bir ölümcül sorumluluk zinciri

Deprem, sel, çığ gibi doğal afetlerde ve savaş, terör, istismar vb. olaylarla ilgili kitlesel travmalarda bedensel olarak yaralanmalar ile birlikte ruhsal olarak yaralanmalarda mevcuttur ve göz ardı edilmemelidir. Travmatik olaylar sonrasında bireyler oluşan bedensel ve ruhsal hastalıklar nedeniyle rutinlerine, günlük yaşamlarına uzun süre dönemeyebilirler. Bireyler afetler sonrası psikolojik travmaya ek olarak pek çok ekonomik, sosyal ve yasal sorunla da karşılaşabilirler. Bu sorunlar ruhsal yaralanmaları derinleştirebilir. Afetler sonrası ortaya çıkan koordinasyonsuzluğun ancak farklı disiplinlerin, farklı meslek gruplarının ve STK’ların insani değerleri esas alarak bir araya gelmesi, dayanışma içeresinde hareket etmesi ile iyileşebileceği ve afet öncesi önleyici çalışmaların önemi gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca disiplinler arası dayanışmaya sadece afetler ve travmatik olaylar sırasında değil her zaman ihtiyaç duyulduğu gerçeği ile bundan sonra ele alınacak çalışmalar farklı meslek gruplarının dayanışma kapsamında afet öncesi, afet sırasında ve afet sonrası dönemde birlikte hareket etmesi kitlesel travmalar için önleyici çalışma olarak vurgulanabilir.

Afetlerde devlet ve sivil toplum kuruluşları başta arama-kurtarma, acil yardım, beslenme, barınma ve sağlık gibi temel yardımları sağlayarak çok sayıda insanı hayatta tutmayı amaçlar. Bir sonraki aşamada, afetin yol açtığı fiziki hasar tespit edilip onarılmaya çalışılırken, toplum yaşadığı kayıplar ve yıkımla sağlıklı bir şekilde baş etmeye çabalar. 6 ve 20 Şubat 2023 depremlerinde, Türkiye ve Suriye çok büyük kayıp ve yıkım yaşadı. Bu depremler, Türkiye’nin 11 ilinde 13,5 milyon nüfusu doğrudan etkilerken, binlerce insanın yaşamını kaybetmesine neden olmuştur. Ayrıca bölgede yarattığı hasar ekonomi, ekoloji ve sağlık üzerinde büyük zarara neden olmuş ve sosyal, kültürel ve psikolojik olarak tüm toplumu olumsuz etkilemektedir.
Antakya (Antioch), Türkiye’nin etnik ve dini çeşitliliği, çok katmanlı kültürel dokusuyla kendine has bir kent olarak depremden ağır darbe aldı ve tüm tarihi, sosyal ve kültürel dokusunu kaybetti. Bu konuşmada, Dr. Zerrin Arslan Antakya’da yaşayan bir sosyal bilimci ve akademisyen olarak, yaşadığı depremin toplum ve insan sağlığı üzerine etkilerini oto-etnografik gözlemler aracılığıyla sosyolojik bir perspektiften değerlendirecektir. Bu değerlendirmenin odağını, Antakya ve çevresindeki enkazlar arasındaki yerleşim alanlarında ev, çadır ve konteynerlerde başlayan yeni gündelik yaşam pratikleri ve alışkanlıklar ile kültürel/etnik karşılaşmalar ve ayrışmalar oluşturmaktadır.
Zerrin Arslan, Hatay Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi Sosyoloji bölümünde öğretim üyesidir. 12 yıl ebelik ve onkoloji hemşireliği yaptıktan sonra lisans ve yüksek lisansını Ankara Üniversitesi Siyasal Bilgiler Fakültesi’nde, doktorasını ODTÜ Sosyoloji bölümünde tamamlayan Dr. Arslan’ın orta sınıf, tüketim, sınır ve göç, sosyal ve kültürel değişim, gündelik yaşam, etnik ilişkiler ve afetlerde iskân üzerine yayınları ve araştırmaları bulunmaktadır. 6 Şubat depremini Antakya’daki evinde yaşamıştır.

Deprem haberciliği, halkın deprem tehlikesi konusunda eğitilmesinde, kurtarma çalışmalarının teşvik edilmesinde ve kamuoyu algısının etkilenmesinde çok önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Medya önemli bilgi kanalları olarak hizmet vermekte ve karmaşık bilimsel bilgileri anlaşılabilir bir şekilde aktarma kapasitesine sahiptir. Ayrıca, görüntülerin ve görsel sunumların yıkımın ve insanların çektiği sıkıntıların boyutunu vurgulamadaki rolü de tartışılacaktır. Konuşmada ayrıca sosyal medya platformlarının eş zamanlı iletişim için kullanım olanakları da vurgulanmaktadır. Sonuç olarak konuşma, deprem haberciliğinin zorlukları ve fırsatları ile bu doğal afetlere yönelik kamuoyu tepkisini nasıl etkileyebileceğine dair bir bakış açısı sunuyor.

Self-narratives between Empire and Nation-state: Three Lives in Transition
Monday, 22 May 2023, 17:30 (Turkish time; GMT +3)
This talk draws on the lives of three disparate individuals who were caught up in the process by which the Ottoman Empire gave way to the era of nation states: Pervin Sencer, Hussein Fakhri al-Khalidi and Henry Dobbs. These three figures differed in many respects, not least gender, ethnicity, indigeneity, as well as the nature of the sources they left behind. Nevertheless, some common attributes are clear. First, each author introduces a remarkable collection of historical personalities, giving us glimpses (and sometimes much more) of these figures we might not otherwise encounter. Secondly, each autobiographer engages in what we might call “setting the record straight.” A common, contrarian attitude infuses these writings, animating their historical perspectives and/or grievances while also setting themselves squarely in the narrative frame. Thirdly, each set of writings serves up the kind of historical detail and anecdote that brings those respective narratives to life. Whether it’s a description of Pervin’s daily tribulations, Hussein Fakhri’s forensically specific memories, or Dobbs’ eye for the telling anecdotal snippet, this level of specificity contrasts vividly with the broader historical sweep of these lives of transition, adding a human perspective to the otherwise often overwhelmingly broad scope of this period of rapid change.

The Day the Great War ended: 24 July 1923
Prof. Dr. Jay Winter
Yale University
Charles J. Stille Professor of History emeritus
Historians have now agreed that 11 November 1918 was not the end of the Great War. War continued to rage for four more years throughout Eastern Europe and Asia Minor. The day the Great War finally came to an end was 24 July 1923. On the shores of Lake Geneva, Turkey and her former enemies signed the Treaty of Lausanne, ending the state of hostilities that had continued since 1914.
This lecture frames that story in terms of a new and disturbing phenomenon – the civilianization of war. During the Great War and in its aftermath, war mutated. The distinction between military and civilian targets was erased progressively, and non-combatants became the chief victims of war. Until then, wars ended with an exchange of prisoners of war. Lausanne was the first peace treaty which required a compulsory exchange of civilian populations. Over one million Greek-Orthodox men and women lost their right to live in Turkey, and half that number of Muslims were deported forcibly from Greece. In the Treaty of Lausanne, the right to citizenship was defined by religion, and religion alone. There, on the shores of Lake Geneva, ethnic cleansing entered into international law.

Bir Armonik Sistem İcadı: Mektupları Işığında Kemal İlerici ve Dörtlü Armoni
26 Nisan 2023 19:00 (Türkiye saati; + 3 GMT)
Türk müzik modernleşmesi sürecinin en önemli meselelerinden birini çok seslilik konusu oluşturmuştur. Özellikle 20. yüzyılın ilk yarısında, Türk müziğine armoni tatbiki hususundaki olası yöntemler, müzik çevrelerinin gündemini epeyce meşgul etmiş görünmektedir. Ortaya atılan yöntem önerilerinden biri olarak, Türk müziğinin kendi yapısından türetilmiş bir çok seslilik ise ilk kez Kemal İlerici (1910-1986) tarafından bir armonik sistem olarak somutlaştırılabilmiştir. Bu konuşma, İlerici’nin dönemin çeşitli figürleriyle yazışmaları üzerinden böyle bir armonik sistemin icadını hazırlayan koşulları tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır. Arşivlerde bulunan mevcut materyaller ayrıca, İlerici’nin kişiliği hakkında bilinmeyenleri ortaya çıkararak bir portresinin çizilmesine de yardımcı olmaktadır.
Semih Pelen, kariyerine 2013 yılında Hacettepe Üniversitesi Ankara Devlet Konservatuvarı Müzikoloji Bölümü’nde yüksek lisans öğrencisi ve araştırma görevlisi olarak başladı. Yüksek lisans derecesini 2016 yılında aldıktan sonra İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi Müzikoloji ve Müzik Teorisi bölümünde doktora çalışmalarına başladı. Burada Türk müziği tarihi, teorisi, müzik sosyolojisi ve palegrafyası derslerine katıldı ve bir süre araştırma görevlisi olarak çalıştı. 2015-2017 yılları arasında Türkiye’nin önde gelen besteci ve müzikologlarının üye olduğu BESOM adlı derneğin yönetim kurulunda aktif olarak görev aldı. 2018-2020 yılları arasında Atatürk Üniversitesi Müzikoloji Bölümü’nde araştırma görevlisi olarak piyano öğreticiliği yaptı. Doktora tez çalışmasında, besteci ve teoriyen Kemal İlerici’nin (1910-1986) mektuplarından yola çıkarak Türk Müzik modernleşmesi konusuna odaklanmaktadır.

“Turkish and Greek Folk Songs of the Late Ottoman Era: Popular Culture and Intercommunal Relations Through Musical Collections”
April 12, 2023 19:00 Istanbul + 3 GMT
As it is widely known, various musical genres immerged during the whole timespan of the Ottoman Empire, around the city centers and at the countryside areas. These genres were connected to the several ethno-religious groups of the Ottoman Empire’s population, as well as to the different aspects of their living, like daily life, religion, etc. This lecture will focus on the folk music of the Turkish-speaking and Greek-speaking population of the Empire. The data for this research, which is part of the speaker’s doctoral dissertation, were drawn from the respective musical collections that were created at the late Ottoman era (mid 19th to early 20th century). Interestingly enough, late Ottoman era was a time period when folk culture gained a lot of interest. After all, this was when the Ottoman Empire’s various ethnoreligious communities started forming national states, like Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Serbia. At the same time the Ottoman state turned its interest to the Turkish folk and started shaping the Turkish national identity, by reason of establishing the sense of unity between the Turkish-speaking Muslim community. So, in pursuance of cultivating the people’s national identity, religion and folk culture were fully exploited in every case. Having all that in mind, this lecture will showcase the folk songs that were transcribed in the Turkish and Greek musical collections of the late Ottoman era. The presentation will demonstrate the musical collections studied and the folk songs that were detected in them, along with some issues that emerged around these data. Also, the lecture will present the conclusions that were drawn through this study, regarding the popular culture and the intercommunal relations of the Turkish-speaking and Greek-speaking Ottoman population.
Dr. Evangelia Chaldaeaki (Ptychio in Turkish Language, Philology and History, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens – 2014; MA in Folklore Studies from the same University – 2017) received her doctorate from the Department of Turkish and Modern Asian Studies of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in 2022 with a dissertation titled Folk music in the Turkish and Greek musical collections of late Ottoman era: Popular culture and intercommunal relations (in Greek). Today she is a port-doctoral researcher at the Department of Music Studies of the University of Ioannina, with the research titled “Turkish and Greek folk music in the Greek musical collections of late Ottoman era: Musical transnotations, commenting and modern performance”. She is an experienced researcher and has conducted extensive historical work through archival research, while at the same time being an active musician. Most of her work concerns archival research around her areas of studies, like Greek and Turkish music, culture and folklore. She holds a Diploma in Byzantine music, while she also teaches singing at the Center of Greek Music “Fivos Anogianakes” and takes part in concerts either as a soloist or with her choir “Fivos Anogianakes”. She has received several distinctions for her work. During the academic year 2015-2016 she was a scholar of the Sasakawa Young Leaders Fund (SYLFF) and between years 2019-2021 of the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (H.F.R.I.). Her master thesis titled K. A. Psachos and his contribution to recording and studying Greek folk songs (in Greek) received the 2018 Kaftantzoglio Award. Also, it was published in 2017 as a monography from Edition Orpheus.

Forging National Music on Both Sides of the Aegean
March 29, 2023 19:00 Istanbul + 3 GMT
Music is an efficient medium that has the power of conveying ideas and shaping identities, including national ones. This talk looks specifically at how music contributed to the construction of national identities in Greece and the late Ottoman Empire between 1870 and 1920, when national sentiment reached new highs. Based on a comparative approach, this lecture aims to show similarities but also differences in the emergence of narratives around music and national identity in the two nations. In order to approach this complex topic, the speaker will use historical materials and data to look how the national music discourse in both nations emerged and what fundamental topics were debated. Secondly, by using case studies from the field of school music education, the presenter will show how the ideas of the national music discourse were put into practice. A selection of Ottoman and Greek school songs will show which ideological and pedagogical currents they followed, but also how school songs were used to convey national ideology to young children who in the future would shape the national collective.
Cüneyt-Ersin Mihci graduated from Heidelberg University with an M.A. in musicology and Spanish. In October 2012 he was accepted to the Graduate Programme in Transcultural Studies (GPTS) at the Cluster of Excellence Asia and Europe in a Global Context at the Heidelberg University. In his doctoral dissertation Forging National Music on Both Sides of the Aegean in the 19th and 20th Centuries, he looked at how music contributed to the formation of national identities in Greece and the late Ottoman Empire, especially in the field of intellectual discourse and in school music education. Since 2015, Ersin Mihci has been a research associate in the DFG-Project Corpus Musicae Ottomanicae where he is working on nineteenth-century music collections in Hampartsum notation. In his recent studies he looks at forms of music transmission of the Ottoman vocal music repertoire and how they can be approached and edited.

