Bu eser, 5 yıllık bir çalışma sonucu ortaya çıktığı için, hem hoşlanacağınız bir kurgunun da içinde olduğu felsefe yüklü bir kitap ortaya çıktı. Kitabın içinde çok şey bulacağınızı düşünüyorum. Kitabın amacı tarih boyunca gelmiş geçmiş ünlü düşünür ve felsefecilerin daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlamaktır. * * * Ralf ağırdan kalkıp kürsü/masaya yerleşti, masadaki tokmağı eline aldı ve bir mahkeme hakimi edasıyşa, birkaç kez masaya vurdu: “Dostlar, Bir kişiye de olsa Bilim, Kültür ve Sanat adına bir eşik olursam ne mutlu bana. Sesimi duymayanlara duyurabileceğimi bilsem, inanın aslan olup kükrerdim.” “Felsefe bazılarınc...
“Avcı” diye anılan Sultan IV. Mehmed’in, 1657 yılı sonbaharında, büyük bir kalabalık eşliğinde Edirne’ye ava gidişi çok büyük bir gösteriye dönüşmüş, o yıllarda İstanbul’da İsveç büyükelçisi olarak bulunan Claes Rålamb da, yaptırdığı bir dizi yağlıboya resimle bu yolculuğun ilk bölümünün bir “görsel kaydının” tarihe kalmasını sağlamıştı. Yirmi tablodan oluşan ve bugün İsveç’teki Nordiska Museet’te korunan bu neredeyse “sinematografik” kaydın sergilenebilir durumdaki on altı parçalık bölümü, sözünü ettiğimiz olaydan yaklaşık üç yüz elli yıl sonra, yeniden İstanbul’a, Pera Müzesi’ne konuk oldu. Ava...
This book is about the entanglement of heritage and resistance in different situations of conflicts, and the opportunities this entanglement may provide for social justice. This entanglement is investigated in the different contributions through theoretical and empirical analyses of heritage-led resistance to neoliberal economic development, violation of the subaltern, authorised narratives and state-invented traditions, colonialism and settler colonialism, and even dominating discourses of social movement, to name just a few. Crossing the disciplinary boundaries of heritage and resistance studies, these analyses bring new insights into several timely debates, especially those concerned with the interrelated critical questions of displacement, gentrification, exclusion, marginalization, urbicide, spatial cleansing, dehumanization, alienation, ethnic cleansing and social injustice. Following our purposeful and future-driven approach, we wish to bring new energy to the field of heritage studies through the focus on the potential of heritage and resistance for hopeful change rather than adding to the field yet another overwhelming engagement with conflict and war.
In Violent Intimacies, Aslı Zengin traces how trans people in Turkey creatively negotiate and resist everyday cisheteronormative violence. Drawing on the history and ethnography of the trans communal life in Istanbul, Zengin develops an understanding of cisheteronormative violence that expands beyond sex, gender and sexuality. She shows how cisheteronormativity forms a connective tissue among neoliberal governmentality, biopolitical and necropolitical regimes, nationalist religiosity and authoritarian management of social difference. As much as trans people are shaped by these processes, they also transform them in intimate ways. Transness in Turkey provides an insightful site for developin...
This collection seeks to expand the limits of current debates about urban commoning practices that imply a radical will to establish collaborative and solidarity networks based on anti-capitalist principles of economics, ecology and ethics. The chapters in this volume draw on case studies in a diversity of urban contexts, ranging from Detroit, USA to Kyrenia, Cyprus – on urban gardening and land stewardship, collaborative housing experiments, alternative food networks, claims to urban leisure space, migrants’ appropriation of urban space and workers’ cooperatives/collectives. The analysis pursued by the eleven chapters opens new fields of research in front of us: the entanglements of racial capitalism with enclosures and of black geographies with the commons, the critical history of settler colonialism and indigenous commons, law as a force of enclosure and as a strategy of commoning, housing commons from the urban scale perspective, solidarity economies as labour commons, territoriality in the urban commons, the non-territoriality of mobile commons, the new materialist and post-humanist critique of the commons debate and feminist ethics of care.
Research into and around women's participation in cinematic history has enjoyed dynamic growth over the past decade. A broadening of scope and interests encompasses not only different kinds of filmmaking--mainstream fiction, experimental, and documentary--but also practices--publicity, journalism, distribution and exhibition--seldom explored in the past. Cutting-edge and inclusive, Doing Women's Film History ventures into topics in the United States and Europe while also moving beyond to explore the influence of women on the cinemas of India, Chile, Turkey, Russia, and Australia. Contributors grapple with historiographic questions that cover film history from the pioneering era to the presen...
This book documents the changing role of the Islamic Waqf institution in Cyprus and the conservation of Waqf heritage buildings of Ottoman and Western origins. Previously ignored archives of documents detailing the conservation of Waqf buildings during Ottoman and British rule allow a fine-grained analysis of the colonial introduction of Western approaches to heritage conservation. Colonial rule saw major legislative and administrative changes to the originally autonomous Ottoman Waqf institution, which had already been subject to reforms under the Ottoman regime. Under British rule, Western heritage concepts and modern architectural conservation discourses became the core conservation princ...
The metaphor of the palimpsest has been increasingly invoked to conceptualize cities with deep, living pasts. This volume seeks to think through, and beyond, the logic of the palimpsest, asking whether this fashionable trope slyly forces us to see contradiction where local inhabitants saw (and see) none, to impose distinctions that satisfy our own assumptions about historical periodization and cultural practice, but which bear little relation to the experience of ancient, medieval or early modern persons. Spanning the period from Constantine’s foundation of a New Rome in the fourth century to the contemporary aftermath of the Lebanese civil war, this book integrates perspectives from schol...
