Ömür M.A., Department of Political Science and Public Administration Supervisor: Assist. Prof. E. Fuat Keyman September 2000 Having taken for granted that there exists a certain but nonlinear relation between political ideology and literature, this thesis seeks to trace the early republican political project vis a vis development of the Turkish literature. In this respect, two fundamental dimensions of the republican ideology, modernization and nationalism are considered; and the reflection of these two motives on the political agenda is analyzed through both the works and the debates of period’s Turkish literary world. Further, this thesis attempts to develop a proper theoretical framework derived from the Post-colonial literature theory in order to have a better understanding of the investigated case.

Ömür Master, Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Yrd. Doç. E. Fuat Keyman Eylül, 2000 Siyasi düşünce ve edebiyat arasında kesin, fakat doğrusal olmayan bir ilişki olduğunu temel alarak, bu tez erken dönem cumhuriyet politikaları ve Türk edebiyatı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemiştir. Modernleşme ve milliyetçilik düşüncelerini cumhuriyet idolojisinin iki temel dayanağı olarak alıp; her iki düşüncenin siyasi gündemki yansımalarının hem Türk edebiyatının gelişme sürecine hem de oluşan tartışmalara olan etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bu tezde incelenen konunun uygun bir çerçevede anlaşılabilmesi için, sömürgecilik sonrası edebiyat teorilerinden faydalanılmıştır.

He, as the first supervisor of this thesis, gave me a lot, despite the limited time and chance we had. I am grateful to Fuat Keyman, who offered me great assistance and encouragement before the defense of my thesis, although he became the supervisor of this study at the last moment. I would also like to thank Necmi Erdoğan who provided me a detailed and enriched look on theory for both during my study and for a further inquiry. Finally, I wish to express my gratefulness to Çağla Gülol, Burçin Türkmenoğlu and Emre Üçkardeşler for their limitless support and patience during this whole ten-months of study.

While most of the studies conducted on the foundation years of the Turkish Republic, had focused either on the institutional structure or the political economy of the period, with the starting of the 1980s the general vein of the academic researches turned their attention to the investigation of the cultural formation of the republican ideology. In this respect this thesis could be located in the latter line since it examines particularly the political role of poetry and novel in the process of nation building in Turkey. Considering the two-fold idea, founding of a nation-state and attempt to civilization, as the basic motives in the building of the Republic, it would not be a mistake to define the essential subject of the Turkish Republic as a new concept of ‘Citizen’. This new identity search in the name of the people has necessarily employed the objective of developing a new culture, again, for the people (Tekelioğlu, 1996: 194, Keyman, 1995:103-104). Therefore, the cultural politics has been assigned a peculiar role in the process of nation building and national identity, as the articulating principle of which was the concept of citizenship. The broad field of cultural politics has showed its effects in many different spheres, from the Turkish music to the development of sport activities. The Turkish literature, in this respect has constituted one of the major fields. Throughout the early years of the republican period, both the verse and the prose form have carried the effects of the conducted cultural politics, and they became political means to express the message of the republican ideology. Therefore, it might be said that the 1 construction of the nation-state and the idea of civilization constituted the two main themes of the Turkish literature. In this thesis the development of the republican ideology is examined through the study of the Turkish literature. The notion of ‘revolutionary’ literature that addresses to the ‘glorious’ emergence of Turkish Republic is the main trait for both the poetry and the novel during the early years of the republican period. Therefore, this thesis is in fact an examination of the notion of ‘revolutionary’ literature that took part in the building of a nation-state with a strong attempt to civilization. This is also to say that the early republican literature mirrors us the underlying ideology of these two basic motives. In this respect, throughout the thesis I argue that the Turkish nationalism and its political reflection were based on a self/other relationship. While this ‘self’ was composed of the notion of ‘people’, the Turkish nation and its culture, the ‘other’ basically referred to the recent Ottoman past and its cultural artifacts. In the examination of the ‘revolutionary’ literature this separation appears more apparently. The narration of the Turkish Republic, in both verse and prose forms becomes the point where the tension between the ‘self’ and the ‘other’ surfaces. In this respect the making of the ‘self’ that is included as opposed to the excluded ‘other’ in literary works is the primary point in this thesis to trace. While the case study conducted on the early republican literature presents the concrete examples of this process, the theoretical examination of the relationship between the ‘self’ and the ‘other’ is introduced to the reader in the following chapter. Following the line of Homi Bhabha’s analysis on the post-colonial

  • Bosnian Muslim Reformists Between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina
    Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Harun Buljina All rights reserved ABSTRACT Empire, Nation, and the Islamic World: Bosnian Muslim Reformists between the Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, 1901-1914 Harun Buljina This dissertation is a study of the early 20th-century Pan-Islamist reform movement in Bosnia-Herzegovina, tracing its origins and trans-imperial development with a focus on the years 1901-1914. Its central figure is the theologian and print entrepreneur Mehmed Džemaludin Čaušević (1870-1938), who returned to his Austro-Hungarian-occupied home province from extended studies in the Ottoman lands at the start of this period with an ambitious agenda of communal reform. Čaušević’s project centered on tying his native land and its Muslim inhabitants to the wider “Islamic World”—a novel geo-cultural construct he portrayed as a viable model for communal modernization. Over the subsequent decade, he and his followers founded a printing press, standardized the writing of Bosnian in a modified Arabic script, organized the country’s Ulema, and linked these initiatives together in a string of successful Arabic-script, Ulema-led, and theologically modernist print publications. By 1914, Čaušević’s supporters even brought him to a position of institutional power as Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Reis-ul-Ulema (A: raʾīs al-ʿulamāʾ), the country’s highest Islamic religious authority and a figure of regional influence between two empires.

