Diplomats had multiple tasks: not only negotiating with the representatives of other states, but also mediating culture and knowledge, and not least elaborating reports on their observations of politics, society, and culture. Culture, according to the studies featured in this book, is defined as a complex sphere including aspects like systems of communication, literature, music, arts, education, and the creation of knowledge. This edition containing contributions from six conferences held in Vienna and Istanbul by the Don Juan Archiv Wien focuses on the complex diplomatic and cultural relations between the Ottoman Empire and Europe from the time of the early embassies to Istanbul up to "Tanzimat".
"This book arises from papers presented at the symposium Ottoman Istanbul and British Orientalism held at Suna and Inan Kirac Foundation, Pera Museum, between 27-28 November 2008"--T.p. verso.
Social and behavioral science has for decades studied and recognized leadership as a social exchange between leaders and followers. But leadership is rather complex, and as such, it tends to lead to an increased interest within and across different disciplines. This book is an attempt to provide theoretical and empirical framework to better understand leadership challenges in various contexts. The authors cover an array of themes that span from an individual level to an organizational and societal level. In this volume, two sections are presented. The first section based on individual level focuses on different leadership styles and abilities, and the other section provides theories to understand leadership in public administration, in industrial settings and in nonprofit organizations.
Üryan, Çıplak, Nü: Türk Resminde Bir Modernleşme Öyküsü sanatta portre, manzara, natürmort gibi belli başlı türlerden biri olan nü resmin modern Türk sanatındaki gelişim sürecine odaklanıyor. Sergide bir araya gelen resimlerin sunduğu zengin üslup çeşitliliği, çıplak insan bedeninin Türk ressamları için bir konu olmaktan öte, biçimsel bir arayışın temeli olduğunu, başlı başına sanatsal bir ifade aracı olarak gündeme geldiğini gözler önüne seriyor. Öğrencilik döneminde sanatçıların önündeki en çetin sınav olan insan bedeni, üretim sürecinde bir yandan Batı sanatının modernist eğilimlerini izlerken öte yandan özgün bir dil gelişt...
Son yıllarda Fransız sanat sahnesi ne durumda? Bu sahnenin ayırdedici özellikleri, ağır basan eğilimleri neler? Görünüşünü dönüştüren önemli değişiklikler oldu mu? “Panorama”sını çıkartmaktan çok “profil”ini çizme düşüncesinin ortaya koyduğu sorular bunlar. Panorama ve profil sözcükleri arasındaki anlamsal farklılık, burada yadsınmaz bir ağırlık taşır. Panorama kavramı, duruma genişletilmiş bir bakış yöneltildiğini düşündüren bir yoğunluk, bir kapsam içerir; oysa profil kavramı konuya aynı yönde bakmaz ve daha çok, bir toplu bakış düşüncesini vurgular. Bir özet düşüncesini. Tıpkı modelinin ana hatlarını yakalamak ...
Telling a story of class and taste, aspiration and identity, tapestry series The Vanity of Small Differences saw Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry travel the length and breadth of the UK, 'on safari amongst the taste tribes of Britain'. The result is a monumental exploration of the 'emotional investment we make in the things we choose to live with, wear, eat, read or drive.'The six vibrant and highly detailed tapestries presented here bear the influence both of early Renaissance painting and of William Hogarth's moralising series, literally weaving characters, incidents and objects from the artist's research into a modern-day version of A Rake's Progress (1733).Featuring essays by jo...
