Message of Welcome from the President of the Middle East Technical University

Distinguished Guests and Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Middle East Technical University on the occasion of WOCMES 2014 meeting, which is organized by our Department of Political Science and Public Administration and Graduate Program of Middle East Studies, in collaboration with Turkish Social Sciences Association.

After more than two years of intensive preparations, I am pleased to see that the Congress is attended by a remarkable number of very distinguished academics, policy makers and researchers, who represent a wide variety of universities and institutions from 74 countries. The Congress has an impressive scientific program with about 400 academic sessions designed to facilitate exchange and strengthen networking among more than 1.500 participants.

I believe Middle East Technical University is a very appropriate venue for the meeting of WOCMES 2014. When our University was established in 1956, part of its mission was to train the young people of Middle Eastern countries, hence the name “Middle East Technical University.” After 58 years,e w continue to fulfill this mission and maintain very close ties within the region. Today, the region is still well-represented among our international students and staff members who come from more than 100 countries. True to our name, the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) departments comprise 2/3 of approximately 28,000 students and 2,600 academics in our three campuses. I would like to stress that in the remaining 1/3 of the University, we have a very formidable social sciences component. Indeed, our academics, students, and researchers working in social science fields contribute very significantly to our academic strength, as well aso t our national and international reputation. As this Congress exemplifies, our social science departments and centers have been at the forefront of international scientific cooperation and very active in international research collaboration schemes, such as the EU Framework Programmes. I hope our colleagues from other institutions in Turkey and abroad, will find the time and opportunity to learn more about our University during their stay, and that this Congress will lead to further collaborations in the future.

Distinguished Participants and Colleagues,

In the recent years, and especially in the last several weeks, the Middle East region has been experiencing, once again, major conflicts, fall of governments and regimes, wars, massacres, destruction of communities, and extensive displacement of people. The whole region is in a state of flux, trying to cope with very severe conflicts, assaults, and threats.

This Conference, I know, will help us better understand different belief and value systems, and distinct worldviews represented in the region, as well as the reasons for the failure and refusal to accept and cherish diversity and plurality as sources of strength and wealth in our societies. I congratulate all the participants for taking on such crucial and challenging topics.

I also congratulate and thank the members of the Organizing Committee, my colleagues at the Political Science and Public Administration Department and Middle East Studies Graduate Program who helped with the preparations, and Turkish Social Sciences Association for their valuable contributions.

I wish you all a very productive meeting, and a pleasant stay on our campus and in Turkey. Thank you. Bienvenue de L’honorable Président de L’université Technique du Moyen-Orient

Chers Invités et Collègues, C’est un honneur de vous accueillir à l’Université Technique du Moyen-Orient à l’occasion du congrès WOCMES 2014, organisé par notre Département de Science Politique et d’Administration Publique et le Programme d’Etudes Supérieures du Moyen-Orient, en collaboration avec l’Association Turque des Sciences Sociales. Après plus de deux années de préparation intensive, je suis heureux de voir que le Congrès est fréquenté par un nombre remarquable d’éminents universitaires, décideurs et chercheurs, qui représentent une grande variété d’universités et d’institutions de 74 pays différents. Le Congrès dispose d’un programme scientifique impressionnant avec presque de 400 sessions académiques visant à faciliter les échanges et à renforcer les liens entre plus de 1.500 participants. Je crois que l’Université Technique du Moyen-Orient est le lieu approprié pour le congrès du WOCMES 2014. Quand notre Université a été créée en 1956, une partie de sa mission était de former les jeunes des pays du Moyen-Orient, d’où son nom d”Université Technique du Moyen-Orient”. Après ces 58 années, nous continuons à remplir cette mission et à maintenir des liens très étroits dans la région. Aujourd’hui, celle-ci est bien représentée parmi nos étudiants internationaux et les membres de notre personnel qui viennent de plus de 100 pays différents. Fidèle à notre nom, les départements du STEM (Science, Technologie, Ingénierie, Mathématiques) regroupent aux 2/3 environ 28.000 étudiants et 2.600 professeurs sur nos trois campus. Je tiens à préciser que dans le tiers restant, nous avons un élément très important spécialisé en Sciences Sociales. En effet, nos professeurs, étudiants et chercheurs travaillant en sciences sociales contribuent dee manièr très significative à notre force académique, ainsi qu’à notre réputation nationale et internationale. A l’exemple de ce congrès, nos départements et centres en sciences sociales se sont placés à l’avant-garde de la coopération scientifique internationale, et ont été très actifs dans les programmes de collaboration de recherche internationale tels que les programmes-cadres de l’UE. J’espère que nos collègues des autres institutions de Turquie et à l’étranger, trouveront le temps et les opportunités d’en apprendre davantage sur notre Université au cours de leur séjour, et que ce Congrès conduira à de nouvelles collaborations dans le futur. Chers Participants et Collègues, Dans les dernières années, et en particulier au cours de ces dernières semaines, la région du Moyen-Orient a connu, une fois de plus, des conflits majeurs, des chutes de gouvernements et de régimes, des guerres, des massacres, la destruction de communautés et d’importants déplacements de personnes. Toute la région est dans un état de flux, essayant de faire face à des conflits très graves, des agressions et des menaces. Cette conférence, je sais, nous aidera à mieux comprendre les différents systèmes de croyances, valeurs et visions du monde présentes dans la région, aussi bien que les raisons de l’échec et le refus d’accepter et de chérir la diversité et la pluralité des sources de la force et de la richesse dans nos sociétés. Je félicite tous les participants d’avoir choisis des sujets cruciaux et difficiles. Je félicite et remercie également les membres du Comité d’Organisation, mes collègues du Département de Science Politique et d’Administration Publique et le Programme des Etudes Supérieures au Moyen-Orient qui ont aidé aux préparations, ainsi que l’Association Turque des Sciences Sociales pour sa précieuse contribution. Je vous souhaite, à tous, une réunion très productive, et un agréable séjour sur notre campus et en Turquie. Merci. Message of Welcome from WOCMES 2014 Ankara

