Sick and Elderly Political Prisoners in Erdogan's Turkey
The jails in Turkey have long been mentioned in the same breath as inhumane actions and the breach of even the most basic rights, especially against the political prisoners. The violations have reached to unprecedented levels in parallel with the emergence of the current political-Islamist authoritarianism. The oppressive regime under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s rule instrumentalized the country’s legal system to muzzle the political dissidence, turning the prisons into concentration camps. The number of inmates behind the bars has reached historic highs. Hosting convicts much more than their capacities, the prisons, which were already substantially subpar, have fallen way below the minimum acceptable standards for human dignity. Patients in particular bore the most of the brunt of this precipitated deterioration of the prison conditions and the wrath of the Turkish regime against its opponents.
Alevi Identity
In the rising momentum for new and reformulated cultural identities, the Turkish Alevi have also emerged on the scene, demanding due recognition. In this process a number of dramatic events have served as important milestones: the clashes between Sunni and Alevi in Kahramanmaras in 1979 and Corum in 1980, the incendiarism in Sivas in 1992, and the riots in Istanbul (Gaziosmanpasa) in 1995. Less evocative, but in the long run more significant, has been the rising interest in Alevi folklore and religious practices. Questions have also arisen as to what this branch of Islamic heterodoxy represents in terms of old and new identities. In this book, these questions are addressed by some of the most prominent scholars in the field.
Grenzen überschreitende Derwische
Das Osmanische Reich war über sein gesamtes Bestehen hinweg von kultureller Vielfalt geprägt, in der die verschiedenen Kulturen in wechselseitigem Austausch standen. Im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde die kulturelle Diversität im Osmanischen Reich um eine weitere Facette ergänzt, als Verflechtungen mit ›westlichen‹ Staaten zunahmen und in weitere Kulturbeziehungen mündeten. Die vorliegende Studie beleuchtet anhand der Derwische des Bektaschi-Ordens zwischenkulturelle Beziehungen innerhalb wie außerhalb der Grenzen des Osmanischen Reiches. Der ›mystische‹ Derwischorden der Bektaschis zählte zu den einflussreichen religiösen Kulturen im Osmanischen Reich, hob sich aber zugleic...
Strolling Through Istanbul
First published in 2005. Long acknowledged to be the 'best travel guide to Istanbul' (Times of London) this classic of travel literature is now available in a larger format in hardback binding. The work is both a useful and informative guide to the city with major useful monuments described in detail in terms of the history and architecture. Although the main emphasis of the book is on the Byzantine and Ottoman Antiquities, the city is not treated as a museum in the context of a living city. Itineraries are arranged so that each one takes the visitor to a different part of Istanbul.
Osmanlı Tarihinin Maddesi
Dr. Hikmet Kıvılcımlı’nın siyasal kimliği, kuramsal ve yöntemsel pozisyonu nedeniyle (Ümit Hassan bir istisna) gerek Batı’dan, gerekse de Türkiye’den Osmanlı tarihçileri tarafından göz ardı edilen ya da görmezden gelinen Osmanlı Tarihinin Maddesi, tarihe yaklaşımı, olguları ele alış biçimi, yöntemi ve ruhuyla öncü bir yapıttır. Eser, aynı zamanda Türkiye’de sosyalist düşüncenin özgün yapıtlarından biridir. Engin bilgi birikimi, sıra dışı gözlem yeteneği ve kendine özgü üslubuyla modern Türkiye’den Osmanlı tarihine bakan Dr. Hikmet Kıvılcımlı, “gırtlağımıza dek Osmanlı tarihinin maddesi ve ruhu içindeyiz” der. Bu nedenle...