Iranian Music in Ottoman Sources:
Questions of Authenticity, Fidelity, and Cultural Transfer
Arastoo Mihandoust
University of Tehran, School of Performing Arts and Music
Wednesday, 22 March 2023, 19:00 (Turkish time; GMT +3)
The seminar investigates the early history of the migration of musicians and repertoires between Timurid Iran and the early Ottoman Empire on the basis of song-text collections (maǧmūʿas) and teḏkires (biographical dictionaries). In the Safavid-Ottoman song-text collections from the late 17th and early 18th century onwards, a certain group of compositions attributed to the Timurid masters of the 15th and 16th centuries can be regularly identified, together with a distinct awareness for the distant and different nature of this repertoire. The presentation aims to show that some of these compositions indeed stem from vocal compositions that in older sources are attributed to various composers such as Ṣafī ad-Dīn ʿAbd al-Muʾmin, ʿAlī Sitāʾī, Khwājah, Amīr Ġaḍanfar, Şams-I Rūmī, Hajjī Dadah, Ġulām Şādī, ʿAlī ʿAwwād, Ḥaydar Tūnī, and Şāh Pīlahdūz, thus indicating that actually old songs were still sung in the Safavid and Ottoman courts long after the names of most of these composers were forgotten, when they were misattributed to ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Marāġī and al-Fārābī. This study suggests that the capture of several Iranian musicians by Sultan Murād IV contributed to the survival of these works in the Ottoman repertoire. In conclusion, it seems that some of the compositions that were sung in different cities of Iran during the late Timurid and early Safavid periods, were transferred to the Ottoman courts and underwent some changes over time.
Arastoo Mihandoust is a pianist, ud player, composer, and ethnomusicologist whose research is currently focused on the Safavid-Ottoman Musical repertoire and how the two traditions stemmed from common origins. In addition to a B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from Tabriz University (2013) he holds a M.A. in ethnomusicology from Tehran University (2021). His research aims to put the current Iranian traditional music practice in historical context.

How to make a difference: Free 3D printed devices for earthquake victims
Zeynep Karagöz
Robotel Türkiye
Monday, 20 March 2023, 19:30 (Istanbul; GMT +3) / 17:30 (Berlin, GMT +1) / 11:30 a.m. (New York, EST)
This lecture offers an opportunity to learn more about our work at Robotel Türkiye, which I am heading, in providing free 3D-printed prostheses for children who lack access to such devices. I will focus the impact it has had on the lives of those we serve. Our primary focus has been on providing mechanical hands, arms, and fingers to children, although we have also served adults upon request. However, recent events have led us to extend our services to include shoulder mechanisms, adult models, and orthotic prosthesis devices.
On 6 February 2023, at 04:17 TRT (01:17 UTC), a M7.8 earthquake struck southern and central Turkey and northern and western Syria. In this lecture, I will focus on our efforts in the earthquake region in Turkey, where we have received numerous requests for our services. I will discuss the impact of our work in the region and the urgent need for volunteers and financial support to continue our efforts. Our organization is currently facing a significant increase in demand, and we cannot continue our vital work without additional resources.
I will discuss the challenges and successes of our work, and the ways in which interested individuals can get involved and make a difference. With your support, we can continue to serve those in need and make a positive impact on their lives.
Therefore, I would like to call for financial support from individuals, organizations, and institutions who share our vision of improving the lives of those who lack access to prosthetic devices. Donate by following this link: https://fonzip.com/robotel/online. Your contributions will go a long way in helping us provide free prostheses to those who need them the most. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that everyone has access to the medical care they deserve.
Zeynep Karagöz (Robotel Türkiye) graduated from MSÜ – Architecture and co-founded KOMA Architecture in 2001. With Robotel Türkiye, she started making 3D printed mechanical hands for children with hand deformation who do not have access to prosthetics. In 2017, Robotel became an NGO. Karagöz iş currently the head of Robot El Association and she designs collaborative multidimensional &multidisciplinary projects. She also shares her expertise as a speaker, trainer & mentor. Defining herself as a PROMAKER she is addicted to civil society & social entrepreneurship.

The Iconography of Early Eighteenth-Century Ottoman Single Sheet Paintings
Suzanne Compagnon MA MA
(University of Vienna)
Wednesday, 15 March 2023, 19:00 (Turkish time; GMT +3)
The talk presents some results of the author’s on-going PhD project on clothed figures and representation in Ottoman book painting with a focus on the single sheets attributed to the Ottoman artists ʿAbdülcelīl Çelebī Levnī (d. 1732) and ʿAbdüllah Buhārī (active between 1726 and 1745). These images depict figures in elaborate attire, generally alone against a generic background. The artworks have mainly survived as part of late eighteenth-century Ottoman albums. Their subject matter has only received cursory attention resulting in a rather superficial understanding of the iconography. The author’s PhD thesis offers a systematic analysis of this iconography, summarised in the present talk. The figures’ attire allows us to identify various stock characters. These evoke urban elite culture and, in some cases, connections to urban literary culture can be reconstructed. The paintings in the Levnī style clearly reinvest pictorial motifs popularised by Ottoman single sheet paintings in the seventeenth century. Their centrality as an iconographic source is well illustrated by the few depictions of Ottoman officials. These draw on seventeenth-century types developed outside of court workshops rather than on those of illustrated court histories. The paintings in the Levnī style are employed as a source for those in the Buhārī style, but the latter also reveal a direct engagement with seventeenth-century single sheets. The artists also represent novel subject matters. The talk explores these processes of iconographic renewal, foregrounding the creative agency reflected by the artworks.
Suzanne Compagnon is a PhD student at the University of Vienna, currently a visiting scholar at Sabancı University and the Orient-Institut Istanbul on a Marietta Blau scholarship. She specializes in early modern arts of the book with a focus on the Ottoman Empire. Her research interests also include textile and dress history as well as aesthetics and sensory history. Previously, she received her M.A. from the University of Vienna in Art History and her undergraduate M.A. from the University of Edinburgh in Arabic and History of Art.

Voices That Matter – Kurdish Women at the Limits of Representation in Contemporary Turkey, Marlene Schäfers

Wednesday, 1 February 2023, 19:00 (Turkish time, GMT +3)
“Raise your voice!” and “Speak up!” are familiar refrains that assume, all too easily, that gaining voice will lead to empowerment, healing, and inclusion for marginalized subjects. Marlene Schäfers’s Voices That Matter reveals where such assumptions fall short, demonstrating that “raising one’s voice” is no straightforward path to emancipation but fraught with anxieties, dilemmas, and contradictions. In its attention to the voice as form, this book examines not only what voices say but also how they do so, focusing on Kurdish contexts where oral genres have a long, rich legacy. Examining the social labor that voices carry out as they sound, speak, and resonate, Schäfers shows that where new vocal practices arise, they produce new selves and practices of social relations. In Turkey, recent decades have seen Kurdish voices gain increasing moral and political value as metaphors of representation and resistance. Women’s voices, in particular, are understood as potent means to withstand patriarchal restrictions and political oppression. By ethnographically tracing the transformations in how Kurdish women relate to and employ their voices as a result of these shifts, Schäfers illustrates how contemporary politics foster not only new hopes and desires but also create novel vulnerabilities as they valorize, elicit, and discipline voice in the name of empowerment and liberation.
Marlene Schäfers is Assistant Professor in Cultural Anthropology at Utrecht University. Her research focuses on the impact of state violence on intimate and gendered lives, the politics of death and the afterlife, and the intersections of affect and politics. She specializes in the anthropology of the Kurdish regions and modern Turkey. She obtained her PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2015. Before coming to Utrecht, she held a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship at Ghent University (2016-2019), an FWO Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship at the same institution (2019-2020), and a British Academy Newton International Fellowship at the University of Cambridge (2020-2021).

Hima in the House: Avian Architecture across the Islamic World
Wednesday, 7 December 2022, 19:00 (Turkish time, GMT +3)
Through its recent ecological turn, the scholarly study of “Islamic” architecture has expanded to take into greater account both the animal and vegetal worlds. As nature’s most accomplished architects, birds have long contributed to the biomorphic landscape and built environment of the greater Middle East. Stretching from Morocco to Turkey and India, houses made for birds, and made by birds, attest to the thriving of avian architecture across the centuries. Bird houses, whether impromptu or purpose-built, provide a type of sanctuary and refuge — or hima as conceptualized within Islamic philosophical and ecological traditions — dedicated to protecting avifauna and their related regions, the latter used as agricultural lands for human sustenance and/or as biodiversity reserves for non-human survival. Fluttering from nest and nook to tower and palace, this talk examines various types of bird houses along with their architectonic language and creative forms, their intersections with vulnerable places and peoples, and their bio-material contributions to an integrated creaturely world.

The place of Islamic artefacts in Osman Hamdi Bey’s artistic and museological career
Wednesday, 30 November 2022, 19:00 (Turkish time, GMT + 3)
Abstract
Osman Hamdi Bey (1842-1910), celebrated both for his talent as a painter and his achievements at the head of the Imperial Museum, has always had an ambiguous relationship to Islamic monuments, objects, and artefacts. On the one hand, they represented a gradual addition to the collections of the Imperial Museum, which eventually developed into a separate museum of Islamic art. On the other, they formed an integral part of his art, considering that he specialized, especially after the 1880s, in the depiction of Oriental(ist) scenes, consisting of one or a few figures in Eastern garb, located in, or before, a partially visible Ottoman monument, and surrounded by objects and artefacts of generally the same origin. Additionally, he also toyed with the idea of using these objects as a means of reviving local crafts, much in line with the arts and crafts movement initiated by the South Kensington Museum and emulated by practically every European state.
The three dimensions of Hamdi Bey’s engagement with Islamic arts and objects were not mutually exclusive. The use he made of these artefacts in the construction of imaginary scenes in his paintings was a constant until his death, and a close look at his works reveals numerous and significant repetitions and continuities. His treatment of the same objects as part of the museum’s collections was much less consistent. His initial plan of a revival of crafts never really took off, and soon left its place to the setting up of a collection that remained marginal compared to the institution’s focus on more ‘noble’ categories of antiquities. It was only towards the end of his life that this collection received much greater attention, mostly thanks to his brother Halil Edhem’s interest for Islamic heritage, in conformity with the rise of Turco-Islamic nationalism among the political and intellectual elites of the time.

Antiquities and Rarities in mid-19th Century Wallachia:
Dimitrie Papazoglu’s Collection for “The Feeling of Love of the Progress of my Nation”
Wednesday, 23 November 2022, 19:00 (Turkish time, GMT + 3)
In 1860, Dimitrie Papazoglu (1811 – 1892) opened a museum in his private residence on Calea Văcărești, no 151, Bucharest. During four decades, he had gathered a collection of “antiquities and rarities”, as he called it, that now formed the core of this private museum. Lieutenant Major Dimitrie Papazoglu had a significant military career; his family roots were either attributed to the Phanariot merchant family Papazoglu or to that of old Wallachian boyar Slătineanu. He received his formal education in the Habsburg imperial school in Brașov. After retiring from the army in 1857, he began dabbling in archaeology and history writing, and published a significant number of books, lithographs, and maps, often with a didactic purpose.
When Papazoglu describes the object-categories of his curatorial discourse he leaves the reader of one of his best-selling publications with the feeling of dealing with some form of Cabinets de curiosités or Wunderkammer. However, there is an evident didactic tendency in both his diverse publications, and his selection of artefacts. His insistence on and the various distinctions he makes between categories of “Turkish”, “Oriental”, and “Egyptian” provoke questions on their meaning in the context of the collection, the entangled histories of mid-19th century Ottoman Empire, and on the process of constructing a Romanian national heritage inventory. Dimitrie Papazoglu’s collection is not only a self-narrative of himself and his nationalist discourse, but also integrated in Romania’s self-representation, since Alexandru Odobescu exhibited a part of his collection in Romania’s national pavilion at the Exposition universelle d’art et d’industrie, in 1867. This talk will focus on Dimitrie Papazoglu’s collecting practices and attempt to answer questions such as: what are the meanings he assigned to the artefacts he collected? How did he define the concept of antiquities? What were the contents of his collection? What are the current available sources for (re-)tracing the collection?
Roxana Coman is currently a Post-Doctoral fellow at the Orient-Institut Istanbul and member of the COST Action Europe through Textiles: Network for an integrated and interdisciplinary Humanities. Her research interests include Ottoman material culture and private 19th and early 20th century collections in Romania. After graduating from a B.A. and M.A. in Art History at the Faculty of History, University of Bucharest, she explored in her Ph.D. the various narratives and representations on what was constructed as Oriental vs Romanian during the second half of the 19th century. Volunteering during her B.A. and M.A. studies in the National Museum of Art of Romania, she worked between 2016 – 2022 as a curator in the Bucharest Municipality
Museum.
After obtaining her Ph.D. in 2016, Roxana continued to research the dynamic between the presence of Ottoman material culture in Wallachia and Moldavia, and the strategies employed by the national state of Romania in dealing with its Ottoman legacy. Therefore, she attended several summer schools such as “Shadows of the Empires. Imperial Legacies and Mythologies in Central Eastern Europe,” 2021 in Sofia, Bulgaria, and “The City as Archive. Histories of Collecting and Archiving in and the Musealisation of Florence, Eighteenth Century to the Present,” 2018.

