Exploring Turkish Cultures
This groundbreaking series of essays offers new insights into Turkish cultures both past and present. Moving beyond the traditional binaries of east/west, Islam/secularism, and Europe/Asia, the book contains a variety of perspectives on contemporary Turkey, from actors, directors, critics and other major cultural figures. The book tries to situate these opinions in context by looking at how such perspectives are employed in different cultural spheres—education, theatre, politics and the like. Exploring Turkish Cultures contains the first major interviews published in English with prominent public figures, including actors Türkân Şoray, Genco Erkal and Nesrin Kazankaya. Other figures int...
The Cultural Politics of Europe
Culture is one of the most complex and contested fields of European integration. This book analyzes EU cultural politics since their emergence in the 1980s with a particular focus on the European Capital of Culture program, the flagship of EU cultural policy. It discusses both the central as well as local levels and contextualizes EU policies with programmes of other European organisations, such as the Council of Europe. By asking what "Europe" actually means for European cultural policy, the book goes beyond the confines of official organizations and the political sphere, to discuss the contribution, impact and appropriation among a more diverse group of actors and participants, such as tra...
United States Cultural Diplomacy and Archaeology
Archaeology's links to international relations are well known: launching and sustaining international expeditions requires the honed diplomatic skills of ambassadors. U.S. foreign policy depends on archaeologists to foster mutual understanding, mend fences, and build bridges. This book explores how international partnerships inherent in archaeological legal instruments and policies, especially involvement with major U.S. museums, contribute to the underlying principles of U.S. cultural diplomacy. Drawing from analyses and discussion of several U.S. governmental agencies' treatment of international cultural heritage and its funding, the history of diplomacy-entangled research centers abroad, and the necessity of archaeologists' involvement in diplomatic processes, this seminal work has implications for the fields of cultural heritage, anthropology, archaeology, museum studies, international relations, law, and policy studies.
Revitalizing City Districts
This book explores the consequences of change in the urban form, the amalgam of the urban space and buildings and on the processes leading to planning and design. Urban form and its fabric result from a multitude of individual interests, ideas and decisions which in turn result in specific and locally diverse spatial arrangements. These processes which are shaping our built environment are embedded in and determined by different contexts of political, cultural and social-economic norms and values. Urban development and the transformation of urban structures are triggered by technological innovations, laws and taxes, new behaviors or the impact of environmental conditions as well as other factors. Based on case studies from Egypt and the Middle East, together with some cases from Germany and Turkey, this book covers a wide range of change processes focused on historic and inner city districts.
Ak Parti ve Türkiye'nin Dönüşümü - Cilt 2
• AK Parti 2023 seçimlerine yirmi bir yıldır iktidarda olan bir parti olarak katılıyor. Türkiye siyasetinin demokratik döneminde bu kadar uzun süre kesintisiz iktidarda kalan bir başka parti yok. Dünya siyaseti açısından bakıldığında ise ülkelerin demokratik yaşamında aynı liderle ve yüksek oy oranları ile iktidarda kalan ve tek başına iktidarını sürdüren parti yok denecek kadar az. Bu açılardan değerlendirildiğinde AK Parti hem Türkiye hem de dünya siyasetinde istisnai özellikleri ile öne çıkmaktadır. Genel, yerel ve cumhurbaşkanı seçimleri ve referandumlarla birlikte on beş seçimi arka arkaya kazanan bir parti, aynı zamanda en yakın rakibi i...
II. Abdülhamid: Sanatkar ve Sanat Hamisi Bir Sultan
Sultan II. Abdülhamid, yakın dönem Türk tarihinin en tartışmalı siyasî figürlerinden birisi olarak temayüz etmiş, 33 yıllık saltanatı bir kutuplaşmalar kalabalığının bugüne dek etkisini sürdüren ana başlıklarını belirleyecek kadar aktüel bir meseleye dönmüştür. Ayşe Ersay Yüksel’in elinizde tuttuğunuz çalışmasıysa bu konuların uzağında, suhuletle ele aldığı bambaşka bir başlığın altını bilimsel ölçülerle doldurma gayretinin ürünü olarak ortaya konulan ve Abdülhamid’i tartışılageldiği bilindik çerçevenin dışında, Türk sanat tarihinin öznesine dönüştüren özgün bir eserdir. Kitapta Abdülhamid, çağdaş dekorasyon i...
Struggle and Survival under Authoritarianism in Turkey
After the Justice and Development Party (AKP) came to power in Turkey in 2002, the AKP grew into an authoritarian government as it politically and culturally oppressed citizens and institutions. In Struggle and Survival under Authoritarianism in Turkey: Theatre under Threat, Burcu Yasemin Şeybenargues thattheatre was deliberately targeted because theatre institutions and companies embodied the cultural program of the statist and Kemalist cultural policy that has continually excluded Muslims and various religious and ethnic minorities. Although the AKP claimed to be replacing the top-down, discriminatory, and secular statist and Kemalist theatre system with a facilitative and inclusive one, the AKP gradually adapted a more authoritarian system, as evidenced by their efforts to close and defund theatres, ban plays, and force theatre artists to exile. Despite the AKP’s increasing oppression, Şeybenstudies contemporary Turkish theatre to establish that a few theatre institutions, companies, and artists have managed to survive and develop democratic cultural policies and strategies that will outlive the AKP government.