Message of welcome

We, as the local organisers, are honoured to welcome you all to WOCMES 2014, jointly organised by METU Department of Political Science and Public Administration, METU Middle East Studies Graduate Program and, the Turkish Social Sciences Association. It is to be noted that WOCMES 2014 is taking place at a time when the political developments in the region are becoming increasingly worrisome with a huge and unacceptable human cost to millions of people who are forced out of their homes, as the number of displaced people and refugees are steadily rising.

Turkey has always been a significant center in the Mediterranean and the Middle East for obvious reasons. And, no doubt, Middle East Technical University (METU) ranked as one of the World’s Top Universities by several ranking institutions offers an excellent environment for such a major event like WOCMES 2014. While Turkish Social Sciences Association (TSSA), established in 1967, has a long pedigree in organizing scientific gatherings with the involvement of national and international participants and with an emphasis on interdisciplinary studies, WOCMES 2014 will be the most important international organization that it has undertaken.

Given the fact that this being the fourth one to be organized since the inaugural one back in 2002, it seems that WOCMES is making a tour around the Mediterranean as the second one was in Amman, and the third one in Barcelona. It is apposite that it has been like that since the Mediterranean, with its history of human and cultural exchanges, is a privileged environment for WOCMES to bring together experts from all over the world, to exchange new ideas, to strengthen and build regional and global networks for joint research. We sincerely hope that WOCMES 2014 will also enhance the ways in which the participants will come to terms with differences of opinions among themselves so that the debates they will be engaged will be enlightening as well as bringing a glimmer of hope for the protracted conflicts of the Middle East as a whole.

We are also pleased that the WOCMES Award for Outstanding Contribution for Middle Eastern Studies, will this time be received by a former member of our university, Prof. Dr. Suraiya Faroqhi who had worked at METU during 1971-1987.

With these thoughts, we wish a very successful and rewarding congress to all the participants. We also hope that they will enjoy the cultural events organized during the course of WOCMES 2014.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Özlem Tür Chairperson of Middle East Studies Graduate Programme METU Message de bienvenue du WOCMES Ankara 2014

Nous sommes honorés en tant que organisateurs locaux de vous accueillir à WOCMES 2014 organise par le Département de Science Politiques et d’Administrations Publique de METU, Programme d’Etudes Supérieurs en Moyen Orient de METU et L’Association Turque des Sciences Sociales. Il est á noter que WOCMES 2014 a lieu dans une période pendant laquelle les développements politiques dans la région deviennent de plus en plus inquiétants avec une grande et inacceptable perte humaine pour des millions de personnes qui sont forcées de quitter leur maison, alors que le nombre de personnes déplacées et des refugies s’élève constamment.

La Turquie a toujours été un centre important dans la Méditerranée et le Moyen Orient pour des raisons évidents. Sans doute, L’Université Technique du Moyen Orient (METU), classe parmi les Meilleurs Universités du Monde par plusieurs instituts de classement, offre un environnement excellent pour un évènement considérable comme WOCMES 2014. Bien que L’Association Turque des Sciences Sociales a une longue ascendant sur l’organisation des réunions scientifiques accordant une importances particulière aux études interdisciplinaires avec l’implication des participants nationaux et internationaux, WOCMES 2014 sera l’organisation internationale la plus importante dans laquelle elle s’engage.