Recovering the Provisional. Musealization and Photography in the Early Years of the Museum of Ethnography and National Art in Bucharest (1906 – 1912)
Wednesday, 16 November 2022, 19:00 (Turkish time, GMT + 3)
The 1900 Exposition Universelle and the 1906 Bucharest Jubilee Exhibition brought renewed interest in defining Romanian national specificity in visual and applied arts for wider audiences at home and abroad. In this context, German-trained art historian Alexandru Tzigara-Samurcaș was appointed director of the newly established Museum of Ethnography and National Art in Bucharest (1906). Central to Tzigara-Samurcaș’ museal practice were his frequent acquisition trips in rural areas and his interventionist stance, which informed the relocation of large, freestanding structures to the museum – including an entire peasant house rebuilt indoors by its original maker. The museum and its collections were accommodated on the premises of the former State Mint, an ensemble shared with other public institutions on the northern outskirts of the city, while Tzigara-Samurcaș championed the project of a purposefully designed edifice in grand “national style” to be built on the same site, or preferably closer to downtown Bucharest. As such, the first ethnographic exhibition set up for about four years (April 1907 – spring of 1912) was caught in a peculiar state of fluidity: its existence was needed as a proof of validity for the museum as a large-scale project, but its setup at the old Mint was intended to remain provisional. Moreover, the incipient state of the collections left taxonomies, aesthetics and the underlying cultural narrative of the exhibition in constant negotiation, with displays reworked and artefacts permutated in the pace of new entries to the museum’s inventory.
Judging by his published work, it would seem that Tzigara-Samurcaș was not interested in memorializing his early museal experiments. While his militant articles from the 1900s included several views of the provisional exhibition, none was reproduced in his Romanian Museography (1936). The surviving photographic fonds of the museum comprise nonetheless several series of glass-plate negatives documenting the exhibition rooms, as well as details and individual artefacts put on display. TzigaraSamurcaș’ own production as an amateur photographer includes early film negatives taken on his acquisition trips and in the early setup of the museum. This presentation will draw the outlines of a comprehensive approach to this largely unstudied corpus. It aims to recover, as much as possible, the concreteness of these inaccessible spaces, to shed light on the intertwined microhistories of musealisation captured herein, and to reflect on the uses of photography in an early 20th century museum.
Theodor E. Ulieriu-Rostás has studied history and archaeology at the University of Bucharest, the University of Montpellier and the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (Paris). He received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Bucharest (2013) and was subsequently a research fellow at the New Europe College (2015 – 2016) and the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest (2018 – 2019). He also received research scholarships from the French Government, the French School at Athens, and the Hardt Foundation for the Study of Classical Antiquity (Vandoeuvres). Theodor E. Ulieriu-Rostás currently holds the position of assistant researcher at the Ethnological Archive of the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant (Bucharest), where his research centres on 19th and early 20th century photography in Central and Southeast Europe.

Inveniam Viam Aut Faciam:
Sadberk Koç as a Rigorous Collector
Wednesday, 9 November 2022, 19:00 (Turkish time, GMT + 3)
Turkey’s first private museum is named after Sadberk Koç, who pioneered in the development of private museums in this country. She is not only a key figure in the history of Turkish museums, but also in systematic antiques collecting. Sadberk Hanım was born in Ankara in 1908, the second of three daughters of Seraktar Sadullah Bey, who belonged to an eminent local family. She attended the Sainte-Euphémie French Junior School for Girls in Istanbul and at the age of 18 married her maternal cousin Vehbi Koç. Sadberk Hanım was a woman strongly attached to traditional values and family life and a supportive and understanding wife and caring mother, who ensured that her children grew up in a happy, peaceful environment that embraced the principles of the young Turkish Republic. At the same time, she was a dedicated collector with a keen aesthetic eye, who endeavoured to preserve Turkey’s cultural heritage. The collection that she gathered so meticulously now forms the nucleus of the Sadberk Hanım Museum collection, Turkey’s first private museum, which was founded with her encouragement and in her name. This collection, consisting particularly of textiles, embroideries and artifacts of other Ottoman arts that are now falling into oblivion, has in this way become available to the general public and academics, so opening the way for fresh ideas. Although Sadberk Hanım’s name is referenced in diverse publications on Turkey’s museums, her visionary personality, her role as a systematic collector, her contribution to preserving our cultural heritage and to the development of private museums in Turkey have not been sufficiently recognised. This lecture seeks to fill this gap by examing the development of Sadberk Hanım’s collection, the reflection of her personal characteristics on this development and the importance of her visionary approach in the context of antiques collection, private museums, preserving our cultural heritage and other areas. The lecture begins with an introduction about Sadberk Hanım’s life and goes onto to discuss her interest in art, her early collecting, the expansion of her collection, the past, present and future of Sadberk Hanım Museum, and the importance of its collection, especially in the field of textiles.
M. Merve Uca graduated in Archaeology from Bilkent University and completed a minor degree in Ottoman History at the same university. This led her into the study Sadberk Koç photographed at the end of the 1920s, Sadberk Hanım Müzesi archiveOrient-Institut Istanbul Lecture Series 7 of Ottoman cultural history. She went on to take a master’s degree in Art History at Koç University; writing a thesis entitled “A Fashion Bonanza: Representation of Ottoman Woman in the Sixteenth-Century Costume Albums”, under her supervisor Prof. Dr. Günsel Renda. She worked as a research assistant at Koç University from 2016 until 2019, when she was appointed as an art history expert at Sadberk Hanım Museum. She is currently serving as curatorial team coordinator, responsible for coordinating content development and relocation projects for the museum, which is in the process of relocating to a new site in the Golden Horn area. While working in fields such as museum design, developing concepts and scenarios for museums, and relations between objects and their contexts, she is simultaneously pursuing her academic studies on subjects including early Ottoman period textiles and costume, Ottoman cultural history and Ottoman-European relations.

“Karagöz is ours”: İsmayıl Hakkı Baltacıoğlu’s Cultural Revivalism and the Long Turkish Modernity
Wednesday, 26 October 2022, 19:00 (Turkish time, GMT + 3)
In 1939, the Turkish scholar and art critic İsmayıl Hakkı Baltacıoğlu (1886-1978) spearheaded within the pages of his magazine Yeni Adam (New Man) a campaign of recovery of shadow theatre plays. Known informally as Karagöz plays, these candlelit performances of flat figurines mounted on sticks had been a widespread cultural phenomenon during the Ottoman Empire, but their relevance in the newly built, progress-facing Turkish Republic had been under questioning by the Turkish intelligentsia. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s programme of modernisation of Turkey, in fact, gestured towards the ideological severance of the Republic from its very recent Ottoman past. For Baltacıoğlu, who belonged to an oppositional faction of more “conservative” minded intellectuals, the inherent modernity of the Turkish nation could only be located in select, surviving forms of its collective memory and traditions – of which Karagöz was a powerful example – upon which Baltacıoğlu bestowed a creative impetus capable of revealing an authentic, self-sufficient and modern Turkish identity.
This lecture will discuss Baltacıoğlu’s recuperation of Karagöz in the press as instances of a wider phenomenon of cultural revivalism, closely connected to local art historiographical practices that had been developed since the 1920s. These accounts, privileging notions of anachronism, historical duration and the survival of form, joined an anti-orientalist and anti-colonial tradition which paired a deliberate self-orientalising vocabulary to avant-garde terminology adapted from European artistic quarters. Baltacioglu’s cultural intervention, whose conservative modernist attitude was politically motivated by his nationalistic beliefs, articulated the shadow theatre plays and its puppets as mobile carriers of the region’s artistic memory, positioning Turkish art history on an alternative trajectory of influence, memory and progress.
Dr Ambra D’Antone is a historian of global modern art and art historiography, with a particular interest for Early Republican Turkey, Syria and Lebanon.

The story of the rise of modern Arabic literature begins in the 19th century when the encounter with Europe instigates a far-reaching process of translation, adaptation, and transmutation against the backdrop of a wider move towards state-modernization on the one hand and incipient colonization on the other. In the throes of these sweeping changes, modern Arabic literature is born as a hybrid; its early examples in the 19th century are a mixture of traditional Arabic literary forms and modern European ones.
Turning to debates on “khayal” (the imaginary, or as we go on to discover: the spectral) in the 19th century, this talk re-tells the story of the inception of literary modernity in Arabic, in the late Ottoman period as an arduous reckoning with modern political sovereignty.
Dr. Maha AbdelMegeed is an Assistant Professor of Arabic Literature at the American University of Beirut. Her current research focuses on rethinking the narratives of the origins of literary modernity in Arabic as well as on the changing conceptions of Arabic language from mid 18thcentury till the early decades of the 20thcentury. Dr. AbdelMegeed is currently a visiting scholar at the Orient-Institut Istanbul.

Polish Republic was founded in 1918 and was able to defend its independence against Bolsheviks in the following years. The Peace Treaty of Riga (1921) was, however, rather a cease-fire and the Soviet Union conducted multilevel pressure on Poland trying to import revolution and to back ethnic separatism. Warsaw’s answer was the strategy of Prometheanism, covert financial and moral support for non-Russian exile elites of the former Tsardom scattered in Paris, Contanta, Istanbul and other cities. Numerous representatives of Crimean and Kazan Tatars, North Caucasians, Azeris, Turkestanis and Ukrainians found refuge in the early 1920s in Istanbul.
Poland supported and (co-)financed several edition and publication projects of those political emigrants and heavily contributed to the emergence of Turkish anti-Communist thought.

The iranian cinema today still have been directly and indirectly influenced not only by Jean Rouch’s method, but also through his vision and his sociological work. Persian Tales show how the young generation of iranian filmmakers, like Jean Rouch think about how camera can change reality!
In 2017, French TV5 Monde broadcast “Jean Rouch Persian look”, on the occasion of the centenary of Jean Rouch , which is about Jean Rouch and the transe tradition in Iran. It is based on Iranian and French archive. It is the first film of Mina Rad about Jean Rouch

THE ENIGMA OF JEAN ROUCH IN TURIN CHRONICLE OF A « FILM RATÉ » , a film by Marco di Castri, Paolo Favaro, Daniele Pianciola , 90’, Les Films du Jeudi
Les Films de la Pléiade, published by Montparnasse publisher
Jean Rouch: ethnographer and filmmaker, one of the outstanding personalities of post-war international cinema, inventor of direct cinema, and, according to Jean-Luc Godard, the true animator of the Nouvelle Vague. In the middle of his career in the mid 80’s, after dozens of films shot between Côte d’Ivoire and Mali, he leaves the river Niger and the Dogon people just to land on the banks of the Po in Turin, following the footsteps of a pale fox that had appeared in a dream to a Swiss painter. What did he come for? In an industrial city of the working class North of Italy which had nothing at all to do with Africa? What had brought him to join with us three, then just three enthusiastic young film- makers, what led him to embark on a fleeing submarine bound for Egypt?
The film we shot with him in 1986 was called Enigma, and this enigma we have sought to unveil here with our words as witnesses, protagonists with Jean Rouch in an adventure that led us to share joyfully our imaginations. The film is based on over 40 hours of backstage filmed between 1984 and 1986, and is the most complete documentation of the peculiar ways of approaching and thinking cinema making by the great French author.

Festvortrag von Prof. Dr. em. Peter Zieme (Berlin):
Barbara Kellner-Heinkele – ein Leben für die Turkologie
Der namhafte Iranist und Turkologe Prof. Dr. em. Peter Zieme, in Fachkreisen vor allem bekannt durch die fast 25-jährige Forschungstätigkeit im Rahmen des Akademievorhabens zur „Turfanforschung“ der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu den Textzeugnissen der alten Kulturen an der Seidenstrasse, hält anlässlich ihres runden Geburtstages die Laudatio zu Ehren von Frau Prof. Dr. em. Barbara Kellner-Heinkele.
Die einstige wissenschaftliche Referentin am Orient-Institut Beirut von 1979 bis 1982 hatte im Anschluß an den Forschungsaufenthalt im Libanon als Lehrstuhlinhaberin für Turkologie, zunächst an der Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt am Main sowie ab 1990 an der Freien Universität Berlin, entscheidenden Einfluß auf den Fortbestand der Turkologie in Deutschland in ihrer klassisch breit angelegten philologisch-historischen Ausrichtung im Sinne einer Gesamtturkologie. Ihren Studierenden erschloß sich hierdurch die besondere Möglichkeit, sich mit den Grundlagen und gegenwartsbezogenen Fragen türkischer Literatur, türkischem Theater, der osmanischen Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte ebenso zu befassen, wie auch mit den Turksprachen des Wolgaraums oder Mittelasiens.
Seit ihrer bei Bertold Spuler 1968 abgefassten Dissertation Aus den Aufzeichnungen des Sa‘īd Giray Sultān. Eine zeitgenössische Quelle zur Geschichte des Chanats der Krim um Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts galt ein persönlicher Interessensschwerpunkt dabei immer der von ihr viel bereisten Krim und den Krimtataren. Für die Wahrung ihres kulturellen Erbes hat sie sich stets mit besonderem Nachdruck eingesetzt.

