The old versus the new, the traditional versus the modern is a conflict a visitor often observes. The city is full of contrasts, and colorful views, Where the blowing winds from the seven peaks of Anatolian Olympos merge into each other... Where Amazon's cooled their bodies in the waves that break apart from the Black Sea and roll mightily against the shore... Where love is symbolized in the Tower of Leandros... Where stand the rocks of Symplegad that brought nightmares to the Argonauts... Built on seven hills on Asia and Europe... Capital of three empires... Where romance and traffic jam go hand in hand... Lively and exciting... A world metropolis... That is Istanbul... Would you like us to guide you through this legendary city? For the ones who live here, for the occasional visitors and for those of you who are entering it for the first time - whichever aspect of this city you want to experience, we will help you to reach it easily. 3 4 GARANTİ KOZA ARENA GARANTI KOZA ARENA MAP 1.

Prof. Dr. Mehmet Kalpaklı January 2018 In the early 17th-century Ottoman Empire, a series of sociocultural, administrative, political, and economic changes were underway that left their mark on how the learned and cultural elite viewed the empire and themselves. Though contemporary sources reflect these shifts in many ways , this period’s rich corpus of invective verse , centering around the poet Nefʿī , has been understudied as a historical source. This dissertation rectifies this neglect by examining this invective corpus as a locus of rivalries and enmities revealing how those involved agonistically defined and were defined by their others, thus necessarily defining themselves in the process. Observing this process of definition and self-definition in the light of contemporary historical developments and sources, the dissertation examines invectives produced against both patrons ( i.e., vertical invective) and fellow poet/clients ( i.e., horizontal invective) in such a way as to demonstrate how the ferocity of the period’s invective verse, and reactions thereto, laid bare how Ottoman elites’ imaginary of themselves was in fact a marginalizing construct.

  • Istanbul & Cappadocia, Turkey
    TURKEY I made two trips to Turkey in the same year: the first for five days/six nights to Istanbul over New Year’s and the second to Istanbul and Cappadocia in early September. Below is the itinerary for the second trip, which I combined with a trip to Corsica, hence why I flew from Nice. There are direct flights between Paris and Istanbul but so far as I know, not between Paris and Kayseri, in Cappadocia. If you are visiting Istanbul for the first time, one full day (as indicated below) is surely not enough. I’d recommend 5-7 days to take in most of the sights and explore the main neighborhoods. For additional recommendations for Islanbul, from a Turkish friend who currently lives in Istanbul, see the last two pages of this itinerary.

Yes, Constantinople has been gone a long time, but Istanbul has charms that evoke both a bygone era and the seductions of the modern world.