WOCMES 2014 étant le quatrième Congre organise depuis son inauguration en 2002, il semble que WOCMES fait un circuit autour de la Méditerranée après sa deuxième organisation à Amman et la troisième en Barcelone. Cette approche est pertinente vu que la Méditerranée est un lieu privilégié pour WOCMES pour réunir des experts de tous les coins du Monde, pour échanger des idées nouvelles, pour construire et renforcer des réseaux régionaux et globaux de recherches concertées. Nous souhaitons sincèrement que WOCMES 2014 enrichira les moyens par lesquels le participants transigent sur les divergences de vue afin qu’ils s’impliquent dans des débats instructifs et qu’ils émettent un faible lueur d’espoir aux conflits prolongés du Moyen Orient dans son ensemble.

Nous sommes aussi ravis que le prix WOCMES pour une Contribution Exceptionnelle aux Etudes du Moyen Orient serait accordée cette année a un ancien membre de notre Université, Prof. Dr. Suraiya Faroqhi, qui a servi a METU entre 1971-1987.

Nous souhaitons à tous les participants un congre très réussi et gratifiant. Nous espérons aussi qu’ils apprécieront les évènements culturels organisés au cours d WOCMES 2014.

Kardeş Türküler Musics and Dances of Anatolia, Mesopotamia and Thrace

KARDEŞ TÜRKÜLER DANCE-MUSIC PERFORMANCE The Kardeş Türküler Project also has within its scope to conduct research on the songs and dances of the many peoples, of Anatolia and its surroundings, with their different languages and beliefs. The resulting compositions, while based firmly on traditional songs and dance forms, are performed within the project’s own approach to arrangement.

KARDEŞ TÜRKÜLER & ARA DINKJIAN ARA DINKJIAN is an Armenian born in America in 1958. His earliest professional musical experience was accompanying his father Onnik Dinkjian, a renowned Armenian folk and liturgical singer. Ara learned several western and eastern instruments (piano,guitar, darbuka, and clarinet) and in 1980 graduated from the Hartt College of Music, earning the country’s first and only special degree in the instrument for which he has become most well-known, the oud. For the past 35 years, he has continued his post as organist in the Armenian Apostolic Church. Throughout his musical life, Ara has continued to develop his highly personal compositional style which blends his eastern and western roots. In 1985, to help realize these compositions and musical concepts, Ara formed his instrumental quartet, Night Ark, which recorded four CDs for RCA/BMG and Universal/PolyGram. Night Ark’s recordings and concert tours were highly influential for musicians and music lovers throughout the world because they demonstrated how music can move forward while still retaining the dignity and soul of one’s culture. Ara Dinkjian’s compositions have had a universal appeal. His songs have been recorded by world famous instrumentalists and singers in thirteen different languages, demonstrating that music does indeed unite people and cultures. Kardeş Türküler and Ara Dinkjian had several concerts in İstanbul, Diyarbakır and New York.

KARDEŞ TÜRKÜLER & ARTO TUNÇBOYACIYAN Arto Tunçboyacıyan is a world-renowned percussionist and vocalist of Turkish-Armenian descent. Born and raised in Turkey alongside his beloved brother, the renowned musician Onno Tunç, Tunçboyacıyan had appeared on numerous records in Europe, including ones with Turkish pop legend Sezen Aksu, before arriving in the United States in 1981. In the US, he has worked with jazz legends such as Chet Baker, Al Di Meola, Joe Zawinul and Paul Winter & The Earth Band. Arto currently helms numerous collaborative music projects including The Armenian Navy Band, a fifteen man orchestra rooted in a mix of contemporary and traditional Armenian and Anatolian music; Night Ark with Ara Dinkjian, SERART with System of a Down lead singer Serj Tankian and the quartet Human Element featuring Matthew Garrison, Scott Kinsey and Gary Novak. Tunçboyacıyan is the music director of Kardeş Türküler’s latest album Cocuk Hakli (The Kid is Right). He was recently afforded the honor of the 2011 Grammy® Award for Best New Age Album, Miho: Journey to the Mountain with Paul Winter Consort.

Kardeş Türküler Musiques et Dances d’Anatolie, Mésopotamie et Thrace

PERFORMANCE DANSE-MUSIQUE DE KARDEŞ TÜRKÜLER Le Projet Türküler Kardeş a également pour objectif de mener des recherches sur les chansons et les danses de nombreux peuples, de l’Anatolie et de ses environs, avec leurs différentes langues et croyances. Les compositions résultantes, reposant fermement sur des chansons et des formes de danses traditionnelles, seront arrangées selon la propre approche du projet à disposition.