Parodying Songs of Praise: towards an understanding of Sumerian mock hymns
Wednesday, 6 April 2022, 19:00 (GMT +3)
Sumerian literature is recognized as the world’s oldest literature. It has only been recovered in the last century and this pioneering work continues today. While most major compositions such as epics and myths are available in modern translations, Sumerian mock hymns are hitherto completely unknown.
Taking as its starting point a nearly 4000 years old Sumerian literary text that has so far defied translation and interpretation, the paper will outline possible approaches to better understand a small group of texts whose genre is open to question. Previous scholarship – virtually non-existent as it is – has solely highlighted the texts’ derogative content, consisting of an abundance of verbal abuse directed at stereotypical incompetent and morally depraved characters. Allegedly devoid of literary sophistication, they have been dismissed as half-baked exercises in invective. By shifting the focus to their formal resemblance to hymns, I argue that these texts are not mere collections of random insults but can more aptly be described as parodies of hymns, or mock hymns. The longest and most complex of these compositions moreover contains intertextual allusions to practically all genres of Sumerian literature, ranging from proverbs to lamentations, from epics to love songs, and from lexical lists to prayers. The mock hymns hence reveal important new insights not only into the reception of traditional Sumerian literature from the 3rd millennium BCE by Babylonian scribes in the early 2nd millennium BCE, but also into the composition of humorous new texts in the intellectual milieux of Babylonia.
Dr. Jana Matuszak is Assistant Professor in Sumerology at the Institute for Ancient Near Eastern Studies (IANES) at the University of Tübingen, Germany and co-editor of the bi-annually published academic journal Altorientalische Forschungen. Previously she worked as Research and Teaching Associate at the University of Jena and as Lecturer in Ancient Near Eastern Studies at SOAS University of London. Her research focuses on the recovery of Sumerian literature, the intersection of gender, law and morality in Mesopotamia, as well as the intellectual history of Babylonia. Her award-winning PhD dissertation was published in 2021 by De Gruyter under the title “Und du, du bist eine Frau?!” Editio princeps und Analyse des sumerischen Streitgesprächs ‘Zwei Frauen B.’ With the support of a Gerald D. Feldman travel grant of the Max Weber Foundation Dr. Matuszak is currently conducting field-research in Istanbul as a visiting scholar at the Orient-Institut Istanbul.

Die Zeit um 1900, also die Zeit der Herrschaft von Sultan Abdülhamid II. (reg. 1876-1909), war vom Bemühen geprägt, sich gegenüber den übermächtigen europäischen imperialen Staaten zu behaupten. Unter den Strategien einer positiven Selbstdarstellung boten sich fotografische Selbstdokumentationen des Osmanischen Reiches in besonderer Weise an. Das aus dieser Zeit erhaltene umfangreiche Bildmaterial verdankt sich zu großen Teilen privaten Ateliers wie Abdullah Frères und Sébah & Joaillier, aber auch staatlichen Zusammenstellungen von fotografischem Material, wie etwa die heute am British Museum und in der Library of Congress vorhandene «Abdülhamid Collection», aus der auch die Aufnahme aus dem Frauenkrankenhaus in Hasköy stammt. Solche Formen der Selbstdarstellungen hatten aber ihre Schattenseiten: Die Monotonie und Leblosigkeit der Abbildungen in diesen fotografischen Sammlungen sind erstaunlich. Zudem traten neben den erwünschten Formen der Selbstdarstellung die politische Unberechenbarkeit dieses neuen Mediums: Bedenken von Abdülhamid II. gegenüber der Fotografie waren berechtigt, da eine unkontrollierte Bildverbreitung politisch problematisch sein konnte. Der Vortrag wird nachzeichnen, welche Formen und Strategien der Selbstdarstellung dem Osmanischen Reich um die Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert zur Verfügung standen und dabei in besonderer Weise auf das Medium der Fotografie blicken.

As is the case with many other former Ottoman regions, Romania’s relation with its imperial Ottoman legacy is a complex, multilayered, contradictory, and ambiguous one. These ambiguities seem to permeate almost every aspect of 19th and 20th century’s Romanian culture and society in the constructivist spirit of searching for roots while building a new and modern nation state. However, the double role of being both subject and agent of an Orientalist gaze becomes even more apparent in visual culture. Artists Carol Popp de Szathmary (1812-1887), born and educated in Habsburg Transylvania, and Theodor Aman (1831-1891), the descendent of an Aromanian merchant from Oltenia, represent two of the kaleidoscopic discourses on what was perceived and constructed as Oriental in 19th century Romania. Both used various artistic mediums and techniques in their work, cultivated a tight knit relationship with Romanian central authorities and nationalists, and were quite adept in what would today be called marketing strategies. This talk will address the complexities of their artworks as products of social representations of history (Pascal Ory) making use of specific conventions of representation (Peter Burke) that mediate a certain text as image/image as text approach to art.
Dr. Roxana Coman has studied Art History and Romanian Modern History at the University of Bucharest, with a BA and MA in Art History and a PhD in History.

Reevaluating the Institutional Autonomy of 14th Century Mount Athos under the Ottomans: The “Confiscation Issue” with Regard to Athonian Landholdings in Postbyzantine Macedonia
The self-governed monastic community of Mount Athos is the only surviving monastic center of many that once existed in the extensive territory of the previous Byzantine Empire. Τhis sο-called monastic democracy situated on the peninsula of Chalkidiki in Northern Greece, covers an area of about 335,000 acres and has held significant real estate through its numerous dependencies (metochia), especially in the wider area of Macedonia and Thrace as well as on the islands of the North Aegean. The dependences occupied a total area about ten times that of the Athos peninsula, which is distributed among the 20 Athonite Monasteries. The foundation of the Athonian monastic community dates back to the 8th century. From the 9th century onwards, the Byzantine emperors took care to endow it with a unique legal status, characterized by institutional self-sufficiency, which has ensured its survival to the present day.
In the 1380s, when Thrace and Macedonia submitted to Ottoman rule in a first phase of conquest, Mount Athos and its monastic domains, located in this area, seem to have been granted a special legal status, which by all indications was the result of timely and reliable negotiations.
It has been argued, however, that the Ottoman overlords caused massive deprivation by confiscating landed property and dependencies of the monasteries, right from the beginning of the conquest. It has recently been argued by drawing on selected archival documents of the late 14th century that even those Athonite monasteries, traditionally believed to have preserved all their properties thanks to their bargaining submission to the Ottomans, suffered severe losses.
This lecture will question the traditional view on these presumed “confiscations” on the basis of a thorough reexamination of the extant primary sources held at different Athonian monasteries. It will be argued that a reinterpretation of the legal acts in question will show that the Ottoman administrative practice has in fact preserved and upheld for future centuries the protection of institutional autonomy for Mount Athos.
Dr. Anastasios B. Nikopoulos is an achieved jurist and a legal historian of Byzantine law.
After studying law at Aristotle University in Thessaloniki, he continued his studies on the postgraduate level in International Humanitarian Law at the Institut International de Droit Humanitaire at San Remo, Italy, and in Constitutional Law at the Max-Planck-Institut für ausländisches und internationales Staatsrecht in Heidelberg, Germany. He is a former member of the Greek Parliament. As a jurist, he has been a legal adviser to the Greek Ministry of Defense and he continues to serve as a legal counsellor for the Holy Monastic Community of Mount Athos.
In 2019, he earned his PhD in Byzantine Studies under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Johannes Niehoff-Panagiotidis at Freie Universität Berlin with a thesis on the legal status of Mount Athos under Byzantine Rule (8th-15th centuries). He has published widely on Greek constitutional and administrative law. As a legal historian he has made a name for himself as one of the foremost experts on the Byzantine legal history with a special focus on the legal status of the autonomous monastic community of Mount Athos. Dr. Nikopoulos’ doctoral thesis has been published in Greek in 2021 (Η διάπλαση του αρχαίου καθεστώτος του Αγίου Όρους. Ι, Η Βυζαντινή περίοδος 8ος αι. – αρχές 15ου αι) by the Center for Patristic Studies in Thessaloniki.

Abstract:
This talk presents a newly published edited volume about debates on language policy and planning in the Republic of Turkey. The eight chapters deal with various aspects related to both the official language Turkish and the other languages used in Turkey, whether autochthonous minority languages or languages that have recently become important through migration. For their analyses, the authors, coming from different disciplinary backgrounds like Turkology, political science or history, use methods like discourse analysis, mixed-method approaches or concepts from the field of linguistic landscapes research.
Topics include re-evaluations of the Turkish Language Reform of the 1920s and 1930s, analyses of debates concerning the Turkish language in connection with questions of gender, loanwords and use in political speeches, the language on public and private signs, demands raised in connection with the so-called “Democratic Opening” initiated in 2009 or the migration of refugees from Syria since 2011. Attention to current developments also provides new perspectives on the early phase of language policy in Turkey and the question whether such developments can be seen as continuities or discontinuities. In any case, this book makes an engaging contribution to what seems to be “a never-ending story”.

Deutsche Institutionen in Istanbul in den Jahren 1933 bis 1944
Die Geschichte deutscher Gemeinden im Ausland während der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus ist Gegenstand fundierter Untersuchungen. Entfernt von abstrakter Theoriebildung betrachtet der Vortrag die soziale Praxis vor Ort und liefert einen Überblick über die einsetzenden Prozesse in deutschen Institutionen im Zeitraum von 1933 bis 1944.
Mit der nationalsozialistischen »Machtergreifung« im Jahr 1933 wurden alle staatlichen Einrichtungen des Deutschen Reiches »gleichgeschaltet«. Dies betraf ebenso die Einrichtungen im Ausland wie das Deutsche Archäologische Institut in Istanbul. Die Untersuchung der Geschichte der Abteilung eröffnete auf der Basis des vorliegenden Aktenmaterials Einblick in die sich verändernde auswärtige Kulturpolitik unter dem NS-Regime. Damit einher ging die Instrumentalisierung des Institutes als auch der wissenschaftlichen Disziplin zugunsten der nationalsozialistischen Propaganda.
Der Vortrag betrachtet darüber hinaus nicht nur die Implementierung von NS-Strukturen und Gedankengut in weiteren deutschen Einrichtungen sondern auch den Prozess der Vereinnahmung sowie die aktive Mitwirkung lokaler Akteure der Deutschen Gemeinde in Istanbul, die sich mit dem NS-Staat arrangierten. Jene Akteure in der Metropole am Bosporus zeigten in ihren Entscheidungen ein ambivalentes Verhalten, das zwischen diplomatischem Geschick im türkischen Umfeld sowie Loyalität gegenüber dem nationalsozialistischem Regime rangierte.

Abstract:
Like Yusuf Akçura, Abdullah Battal-Taymas and other intellectuals of Tatar origin, Sadri Maksudi Arsal (1879–1957) from Kazan played an important role for the construction and development of the Turkish Republic. He met Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and made important contributions to the Kemalist reforms of law, politics, history and language. His role in the Turkish Language Reform is often underestimated. In his huge book Türk Dili İçin (‘For the Sake of the Turkish Language’) he defended the idea of establishing a pure modern Turkish literary language not only for Turkey, but for all Turkic people in the world. He analyzed the language reforms of several other nations like the Romans, Arabs, Germans, French, Czech, Finns, Russians and Hungarians and explained that Turkish, in his view one of the richest and most ingenious languages in the world, should be reformed accordingly. He was convinced it was possible to replace almost all loan and foreign words with genuine Turkish words and expressions taken from the spoken language in Turkey and its dialects, from Ancient Turkish and other Turkic idioms, or with new words coined with the help of the rich fundus of Turkish suffixes. This idea was crucial during the first period of the Kemalist language reform. The book had considerable impact on Mustafa Kemal who wrote a short preface for it saying that an independent nation needs an independent language. These words became the main slogan of the language reform and are cited in numerous studies. The contents of Maksudi’s book, however, mostly did not become the subject of a deeper analysis. Max Scherberger will take a closer look at the book and Maksudi’s ideas about the Turkish language and its reform.
About the speaker:
Max Scherberger studied Islamic studies and history at the University of Freiburg (1993–2000). From 2000 to 2003 he worked at CEBHEM (the Center for the Economic and Business History of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East), a project at the University of Tübingen that included studies in the Archives of Poche (Aleppo) and the Ottoman Archives of the Prime Minister’s Office (Istanbul). In 2019 he graduated from the Department of Turkology and Central Asian Studies at the University of Göttingen with a PhD dissertation about Sadri Maksudi Arsal and his book Türk Dili İçin (about to be published). His main research fields are Eastern Middle Turkic ascension literature, Ottoman-Safavid relations, Ottoman and modern Turkish, Language Reform in Turkey. His publications include: “Türk dili, dillerin en zenginlerindendir”: Sadri Maksudi’nin Türk Dili için adlı kitabına bir bakış (2019), Der tatarisch-türkische Intellektuelle Sadri Maksudi Arsal (1878–1957) und seine Bedeutung für die Entwicklung des Türkentums in Russland und in der Türkei (2013), Das Mi‘rāǧnāme. Die Himmel- und Höllenfahrt des Propheten Muḥammad in der osttürkischen Überlieferung (2003).

Abstract:
The Ottoman Empire was a fundamentally multilingual society. In the course of the late Ottoman and early Republican period, certain policies, rules and practices were introduced in order to influence the linguistic situation and to establish the dominant language in the society, without a perspective for maintaining its linguistic diversity. In this talk Dr. Nevra Lischewski introduces a conceptual framework of language planning. In doing so she undertakes a detailed, long-term analysis of the linguistic situation, policies and practices of the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Turkey with the aim of explaining linguistic issues by addressing larger social and political matters and of evoking awareness of multilingualism and linguistic diversity.
About the speaker:
Dr. Nevra Lischewski is lecturer of Ottoman and modern Turkish at the Institute of Near and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Munich. She studied linguistics at Ankara University and then worked as a Turkish language instructor at the Language Centre of Ankara University. In Germany, she continued to work as a Turkish language instructor at the Institute of Near and Middle Eastern Studies and the Language Centre of the University of Munich. She graduated with a Master’s degree in Linguistics with minors in Turkish studies and intercultural communication at the University of Munich. She received her PhD in Turkology and linguistics at the University of Munich.
Her research interest as a linguist focuses on the social aspects of language. Hence, language is not an object that can be considered in isolation, but rather is a social practice that is inseparable from its social and historical context. She applies this view on language, which refers to the disciplines of sociolinguistic and linguistic ecology, in her PhD thesis “Sociolinguistic Profile and Language Planning of the Ottoman Empire between 1850–1950” (soon to be published by Harrassowitz under the title “From Multilingualism to Monolingualism”).

