Bir Zamanlar Galata (1996-2006) 16.1 Kişiler I
BİR ZAMANLAR GALATA (1996-2006) 16.1 KİŞİLER I İstanbul Beyoğlu ilçesinde bulunan Galata gerçekten dinlerin, dillerin, diğer bir deyişle kültürlerin bir arada bulunduğu bir mozaiktir. Galata en parlak dönemini 1303-1453 yılında bağımsız bir Ceneviz kenti olarak yaşamıştır. Bu yönden araştırmalarımda özellikle bu sınırın dışına çıkılmamıştır. İstanbul’a yerleştiğim son 10 yıldaki (1996-2006) Galata’da incelemelerim, suyolları hakkında çalışmalarım burada toplanmıştır. Galata’yı daha yakından tanımam için Galata Derneğine üye oldum, yönetim kurulunda görev aldım. Ancak umduğum kültürel aktiviteleri burada bulamadığımdan bu dernekten ayrıldım. Bu çalışmalar sadece bu dönemdeki çalışmalarımla ilgili bir derlemedir. Toplanan yazılar Türkçe ve İngilizce ve çeşitli dillerindedir. Bunların Türkçeye çevrilmesine gerek görülmemiştir.

The Byzantine Heritage of Istanbul: Resource Or
THE BYZANTINE HERITAGE OF ISTANBUL : RESOURCE OR BURDEN ? A STUDY ON THE SURVIVING ECCLESIASTICAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE HISTORICAL PENINSULA WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF PERCEPTION , PRESERVATION AND RESEARCH IN THE TURKISH REPUBLICAN PERIOD by Ayİe Dilsiz A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate School of Social Sciences in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Anatolian Civilizations and Cultural Heritage Management Koç University November 2006 Koç University Graduate School of Social Sciences This is to certify that I have examined this copy of a master‘s thesis by Ayİe Dilsiz and have found that it is complete and satisfactory in all respects, and that any and all revisions required by the final examining committee have been made. Committee Members: Alicia Simpson, Ph. D. (Advisor) Gül Pulhan, Ph. D (Advisor) AslÛ Niyazio₣lu, Ph. D. Lucienne Thys-ğenocak, Ph. D. Engin Akyürek, Ph. D. Date: ii Abstract This thesis aims to examine the current state of the Byzantine architectural heritage of Istanbul and, more specifically, the factors responsible for the ideological and physical approach to Byzantine ecclesiastical monuments during the Turkish Republican Period. A comprehensive examination of the current situation has shown that politics and nationalism, religion and urban development in the Historical Peninsula are the principal factors and conditions that have affected the Byzantine monuments throughout the twentieth century. These issues are first treated individually in order to determine their impact on the perception of Byzantine heritage in general and the state of preservation of its monuments in particular. The above discussion is complemented with an enquiry into the fate and condition of individual structures during the twentieth century. -

Bölge, 330 yılında Konstantinus şehrini kurup surlarını yaptığı dönemden bu yana da şehrin sınırları içindedir. Bu metin, Süleymaniye bölgesi nerededir ve Süleymaniye bölgesinde neler vardır sorusunu Konstantinopolis şehrinin 5. yüzyıla ait envanter listesi Notitia Urbis Constantinopoletae üzerinden soracaktır. Notitia, II. 207 Theodosius (hd 401-450) dönemine ait bir envanter listesidir. Bu liste antik yazarların gerçekliği şüpheli şehir tasvirlerinden farklı olarak, idari bir yarar gözeterek yapılmış olduğu sanılmakta ve bu sebeple gerçeklikten uzaklaşmadığı düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca bu liste hazırlandığı dönemin çağdaşıdır. Bu yönüyle de geçmişin ışıltısını anlatan antik yazarlardan ayrılır. Araştırma sınırları bugün Süleymaniye bölgesi için bilinen iki sınır üzerinden belirlenmiştir. Bunlar Süleymaniye bölgesinin Unesco Dünya Miras listesiyle belirlenen koruma sınırı, ikincisi bölge için 2006 yılında ilan edilen yenileme sınırıdır. Bu iki sınır koruma sınırlarında çakışmakta, yenileme sınırı koruma sınırını Haliç kıyılarına doğru genişletmektedir. Güncel sınırlarda üzerinden, bir başka ve antik sınır belirleyicisi Notitia’nın tariflerinin anlaşılması hedeflenmektedir.

Building Medieval Constantinople Abstract The visitor to modem Istanbul is often struck by the dramatic contrasts of the city: ostentatious displays of wealth appear side by side with poverty and squalor; the decrepid hovels of the poor lie in the shadows of monuments of past glory; at the same time, a new city rises amid the ruins of antiquity. How much has the character of the city changed since Byzantine times?

A number of European architects, planners, and artists were involved in the transformation of this small Anatolian town into the political and symbolic centre of the ‘New Turkey’ - as the Republic was also known.