KARDEŞ TÜRKÜLER & ARA DINKJIAN ARA DINKJIAN est un Arménien né aux USA en 1958. C’est en accompagnant son père Onnik Dinkjian, chanteur folk et liturgique reconnu qu’il a eu sa première expérience musicale professionnelle. Ara a appris plusieurs instruments occidentaux et orientaux (piano, guitare, derbouka et clarinette) et en 1980 a été diplômé du Collège de musique Hartt, obtenant ainsi le seul et unique diplôme spécial du pays dans l’instrument avec lequel il est, depuis, devenu célèbre, le oud. Ces 35 dernières années, il a continué son poste d’organiste à l’Eglise apostolique arménienne. Tout au long de sa carrière musicale, Ara a continué à développer son style de composition très personnelle mêlant ses racines orientales et occidentales. En 1985, pour l’aider à réaliser ces compositions et concepts musicaux, Ara a formé son quartet instrumental, Night Ark, lequel a enregistré quatre CD pour RCA/ BMG et Universal/Polygram. Les enregistrements et tournées de concerts de Night Ark ont beaucoup influencé les musiciens et amateurs de musique à travers le monde car ils ont démontré comment la musique peut aller de l’avant tout en conservant la dignité et l’âme de sa culture. Les compositions de Ara Dinkjian ont un attrait universel. Ses chansons ont été enregistrées par de célèbres instrumentistes et chanteurs en treize langues différentes, ce qui démontre que la musique permet d’unir les gens et les cultures. Kardeş Türküler et Ara Dinkjian ont fait plusieurs concerts à Istanbul, Diyarbakır et New York.

Concert / Concert Wednesday/ Mercredi, 20 August/Août 2014; 8.00 pm. Cultural and Convention Centre A Hall

The musicians of Alla Turca Kollektif are members of the leading ensembles in their countries (for example the Turkish State Ensemble for Historical Music or the European Union Baroque Orchestra), teaching in renowned universities like ITÜ Turkish Music Conservatory, awarded in national and international competitions and performing regularly in festivals and prestigious concerts halls in Turkey, Europe and overseas. Besides high artistic quality, literature of musicology and historical research and astonishing creativity are the basis for Alla Turca Kollektif’s projects. The ensemble respects the tradition and creates at the same time a new space for the arts in an unusual and surprising context. ATC dedicates itself to period performance practice; which means that the musicians are playing instruments of the period that the music was written.

The Group’s speciality is to focus on the wide Ottoman impact on the European Art music, starting from the 16th Century. Western music history usually tends to ignore or just to consider this impact as an exotic spice. According to the Latin saying “Ex oriente lux” (“The light is coming from the East”); we are abducting the audience to musical experiences and connections that they might have never imagined before.

Alla Turca Kollektif performs regularly in Turkey and Europe. (www.allaturca.info)

ALLA TURCA KOLLEKTİF

Concert / Concert Wednesday/ Mercredi, 20 August/Août 2014; 8.00 pm. Cultural and Convention Centre A Hall

Les musiciens de Alla Turca Kollektif sont membres de grands ensembles dans leur pays (par exemple l’Ensemble de l’Etat Turc pour la Musique Historique ou l’Orchestre Baroque de l’Union Européenne), enseignent dans les universités de renom comme le Conservatoire de Musique Turque ITÜ, récompensé lors de compétitions nationales et internationales et effectuent régulièrement des festivals et des concerts dans des salles prestigieuses en Turquie, en Europe et à l’étranger. Outre une grande qualité artistique, la littérature de la musicologie, la recherche historique et une créativité étonnante sont à la base des projets de Alla Turca Kollektif. L’ensemble respecte la tradition et crée en même temps un nouvel espace pour les arts dans un contexte inhabituel et surprenant. ATC se consacre à la pratique historique; ce qui signifie que les musiciens jouent des instruments de la même époque que celle où la musique a été écrite.

La spécialité du Groupe est de se concentrer sur le large impact ottoman au niveau de la musique de l’Art Européen, à partir du 16e siècle. L’histoire de la musique occidentale a généralement tendance à ignorer ou tout simplement de considérer cet impact comme une épice exotique. Selon l’adage latin “ex oriente lux” (“La lumière vient de l’Orient”); nous élevons le public vers des expériences et des connexions musicales qu’ils n’auraient jamais imaginé avant.

Alla Turca Kollektif se produit régulièrement en Turquie et en Europe. (www.allaturca.info)
