  • Topkapi Palace As a Moral and Political Institutional Structure in the Ottoman Palace Organization
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 7, No. 3; March 2017 Topkapi Palace as a Moral and Political Institutional Structure in the Ottoman Palace Organization Samed Kurban Research Assistant Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Department of Public Administration Dumlupınar University Kutahya/Turkey Abstract The Topkapı Palace is a building built after the conquest of Istanbul, where the Ottoman Empire was ruled and where the sultans and their families resided until the mid-19th century. The palace, which has been in service for a period of about 400 years in the Ottoman Empire's lifetime of six centuries, functions as a living space of Ottoman administration and politics and ethics with the practices, customs and traditions that took place during this period. Therefore, it is a very important reference for the Ottoman State. It must be said that this position is very different from a state or presidential residence existing in modern states. The rules, which have been strictly respected for centuries and the existence of a system that operates on a regular basis, place Topkapı Palace in a privileged position. It is possible to see this characteristic in the organizational structure of Topkapı Palace. Especially the Enderun and Harem constructions, which are located in the third yard within the palace, have very important functions in the Ottoman State regarding the distinction between public and private spaces. In the study, the place where Topkapı Palace has taken as a moral and political institutional structure in the Ottoman State shall be revealed in terms of the three main gates of the palace and the courts that these gates open to.

  • Book of Islamic Arts Overview There Is Much Diversity Within Islamic Culture
    Book of Islamic Arts Overview There is much diversity within Islamic culture. During this unit, students will learn about several significant forms of Islamic art (mosque architecture, geometric/arabesque design, and calligraphy) by completing a children’s book that is missing important information or images. The book is divided up into 5 class sessions with an optional 6th session to wrap up missing sections or create a cover. Through the exploration, students will learn that Islamic art around the world can include many different concepts, and they will apply new knowledge through note-taking, graphic organizers, drawing, calligraphy, and optional mosaic portions of the book. When finished, each student will have a completed book that reviews the arts covered in the unit and celebrates the diversity of Muslim culture around the world. Grade 5 Subject Visual Arts Essential Standards • 5.V.2.2 - Use ideas and imagery from the global environment as sources for creating art. • 5.V.3.3 - Create art using the processes of drawing, painting, weaving, printing, stitchery, collage, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics, and current technology. • 5.CX.1 - Understand the global, historical, societal, and cultural contexts of the visual arts. Essential Questions • How do pictures help to tell a story? • How do Muslim artists reflect their local culture through the arts? • What can we learn about Islamic culture from the diversity of Islamic arts? • Why is it important to learn about cultures other than our own? Materials • Copies of the children’s book for each student (attached). The student book is 10 pages long and can be printed on regular copy paper, or on stronger paper like Bristol or cardstock if the teacher intends to use paint.

Cem GÖRÜR ÖN SÖZ XVII. yüzyılın başında Osmanlı veraset sisteminin değişmesi, Osmanlı padişahlarının hayatlarında ciddi bir değişime sebep oldu. Şehzadelik dönemlerini sıkı bir gözetim altında geçirmeye başlayan padişahlar, bu zorlu sürecin ardından tahta oturduklarında, devletin geçirdiği sancılı süreçler karşısında tecrübesizliklerinin sıkıntısını fazlasıyla yaşadılar. XVIII. yüzyılın başında meydana gelen Edirne Vakası’yla birlikte, padişahlık dönemlerinde de bir mekân tahdidine uğramışlar ve ataları gibi İstanbul dışında uzun vakitler geçiremez olmuşlardı. Bu açıdan yaklaşıldığında XVIII. yüzyıl padişahlarının kendilerine has koşulları olduğu görülür. Buna mukabil tarih yazımında XVIII. yüzyılın, Tanzimat öncesi Türk “yenileşmesi/modernleşmesinin” öncülü bir süreci veya ihtişamlı “klasik” devir sonrası duraklama ve gerilemenin üzücü bir aşaması şeklinde ele alınması, dönemin padişahlarına da benzer bir perspektiften yaklaşılmasına sebep olmuştur. Dolayısıyla mevcut şartları içerisinde padişahların bizzat kendilerine, onların içinde bulundukları hayata/rutinlerine odaklanan çalışmalar son derece sınırlı kalmıştır.
