    THESIS ISLAM IN MODERN TURKEY (1938-82) flBSTRflCT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF MLOSOPHY IN ISLAMIC STUDIES BY AIJAZ AHMED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. SAYYIDAHSAN READER DEPARTMiNT OF ISLAMIC STTUDISS ALI6ARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 20Di STff^o % ABSTRACT In tenth century, the Turks of central Asia had converted to Islam and by the eleventh century they began to push their way into South-Eastern Russia and Persia. The Ottoman State emerged consequent to an Islamic movement under Ghazi Osman (1299-1326), founder of the dynasty, at Eskisehir, in North- Eastern Anatolia. Sufis, Ulema and Ghazis of Anatolia played an important role in this movement. For six centuries the Ottomans were almost constantly at war with Christian Europe and had succeeded in imposing the Islamic rule over a large part of Europe. The later Sultans could not maintain it strictly. With the expansion of the Ottoman dominions the rulers became more autocratic with the sole aim of conquering alien land. To achieve this the rulers granted freedom and cultural autonomy to his non-Muslim subjects and allowed the major religious groups to establish self governing communities under the leadership of their own religious chiefs. The recent work is spread over two parts containing eight chapters with a brief introduction and my own conclusions. Each part has four chapters. Part I, chapters I to IV, deals with the political mobilization of the Turkish peasants from the beginning of the modernization period and to the war of Independence as well as the initial stages of the transition to comparative politics.

Prof. Mehmet ALTINÖZ 1 Nihan ÖZDEMİR2 Prof. İlker USTA3 1 Hacettepe University, Vocational School of Social Sciences, 06100, Ankara, TURKEY [email protected] 2 Hacettepe University, Graduate School of Science and Engineering, 06800, Ankara, TURKEY 3 Hacettepe University, School of Vocational Technology, 06800, Ankara, TURKEY Abstract- Furniture matter as a significant cultural element to enlighten the past times considered as bookcases, desks, and task chairs in offices. In the Early Republican period, modern working furniture meant to be highlighted as a symbol of civilized life with the proclamation of the republic. Used in last centuries of Ottoman Empire, wooden neoclassical and elaborated furniture were fundamentals to widespread of western furniture. After 1930, there was a rising requirement for furniture related with increasing institutionalization. Furniture and spaces were started to consider as entire, forms were simplified. Functional furniture designed by architects with modernity effects. Spreading of Art Deco furniture for the last 5 years of this period was seen as an effort to catch the era and being future-oriented. Also, it was the symbol of optimism after World War I. The reason to study about working furniture in office area is being a symbol of working, developing and thinking especially for creating a civilized society, and internalization of modernity. The study aims to reveal the relationships of working furniture models in offices manufactured and used in Turkey, during the Early Republican Period (1920-1940) with the notion of modern furniture by examining their general form and functional properties.

  • Suat Derviş (1905-1972): a Friend of the Soviet Union
    Suat Derviş (1905-1972): A Friend of the Soviet Union By NAZLI EYLEM TAŞDEMİR Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of European Master in Women’s and Gender History Supervisor: Professor Francisca de Haan Budapest, Hungary CEU eTD Collection 2017 Abstract In this thesis, I examine Suat Derviş’s life story and trace the course of Derviş’s intellectual and political journey, from being an aristocratic Ottoman woman with an unavoidable distance from society to becoming a journalist whose writing was informed by a sense of social justice. Her literary career and political ideas witnessed a courageous and rather an unconventional transformation. After being trained by private tutors in Turkey, Suat Derviş continued her education in Germany. She started her career as an author with her first novel at the age of sixteen and she went on to work as a journalist in Turkey and different countries in Europe. Her visits to the Soviet Union in 1937 and 1939, and her work in Turkey as a journalist conducting street interviews enabled her to confront different social realities and had a huge impact on her political ideas and her writing. In 1944, Derviş wrote a booklet called Neden Sovyetler Birliğinin Dostuyum? (Why am I a Friend of the Soviet Union?) which constitutes the primary focus of this thesis. Derviş wrote this booklet in response to accusations made in anti-communist writer Reha Oğuz Türkkan’s booklets Kızıllar ve Sollar (Reds and Leftists) and Kızıl Faaliyet (Red Activity), with the aim to explain and justify her admiration of the Soviet Union.