Abstract:
The Turkish Language Reform is one of the most fascinating cultural projects of the first half of the 20th century. Throughout the 1920s, numerous distinguished linguists from Hungary, Soviet Russia and Poland visited the University of Istanbul and maintained close contacts with Turkish academia. Mészaros Gyula, Wilhelm Barthold and Süreyya Szapszal were important inspirers, commentators and co-shapers of the Turkish linguistic purism of the 1920s. Neglected by international scholarship, Hungarian, Polish and Russian specialists along with the Turkic exiled linguists based in Istanbul and Ankara heavily contributed to the Language Reform in Turkey by knowledge and experience transfer. The paper tries to shed light on the East European impact on the Language Reform in Turkey in the 1920–30s.
About the speaker:
Dr. Zaur Gasimov studied international relations, international law and history in Baku and Berlin. In 2009, he graduated from the PhD program at the Catholic University Eichstätt-Ingolstadt and joined the Leibniz-Institute of European History in Mainz, Germany.

Don Juan Archiv Wien is a research institute in Vienna dedicated to theatre history and cultural history, conducting scholarly and cultural projects mainly concerned with the global history of theatre. Since 2008 Don Juan Archiv has undertaken a long-lasting project of conference and publication series, OTTOMANIA, which is centralized on the cultural transfers between the Ottoman Empire and Europe with a focus on the performing arts. The project OTTOMANIA, with the cooperations established within, and its results have led to the launching of a new conference and publication series in 2016, DIPLOMATICA: mainly dedicated to the interrelations of culture and diplomacy, this series focuses on the exploration of the cultural aspects of diplomacy up to the 19th century in the European and Ottoman contexts. The first three editions of the series DIPLOMATICA are currently in preparation: Culture and Diplomacy, Gender and Diplomacy and Performing Diplomacy in the Early Modern World.
A new third series, BRASILIENSIA, focuses on the cultural transfers between Europe and Latin America. The first volume is dedicated to the first performance of Mozart’s Don Giovanni outside of Europe in Rio de Janeiro in 1821, and its cultural-political context.
These projects and their manifold aspects might invite colleagues working in the field of culture and diplomacy for future cooperation.

INVITATION TO AN ONLINE LECTURE
“Fabrics of Devotion: Religious Textiles in the Eastern Mediterranean”
The Jewish Prayer Shawl Tallit
Dr. Esther Juhasz (Shenkar College /The Israel Museum, Jerusalem)
Wednesday, 20 October 2021, 19:00 (Turkish time, GMT+3)
The tallit, the fringed garment, is worn by observant Jewish males to this day. The appending of the fringes – tzitzit – to one’s attire is a fundamental biblical commandment, and its significance transcends the realm of dress. Its fulfillment is deemed equivalent to the fulfillment of all the mitzvot (commandments) a Jew is expected to perform.
The commandment is imbued with mnemonic, mystical, and magical meanings, and is expressed in the halakhic literature and in the wealth of local custom and interpretation. These bear on such material matters as the fabric, size, color, and knotting of the tassels, on who may make the tallit or knot the tassel strings, and on how, when, and where the garments should be worn and more. Drawing on decades of research of aspects Sephardi material culture in the Ottoman Empire and on her experience working with the ethnographic collections of The Israel Museum (Jerusalem), Esther Juhasz will shed light onto the vital role and the multiple implications of threads, knots, fringes, and fabrics in Jewish ritual life, past and present.
Dr. Esther Juhasz is a researcher of Jewish material culture who studies dress, textiles and visual religion in the intersection between art, folk culture and popular culture. She has worked for many years in curatorial and research positions at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem. There she specialized in ethnography and published the book Sephardi Jews in the Ottoman Empire. Aspects of Material Culture (1990) for which she received the Dawidowic Prize for Ethnography and Folklore.
She holds an M.A in Art History and a Ph.D. in the Folklore and Folk Culture Studies department at the Hebrew University. Currently she is teaching at Shenkar College of Engineering Design and Art in Ramat Gan. Her recent publications include The Jewish Wardrobe. From The Collections of the Israel Museum (2012), of which she is both the editor and principal author, Trousseau Lists of Jewish Brides from Izmir Between an Official document and a Personal Narrative (2015), and Visibility, Perception and Memory in Clothes: Dilemmas of Identity in the Dress of Jewish Women in Immigrant Communities (2020).

Many historical vestments and church fabrics of the Greek Orthodox rite survive today in monastic sacristies and museums. Until now, textile and dress scholars have primarily focused on their ultimate origin, historic evolution, and dogmatic meaning. In my view, these important material remnants inform us on underexplored dynamics in the society that produced them and illuminate the ways in which trends originating from different milieus were appropriated within clerical context. As reflections of cultural, religious, and artistic identity, ecclesial fabrics can offer insights on the Church’s association to religious otherness and profane, or better, court aesthetics. Focusing on liturgical textiles and vestments, the lecture will discuss how the “Islamic” and “secular” elements were negotiated by the Church during Byzantine and Ottoman times. Essentially, our discussion will be centered on the tension between the usefulness and the limitations these taxonomies present when studying premodern church material culture.
Nikolaos Vryzidis is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of History and Archaeology of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. His scholarly work explores issues of identity in relation to material culture, and especially ecclesial textiles and metalwork, in the late medieval and early modern Mediterranean, subjects on which he has written more than twenty articles and book chapters. In 2016 he convened a conference on Mediterranean textiles, which resulted in an edited volume of essays (The Hidden Life of Textiles in the Medieval and Early Modern Mediterranean) published by Brepols in 2020. He also pursues research in cross-cultural aspects of medieval art, part of which will be published in a forthcoming volume on the religious arts that he currently co-edits.

Topkapı Sarayı’ndaki Din Konulu Tekstillere Genel Bir Bakış
Prof. Dr. Hülya Tezcan (Nişantaşı Üniversitesi):
Çarşamba, 29 Eylül 2021, 18:00 (GMT+3)
Topkapı Sarayı Padişah Elbiseleri Koleksiyonu’nda seksen yedi adet tılsımlı gömlek, bir yaka, beş takke, on yazılı örtüden oluşan yaklaşık yüz civarında eser bulunur. Bu gömleklerin kişiyi hastalıklara ve türlü kötülüklere karşı koruduğuna, hastalara şifa verdiğine ve giyeni savaşta muzaffer kıldığına inanılırdı. Tılsımlı gömlekler aharlanarak kâğıt özelliği kazandırılmış ince pamuklu kumaşlardan dikilmiştir. Üzerlerine Kur’an ayetleri, Allah’ın güzel isimleri, semboller, hat, nakışlar, ve rakamlar (cifr) ile ibarelerden (vefk) oluşan geometrik şekiller yazılmıştır. Topkapı Sarayı Koleksiyonu’nda yaldızlı, çok değerli hat ve tezhiplerle süslenmiş padişahlara ve hanedana ait gömleklerin yanında dervişler tarafından kullanılan daha mütevazi tılsımlı gömlek örnekleri de bulunur. Bu tılsımlı kıyafetler, kitap sanatları ile Osmanlı giyim kuşam âdetlerinin çok ilgi çekici bir sentezidir.
Topkapı Sarayı Koleksiyonları’nda bulunan din konulu tekstillere başka örnekler olarak Kâbe örtüleri (kisve) ve her sene İstanbul’dan Mekke’ye bir kervanla hediye gönderilen surre çadırları gösterilebilir. 1517 senesinden itibaren Osmanlı padişahları her sene Kâbe’ye yeni bir örtü yaptırmış ve altın iplerle işlenen bu örtüler, belirli ritüeller eşliğinde surre alayları ile Mekke’ye gönderilmiştir.
Bu konuşmada, uzun yıllar Topkapı Sarayı Padişah Elbiseleri Koleksiyonu’nun küratörlüğünü yapan Prof. Dr. Hülya Tezcan bu koleksiyona genel bir bakış sunacak ve eserlerin önemini ve çeşitliliğini anlatacaktır. Tezcan, İslam kültürünün tekstil boyutunun incelenmesi adına zengin bir arşiv arz eden bu koleksiyona dair tecrübelerini de bizimle paylaşacaktır.
Prof. Dr. Hülya Tezcan, İstanbul Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Sanat Tarihi Bölümü’nden 1968 yılında mezun oldu. 1971’de Topkapı Sarayı Müzesi’nde göreve başlayan Tezcan, 1978’den itibaren Padişah Elbiseleri Bölümü sorumlusu olarak çalıştı ve 2006’da emekli oldu. Müzede çalıştığı yıllarda, akademik kariyerine Bizans arkeolojisi alanında bir doktora tezi ile devam etti.

Living the Love of the Imams in Twelver Shi’a Islam in Iran. Objects and Materials as a Vehicle for Devotion
Sepideh Parsapajouh (CNRS-CéSor/EHESS)
sepideh.parsapajouh@ehess.fr
In Twelver Shi’ism, as in many other religions, devotion and piety are not merely conceptual and ideational nor are they directed towards a purely abstract God. Twelver Shi’a consists of a set of beliefs and practices dedicated primarily to fourteen holy figures: The Prophet Muhammad, his daughter, Fatimah al-Zahrâ, and the twelve Imams are known as the fourteen infallibles or 14 ma’sum that are woven together and developed by believers in order to lead them to God. Concrete materials such as time, places, objects, and even persons mediate believers’ connections to the holy figures and act as vehicles for devotion. In this presentation, after a short introduction to Twelver Shi’ism, I will address the issue of religious materiality in the life of some Iranian Imamite Shi’a groups on three levels: in their daily lives; in the ceremonies and particular rituals on annual occasions, and finally in pious visits (ziyârat). This presentation is based on the results of field research, the methodology of which I will briefly discuss. It will also be articulated with some anthropological concepts and ideas that my colleagues, Michel Boivin, Annabelle Collinet and Delphine Ortis, and I put forward and discussed in a seminar based on research conducted over four years (2015-2019) at the EHESS (Paris), entitled “Material Culture and Devotional Practices in Shi’a Societies”.
Sepideh Parsapajouh is an anthropologist at the National Center for Scientific Research – Center for Social Research on Religion (CéSor-EHESS). Her first research focused on an Iranian slum where she uncovered an order based on various solidarity mechanisms. This research led her to the importance of value systems and religious beliefs in the balance of a society. Since 2010, she has been studying various aspects of popular Shi’a religion, individual and collective, intimate and spectacular, in Iran and beyond, in particular practices related to death, devotion, and the worship of saints and martyrs, faith and acts in which the material and the spiritual are intertwined. Her publications include: Au cœur d’un bidonville Iranien, Paris, Karthala-IFRI, 2016 ; Cimetières et tombes dans les mondes musulmans à la croisée des enjeux religieux, politiques et mémoriels, Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée, Université de Provence, n° 146 (with Mathieu Terrier), 2019 ; Religions en Iran, special issue Archives de sciences sociales des religions (ASSR), éditions de l’EHESS, n° 189, (with Sabrina Mervin), 2020; Bodies and Artefacts : Relics and other devotional supports in Shia societies in the Indic and Iranian worlds, special issue of Islamic Material Culture, édition de Brill, n° 1, (with Annabelle Collinet and Michel Boivin), 2021.

Representations of Turks or Ottomans have been popular with European audiences for centuries, and for good reason. In early modern France, musico-theatrical patterns of portraying the foreign Other (later called ‘Turquerie’, ‘exoticism’ or ‘orientalism’) helped to classify the current condition of the bilateral relations with the Ottoman Empire. Accordingly, hybridity has to be understood as a processual and dynamic practice playing with cultural mixtures and borrowings, albeit possibly (re-)producing inequalities, misunderstandings and clichés. There is no claim of cultural – or musical – authenticity in these works; rather, they appear as musical features emerging out of vague inspirations derived from Ottoman/Turkish music, creating a particular sound that could easily be decoded as ‘Ottoman’ or ‘Turkish’ by French listeners.
In this workshop, we want to address the convergence of cultural communities on stage, and the conditions and contexts of this convergence, using as a point of departure the example of the iconic ‘Turkish scene’ from Lully/Molière’s Le Bourgeois gentilhomme (1670). International scholars of various disciplines will explore its musical, theatrical, and choreographic reception, focusing on two principal axes: (I) 17th– and 18th-century adaptions in France and the German lands, and (II) 20th-century translations and (musical) revisions in Turkey and Germany. The workshop will bring together researchers including those whose cultures were considered as ‘Other’, along with researchers whose own cultures portrayed foreign cultures as ‘Other’, in order to facilitate critical engagement with these historical and cultural representations.

