Fatma Esen Rev2 CENSORSHIP UNDER ALLIED OCCUPATION OF ISTANBUL: THE ANALYSIS OF TASVÎR-İ EFKÂR NEWSPAPER by FATMA ESEN Submitted to the Graduate School of Social Sciences in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Sabancı University March 2020 FATMA ESEN 2020 © All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT CENSORSHIP UNDER ALLIED OCCUPATION OF ISTANBUL: THE ANALYSIS OF TASVÎR-İ EFKÂR NEWSPAPER FATMA ESEN HISTORY M.A. THESIS, MARCH 2020 Thesis Supervisor: Prof. Cemil KOÇAK Keywords: Istanbul under Allied Occupation, the Censorship of the Ottoman Government, the Interallied Censorship, Tasvîr-i Efkâr This thesis aims to examine pre-print censorship in occupied Istanbul by analyzing the signs of censorship and the censored content in the Tasvîr-i Efkâr newspaper throughout the research period (November 1918-1922). Consisting of two main components, the first part approached the mechanism by questioning how was established, its workplace, who is involved, its guidelines, and alterations. The second component is an attempt to understand the censorship regime of the period with the analysis of Tasvîr-i Efkâr. Hence, it endeavors to evaluate the frequently seen censored content by analyzing them day-by-day and transforming its intensity into a systematical data. Thus, it attempted to demonstrate the observed restrictions not a constant policy against the Anatolian Movement, but a multi-component system having motivations, fluctuations in its intensity, alterations in the censored content, and the policies of governments. Therefore, the second chapter attempted to study the mechanism on the Istanbul press through two sub-sections; the censorship of the Ottoman government and the Interallied. The third chapter examines the newspaper in four-parts (1) the transition period, (2) the peak period of censorship, (3) of Congresses, and (4) the term between the Ali Rıza Paşa’s government and de jure occupation of Istanbul. Lastly, it questions why Tevhîd-i Efkâr was able to publish news about Anatolia enthusiastically despite the Interallied censorship and what were the censored contents between April 1921/August 1922. The three sub-chapters formed with the censorship peak points to seek the causes of censorship intensity, and the final writing examined how pre-print censorship was terminated. iv ÖZET İŞGAL ALTINDAKİ İSTANBUL’DA SANSÜR: TASVÎR-İ EFKÂR GAZETESİNİN İNCELENMESİ FATMA ESEN TARİH YÜKSEK LİSANS TEZİ, MART 2020 Tez Danışmanı: Prof. Dr. Cemil Koçak Anahtar Kelimeler: İşgal Altında İstanbul, Osmanlı Hükümeti Sansürü, Beyne’l- mütelifin Sansür, Tasvîr-i Efkâr Bu tez Tasvîr-i Efkâr gazetesinde sansürün işaretlerini ve içeriğini araştırma dönemi (Kasım 1918-1922) boyunca irdeleyerek işgal altındaki İstanbul’da kablet-tab (basım öncesi) sansürü incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışmanın ilk bölümü sansür mekanizmasının nasıl kurulduğunu, çalışma yerini, kimlerin mekanizmada rol aldığını, talimatnameleri ve ondaki değişimleri sorgular. İkinci bileşeni dönemin değişen sansür politikasını Tasvîr-i Efkâr’ı inceleyerek anlama çabasıdır. Bunun için gazetedeki sansür yoğunluğunu sistemsel bir veriye çevirmiş ve sansürlenen içeriği gün-be-gün inceleyerek sıklıkla görülen içeriği değerlendirmeye çalışmıştır. Böylelikle, görülen kısıtlamaların sadece Anadolu Hareketine yönelen sabit bir politika değil, kendi içinde motivasyona, yoğunluğunda dalgalanmalara, sansürlenen içerikte değişimlere, sansür uygulamasını hayata geçiren hükümetlerin politikalarına şahit olan çok bileşenli bir sistem olduğunu göstermeye çalışmıştır. Bu amaçla tezin ikinci bölümü Istanbul basını üzerindeki mekanizmayı iki alt bölümle araştırmaya çalışmıştır; Osmanlı hükümeti ve Beyne’l-mütelifin (İtilaf devletleri) sansürü. Üçüncü bölümü ise gazeteyi dört bölümde muayene eder: (1) geçiş dönemi, (2) sansürün en yoğun olduğu dönem, (3) Kongreler dönemi, (4) Ali Rıza Paşa hükümeti ve İstanbul’un meşru işgaline kadar olan devre. Son olarak Beyne’l-mütelifin sansürüne rağmen Tevhîd-i Efkâr’ın neden Anadoluyu destekleyici haberler yayımlayabildiğini ve Nisan 1921/Ağustos 1922 arasında nelerin sansürlendiğini sorgular. Üç alt bölüm sansür yoğunluğundaki nedenleri araştırmak için sansürün tepe noktaları ile oluşturulmuş ve son yazı kable’t-tab sansürünün nasıl kaldırıldığını sorgulamıştır. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Cemil Koçak for his patience, sincerity, and invaluable comments.

