“Bir çoklu koro, bir zengin orkestra gibidir bu kitaptan taşanlar. Taşan bir kitap bu. Katlanan, kanatlanan, aşkın, delişmen, yoğun, parçalı, tekrarlı, şiddetli, pervasız, iştahlı bir kitap. Kışkırtıcı, denetimsiz, cesur, dobra, kalabalık, gürültücü, arzulu bir dil bu. Esinleyici, bulaşıcı, aşırı, riskli, ironik, kara bir söylem. Samimiyetin, cüretin, şefkatin, itirazın, isyanın kitabı bu. Bizden alıp bize veriyor büyüttüğünü de öldürdüğünü de, düşündüğünü ve düşlediğini de, âşık olup yenildiğini de, karşı çıktığını da, aldandığını ve aldattığını da. Bu dünyadan ben geçtim, ben bu dünyadan böyle geçtim demenin kitabı bu. Bir lades kemiği gibi kırılmanın, tüm iktidarlara kafa tutmanın kitabı bu. Sözcüklerin arzulu ve şiddetli ve kanlı bir dansa kalktığı bir kitap bu.” Gonca Özmen #burçlar #ikizler #balık #isyan #yeraltı #uyumsuzluk #acı #başkaldırı #anarşi #aşk #yoldançıkma
The Iranian Expanse explores how kings in Persia and the ancient Iranian world utilized the built and natural environment to form and contest Iranian cultural memory, royal identity, and sacred cosmologies. Investigating over a thousand years of history, from the Achaemenid period to the arrival of Islam, The Iranian Expanse argues that Iranian identities were built and shaped not by royal discourse alone, but by strategic changes to Western Asia’s cities, sanctuaries, palaces, and landscapes. The Iranian Expanse critically examines the construction of a new Iranian royal identity and empire, which subsumed and subordinated all previous traditions, including those of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Anatolia. It then delves into the startling innovations that emerged after Alexander under the Seleucids, Arsacids, Kushans, Sasanians, and the Perso-Macedonian dynasties of Anatolia and the Caucasus, a previously understudied and misunderstood period. Matthew P. Canepa elucidates the many ruptures and renovations that produced a new royal culture that deeply influenced not only early Islam, but also the wider Persianate world of the Il-Khans, Safavids, Timurids, Ottomans, and Mughals.

What do Turkey and India have in common? Burcu Çevik-Compiègne brings sources from two apparently separate contexts into conversation to offer fresh insights into the Great War and its ongoing legacy, highlighting the perspectives of people in two post-imperial nation states. She uses public discourses, literature, oral histories, memorials and other material as entry points into histories of writing, overwriting and erasing the shadows of an imperial war. The connections and parallels between Turkey and India are traced in the narratives of self and the nation from the war to the present and across the globe, all the way to contemporary Australia.