Details
Klasik Türk müziği fasıl repertuarının en uzun ve karmaşık sözlü eser formu olan kâr, 17. yüzyıldan itibaren güfte mecmualarında kendine yer bulmuş, hattâ bu kaynaklardaki bazı kârların melodileri günümüze kadar ulaşmıştır. Güfteleri genellikle Farsça olan bu eserlerin önemli bir kısmının 15. yüzyılın efsanevi müzik bilgini Abdülkâdir Merâgî’ye atfedilmesi modern dönem müzikologlarınca şüpheyle karşılanmış, hattâ 17. yüzyıl öncesinden kalan yazılı kaynakları dikkate alan kimi müzikologlar sözkonusu eserlerin 17. yüzyıldan önce bestelenmiş olamayacağı kanaatine varmışlardır. Bu görüşe göre kâr formu, 17. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında vücuda getirildiği varsayılan fasıl anlayışının bir ürünü olmakla birlikte yapı ve dil özellikleri bakımından önceki dönemlerin formlarına öykünerek geliştirilmişti.
Bu bildiride yukarıdaki yargıların geçerliliği, aralarında 17. yüzyıl öncesinden kalan kaynakların da bulunduğu birçok el yazmasında karşılaşılan bilgiler üzerinden sorgulanacaktır. Kâr eski gelenekle bağ kurmak için 17. yüzyılda “icat edilen” bir form muydu, yoksa önceki dönemlerden gelen bir devamlılıktan söz edilebilir mi? Bugün icrâ edilen kârlar ne kadar geriye götürülebilir? Kâr formundaki eserler tavır bakımından hangi dönemi ve nasıl bir anlayışı temsil etmektedir? Şifahi aktarım, nazariyattaki değişimler ve icrâ tavırları arasındaki farklılıklar kâr formunu yapı ve stil bakımından nasıl etkilemiş olabilir? İddia edildiği gibi bütün Merâgî repertuvarı 17. yüzyıl mahsulü müydü? Daha önceki dönemlere ait eserlerin yüzyılların yıpratıcı etkisinden kurtularak sonraki yüzyıllara, hattâ günümüze ulaşabilmesi mümkün müdür? Bildiride bu sorulara cevap aranırken repertuvarda hâlâ mevcudiyetini koruyan bir eserin 15. yüzyıla kadar uzanan izleri sürülecektir.

Despite the growing literature on Ottoman photography, depictions of Mevlevis in particular continue to be considered a vestige of Orientalist thinking. The established narrative locates the images of Mevlevi dervishes alongside other ‘Oriental types.’ What is the raison d’etre of the photographs of Mevlevis, street vendors and artisans, all of which were either generated by an external eye (a Westerner) or by a local photographer? The resulting images were on high demand by market forces because they displayed cultural and religious authenticity fitting comfortably into the Orientalist configuration, from head to toe. I argue that this rather simplistic way of understanding needs to be reconciled with a less controversial narrative because it runs the risk of oversimplification of the complexities and nuances those images carry.
This paper starts by questioning the prejudices and gaps in current knowledge, offers a fresh look into the subject matter with the aim of offering a reassessment within the framework of mutual interactions between the Mevlevis and photography. More precisely, by connecting the issue to certain characteristics of the Mevlevi order, I will seek to explore the role of the dervishes in their visual representations as well as to scrutinize the multiple meanings of photography within the dervish communities.
Onur Öner received his PhD degree in History from Istanbul Şehir University in 2019. The title of the thesis is “A Collective Biography Study of Musicians from the Late Ottoman through the Early Republican Periods.” As a social historian, he has a keen interest in cultural studies.
Different forms of life narratives, Late Ottoman biographical accounts, and visual representations through photography, in particular, form the main areas of his academic interests. Dr. Onur Öner is an independent scholar and works as a content developer at TRT2. Among his recent publications are “Understanding social change: demographic analyses of musicians in late Ottoman Istanbul”, in Middle Eastern Studies (2021), DOI: 10.1080/00263206.2020.1858809, and “Music in Early Twentieth Century Istanbul: Reconsidering the Role of Private Music Schools”, in Archiv Orientalni, forthcoming in 89/1 (May 2021).

From the 10th century onward, Byzantine music teachers created and developed a music notation by using musical signs. Since the late 14th century it has also been used for the transcriptions of secular repertoire. The quantitative evidence is impressive: A total of 4,200 pages containing transcribed secular pieces bear witness to a total of approximately 1050 works recorded, within them Ottoman court music, Phanariot songs, Persian art music, as well as a few Greek folk songs. For the vast majority, these recordings are in the so-called Old Method, a kind of musical shorthand. With the introduction of the New Method, these works fell into disuse and obscurity for various reasons; so these musical signs of notation remained silent.
Kyriakos Kalaitzidis’s study “Post-Byzantine Music Manuscripts as a Source for Oriental Secular Music”, published by the Orient-Institut Istanbul, gave a new perspective to the study and performance of Oriental Secular Music, as preserved in the Post-Byzantine Music Manuscripts. The transcription into staff notation, the publication, and ultimately, the performance and recording of this largely unknown repertoire brings to life unknown aspects of this great shared Middle Eastern musical heritage both in terms of musical practice and in its deeper understanding.
Dr. Kyriakos Kalaitzidis is a scholar and active musician in the field of modal secular music of the post-Byzantine era and Mediterranean traditions. As a member of “En Chordais” or as soloist he has performed more than 2,000 concerts in 45 countries at major festivals and venues. He has given lectures and master classes at various universities in Europe, the Middle East, and the USA. Kyriakos’ discography includes recordings of local traditions, the presentation of unknown art music works, as well as his own compositions. His PhD “Post-Byzantine Music Manuscripts as a Source for Oriental Secular Music” was published by the Orient-Institut Istanbul.

Mapping Gender in the Near East
What’s New and What’s Ahead in Ottoman and Turkish Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
An international and interdisciplinary workshop
December 9-10, 2020
Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars in the humanities and social sciences, this workshop will establish, consolidate and sustain a network of academics who share an interest in women’s and gender studies with regard to the Ottoman world and modern Turkey. Leading scholars across several major fields – including history, literature, and interdisciplinary studies – will examine recent theoretical discourses and challenges in the area of women’s and gender studies and contribute to steering the field in innovative directions.
This workshop is designed to address two problems in women’s and gender studies: the lack of transnational and comparative scholarship, as well as the dearth of interdisciplinary collaboration. This workshop responds to the fact that the scholarly literatures in women’s and gender studies in the Ottoman-Turkish milieu and in the Arab and Balkan world have been, on the whole, kept tightly segregated from each other. Consequently, the four panels of the workshop are centered around key approaches that would benefit from being in dialogue. By doing so, they will allow leading scholars in the field to appraise the current state of research across national boundaries and academic disciplines and to bring forth new conversations and inter-regional dialogue about improving our approaches in the future development of the field. These interactions will help stimulate and guide future research efforts by delineating critical paths for subsequent research. The presentations will address key aspects such as:
-
The development of scholarship in women’s and gender studies over the past decade, and the future directions the field might take.
-
The comparative state of the field of women’s and gender studies in Turkey and its neighboring countries.
-
The evolving position of women and gender in the contemporary societies of the region.
-
Policy changes, both past and present, that have shaped the status quo of women and gender.
The conceptual framework of the event and its significance:
This workshop will be groundbreaking in allowing scholars working on women’s and gender studies in the Ottoman world and modern Turkey to come together to discuss the state of the field. Despite the fact that many talented scholars work on issues related to women’s studies, gender and sexuality across the former Ottoman provinces (primarily Lebanon, Egypt, and the Balkans) as well as modern Turkey, there has rarely been academic platforms enabling scholars to focus specifically on their shared area(s) of research. Resulting from a severe lack of communication among scholars working on these topics the field has therefore become compartmentalized and the current discourses remain fragmented. By convening a small-scale, highly focused event with internationally renowned speakers, this workshop seeks to bridge the communication gap and inspire new academic approaches among scholars of different nationalities and from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds. The event is framed around three main academic disciplines that have informed women’s and gender studies: the humanities, the social sciences, and law. By examining the most recent developments in the state of the field, each panel will contribute to a richer, more complex understanding of the field of women’s and gender studies in modern Turkey and its neighboring countries, while putting experts from each area into conversation with each other. In doing so, the workshop hopes to foster solidarities that connect common struggles beyond fixed geographic borders and academic disciplines.
Additionally, this workshop will provide a platform to discuss how to compensate for the lack of an institutional infrastructure for women’s and gender studies in and around Turkey. Currently, only few major universities have established separate women’s and gender studies departments to facilitate research in this field. Instead of inaugurating a separate field of study, numerous universities have opened up centers for women’s studies by offering certificate programs for students in other academic disciplines. Women’s and gender history have only recently been recognized as a thematic subfield within history departments. Therefore, women’s and gender studies frequently lack the institutional support to tackle large-scale research questions. Hence, the workshop will conclude by discussing how to best use existing resources, such as collaboration among research centers, activist organizations, and other institutions more effectively as an attempt to facilitate future growth and forms of cooperation in the field of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies.
Four roundtable panels:
-
Mapping the Field: Literary Approaches to Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in Turkey and the Near East.
-
Mapping the Field: Historicizing Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in Turkey and the Near East.
-
Mapping the Field: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies on the Region.
-
New Directions: The Academy, Solidarity, and Public Outreach.

Every year, in July, thousands of Alevi pilgrims visit Tekke, a small town tucked away in lush agricultural lands about 130 kilometers inland from Antalya. The name of the village points to its major raison d’être, namely the presence of a tekke: that is, a lodge complex that includes the shrine of a Sufi saint. This shrine-village is dedicated to the fourteenth-century pir, or spiritual leader, Abdal Musa. In this presentation, Christiane Gruber will examine the shrine complex of Abdal Musa in a holistic manner, taking into account the architectonic spaces at the site, the icons that appear within the saint’s tomb, and the votive practices occurring, above all, at the trees and rocks located in the sacred complex. Along with a formal and visual analysis of buildings, images, and objects, information gleaned from textual sources as well as ethnographic research allow for a textured approach to the subject at hand. This interdisciplinary methodology is finessed through some insights drawn from eco-critical theory in order to shed new light on Alevi pilgrims’ interactions with nature, hence recentering the earthly environment within a larger Muslim religious landscape of belief and practice.
Christiane Gruber is Chair and Professor of Islamic art in the History of Art Department at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her scholarly work explores figural representation, depictions of the Prophet Muhammad, and ascension texts and images in Islamic traditions, about which she has written three books and edited half a dozen volumes. She also pursues research in Islamic book arts, codicology, and paleography as well as modern and contemporary visual and material culture. Her most recent publications include her single authored book The Praiseworthy One: The Prophet Muhammad in Islamic Texts and Images and her edited volume The Image Debate: Figural Representation in Islam and Across the World, both published in 2019.

Khanly in word, sultanic in image: exchanges between 16th-century Transoxiana and Anatolia evidenced in the Shībānī-nāma of Muhammad Sālih
The focus of the lecture is on a singular copy of the Shībānī-nāma manuscript located in Vienna. It was composed in Turkish by the poet Muhammad Sālih when he served the Abū’l-Khairid Shībānids (Uzbeks) after the troops of Muhammad Shībānī Khan took over Transoxiana (Central Asia) in 1500. Completed in autumn 1510, the manuscript’s text praises Shībānī as a dynastic founder and extols his victories and conquests. But the leader was killed a few months later and the work remained unfinished. At a later point it left the region, with its transit evidenced by completed illustrations. Accepted to be products of the Ottoman sphere based on parallels to other illustrated historical works from the Istanbul workshops, their provenance provide insight into political and artistic exchanges between Ottomans and Uzbeks that are not fully known but which can be gleaned from the materiality of this very manuscript. It seems plausible that they were added during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent based on his correspondence and rapport with contemporary Abū’l-Khairid rulers in Bukhara and Samarqand, but the intended recipient and rationale for the finished product remain elusive.
Jaimee Comstock-Skipp holds a BA from the University of California, Berkeley in Near Eastern Studies with a speciality in Arabic and Islamic civilizations (2009). She also holds an MA from the Williams College Graduate Program in the History of Art (2012) and a second MA from The Courtauld Institute of Art in London (2015), where she studied book arts of the Mongol through Safavid periods.
She is currently a PhD candidate affiliated with Leiden University working on a dissertation related to Abū’l-Khairid productions of Firdausī’s Shāhnāma and related epics from 16th to 17th-century Central Asia. She has received numerous research awards to fund her studies, and has several forthcoming publications on illustrated manuscripts from Central Asia and depictions of Central Asians by Safavid artists in the early modern period.