New way of living which was originated in Europe and representatives thereof became influential as guides and determinants of reconstruction process in the Ottoman Empire. It is possible to point out that the Ottoman Empire which got closer to France for handling military problems, to England for industrialisation purposes and to Italy for architecture and arts had intense communication and the resulting interaction with European states in the course of reconstruction process. This study aims to give information about the social, cultural and artistic environment in the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II (1876-1909). Key Words: Culture, Art, Ottoman Empire, Sultan Abdul Hamid II. General View of the Environment of Culture and Art in 19th Century in the Ottoman Empire It is clear that sultans had a very important role in the ruling of the country as a part of state system of the Ottoman Empire thus, good or bad functioning of the state and events and actions which might affect the society from various aspects were closely connected to personality, behaviours and mentality of the sultan.

Mektuplaşma hemen hemen yok denecek kadar az olup, yaygın haberleşme belgeleri olan kartpostallar ise sadece sahaflarda ya da müze girişlerinde göze çarpmaktadır. Yakın tarihte iletişimin kamusal mekânı olan postanelerin ziyaretçileri bu nedenle azalmış, tarihteki yerini almış olan ‘Posta Kutu’ları ise bilindiği üzere artık kullanılmamaktadır. İstanbul’da ticaret ve yönetim yapılarının en çok bulunduğu semtlerden biri olan Eminönü’nde bulunan ve bu çalışmanın konusu olarak belirlenen Büyük Postane hakkında yapılan bu çalışmada, öncelikle tarihsel sürece ilişkin kaynak araştırması yapılmış ve yerinde yapılan görsel belgelemenin ardından özellikle iç mekân kurgusu incelenmiş ve izin verildiği ölçüde çizim yapılmıştır. Günümüzde tescilli bir kamu yapısı olan Büyük Postane aynı zamanda mimarisi ve haberleşmedeki tarihsel görevi ve nitelikleri ile korunması gerekli önemli bir yapıdır. Büyük Postane binasının iç mekân donanımı, yatay, düşey yapı elemanları ve mobilyaları genel tasarım ilkeleri ve malzemeleri açısından incelenmiş ve günümüzde kullanılan PTT hizmet bölümü ile özgün teknik donatı, araç ve gereçler ile mobilyaların tarihsel gelişimi dikkate alınarak Büyük Postane Müzesi’nde çalışmalar yapılmıştır.

    TURKEY ’S DEMOCRATIC EXPERIENCE : AN EXCEPTIONAL CASE IN THE MUSLIM WORLD A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Bryan E. Altmire, B.S. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 4, 2012 TURKEY ’S DEMOCRATIC EXPERIENCE : AN EXCEPTIONAL CASE IN THE MUSLIM WORLD Bryan E. Altmire, B.S. MALS Mentor: Shireen Hunter, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The development of democratic political intuitions and a culture of democracy have proven unsuccessful in nearly all Muslim countries with very few notable exceptions. Turkey is one of these exceptional cases. Turkey’s unique democratic experience is attributable to several internal and external factors. The most significant internal factors are: the legacy of the Ottoman Era; a secular ethos; and a strong military as the guardian of the secular character of the Turkish Republic. Most notably, among the external factors are: the Ottoman Empire’s proximity to Europe and interactions through the European State System; membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO); and special relations with the European Union (EU). This Thesis is an analysis of how these factors have contributed to Turkey’s success in building a relatively democratic political system. ii CONTENTS ABSTRACT ................................................. ii CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION ................................... 1 CHAPTER 2: THE LEGACY OF THE LATE OTTOMAN ERA ............. 3 CHAPTER 3: THE KEMALIST SECULAR ETHOS .................... 14 CHAPTER 4: THE ROLE OF THE MILITARY ...................... 30 CHAPTER 5: THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE’S PROXIMITY TO EUROPE AND INTERACTIONS THROUGH THE EUROPEAN STATE SYSTEM ..........

Bu bağlamda, romanın geçtiği ve Doktor Hikmet’in karakterinin şekillenmesinde de önemli rol oynayan dönemin toplumsal iklimi ve tarihi koşulları da dikkate alınıp bunlara değinilmiştir.
