Images (II)
IMAGES (II) - Images of the Poor offers readers a cross-section of current research on the perception of poverty and on contemporary and historical representations of poverty coming from a variety of fields in people's daily lives. The fact that the international group of contributors to this book come from very different cultural, ideological, scientific/academic perspectives, and backgrounds is adding even more to the diversity of thought and ideas documented. The arguments presented help to raise the social awareness needed to break the vicious circle of poverty. (Series: Anthropology / Ethnologie - Vol. 52)
The Transformational Process of the Presidency of Religious Affairs in Turkey
This article focuses on the historically complex relations between the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) and the Turkish state. It asserts that the Diyanet, from its establishment in 1924 to the present time, has experienced transformation from a strictly state-controlled institution to a more autonomous one. This transformational process transpired, sometimes overtly and sometimes covertly, within the borders of the secular state. In exploring this process, the article analyzes the ways in which the institution’s position has gradually risen within the state’s constitution and how its religious discourses, statements, and activities have changed from nationalistic to holistic.
Contemporary Perspectives on Turkey’s EU Accession Process
Despite having made its first application for EEC membership in 1959, Turkey’s bid to join the EU remains as controversial as ever, with Turkey and EU relations arguably at an all–time low in the aftermath of the attempted coup d’état of July 2016. In this context, the essays here, while using (de)Europeanisation as a broad theoretical framework, explore the current state of Turkey’s EU accession bid from a variety of perspectives, including discourse analysis, Euroscepticism and institutionalist approaches. The essays focus not only on discursive and policy (de)Europeanisation within Turkey, but also examine both official EU and European right–wing Eurosceptic discourse on Turkish accession, as well as approaching the Turkish accession process through comparisons with the contemporary Western Balkan countries and with post–war Germany.
IMAGES (III) - Images of the City
IMAGES deals with the discourse of cultural encounters within the context of social co-existence. Within this scope, the project deals with both verbal and non-verbal communication and focuses on the thematic fields of cultural encounter, poverty, and migration. This volume thus offers readers a cross-section of current research both on the perception of urbanity and on contemporary and historical representations of the city, coming from a variety of fields in people's daily lives.

Sanatta Tema: Yemek
Sanatta Tema: Yemek, birbirini takip edecek, sanata yansıyan birtakım kavramların bir dizi kitap içerisinde ele alınması fikrinden hareketle, serinin ilk basamağı olarak ortaya çıktı ve nihayetinde yaklaşık bir yılı aşkın bir sürenin sonunda, kitap son şeklini aldı. Ortaya birbirinden ilginç, içinde tarih, kültür, sanat ve yemekle ilişkili “lezzetli” konular barındıran yazılar çıktı. Kitabın fikir babası olduğumdan, önsözünü ve girişini kaleme almak bana düştü. Önsöze not düşmek istediğim pek çok konuyu genel bir başlık altında giriş bölümüne bırakmayı yeğledim ve hatta giriş bölümünü, tekrara düşmemek adına, kitap içeris...
The History of Translation and Translators in the Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire covered a vast territory for more than five centuries and was therefore a multi-ethnic and multicultural state from the very beginning. Due to the need to negotiate military, political and economic matters both within and outside its borders, the state relied on the services of interpreters. However, despite the multicultural and linguistically diverse communication in the Ottoman Empire, the practice of translation was not formally institutionalised by the state. Until the modernisation efforts of the 18th century, translation was mainly seen as a facilitating or ancillary activity in the diplomatic context. The primary aim of this collection is to comprehensively analyse...
