Turkish Literature and Cultural Memory
"Result of an international workshop held as part of the University of Giessen's Collaborative Research Center 'Memory Cultures'"--Pref.
The Sons of Bayezid
The Civil War of 1402-1413 is one of the most complicated periods in Ottoman history. This book is the first full-length study of that chapter in history, which began with Timur's dismemberment of the early Ottoman Empire following his defeat of Bayezid 'the Thunderbolt' at Ankara (1402). This book is a detailed reconstruction of events based on available sources, as well as a study of the period's political culture as reflected in its historical narratives.
Turkey, the Jews, and the Holocaust
This book analyses the minority politics of the Turkish republic and the country's ambivalent policies regarding Jewish refugees and Turkish Jews living abroad.
Deutsch-Türkische Zweisprachigkeit mit besonderem Fokus auf Jugendliche
Die Untersuchungen, die in diesem Sammelband in deutscher und englischer Sprache präsentiert werden, tragen zur Beantwortung der Frage bei, inwieweit das Türkische in Deutschland weiterhin als eine 'sehr lebendige Sprache' betrachtet werden kann und welchen Besonderheiten die zweisprachigen Erwerbsprozesse unterliegen. Die Ergebnisse sind als Teile eines großen Puzzles zu betrachten, die einzelne Erwerbsbereiche (wie z.B. die Morphologie) sowie den Gebrauch des Türkischen - insbesondere durch Jugendliche - umfassen. Die Studien tragen zu der Erkenntnis bei, dass die deutsch-türkische Zweisprachigkeit im Mehrsprachigkeitskontext seine Besonderheiten hat, die nicht an einer monolingualen ...
Psychotropic Agents
The volumes on "psychotropic substances" in the Handbook of Experimental Phar macology series clearly show that the classical concept of this discipline has become too narrow in recent years. For instance, what substances are psychotropic is determined not by the criteria of the animal trial, i.e. by experimental pharmacology, but by their action on the psy che, which in the final analysis is only accessible to us in man. Psychotropic substances force experimental pharmacology (and thus also this Handbook) outside its tradition allimits, which have essentially depended on animal studies. The antipsychotics and antidepressants were not discovered in animal ex periments, but by chance (or more...
Young Turk
"Through a series of thirteen interwoven tales, Moris Farhi tells the story of a group of young friends coming of age in Turkey, a nation as vivid and beautiful as it is complex. A window onto a pluralistic world where Islam, Christianity, and Judaism coexist and Turks, Armenians, Kurds, and Greeks live side by side, Young Turk is peopled by a rich an eclectic mix of circus performers, schoolchildren, wandering poets, and renegade teachers. An alluring woman introduces a string of teenage boys to the carnal applications of rose-petal jam - and to the sting of first heartbreak. A lovelorn, wandering trapeze artist must exorcize the ghost of a past calamity in order to retain his spot high up in the big tent. A childhood comes to an abrupt end when a boy is inspected for signs of encroaching manhood and summarily denied his tantalizing weekly visits to the women's baths. A young girl endowed with clairvoyance struggles under the weight of the calamities she foresees." "Set in the years surrounding World War II, Young Turk juxtaposes the lives and passions of its unforgettable characters with the tumult of Turkish history."--BOOK JACKET.
Populism and Heritage in Europe
Populism and Heritage in Europe explores popular discourses about European and national heritage that are being used by specific political actors to advance their agendas and to prevent minority groups from being accepted into European society. Investigating what kind of effect the politics of fear has on these notions of heritage and identity, the book also examines what kind of impact recent events and crises have had on the types of European memories and identities that have been promoted by the supporters of right-wing populist parties. Based on qualitative fieldwork conducted in six countries, this book specifically analyses how anti-European identities are being articulated by right-wi...
