Dinler - Tarih ve Sembolizm
Dinler, sadece inançlar ve ibadetlerden ya da ritüellerden ibaret sistemler deÄŸildir. Onlar, ortaya çıktıkları tarihî ortam, kültürel ÅŸartlar ve medeniyetler ile etkileÅŸim içerisinde varlıklarını devam ettiren en önemli müesseselerdir. Bu nedenle, dinler incelenirken onların yaÅŸadıkları tarihi ortam ve içinde doÄŸdukları kültürel ortamın bilinmesi, onları yakından tanımamızı ve doÄŸru kararlar vermemizi saÄŸlar. Bu çerçevede, dinlerin kullandıkları diller, hem o dilleri hem de taşıdıkları kültürel zenginliÄŸi doÄŸrudan veya dolaylı olarak kutsallağın bir parçası haline getirirler. Soyut anlatımların somut ifadeleri olan kültürel kodlar, çoÄ...
Entangled Histories of the Balkans - Volume Four
The essays in this volume address theoretical and methodological issues of Balkan or Southeast European regional studies—questions of scholarly concepts, definitions, and approaches but also the extra-scholarly, ideological, political, and geopolitical motivations that underpin them.
Living in Turkey
The rise and fall of great empires - Hittite, Byzantine, Ottoman - has brought a mosaic of influences to bear on Turkish design. 'Living in Turkey' draws aside a veil of privacy to lead us into Turkey’s carefully hidden interiors. We see houses that have evolved to suit local conditions and needs, from the earthen dwellings of Cappadocia to the stone masonry of Anatolia. In Istanbul, modern life is tinged with the colours of ancient cultures and past times. Old wooden buildings dream in huge gardens along the Bosphorus; angular modern apartments are softened by kilims and accessories; in every house are Turkish coffee-pots, handmade embroideries and coloured glass. Throughout, colour photography invites us to share in the enjoyment of these decorative marvels, bringing us closer to the design and architecture of this entrancing culture.
Facts and Fantasies
The question of women and their rights was a prominent and ongoing topic of debate in the popular press of Turkey in the 1920s. This work presents an insightful analysis of those debates and follows its traces in obscene literature of the period, as a marginal, but influential branch of popular literature. Popular literature of the time carefully scrutinizes urban Istanbul women in particular, from their biological responsibilities to their behavior in the public arena, down to their clothes and their relations with the opposite sex. It was believed that it was urban women above all who threatened the contemporary social order. Bearing in mind that the traditional faith-based, patriarchal Ot...

The Oxford History of Historical Writing
Volume III of The Oxford History of Historical Writing contains essays by leading scholars on the writing of history globally during the early modern era, from 1400 to 1800. The volume proceeds in geographic order from east to west, beginning in Asia and ending in the Americas. It aims at once to provide a selective but authoritative survey of the field and, where opportunity allows, to provoke cross-cultural comparisons. This is the third of five volumes in a series that explores representations of the past from the beginning of writing to the present day, and from all over the world.