  • Auerbach, Tanpınar and Edib in Istanbul: Reinventing the Humanities and Comparative Literature
    Auerbach, Tanpınar and Edib in Istanbul: Reinventing the Humanities and Comparative Literature An Interview with Efe Khayyat on Istanbul 1940 and Global Modernity: The World according to Auerbach, Tanpınar, and Edib OĞUZ TECİMEN uring the last decade ground-breaking studies on Erich Auerbach have appeared Din English, reviving the interest in Auerbach’s extraordinary work worldwide. Kader Konuk’s East West Mimesis (2010), for instance, demonstrates the historical, geo- graphical and academic circumstances that conditioned Auerbach’s writing of Mimesis in Istanbul. Konuk aptly shows how Auerbach’s masterpiece is not just a work of exile, as Edward Said and others once argued, but was thoroughly informed by Auerbach’s tenure in Istanbul between 1936-1947. As another example, the collection of writings by Auerbach, Time, History and Literature (translated by Jane O. Newman, 2013) along with James I. Porter’s comprehensive introduction to the volume, covers Auerbach’s in- tellectual trajectory from beginning to end, depicting Auerbach as a multifaceted intel- lectual (philologist, philosopher, historian, literary critic), and revealing the relevance of Auerbach’s work to comparative and world literary studies today. Despite these and many other extraordinary contributions to Auerbach scholarship, there seemed to be something missing in this ever-expanding corpus. Did Auerbach not have any non-Western colleagues to work with in Istanbul? Did he not have Turkish colleagues at Istanbul University in addition to Turkish students? If Auerbach

This compelled him to place his immediate wants before all else ; he could not afford to work for art's sake alone, and many of his verses were written either for money or in the hopes of gaining it. That under such conditions he should have attained the high position that he did proves him to have been possessed of more than ordinary ability, and the remark of the critics quoted by Latifi is well-founded that it must have been by sheer force of native talent that a man without education, who had never sat at the feet of muderris or professor, was able to produce works of imaginative art that filled the cultured with admiration and amazement. The biographer just mentioned waxes enthusiastic when discussing Zati's gifts; not only is he the most prolific of the lyrists, but had it not been for his deafness and his poverty it is certain that not one of all tliose who went before or followed after him could have approached him, for he would have been uiiif|uc in the cycle and pre-eminent on the earth; 'many an age must the circling heavens roll ere mother earth bring forth to the world fiom the womb of nature one of loft\' genius like to i)ini.'

    EDHEM ELDEM OTTOMANS AT THE ALHAMBRA, 1844-1914 AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PERCEPTION OF AL-ANDALUS BY OTTOMAN SUBJECTS IN TIMES OF MODERNITY A PHOTOGRAPH It all started with a photograph a friend showed me years ago, and which I came to seriously study only very recently. An albumen print pasted on cardboard, with no indication of the photographer, depicted a slender bearded man wearing a dark cloak and a white turban, standing in the corner of a Moresque courtyard. The back of the photograph bore inscriptions in both Turkish and Arabic, starting with a legend for the photograph, in the former language (fig. 1): “An apartment in the palace of the Alhambra, located in the city of Granada in Al-Andalus.” Followed a dedication to a certain Hasan Tahsin Bey, described as “prosecutor at the Beirut court of appeal.” This mention was dated 22 January 1327, which corresponds to 4 February 1912, and signed by “Khalīl Jawād al- Khālidī, former naib (deputy kadi, or judge) of Diyarbekir.” The author then proceeded to introduce the six verses that ended the inscription: “A copy of the poem I wrote in the visitor’s book of the Alhambra.” Department of History, Boğaziçi University. Chaire internationale d’histoire turque et ottomane, Collège de France. Turcica, 49, 2018, p. 239-359. doi: 10.2143/TURC.49.0.3285083 © 2018Turcica.Tous droitsréservés. 240 EDHEM ELDEM Fig. 1.

Prof. Selçuk Akşin Somel Keywords: Ahmed Cevdet Pasha, the Tanzimat era, Partiality This thesis aims to reassess the reliability of Ahmed Cevdet Pasha’s Tezakir and Maruzat as the substantial primary sources of the Tanzimat period and go beyond the understand- ing of the ‘incontestability’ of Cevdet Pasha’s writings. Being originally from the ilmiye class, Cevdet Pasha was one of the most prominent statesmen of the Tanzimat era and actively involved in the implementation of numerous reforms. Therefore, while his ac- counts are dealt with, it is important to figure out the expectations, purposes, and perspec- tives that formed the basis of Cevdet's narration in order to evaluate to what extent Cevdet’s accounts are objective and reliable. In this study, first, Cevdet’s subjective atti- tude toward the five grand viziers —Reşid, Fuad, Âli, Mahmud Nedim, and Midhat Pa- shas— of the era is examined. Second, Cevdet’s notion of the sultanate is considered and his attitude toward the two sultans of the Tanzimat era—Abdülmecid and Abdülaziz— and their reigns is analyzed.
