Morphologic Assessment of Istanbul Beyoğlu Peninsula in the Process of Reproducing the Urban Waterfront
Birik, Melih Morphologic Assessment of Beyoğlu Peninsula 50th ISOCARP Congress 2014 Morphologic Assessment of Istanbul Beyoğlu Peninsula In the Process of Reproducing the Urban Waterfront. Peer-reviewed paper Melih Birik, Kırklareli University, Turkey Abstract “Water”, the main signifier of Istanbul had different meanings for the city specifically starting from Haliç (also known as the Golden Horn) to the Bosphorus. During the long period of urbanization, Haliç became the backbone of integrated historical sites that encounters different morphologic characteristics. Despite deep cultural, social and geographical roots integrating its identity with the water, today Istanbul’s city centre is under the risk of turning its back on the waterfront because of currently planned spatial interventions. Lack of connections and flows are separating this vibrant city centre from the coastline. In this assessment, the spatial qualifications of the waterfront of Beyoğlu Peninsula examined according to morphologic values in order to re-associate it with its hinterland. During the 1950s and 60s, a modernizing ideology of new production methods guiding the spatial planning policies had transformed the waterfront of Istanbul, creating barriers between the city centre and the water. Especially, along the Beyoğlu Peninsula following the coastline from Besiktas to the Halic shipyard the barriers have a massive effect. While the new urban planning ideology of the 80s was predicting the decentralization program for waterfront, the city centre has had a new chance to create the potential for the use of spatial voids within the solid structure of the old urban fabric. Unfortunately, during the last decade, these potential public areas, consisting of warehouses, shipyards, industrial plants and customhouses of mostly industrial heritage buildings were enclosed in privatization programs under the guidance of a real estate market based on certain urban transformation policies. -
Reading the LGBT Movement Through Its Spatiality in Istanbul, Turkey
Reading the LGBT Movement through its Spatiality in Istanbul, Turkey Ozlem Atalay* and Petra L. Doan** Florida State University This article reviews the development of the LGBT movement in Turkey and ar- gues that the existing literature provides an incomplete analysis of the relationship between this movement and the urban spaces that enabled it. We approach the LGBT movement literature with the questions of ‘What is the relation between neighborhoods changing under the neoliberal policies and the LGBT movement? How has the LGBT movement responded to such spatial changes?’. To answer these questions, we divide our article into two main sections. In the first part, we review the existing studies that focus on the LGBT movement in Turkey to briefly present the evolution of the movement. This review demonstrates the lack of spatial consideration of the struggles between the movement and state and society, particularly in Istanbul, where neoliberal policies have enabled significant urban redevelopment. In the second section we develop our central argument, and then discuss the importance of spatiality to understand: 1) The role and power of space in the LGBT activism and movement as an enabler of organizing, and 2) How the community has found ways to not only survive and live but also to create spaces of resistance against the exclusionary and displacing processes of neo-liberal struc- turing of the city. To these ends, we focus on Beyoglu, Istanbul where the LGBT community reached a critical mass and formed the movement. We focus on the sub-districts of Cihangir in the 1990s before its gentrification, Tarlabasi in 2000 through its state-led gentrification process and Gezi Park Movement in 2013 to understand the enabling role of these spaces and their transformation into spaces of resistance. -
ENVIRONMENT of CULTURE and ART in the OTTOMAN EMPIRE in 19Th CENTURY
The Online Journal of Science and Technology - April 2018 Volume 8, Issue 2 ENVIRONMENT OF CULTURE AND ART IN THE OTTOMAN th EMPIRE IN 19 CENTURY Nesli Tuğban YABAN Baskent University, Department of Public Relations and Publicity, Ankara-Turkey [email protected] Abstract: Westernisation and modernisation of the Ottoman Empire began to burgeon in the 17th century; it became evident in the 18th century and the 19th century witnessed the most intense interaction and the exact reconstruction process. New way of living which was originated in Europe and representatives thereof became influential as guides and determinants of reconstruction process in the Ottoman Empire. It is possible to point out that the Ottoman Empire which got closer to France for handling military problems, to England for industrialisation purposes and to Italy for architecture and arts had intense communication and the resulting interaction with European states in the course of reconstruction process. This study aims to give information about the social, cultural and artistic environment in the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II (1876-1909). Key Words: Culture, Art, Ottoman Empire, Sultan Abdul Hamid II. General View of the Environment of Culture and Art in 19th Century in the Ottoman Empire It is clear that sultans had a very important role in the ruling of the country as a part of state system of the Ottoman Empire thus, good or bad functioning of the state and events and actions which might affect the society from various aspects were closely connected to personality, behaviours and mentality of the sultan. -
Traditional Forms and Genres of Turkish Music in the Creations of International Art Music Composers of Turkey*
EKOD / 2018 (12): 33-49 TRADITIONAL FORMS AND GENRES OF TURKISH MUSIC IN THE CREATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL ART MUSIC COMPOSERS OF * TURKEY Türk Uluslararası Sanat Müziği Bestecilerinin Eserlerinde Türk Müziğinin Geleneksel Türleri ve Biçimleri Özge USTA** ABSTRACT 19th century was an era of nationalist movements in music. Nationalism was seen in important regions of the world, especially in Russia and Northern Europe. These nationalistic movements affected international art music composers of Turkey in the early years of Turkish Republic. Generally Turkish composers preferred to use traditional folk music elements instead of the elements of traditional art music. Either folk music with its melodic characteristic or maqam structure of art music is used by many international Turkish composers after the Turkish Fives. Generally, maqam factors are used as building stones in the compositions. The genre has been the less mentioned subject than maqam regarding the reflection of tradition. Besides, it is seen that the forms and genres of folk music are used in international art music. Here I present the composers’ preferences regarding Turkish music genres with notation samples. Keywords: Turkish traditional forms, Turkish traditional genres, Turkish international art music composers, Turkish traditional music, Turkish fives. ÖZ 19. yüzyıl, müzikte ulusalcı hareketlerin görüldüğü dönemdi. Ulusalcılık dünyanın önemli bölgelerinde özellikle Rusya ve Kuzey Avrupa’da görülmüştü.

