Prof. Dr. Mehmet Akif K ireçci January 2019 This dissertation focuses on the history of introduction and development of electrical technology in Ottoman Istanbul with a special focus on the 1910 concession, and its implementation, which was held to construct the first power plant in Istanbul, the Si lahtarağa Power Plant. The concession became the arena for international competition, and revealed the critical roles of multinational companies, consortiums, and the international banking in the electrification business of Istanbul, along with the various diplomatic maneuvers of European and American states, which depicted the diffusion of foreign capital into the Ottoman lands. Under this complex competitive environment, rather than being a passive receptor of technology, the Ottoman bureaucracy and engineers played an active, well-informed and sophisticated role that they were able to select the appropriate technology to be applied in Silahtarağa plant, design necessary rules and regulations for it and control technology’s implementation stage. Keywords: Deutsche Bank, Electrification, Istanbul, Ottoman Empire, Silahtarağa Power Plant. i ÖZET İSTANBUL’UN ELEKTRİFİKASYONU (1878-1923) Aysal Cin , Ulaş Duygu Doktora, Tarih Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Dr. Ögr. Üyesi Mehmet Akif K ireçci Ocak 2019 Bu çalışma, Osmanlı İstanbulu’nda elektrik teknolojisinin gelişim tarihini, kentin ilk santrali olan Silahtarağa Elektrik Santrali için 1910 yılında yapılan ihale, imtiyaz ve imtiyaz uygulama süreçlerine odaklanarak incelemektedir. Uluslararası rekabete konu olan İstanbul elektrik imtiyazı süreci, bu süreçte yer alan çok uluslu şirketler, konsorsiyumlar, ulularası bankacılık ve Avrupa ve Amerika Birleşik Devletlerinin Osmanlı İmparaorluğundaki diplomatik birimlerinin kritik rolünü ortaya çıkarmış ve yabancı sermayenin Osmanlı topraklarına girişini betimleyen bir vaka çalışması olmuştur. Uluslarası rekabetin bulunduğu bu ortamda, Osmanlı bürokrat ve mühendisleri ise elektrik tenolojisinin pasif bir alıcısı olmak yerine, Silahtarağa Santrali’nde kullanılacak uygun teknolojinin seçiminde; elektriğin üretimi, dağıtımı, tüketimi ve kontrolü konularına ilişkin düzenlemelerin yapılmasında ve teknolojinin uygulama sürecinin denetiminde aktif, bilgi sahibi ve sofistike bir davranış sergilemişlerdir. Anahtar Sözcükler: Deutsche Bank, Elektrifikasyon, İstanbul, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu, Silahtarağa Elektrik Santrali. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis could not have been completed without the help of certain people.

    Western Performing Arts in the Late Ottoman Empire: Accommodation and Formation

    2020 © Özgecan Karadağlı, Context 46 (2020): 17–33. Western Performing Arts in the Late Ottoman Empire: Accommodation and Formation Özgecan Karadağlı While books such as Larry Wolff’s The Singing Turk: Ottoman Power and Operatic Emotions on the European Stage offer an understanding of the musicological role of Ottoman-Turks in eighteenth-century European operatic traditions and popular culture,1 the musical influence and significance going the other way is often overlooked, minimised, and misunderstood. In the nineteenth century, Ottoman sultans were establishing theatres in their palaces, cities were hosting theatres and opera houses, and an Ottoman was writing the first Ottoman opera (1874). This article will examine this gap in the history of Western music, including opera, in the Ottoman period, and the slow amalgamation of Western and Ottoman musical elements that arose during the Ottoman Empire. This will enable the reader to gauge the developments that eventually marked the break between the Ottoman era and early twentieth-century modern Turkey. Because even the words ‘Ottoman Empire’ are enough to create a typical orientalist image, it is important to build a cultural context and address critical blind spots. It is an oft- repeated misunderstanding that Western music was introduced into modern-day Turkey after 1 Larry Wolff, The Singing Turk: Ottoman Power and Operatic Emotions on the European Stage (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2016). 17 18 Context 46 (2020): Karadağlı the proclamation of the Republic in 1923.2 As this article will demonstrate, the intercultural interaction gave rise to institutional support, and as Western music became a popular and accepted genre in the Ottoman Empire of the nineteenth century,3 it influenced political and creative aspirations through the generation of new nationalist music for the Turkish Republic.4 Intercultural Interaction: Pre-Tanzimat and İstibdat Periods, 1828–1908 Although Western music arrived in the Empire in the sixteenth century,5 it took almost two and a half centuries to become established.