Although historiography in Middle Eastern women’s history has developed rapidly in the last decades, scholarship on the comparative history of feminism in the Middle East has been severely limited. Just as important, there is a century-long lacuna in the history of the women’s movements in Turkey, with relatively few studies examining the period 1880-1980. Egypt and the Ottoman center (later Turkey) are well suited for a comparative examination of evolving feminist discourses, as their two centers of cultural production, Cairo and Istanbul, maintained a constant and mutual flow of local interaction during the late-nineteenth and the early-twentieth centuries.
This talk offers a comparative analysis of the patterns and distinct phases in which Egyptian and Turkish feminists engaged with both religious and secular reform traditions during this period. It argues that in societies with a strong heritage of secular liberal reform, wherein progressive tradition is engineered by intellectuals and cadres of officials, such as in the Ottoman center and in the Turkish Republic, feminism becomes a state-centric political project and an intellectual enterprise in which more conservative manifestations of feminism are side-lined for the sake of a swift rate of progress. It will be argued that in societies with a strong heritage of Islamically grounded modernization and social advances, such as in Egypt, on the other hand, feminism is rooted in, nourished by, and highly responsive to social, cultural, and religious norms, fostering social mobilization at a broader stratum, yet at a much slower, or more gradual, rate of progress.
Dr. Gülşah Torunoğlu is a research fellow at the Swedish Research Institute (SRII) and a visiting scholar at the Orient-Institut Istanbul, where she is revising her dissertation to publish as a monograph. She holds a PhD in History from Ohio State University (2019) specializing in comparative women’s history in the Middle East. Previously, she held visiting fellow positions at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the American University in Cairo, and at Princeton University. During the 2019-2020 academic year, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Koç University’s Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED). Over this past summer she also taught a course on “Women and Gender in Literature” at Koç University.
Based on two years of archival research in Turkey, Egypt, and the United Kingdom, Dr. Torunoğlu’s current book project, A Comparative History of Feminism in Egypt and Turkey, 1880-1935: Dialogue and Difference, establishes a dialogue between Turkish and Egyptian feminisms, compares nationalist versus Islamic trends among them, and takes stock of their interactions with and resistances to western feminisms. By bringing the evolution of the feminist discourse in Egypt and the Ottoman Empire into conversation with the secular and religious reform traditions in both countries in a comparative perspective, her work seeks to encourage a broader and more in-depth understanding of feminism in the Middle East, stripped from the dominant, nationalist narrative of its evolution.
Together with Prof. Hülya Adak (SU Gender) and Dr. Richard Wittmann (Orient-Institut Istanbul) Dr. Torunoğlu will be hosting a two-day online workshop next month titled “Mapping Gender in the Near East: What’s New and What’s Ahead in Ottoman and Turkish Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies” (December 9-10, 2020).

Harun Korkmaz (İstanbul Üniversitesi Türkiyat Araştırmaları Enstitüsü), Güfte Mecmualarının Osmanlı Tarihyazımına Katkısı
‘Güfte Mecmuası’ makam, usûl, beste türü, bestekâr ismi gibi atıflardan birini yahut birkaçını kullanmak suretiyle, mündericâtındaki şiirlerin bestelendiğini gösteren şahsî derlemelerdir. Güfte mecmuaları, mecmuayı toplayan kişinin, melodisini hafızasında sakladığı eserleri, yeri geldiği zaman ona başvurarak okumasını temin eder.
Güfte mecmualarının Osmanlı musiki tarihi bakımından en büyük önemi, meşk yöntemiyle üstaddan çırağa aktarılagelmiş ve 19. ile 20. yüzyıllarda notaya alınmış olan sözlü musiki eserlerinin, hangi bestekârlar tarafından bestelendiğini ortaya koymasıdır. Çoğunlukla bu bilgiler de eserle beraber aktarılsa da, kimi zaman karışıklıklar olmuş, eserlerin kimin bestesi olduğu hususunda yanlış bilgiler verilebilmiştir. Bu yanlışlıkları, çoğu kere, eserin bestelendiği devre ait diğer mecmualardaki bilgilerle mukayese ederek düzeltmek mümkündür.
Güfte mecmualarında, bugün bestesi kayıp olan binlerce eserin güftesiyle beraber, isimleri günümüzde tamamen unutulmuş olan yüzlerce bestekârın ismine rastlanabilir. Bu isimlerin incelemesi musiki tarihinin aydınlatılabilmesine hizmet eder. Güfte mecmuaları, arşiv belgeleri ve biyografi kaynaklarıyla birlikte okundukça, bestekâr hayatları hakkındaki araştırmalar yeni bir cephe kazanmaktadır. Mecmualardaki makam ve usûl isimleri, hangi devirde hangi makam ve usûllerin daha yaygın olduğunu gösterir. Güfte mecmuaları aynı zamanda Türk Edebiyatı tarihinin de vazgeçilmez kaynaklarındandır. İçerdikleri kimi güfteler, hiçbir divanda, şiir mecmuasında bulunmayabilir. Bilhassa şarkı türünde bestelenmiş eserlerin güfteleri çoğu zaman sadece bu mecmualardan elde edilebilir.
Harun Korkmaz 2011’de İstanbul Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Tarih Bölümü’nü bitirdi. 2014 yılında Osmanlı Müesseseleri ve Medeniyeti Tarihi Ana Bilim Dalı’nda Prof. Dr. Zeynep Tarım danışmanlığında yüksek lisansı tamamlayarak aynı ana bilim dalında doktoraya başladı. Güfte mecmuaları üzerine bir doktora tezi hazırlamaktadır. 2013 yılından beri İstanbul Üniversitesi Türkiyat Araştırmaları Enstitüsü’nde araştırma görevlisi olarak görev yapmaktadır. Türkiyat Araştırmaları Enstitüsü’nde bulunan, Hüseyin Sadeddin Arel’e ait arşivin tasnif ve kataloglama çalışmalarını nihayete erdirmiştir. Musiki tarihi sahasında Murat Bardakçı’dan istifade etmiş, Leonidas Asteris’ten şan, M. Doğan Dikmen’den Klasik Türk Musikisi repertuvarı dersleri almıştır. İstanbul Üniversitesi Kütüphanesi’ndeki Musiki Yazmalarının Kataloğu ve Mûsikînin Diyârbekri – Klasik Türk Musikisinde Diyarbekirli Bestekârlar isimli iki kitabı yayınlanmıştır.

Online Workshop
The Ingredients of Aşure
which will take place on 24 September 2020
17.00 – 19.30 (Istanbul time)
via Zoom
The workshop is part of a series of research meetings dedicated to Materialities of Everyday Religiosity, Past and Present. It aims to look closely at aşure, the sweet boiled grain soup, or pudding, which is ceremonially cooked and distributed in the month of Muharrem. The ingredients of aşure are amazingly numerous, and manifold and ambiguous religious connotations are connected to this dish, which seems to evade simple categorizations. It is both sweet and savoury; it is cooked, and distributed among neighbours, by religious and secular people of all kinds of urban and rural backgrounds. The variety of grains, pulses and dry fruit it is composed of are often commemorated as the food supplies on Noah’s ark; but this is only one of the numerous oral traditions related to the cooking of aşure. It is surprising that so far, neither anthropology of religion nor anthropology of food have thoroughly dealt with this ceremonial dish. We are therefore pleased that three experts on the topic have agreed to share and discuss a part of their work on the cultural history, ritual, and symbolism of aşure. Priscilla Mary Işın (Istanbul), an authority in the historical research of Ottman food and sweets will shed light on aşure in the 17th century according to Evliya Çelebi. Anthropologist Dr. Marie Hélène Sauner (Idemec Aix-Marseille/Galatasaray University Istanbul) will present from her research on oral tradition related to colours and textures of aşure. Prof. em. Frances Trix (Indiana University, Bloomington), drawing on many decades of her ethnographic fieldwork among Albanian Bektaşis, will share some of her memories of Bektaşi aşure ceremonies in Michigan. Anthropologist of religion Dr. Esther Voswinckel Filiz (Orient-Institut Istanbul) will shed light on the ritual importance of aşure cooking and distribution at some of Istanbul’s historical Sufi tekkes.
In order to register for the event and in order to receive the zoom admission code, please write an email to voswinckel@oiist.org no later than Tuesday, 22 September. |
Together with my colleagues in the research field History of Religions of Anatolia I am looking forward to welcoming you at our online event. Esther Voswinckel Filiz

Sounds are an essential medium of representation of power. Especially on the occasion of festive events they were effectively used in the form of music, noises and performative speech acts. However, this was not done in isolation from other media. Rule was to be experienced as all-encompassing, in order to amaze and awe the court, the subjects as well as competing and “friendly” courts, and to present the ruler’s government, person and environment as ideal instances of power.
The workshop “Sonic Rituals: Ottoman, Habsburg & Burgundian Festivities (15th – 17th Centuries) From an Intermedial Perspective”, which will be organized on 4th and 5th September 2020 by the SNF project “The Sound of Power: Sounding as Intermedial Category of 15th to 17th Century Court Festivity Rituals in an Intercultural Perspective” (University Bern) together with the Orient-Institut Istanbul, will focus specifically on the intermedial interplay of power and sound in rituals in the context of the Ottoman Sultans and the courts of Habsburg-Burgundy. Lecturers from Istanbul, Ankara, Bern, Dijon, Vienna and Boston will approach the topic from different disciplinary and time perspectives.
The workshop is organized as a video conference and thus offers the possibility to get into conversation with each other despite different locations. Interested persons who would like to join the workshop as listeners and discussants are welcome.

“Out with every theory of human behavior (…) who knows why people do what they do? The point is they do it, and we can track and measure it with unprecedented fidelity. With enough data, the numbers speak for themselves.” In a now (in)famous article, Chris Anderson, the editor-in-chief of Wired magazine, made a claim that the data aggregated by technology companies is rendering scientific methods obsolete. Anderson argued that there is no need for sampling-based methodologies in an age wherein everything is recorded and everything leaves a digital trace. Whilst Anderson’s claims about the end of scientific method are at best ludicrous, he is right in pointing out that the “data deluge” has destabilized the epistemological claims of social science. To put it in another way, how can social science remain relevant in the age of data science? One way would be by harnessing the potential offered by computational social science, the fusion social science rigour with computer science techniques.
Computational social science focuses on developing methodologies to collect and analyse large quantities of data gleaned from social media and the Internet. Although such methods are interdisciplinary and diverse, they all tend to share three common features: automated or semi-automated collection of datasets from digital environments, large datasets and the usage of a range of different techniques drawn from computer science to model or analyse the results. Using examples from ongoing or published research, this lecture introduces three different categories of data (semantic, sentiment and relational) available online, and showcases some of methodological approaches to analyse and model such datasets. In doing so, the talk invites participants to critically engage with both the challenges and opportunities of computational methodologies.

There has been widespread media coverage of what is often referred to as the “autism epidemic” around the world. Today autism remains a field of contention. This presentation builds on fieldwork conducted in Turkey to analyze the changing politics of childhood through a study of autism. Through observations and interviews with parents and professionals, I show that middle class parents have formed alliances with Western-educated experts to “disassemble” the autism spectrum and opt out of the world of autism altogether. I will discuss in detail the contestation over biomedical treatments, the changing nature of special education and “valorization of childhood” in an environment increasingly governed by the principles of neoliberalism. In doing so, the presentation intends to bring a relational understanding to how disease categories travel globally and how diseases are localized.

Gelişme ve kalkınma hedefleriyle uyumlaştırılan nükleer enerji üretimi, negatif dışsallıkları bağlamında tartışmalı bir konudur. Dünya genelinde Çernobil Nükleer Felaketi ve ondan 25 yıl sonra meydana gelen Fukuşima Nükleer Felaketi nedeniyle nükleer enerjiden çıkış eğilimi oluşmuşsa da başta Türkiye olmak üzere bazı ülkeler ilk defa nükleer santral sahibi olmayı planlamaktadır. Bu çalışmayla nükleer zincirin bir halkası olan nükleer enerjinin kapitalist sistemle tarihsel ilişkisi bağlamında göz ardı edilen ekolojik ve toplumsal sağlık riskleri, 2011 yılından bugüne devam etmekte olan Fukuşima Nükleer Felaketi’nin etkilerine dair saha araştırmalarından örneklerle açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır. Sunum kapsamında nükleer enerjinin içinde yer aldığı tüm bir nükleer zincirin kadınlar ve çocuklardan dezavantajlı gruplar üretmesi, sağlıklı yaşam hakkının engellenmesine yönelik yanlış bilginin dolaşıma sokulması, nükleer süreçlere dair bilgi edinmede şeffaflığın mümkün olmaması gibi soru ve sorunlar tartışılacak, nükleer enerji karbon salmayan bir enerji midir? İklim krizi koşullarında nükleer enerjiyle sağlıklı bir gelecek tahayyülü mümkün müdür? gibi sorulara da cevap aranacaktır.

Details
This talk will be about ongoing transformations in the sacred musical repertoires practiced by ḥazzanim (synagogue cantors) and their synagogue congregations in Istanbul’s contemporary Jewish community. Dr. Alpar argues that clergy and laypeople alike negotiate their religious identities as Turkish Jews in the musical choices they make. While many try to maintain the community’s local music tradition, rooted in makam—the Ottoman Turkish melodic system—others attempt to broaden their repertoire with musics from Israel, the United States, and Ḥabad Hasidic Judaism. He will examine adjustments made to the musical components of ritual as responses to decades of Jewish religious life as experienced under the authority of the secular Turkish state and to the resurgence of religious observance within certain segments of the Jewish community. Newly religious and spiritually searching Jews now have a conflicted relationship with their community’s historic, sacred musical practices, appreciating their cultural significance but questioning their relevance and efficacy. He asserts that ḥazzanim and community members articulate ambivalent and changing attitudes about their Jewish identities, memory, and the value of local tradition in their diverse approaches to making sacred music. Based on more than two years of ethnographic fieldwork in Istanbul’s Jewish community, Dr. Alpar’s talk investigates the tension between their loyalty to tradition and the freedom and fear of being liberated from it.
Dr. Joseph M. Alpar is a scholar, performer, and educator whose research centers on musical and religious practices in Turkey and former Ottoman territories. He is a visiting faculty member in ethnomusicology and music history at Bennington College for the 2019-2020 academic year. Alpar earned his Ph.D. in ethnomusicology from The Graduate Center, City University of New York in June 2019, having completed a dissertation titled, “Music and Jewish Practice in Contemporary Istanbul: Preserving Heritage, Bending Tradition.” His research has been supported by fellowships from The American Research Institute in Turkey (ARIT) and The Graduate Center, CUNY. Alpar is an accomplished vocalist and multi-instrumentalist of Turkish, Greek, and Sephardic music, playing santouri, piano, darbuka, and frame drums. He is the director of David’s Harp, an acclaimed Philadelphia-based music ensemble specializing in Sephardic Jewish music. He has taught previously in the music departments of Swarthmore College, Temple University, and CUNY, Hunter College.

