Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean
The Islamic world's artistic traditions experienced profound transformation in the 19th century as rapidly developing technologies and globalizing markets ushered in drastic changes in technique, style, and content. Despite the importance and ingenuity of these developments, the 19th century remains a gap in the history of Islamic art. To fill this opening in art historical scholarship, Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean charts transformations in image-making, architecture, and craft production in the Islamic world from Fez to Istanbul. Contributors focus on the shifting methods of production, reproduction, circulation, and exchange artists faced as they worked in fields such as photography, weaving, design, metalwork, ceramics, and even transportation. Covering a range of media and a wide geographical spread, Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean reveals how 19th-century artists in the Middle East and North Africa reckoned with new tools, materials, and tastes from local perspectives.
ELBİSE-İ ATÎKA
Yayına hazırladığımız eser, İtalyan ressam Jean Brindesi’nin çizdiği ve 1885 yılında Paris’te yayınlanan “Elbicei atika: Musée des anciens costumes turcs de Constantinople” isimli 22 resimden oluşan bir albümdür. Brindesi’nin İstanbul’da çizmiş olduğu bu resimler, Fransa’nın meşhur yayınevi Lemercier tarafından taş baskı olarak iki kısım olarak yayınlanmıştır. İlk kısım, yukarıda zikrettiğimiz veçhile Osmanlı saray vazifelilerini, padişahtan saray müezzinine kadar gösteren “Elbicei atika: Musée des anciens costumes turcs de Constantinople” isimli albümdür. Biz bu albümleri yayınlarken sadece görsellerle yetinmeyerek aynı zamanda resimde çizilen zatlar hakkında da kâfi miktarda bilgi vermeyi de münasip bulduk. İkinci kısım ise “Souvenir de Constantinople” ismindeki İstanbul’un muhtelif yerlerini ve halkını gösteren albümdür.

Women's Costume of the Near and Middle East
The historical and cultural richness of the Near and Middle East is reflected visually in its costume. In this book, Jennifer Scarce makes brilliant use of years or research to provide a lucid acount of the development of women's dress from the fourteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Her study of costume is set in th ebroader context of the social and economic background of the Ottoman Empire, giving the subject a new an fascinating slant. A detailed discussion of cut and construction is accompanied by pattern layouts and numerous photographs which clearly illustrate the different styles of dress through the centuries. Women's costume of the Near and Middle East is a hitherto sadly neglected subject. After years of original research across the world, this gap has been admirably filled by Jennifer Scarce's scholarly readable study.
Private and Royal Life in the Ottoman Palace
Topkapi Palace was the official and primary residence of the Ottoman sultans for almost four centuries of their 624-year reign. This illustrated guide to Topkapi Palace (the heart of a vast transcontinental empire until the mid-nineteenth century) explores Ottoman history, as it relates to specific sections of the palace. Ortayli, a famed Turkish historian and scholar, introduces the audience to the outer and inner sections of the palace as well as the family quarters, providing them with profound background information about their functions, architecture and decorations. His references to the palace customs, people, and particular events present the reader with a living history.
Culture and Society in Crete
Crete has always attracted the interest of scholars in modern times not only because of the archaeological discoveries of Sir Arthur Evans, but also because of its rich history and the particular cultural traits and traditions resulting from the fact that the island has been at the centre of geographical, cultural and religious crossroads. The fifteen papers included in this volume explore original aspects of the Cretan cultural and historical tradition, give original insights into already established fields and underline from the vantage point of their own particular discipline its distinctive character and impact. As a result of such a thematic variety, this volume will be of interest not only to scholars and students of modern Greek studies, but also Renaissance Studies, comparative literature, cultural and social history and anthropology, and travel literature, as well as historical linguistics and dialectology.