Smith, afer his appointment to the prestigious project for the new Istanbul Embassy Building of United Kingdom, whose conceptual design was probably by renowned architect Sir Charles Barry, had attained the interest and trust of Ottoman statesmen. Consequently he was assigned to realise a number of important architectural projects contributing to the modernization of Ottoman Architecture. Some of the Smith’s important works for the Ottoman Porte are: A military hospital [Gümüşsuyu Askeri Hastanesi], a naval hospital, a school of medicine later known as Mecidiye Kışlası then Taşkışla, a part of the Selimiye Barracks, a Glass Pavilion in Dolmabahçe Palace and Tophane Imperial Kiosk [Tophane Kasrı] for Sultan Abdülmecid; a building for the Board of Trade, renovation of the Naum Teatre.

    Letters from Vidin: a Study of Ottoman Governmentality and Politics of Local Administration, 1864-1877

    LETTERS FROM VIDIN: A STUDY OF OTTOMAN GOVERNMENTALITY AND POLITICS OF LOCAL ADMINISTRATION, 1864-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Mehmet Safa Saracoglu ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Carter Vaughn Findley, Adviser Professor Jane Hathaway ______________________ Professor Kenneth Andrien Adviser History Graduate Program Copyright by Mehmet Safa Saracoglu 2007 ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on the local administrative practices in Vidin County during 1860s and 1870s. Vidin County, as defined by the Ottoman Provincial Regulation of 1864, is the area that includes the districts of Vidin (the administrative center), ‛Adliye (modern-day Kula), Belgradcık (Belogradchik), Berkofça (Bergovitsa), İvraca (Vratsa), Rahova (Rahovo), and Lom (Lom), all of which are located in modern-day Bulgaria. My focus is mostly on the post-1864 period primarily due to the document utilized for this dissertation: the copy registers of the county administrative council in Vidin. Doing a close reading of these copy registers together with other primary and secondary sources this dissertation analyzes the politics of local administration in Vidin as a case study to understand the Ottoman governmentality in the second half of the nineteenth century. The main thesis of this study contends that the local inhabitants of Vidin effectively used the institutional framework of local administration ii in this period of transformation in order to devise strategies that served their interests. This work distances itself from an understanding of the nineteenth-century local politics as polarized between a dominating local government trying to impose unprecedented reforms designed at the imperial center on the one hand, and an oppressed but nevertheless resistant people, rebelling against the insensitive policies of the state on the other.

    Building Sovereignty in the Late Ottoman World: Imperial Subjects, Consular Networks and Documentation of Individual Identities

    Building Sovereignty in the Late Ottoman World: Imperial Subjects, Consular Networks and Documentation of Individual Identities Merve Ispahani Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Merve Ispahani All rights reserved ABSTRACT Building Sovereignty in the Late Ottoman World: Imperial Subjects, Consular Networks and Documentation of Individual Identities Merve Ispahani This dissertation examines the formation of Ottoman sovereignty in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries at the disciplinary intersection of international law and history. As an attempt to break away from a strictly territorial understanding of sovereignty as a fixed legal construct, it explores shifting definitions of sovereignty within and across the boundaries of the Ottoman Empire as well as its semi-autonomous provinces. It argues that Ottoman sovereignty was constantly re-defined by inter-imperial rivalries, jurisdictional politics and the formation of modern subjecthood and citizenship in the emerging arena of international law during the period in question. Exploring what it meant to be an Ottoman and a foreigner in the Ottoman Empire during this period, I argue that subjecthood; nationality and citizenship often appear as instrumental categories incidentally utilized by ordinary individuals when deemed necessary. A careful examination of the Ottoman passport regime, on the other hand, proves that there already existed a prolonged process of experimentation on individual documentation and movement controls during the second half of the nineteenth history. Studying a collection of identity cards and passports, I argue that individual documentation was more important for some subjects than others, who needed to maintain and negotiate their identities under overlapping structures of multiple sovereignties.

    From Empire to Republic: Western Art Music, Nationalism, and the Merging Mediation of Saygun’s Op.26 Yunus Emre Oratorio by Ozgecan Karadagli A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Alberta © Ozgecan Karadagli, 2017 Abstract This dissertation focuses on Western art music during the second half of the 19th century Ottoman Empire and the first half of 20th century in Republic of Turkey in the construction of a national identity, and how it had been used as a part of cultural politics. One of the aims is to contest some misinterpretations on the history and roles of Western art music. Through the Tanzimat (reform) period of the Ottoman Empire, Western art music genres became part of their Westernization policy. However, music was not a part of state ideology. On the other hand, as a big part of culture revolutions, music played an immense role of forging the new national identity of Turkish Republic. This music, under the vision of the founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, was formed through the synthesis of newly constructed Turkish folk music and Western art music techniques. Ahmet Adnan Saygun, as one the first generation of composers of the new state, dedicated himself to creating the new nationalist music of Turkey. This dissertation also argues that Saygun brought together Turkish folk music, Turkish art music and Western art music to compose nationalist music. In doing so, Saygun mediated the aesthetic and cultural traditions of the past and the present as well as broke the artificial art and folk music binary.