Details
Tıbbın Epistemik Serüveni: Bir Biyopolitik Fenomenoloji Denemesi (Özen B. Demir): Tıbbın, bütün “insancıl” ve inter-disipliner vurgulara inat, bir tür kendiliğinden ideoloji şeklinde varlığını sürdüren fizikalizmi, mekanik ve şabloncu paradigması esasında bir tür “ucube fabrikası” olarak çalışır. Tıbbın hegemonik bilim rejimi bünyesindeki tevellüdü modernite öncesine, antikiteye dek uzatılabilir. Bu koordinattaki elzem kavram ise “isonomia”dır. İsonomia ideali, bir bakıma fizyokratik bir rejim olarak, homeostatik [denge kurucu] şiddeti zorunlu kılar ve onu meşruiyet zeminine taşıyarak “ihlâl”in edimselliğini bertaraf eder. Homeostatik manevralar, Hippokrates tıbbında evvelâ “rejim”in optimize edilmesi aracılığıyla sağlanıyordu; rejim, Foucaultcu bir okumayla, yapısal şiddetin devreye girdiği uzama tekabül ediyordu. Günümüzde ise yeni suretlerde, sımsıkı kamufle edilmiş rafine yordamlarla hükmünü icra eder. “Terapi” söyleminin isonomist ve işlevselci muğlâklığında yaşayıp gider. Bir dispozitif olarak işleme sokulur ve o arada piyasa dinamikleriyle de iç içe girer. Dahası, aynı kavramın, günümüze uzanan bir tür epistemolojik sürekliliği barındırdığı da vâkidir. Bu da kendisini baştanbaşa bir risk [yönetimi] anlatısıyla çerçevelenmiş çağdaş somatik ve kronik-dejeneratif hastalıklara ilişkin medikal dağarda açığa vurmaktadır. Yapılması gereken, söz konusu riskli öznelliklerin “biyopolitik fenomenolojisi”ne soyunmaktır.

‘Beni Robot Ameliyat Etsin İstiyorum’: Cerrah, Teknoloji ve Hasta (Gülşah Başkavak): Cerrahın elleri mi yoksa da Vinci robotunun kolları mı? Hastaların ameliyat tercihlerinin de olabileceği 2000’lerden önce düşünülemezdi. Cerrahide yoğun teknoloji kullanımının hastalarca kabul gördüğü ve oldukça talep edildiği gözleminden hareketle, teknolojinin sağlık alanında tüketim kültürünün yaygınlaşmasında rol oynadığı öne sürülebilir. Özellikle, üroloji, genel cerrahi ve kadın hastalıkları ve doğum gibi bazı cerrahi branşlarda hem laparoskopik (kapalı) ameliyat tekniklerinin hem de robotik cerrahinin kullanımı oldukça yaygınlaşmıştır. Hastalar özellikle robotik cerrahiye büyük ilgi göstermektedirler. Hastaların teknolojiye yaklaşım ve talebinin, hasta-cerrah ilişkisinde hastalar lehine bir güçlenme anlamına gelip gelmediği, cerrahların otorite ve otonomisinde bir zayıflamaya yol açıp açmadığı gibi sorular bu bağlamda öne çıkmaktadır. Bu konuşmadaki amacım, söz konusu dönüşümlerin cerrahide yoğun teknoloji kullanımı ve teknoloji talebine yansımasını ve dolayısıyla cerrah-hasta ilişkisinin nasıl etkilediğini, cerrahlık mesleğinin dönüşümüne dair gerçekleştirdiğim niteliksel bir saha araştırmasının bulguları ve uzun saatler süren ameliyathane gözlemleri üzerinden paylaşmaktır.

Details
During this encounter, we will hear about the research-practice of Bodiless Heads that Shahrzad Irannejad and Setareh Fatehi developed in 2017, which continues to inspire their current individual works and research. Bodiless Heads is a research on traditions of [non-]depictions of the body in the Islamicate world; it is a metaphor, a hypothesis, an imaginary state that relates to the evasive, multi-layered cultures of courtesy evolved over time, particularly where Sharzad and Setareh come from. In 4 chapters, they have looked at the impact of that certain [non-]visualization of body-image on the development of a non-Eurocentric concept of the Body and its relation to Health, Performativity, Mobility, and Knowledge Transfer. Their research around the idea of Bodilessness and the borders of body perception extended to further questions around body-time-image and formed the basis of Setareh’s practice of online dancing that underlies her current research swim\او. In this research, she explores, among other issues, such themes as ethics of virtual presence, enhancement, and geopolitics. Our encounter in this episode of the lecture series “Human, Medicine and Society” will explore the history of their dialogue, its current state and its possible implications.
Shahrzad Irannejad is a researcher in history of humoral medicine in the Islamicate world. Her research follows two broad paths: first, humoral medicine in Iran in relation to its cultural context; and second, the history of humoral medicine in the Islamicate world in relation to its Hellenic roots. She is currently working on her PhD thesis entitled “Localization of the Avicennean inner senses in a Hippocratic body”, in which she deals with the Hellenic ideas regarding mental faculties and their embodiment, which were transferred to the medieval Islamicate world as manifested in the works of Avicenna. Her current research on the concepts of the Inner Senses is partly fueled by her fascination with the mind-body problem.
Setareh Fatehi is a choreographer based in Tehran and Amsterdam. Her research-based practice encompasses lenses, bodies, wifi connections, screens and projections. She is embracing the medium of live video as a part of her presence. In her work she addresses the fluidity of the definition of her body and opens up the space for acknowledging the effect that other forms of presence (their gaze and their thoughts) could have on the ways she engages with her own body.

According to global data, intimate partner violence and its corresponding impact threaten the lives of almost 35% of women at some point in their life. The aim of this research was to explore the effects of intimate partner sexual violence on women’s sense of self-efficacy. The participants, 10 women with experiences of intimate partner sexual violence participated in in-depth interview and a thematic analysis method has employed to analyse the data. Two main themes were drawn from the data, including Exposure and Empowerment. Exposure refers to the type of violence and its effects; and Empowerment refers to factors women considered as giving them the courage to seek help from others. It is concluded that Iranian women are not passive when exposed to intimate partner sexual violence, and social support, mainly from family and friends, was a pathway to feelings of empowerment; without this support, women’s emotional health is put in jeopardy.
Dr. Azam Naghavi is assistant professor in the Faculty of Education and Psychology at the University of Isfahan, Iran. She has studied PhD at Monash University, Australia and during her PhD she has worked about mental health issues of Iranian immigrant women in Australia. Since 2014 she is focusing on empowerment concept among people with disability, immigrants and women. Moreover, empowering factors after traumatic events and post-traumatic growth are two main topics she is working on at the moment. She has been involved in two DAAD projects and in one Erasmus program in the last two years.

Mashrutiyyat and Modernity. A Historiographical Predicament: The constitutional revolutions in the Ottoman Empire and in Iran at the beginning of the 20th century have each for itself received considerable academic attention. In 2011 Nader Sohrabi has published a study that took things to a new level by a comparative perspective on the two revolutions and a view to their global context (Revolution and Constitutionalism in the Ottoman Empire and Iran). In the same year Thomas Bauer has published his much-lauded work on Islam as a culture of ambiguity (The Culture of Ambiguity – An Alternative History of Islam / original title: Die Kultur der Ambiguität. Eine andere Geschichte des Islams).
Both books offer partly complementary and partly conflicting perspectives on modernity. The paper will confront these two perspectives in a critical reading and explore the meta-historical environment in which academic texts offering explanations of modernity are bound to operate.

Ancient DNA (Füsun Özer): Ancient DNA (aDNA) research focuses on the analyses of degraded DNA fragments extracted from archaeological remains such as bones, teeth and hair. These DNA molecules are sequenced to obtain individuals’ genomes, which are analysed for inferring kinship, demographic history, biological adaptations, and genetic diseases. The earliest aDNA studies mostly focused on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mainly due to technical limitations. However, mtDNA only provides information about the maternal history. Another drawback has been the risk of contamination which prevents distinguishing whether molecules derived from an archaeological sample are authentic or contamination from modern DNA. Recent developments in laboratory protocols and advanced computational approaches have accelerated aDNA studies by the beginning of 2010s. Although, aDNA is very promising in understanding history of human, past populations and human genome evolution, it may pose unintentional ethical issues. This presentation will provide an insight into the history of ancient DNA technology, ethics and future promises.
Füsun Özer is an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at Hacettepe University. She received her Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Illinois, at Chicago in 2010. After completion of her degree, she started working as a lecturer in METU-Northern Cyprus Campus. In 2011, she joined the Department of Biology in METU, Ankara as a research scientist where she spearheaded the establishment of the first dedicated ancient DNA laboratory in Turkey. Dr Özer recently joined the Department of Anthropology at Hacettepe University where she also established the Hacettepe University Molecular Anthropology and Genomics Laboratory for ancient DNA studies.
Opportunities for STS: Translating Responsible Personalized Medicine (Robin Ann Downey): In this presentation, I explore how Science and Technology Studies (STS) researchers can make contributions to personalized medicine developments. Medical research and genomics have deep-rooted associations with ethical issues related to consent and privacy. In the early period of the Human Genome Project, studies focused on ethical, legal and social issues (ELSI) were funded alongside discovery science. Later on, experiments in integrated research created opportunities for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary efforts. In addition to a range of other experts, STS researchers contributed to this work. As the promise of personalized medicine was touted, funders turned towards so-called translational efforts, which prioritize commercial and practical applications. Responsible Innovation (RI) offers another funding opportunity for STS contributions and it is also aligned with practical dimensions. RI efforts in personalized medicine may include collaborating with relevant stakeholders on projects related to the collection and management of big data, including users in design considerations, integrating privacy by design measures, incorporating qualitative information such as patient narratives in personalized medicine tools and creating opportunities for flexible decision making.
Robin Downey is a Science Technology and Society Lecturer in the Faculty of Engineering at Bilkent University. Her work has mainly focused on technological controversies, including a cross-cultural analysis of media representations of cloning and an examination of how stakeholders helped to shape stem cell research developments in Canada. She was the Genomics and Society Advisor for Genome BC where she helped to build interdisciplinary research teams. In this context, she contributed to work on integrated research and developed an interest in personalized medicine. Responsible Innovation is her current research interest.

In his lecture at the Orient-Institut Istanbul on 18 December 2019, Prof. Dr. Oliver Bendel from Zurich, Switzerland is going to deal with care robots as well as therapy and surgery robots. He will present well-known and less known examples and clarify the goals, tasks and characteristics of these service robots in the healthcare sector. Afterwards he will investigate current and future functions of care robots, including sexual assistance functions. Against this background, the lecture is going to consider both the perspective of information ethics and machine ethics. In the end, it should become clear which robot types and prototypes or products are available in healthcare, which purposes they fulfill, which functions they assume, how the healthcare system changes through their use and which implications and consequences this has for the individual and society.
Prof. Dr. Oliver Bendel was born in 1968 in Ulm. He studied philosophy as well as information science at the University of Constance and wrote his doctoral thesis at the University of St. Gallen about anthropomorphic software agents. Bendel has been researching information ethics and machine ethics for years. He works as a professor at the School of Business (University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland) in Basel, Olten and Brugg-Windisch. Since 1998 he has published over 300 articles, book chapters and books. In 2019, Bendel founded the platform robophilosophy.com in order to gain more attention for the research field of robot philosophy.

Learning and Innovation Skills for the Future (Diler Öner): The purpose of this talk is to examine the educational outcomes we should be focusing on for the future. Drawing the parallels between industrial revolutions and education in history, I will discuss the potential transformations in education in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. I will draw attention to the importance of developing the 4Cs (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity) for a healthy society in the future.
Diler Öner is the director of the Center for Educational Technology Research and Implementation and an associate professor at the Department of Computer Education and Educational Technology at Boğaziçi University in Istanbul. She received her MSc and PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Curriculum and Instruction. Her research focuses on designing, developing and implementing computer-based tools to support higher level thinking skills (both for students and teachers).
Maker & Social Innovation (Zeynep Karagöz): Robotel Türkiye is a nonprofit organization of volunteers and makers that provides custom made 3D printed mechanical hands to citizens who need a finger or a hand prosthetic device – especially children – for free. The main target group of Robotel Türkiye is children with finger or hand deformation. Most cases have limb developmental disorder due to Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS). The purpose of the 3D hand is both to make their lives easier and also to make them feel special. In addition to organizing volunteers and helping cases, we collaborate with corporations and other civil organizations. Aiming to expand the project by sharing, touching as many lives and hearts as possible. In this lecture, I will show, how Robotel Türkiye maker could be understood as driver for social innovations. Hence, by pointing to the interdependence of Technology and Society, I would like to discuss that enabling technologies like 3D printers combined with notions of do-it-yourself and maker might contribute to a “healthy society”.
Graduated from MSÜ – Architecture; Zeynep Karagöz co-founded KOMA Architecture in 2001. In 2008 KOMA merged with 5 dakika and gave experience design services. With Robotel Türkiye, she started making 3D printed mechanical hands for children with hand deformation who don’t have access to prosthetics. The team became a part of the Maker Community in 2014. In 2017, Robotel became an NGO. Karagöz leads the project as the head of the organization and defines herself as a PRO-MAKER. She makes programs on 21.Century & technology skills with Maker Çocuk & Maker Atölye. She designs collaborative multidimensional & multidisciplinary projects. She also shares her expertise as a speaker, trainer & mentor.