Issues of Musical Identity During The
RAST MÜZİKOLOJİ DERGİSİ Uluslararası Müzikoloji Dergisi www.rastmd.com Doi:10.12975/rastmd.2016.04.01.00067 ISSUES OF MUSICAL IDENTITY DURING THE FOUNDATION OF THE TURKISH REPUBLIC (1923-1950) Adem Merter Birson1 ABSTRACT In the early years of the Turkish Republic, music was a central topic in the cultural reforms that aimed to guide Turkey in the modernism and progressivism that defined the first half of the twentieth century. Several issues were involved, including the “change of civilizations” from an Ottoman and Eastern identity to becoming more like a Western European nation-state. This was a period that saw the establishment of Western-style music conservatories and the employment of musicians and musicologists to help establish a national classical music based on Turkish folk elements. At the same time, media outlets such as radio helped to shape and disseminate a national folk musical style. Private music making and cultural exchange with the West also played an important role in shaping a new Ottoman style. All of these elements worked together to form a rich and complex fabric of musical identity during the early days of the Turkish Republic. Keywords: Turkish Republic, National Identity, Cultural Reforms, Classical Music, Folk Music TÜRK CUMHURİYETİ KURUMLARINDA MÜZİKAL KİMLİK MESELESİ (1923-1950) ÖZET Yirminci yüzyılın ilk yarısında müzik, Türkiye’yi erken Cumhuriyet döneminde çağdaşlık ve ilericelik konusunda yönlendiren önemli bir alan olarak tanımlanmıştır. Osmanlı ve Doğu kimliğinden Batı ve Avrupa ulus devletine dönüşüm, uygarlıkların değişimi gibi birçok konuyu içeriyordu. Bu, Batı stili müzik konservatuvarlarının kuruluşu ve Türk halk kültürüne dayalı ulusal klasik müziğin oluşturulması amacıyla müzisyenlerden ve müzikologlardan faydalanılmasını içeren bir dönemdi. -

Introduction It is fair and accurate to say that this beautiful building and gladdening house of worship— all of solid marble and so charming— has no like or counterpart not only in the capital [Istanbul], but indeed in [all] the lands of Islam. —Ahmed efendİ, construction accountant of the nuruosmanİye mosque The mosque that Sultan Mahamout had built is, without doubt, the most beautiful that one can see in the Empire, after one has seen St. Sophia. — Jean-Claude flachat, french merchant and resident of istanbul ritten of the mid- eighteenth- century Nuruosmaniye Mosque by authors contemporary with its construction, these statements may surprise the Wmodern observer (fig. 1). So conditioned are we to locate the heyday of Ottoman architecture in the sixteenth century— and above all in the works of Sinan (d. 1588)— that it is difficult to credit that a later building could have excited such praise. If the first statement might be dismissed as mere hyperbole on the part of an Ottoman official involved in the mosque’s construction, the second— penned by a Frenchman with no connection to the project— cannot be so easily disregarded. Indeed, the widespread acclaim that greeted the Nuruosmaniye bespeaks a mo- mentous shift in the history of Ottoman architecture, one embedded in, and itself constitutive of, far- reaching sociopolitical developments. The modern focus on the period before 1600— what has come to be known as the Ottoman classical age— has obscured the decisive role of the eighteenth century in (re)shaping the Ottoman Em- Fig. -

Tales of Tiles in Ottoman Empire
Colour: Design & Creativity (3) (2008): 9, 1–7 http://www.colour-journal.org/2008/3/9/ Tales of Tiles in Ottoman Empire Simten Gündeş, Melis Oktuğ and Deniz Özden* İstanbul Kültür University Art and Design Faculty, Ataköy Yerleşkesi, Bakırköy, İstanbul, Turkey *İstanbul University Fine Arts Department, Beyazıt, İstanbul, Turkey Email: [email protected] In this article the progress of Turkish tiling art during the Seljuk and Ottoman periods in Anatolia is discussed. Paralleling historical development, examples are given examples of tile techniques both on interior and exterior surfaces. Description of tiling development is given within a diachronic method analysing the original patterns and techniques as a sign of Anatolian civilisation. Introduction The origin of the word ‘tile’ comes from Persian noun phrase ‘Çin-I’ which means tiles manufactured in the Chinese style. The same word has been used in Turkish for glazed patterns or coloured panels. Tile art, that has a great importance in traditional Turkish art, has developed over several centuries. Tiles are widely used in the architecture of many Turkish, monuments, as well as other states in Asia. These developments and the signifi cance of Turkish tile art are discussed below. Turkish settlement of Anatolia intensifi ed after the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. The Seljuk commander Kutalmışoğlu Süleyman Şah extended his conquests in Anatolia westward, taking Iznik from Byzantium in 1075. He made Iznik his capital and announced the independence of the Anatolian Seljuk state, which lasted until 1318, when the Ilkhanids wiped out the last Anatolian Seljuk sultanate. The present-day district of Sogut in the province of Bilecik is where, in the time of the Anatolian Seljuk sultanate, the beylik (principality) of the Osmanogullari was established in the year 1299 by Osman Bey.
